CSF COMMENDS GYANG ZI SAN’S LEGAL ACTION AGAINST APC, SAYS IT IS TIMELY TO CURB POLITICAL RASCALITY

The Community Structure Foundation for Good Governance (CSF) welcomes and fully supports the legal action instituted by Gyang Zi SAN against the All Progressives Congress (APC) over what constitutes political rascality in the conduct of party affairs and candidature processes.

This step has come at a timely and much-needed moment. It is a necessary intervention to put political parties and aspirants on notice that the era of unchecked calumny, defamation, and irresponsible political conduct must end. Politics should be a contest of ideas and service, not a platform for character assassination and deception aimed at misleading the electorate.

We observe with concern that the Plateau Northern Zone, in particular, has been bedeviled by an entrenched politics of lies. Contestants and political structures have, on several occasions, resorted to peddling falsehoods and defaming the character of opponents to fracture their support base and create undue advantage for candidates who lack the people’s mandate. Such actions erode public trust, weaken democracy, and deprive citizens of the opportunity to enjoy good governance.

CSF believes that checking this rascality is essential to restoring a level playing field where candidates are judged on merit, track record, and vision. This case is pivotal to stopping the shenanigans that have become routine in some party processes, and to re-establishing accountability in how political parties engage the public.

CSF supports this principle across all political parties. We stand for clean, issue-based politics that allows the people to decide freely and fairly. As we watch this process unfold, we urge citizens to remain vigilant and to demand integrity from those seeking public office.

God bless Gyang Zi SAN for taking this stand.
God bless Plateau State, and God bless Nigeria.

SAD BUT TRUE 😢

Akara and Pap was breakfast served every morning in a hostel of 100 people.

Out of the 100, 80 didn’t like it. They complained daily, saying they were tired and wanted something different.
But the remaining 20 were satisfied. They liked it just as it was.

To solve the issue, the warden introduced a simple rule: Every night, everyone would vote for what they wanted to eat the next morning. The meal with the highest number of votes would be served.

So every night, the 20 who loved Akara and Pap voted for it—with one voice.
But the 80 who didn’t like it were never united. Their votes went in different directions:

18 for Bread and Tea

16 for Yam and Egg Sauce

14 for Jollof Rice

12 for Spaghetti

10 for Indomie

10 for Moi Moi and Pap

Can u guess what the result was every single time?
Akara and Pap kept winning, Not because it was the best, but because the people who didn’t want it were too divided to agree on anything else.

In Nigeria, many are tired of the same old hardship, bad governance and recycled leadership.
We know who and what the real problems are.
But even those who want change are divided—along tribal lines, party names, personal interest, ego, ambition etc.

2027 might seem far away, but it's already around the corner. If we don’t learn from this story, we will wake up again to another bitter round of the same “meal” we’ve been served for ages.

This Is a Salient Message
THERE'S POWER IN UNITY, NOT JUST IN NUMBERS.

A United Minority Is More Formidable Than A Divided Majority.

My mother told me a story of a village that was tired of being terrorized by a hyena. Every night the hyena ate a goat or sheep. The villagers decided enough was enough. They held a meeting and agreed to hunt and kill it.

On that day, the hyena came early. But instead of finding food, it was met by angry villagers. They no longer screamed in fear, this time they attacked with arrows and shouts. The hyena had gone for days without food, but that did not stop it from running for its life.

As it fled, it met a woman working in her garden. The hyena begged her to hide it. Moved by mercy, she hid it near where her baby was sleeping. Soon the villagers arrived, armed with arrows, asking if she had seen the hyena. They even explained how it had tormented them. Calmly, the woman denied seeing it and apologized for their suffering. She told them maybe it had taken a different route. The villagers believed her and continued their search.

When the hyena realized it was safe, it came out yawning. Hungry, it asked the woman for food. She said she had nothing except her baby’s food. The hyena ate it, but was not satisfied. It then took the baby and ate it too. The woman screamed, but no one came to help. When the hyena finished with the child, it turned on the woman and killed her.

Hours later, the villagers returned, tired from chasing the wind. To their shock, they found the woman dead, half-eaten.

This is what supporting wrong things , condoning lies and seating on the fence over sensitive issues does; it's self-defeating, self-sabotaging; it will definitely come back to hurt you and haunt you , I will not only kill what you have but will destroy you too. Be careful in your Judgment always stand for the truth.

The recent decision by the National Assembly to strike out indirect primaries from the Electoral Act 2026, limiting political parties to only direct primaries or consensus, alongside other contentious provisions, represents a deeply troubling development for Nigeria’s democracy.

