Qosim Suleiman
Qosim Suleiman covers party politics and electoral contests for Premium Times, with a focus on how internal party decisions shape national outcomes. His reporting tracks political party primaries, leadership tussles and defections, and he follows those threads through to general elections and their aftermath.
Party primaries and internal power struggles
Suleiman’s core work sits inside the machinery of party politics. He reports on presidential and gubernatorial primaries, conventions, and national executive meetings where delegates choose candidates and reset power balances. In coverage such as Atiku Abubakar’s victory in the African Democratic Congress presidential primary, he details the voting process, the field of aspirants, and the implications for alliances beyond the party itself.
He routinely frames these stories around who gains or loses influence inside party structures, rather than treating primaries as isolated events.
Across his recent archive at Premium Times, many headlines follow the same pattern: party organ meets, takes a consequential decision, and he reports both the formal outcome and the internal dynamics behind it. He covers national working committee resolutions, disciplinary moves against prominent members, and attempts by factions to wrest control of party organs. His stories often highlight how procedural steps - such as screening, adoption of consensus candidates, or ratification of caretaker committees - are used as political tools by competing blocs.
Election administration, results and disputes
Suleiman also tracks elections from the party level into the broader electoral system. He reports on candidate emergence in the run-up to national and subnational polls, profiles key contests, and then covers results, concessions, and legal challenges once votes are cast. His headlines regularly feature tightly contested races, unexpected outcomes, and disputes over collation or result announcement. He pays close attention to how party agents, electoral officials and security services interact around polling and tallying.
Post-election, his work follows petitions and tribunal proceedings, especially where party nomination disputes or alleged irregularities threaten to unseat declared winners. He reports on court rulings that disqualify candidates, order reruns, or resolve intra-party challenges that spill into the electoral arena.
This gives his archive a through-line from the choice of candidates in party rooms to the validation or reversal of those choices in courtrooms.
Defections, coalitions and party discipline
A recurring theme in Suleiman’s reporting is political mobility: defections, mergers, and shifting alliances between parties and factions.
He covers high-profile defections of legislators, governors and party officers, and explains how those moves alter parliamentary arithmetic or state-level control. His stories often note the immediate triggers - such as loss of a primary ticket, suspension by party leaders or unresolved zoning disputes - and then place the move in the context of coalition-building ahead of major elections.
He also reports extensively on party discipline.
His bylines include coverage of suspensions, expulsions and reconciliatory meetings targeting influential figures who challenge leadership decisions. In these pieces he sets out the formal allegations and sanctions, but also points to the underlying struggle over nomination rights, control of party structures, or access to campaign resources.
That combination of formal party procedure and informal power politics distinguishes his treatment of what might otherwise read as routine disciplinary notes.
Legislative politics and governance follow-through
Beyond party and electoral events, Suleiman follows how political alignments play out in legislative chambers and executive–legislative relations.
His articles cover leadership contests for key parliamentary positions, including speakerships and committee chairs that emerge from intra-party bargains. He tracks confidence and no-confidence moves, impeachment threats, and high-stakes floor votes that test party cohesion.
He also reports on how campaign promises and party manifestos translate into policy once a new administration or assembly is in place.
His coverage includes debates on electoral reforms, party regulation, and governance questions that arise from the same actors and dynamics he follows during campaigns. That continuity - from primary to poll to policy - is a consistent feature of his political beat at Premium Times.

His coverage of moves to replace an Adams-era charter commission with a new government efficiency panel foregrounds mandate, authority, and what “efficiency” means in practice for agencies and services.
