Party Chieftain Expresses Concern Over President Tinubu’s Choices....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Rivers State members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) are expressing concerns about their political future in light of the ongoing political rapport between former Governor Nyesom Wike and President Bola Tinubu.

Wike, who currently serves as the Federal Capital Territory Minister, is a prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Despite his affiliation with the PDP, Wike openly supported Tinubu during the 2023 presidential election.

According to members of the APC in Rivers, they feel marginalized in the state’s political landscape because the President appears to favor dealing with Wike, a PDP member, rather than them. An anonymous APC official in the state lamented that despite their sacrifices for the party since 2015, Tinubu seems to have turned his back on them instead of providing support, as was the case during the tenure of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

The source expressed, “Tinubu’s actions have severely diminished what little was left of the APC or are driving the final nail into the party’s coffin in the state. It seems unlikely that the President has forgotten so quickly that it was under the leadership of Wike’s PDP in Rivers State that the APC faced numerous challenges and setbacks, significantly impacting the party’s activities from 2015 to 2019 and beyond.”

The source further emphasized that while it is within the President’s rights and authority to appoint individuals into his cabinet regardless of their political affiliations, it is equally important for him to consider the well-being of his party. The source pointed to Article 9 (3) (iii) of the APC constitution, which provides for the recognition and compensation of party members by APC-led governments at all levels. The source urged the President, as the leader of his party, to ensure that members of his party feel included in his government, regardless of any perceived shortcomings in their contributions to his victory.

“On January 2, 2026, the Ogun State Police Command invited Adetoun Onajobi to respond to allegations of online harassment of the Governor. Instead of attending, she sent a letter through her lawyer claiming medical incapacity and attached a doctor’s report detailing supposed health issues,” the statement read.

Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi has questioned the importance of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) third-place match, despite Nigeria defeating Egypt on penalties to secure bronze at the 2025 tournament in Morocco.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Nigeria claimed third place after a 4-2 shootout victory over Egypt, but Iwobi argued that the fixture holds limited significance, especially so soon after the disappointment of their semi-final exit.

The Fulham midfielder was a key figure throughout the tournament, starting every match except Nigeria’s group-stage game against Uganda. He contributed two assists in six appearances and was central to much of the team’s attacking play. In Saturday’s third-place playoff, Iwobi came off the bench in the final 25 minutes and calmly converted the decisive penalty to clinch victory.

Reflecting on the game, he admitted the mental strain on the squad following their semi-final loss to hosts Morocco.

“We were surrounded by doubts after not making it to the World Cup,” Iwobi told beIN SPORTS.
“We wanted to win gold but ended up finishing third. The match was mentally tough because it’s hard for any player to forget the pain of losing in the semi-finals. I also don’t agree with having a third-place match, but in the end, we managed to win it.”

Iwobi also praised the quality of the Egyptian team, highlighting Premier League stars Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush, both of whom had their penalties saved by Nigeria goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali.

“The Egyptian team played well, and we studied videos to prepare. Morocco is a beautiful country with great stadiums and hotels. I enjoyed the welcome and visiting Marrakech; everything was impressive,” he added.

Nigeria’s bronze finish rounded off a strong campaign, though the team fell short of its ultimate goal. Forward Ademola Lookman echoed Iwobi’s sentiments, noting that the squad came to Morocco with one clear objective: gold.

“Everyone wanted the gold medal. We came for the trophy, but it didn’t happen,” Lookman said.
“We leave the tournament with bronze, and that is enough.”

Lookman was Nigeria’s most productive player at AFCON 2025, scoring three goals and providing four assists, the tournament’s highest combined total, putting him in contention for a spot in the official Team of the Tournament.

Prior to their semi-final loss to Morocco, Nigeria had been the only unbeaten team in the competition, winning all five of their matches. The dramatic penalty shootout defeat ended their flawless run and denied the three-time African champions a spot in the final.

The Super Eagles have now finished third at AFCON nine times: 1976, 1978, 1992, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2010, 2019, and most recently in 2025 in Morocco.

“Destiny went to rest. After his child’s naming ceremony, about four days later, we went to Oba Edu Ifayomi, who traditionally initiated him. The sickness caught up with him there, causing him to collapse. We immediately took him to the hospital. Oba Edu kept supporting us, sending money even as he was transferred to other hospitals. When we realized the sickness was persistent, we decided on traditional care, and Oba Edu guided us personally,” she said.