PRESS STATEMENT�
NATIONAL ASSEMBLY’S ELECTORAL ACT 2026 AMENDMENT: A LEGISLATIVE OVERREACH TAILORED TO SUIT ONE INDIVIDUAL AND UNDERMINE PARTY AUTONOMY.

I write with profound concern and dismay over the provisions embedded in the newly signed Electoral Act 2026, particularly the abolition of indirect primaries, the drastic reduction in campaign periods, the shortened timeline for political party primaries, and the cut in the release of funds to INEC from 12 months to 6 months before elections.

This legislation appears crafted not in the interest of broader democratic participation and fairness, but to serve the narrow ambitions of a single individual—President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (PBAT)—and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). By mandating direct primaries as the primary mode (with consensus as a restrictive alternative requiring unanimous written approval), the law effectively centralizes control of candidate selection in the hands of the national leadership in Abuja, specifically from the Villa. This removes the flexibility that indirect primaries provided to parties, allowing grassroots and state-level influence through delegates, and instead empowers a few to dictate outcomes nationwide.

The shift to direct primaries will not enhance internal democracy as claimed; rather, it will make primaries prohibitively expensive and logistically challenging for many aspirants and parties, while giving the incumbent administration undue leverage to influence or manipulate membership registers and voting processes from the center.
This is a clear attempt to consolidate power within the APC and weaken opposition parties.

Furthermore, the reduction of campaign periods and the adjustment of timelines for primaries severely disadvantage opposition parties and independent-minded aspirants, tilting the playing field heavily in favor of the ruling party and its preferred candidates. The shortening of the period for releasing funds to INEC from 12 months to 6 months undermines the Commission’s ability to prepare adequately for elections, reversing a provision designed to ensure early and sufficient funding for credible polls.

Most alarmingly, these changes constitute legislative overreach into the internal affairs of political parties. The 1999 Constitution (as amended) assigns political parties the autonomy to manage their internal processes, including candidate nomination procedures. Provisions that dictate only direct primaries or consensus encroach on this constitutional domain and may be ultra vires.
Political parties should determine their own methods best suited to their structures and members.

I urge all political parties, civil society organizations, and concerned Nigerians to challenge the questionable provisions of this Act in the courts without delay. Some clauses appear to infringe on the exclusive functions of political parties as guaranteed by the Constitution, and judicial scrutiny is essential to safeguard our democracy.

Nigeria deserves an electoral framework that promotes inclusivity, fairness, and true internal party democracy—not one engineered to entrench incumbency and control from the center.
Let us defend the integrity of our political process and the sovereignty of our parties.

God bless Nigeria.

COMMUNITY STRUCTURE FOUNDATION FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE (CSF) PRESS RELEASE

Condemnation of Attack on His Excellency Peter Obi/Onyegu Convoy and Call to Action for Zonal Coordinators

The Community Structure Foundation for Good Governance (CSF) extends Season’s Greetings to all citizens, partners, and stakeholders. At this time of sober reflection, we express deep concern over the violent attack on His Excellency Peter Obi/Onyegu Convoy at Benin City.

Reports confirmed that armed assailants arrived at the venue of the Edo state ADC chapter event just after the event ended and the guests had left, and then trailed the convoy to the residence of Chief John Inyegun, where they sporadically fired live bullets at the entrance gate to the house and also at cars parked outside the house. This deliberate act of violence is a grave threat to personal security, democratic participation, and the principles of good governance.

CSF recalls that the rights to life, liberty, and security are enshrined in Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), Article 6 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), and Article 13 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights. Any attack on a political leader engaged in lawful civic activity is a direct violation of these international standards. Political violence undermines democracy and endangers national stability.

CSF therefore calls on security agencies to:
- Conduct an immediate and impartial investigation
- Identify, apprehend, and prosecute perpetrators and sponsors
- Strengthen protective measures for political actors and public gatherings
- Uphold Nigeria’s obligations under international and regional human-rights instruments

In response, CSF urges Zonal Coordinators to intensify community engagement, reinforce early-warning systems, and collaborate with stakeholders to promote peace, vigilance, and democratic resilience. Safeguarding leaders and citizens is a collective responsibility.

CSF stands firmly with His Excellency Peter Obi and all affected individuals. Violence must never silence legitimate political participation or weaken the aspirations of the Nigerian people. We reaffirm our commitment to justice, accountability, and the protection of fundamental rights as we enter a season of renewed hope and purpose.

National Secretariat
