Tinubu’s Pledge To Accountability Underlined By APC....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has affirmed President Bola Tinubu’s unwavering commitment to fostering an all-encompassing, transparent, and accountable governance system.
Mr. Felix Morka, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, issued this reassurance in a statement released in Abuja in response to comments attributed to Mr. Phrank Shaibu, the Media Aide to Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) 2023 presidential candidate.
Morka encouraged Nigerians to actively engage in democratic processes, express their opinions, and contribute positively to national discussions.
“As a discerning populace, we remain confident that Nigerians will continue to distinguish between genuine, constructive, and development-oriented critiques and those driven by self-interest, mercenary motives, and disruptive political agendas,” Morka remarked.
He urged Nigerians to disregard purveyors of false information and other trivial matters.
Morka pointed out that it was evident that Shaibu and individuals of his ilk would stop at nothing in their eagerness to distort facts and breathe life into their politically defeated principal.
“However, this can only worsen his notoriety in light of the president’s resolute commitment and efforts to enhance the social and economic conditions for all Nigerians.”
“The PDP and all its agents of disinformation should understand by now that no amount of sleazy propaganda, mudslinging, lies, half-truths, misrepresentations, misinformation, or disinformation will secure the presidency of Nigeria for their candidate.
“Nigerians have freely chosen our party, the APC, and President Tinubu to continue steering the ship of state, and he is diligently fulfilling his campaign promises to provide purposeful leadership,” Morka emphasized.
He noted that Shaibu exposed himself with his misguided and misleading assertion that the Tinubu-led APC administration was deceiving Nigerians through propaganda.
Morka recalled that Shaibu had alleged that the administration was more interested in spreading falsehoods than rescuing citizens from bad governance.
“In his pathological and cynical flippancy, Atiku’s aide delved into matters he clearly does not understand or lacks the fundamental capacity to grasp,” Morka stated.
He pointed out that Shaibu’s sole basis for such a conclusion was that Tinubu appointed more media aides than economic and security advisers.
According to the APC spokesperson, Atiku’s aide evidently does not comprehend the intricacies and dynamics of statecraft and economic management initiatives undertaken by Tinubu.
Morka mentioned that describing the courageous decisions of the Tinubu administration, such as the removal of fuel subsidy, foreign exchange harmonization, and the signing of the Students’ Loan Act, as lies highlights Shaibu’s limited understanding of economic development and governance.
Morka emphasized that the fine details of these visionary and people-centered policies are still being worked out and have yet to fully materialize, but this does not negate their valid objectives and potential transformative impact.
“The president has dutifully appointed experienced and highly skilled professionals to key institutions of the economy, including the Ministry of Finance, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), and established the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy in a patriotic zeal to reposition and grow the economy,” Morka noted.
Furthermore, the APC spokesperson clarified that Shaibu’s claim of the return of fuel subsidy is inaccurate. He explained that the government’s intervention to ensure some degree of price stability and predictability does not equate to the return of the detrimental fuel subsidy seen in the recent past.
Morka also pointed out that the lifting of the visa ban on Nigerians by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) authorities should be a source of joy for any well-meaning Nigerian. He added that diplomatic reconciliation between Nigeria and UAE authorities is ongoing, and the details of the outcomes will soon be made public.
“Nigeria is confronting pressing challenges that demand focused efforts and undivided attention. Issues such as economic recovery, security of lives and property, infrastructure development, and social welfare require continuous, sustained, and innovative efforts,” Morka concluded.
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has welcomed the intervention of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) in its ongoing leadership dispute, describing the legal body’s position as a validation of its long-standing claims of judicial abuse.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a statement signed by Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party said the NBA’s caution against forum shopping and abuse of court processes supports its stance that attempts to challenge its leadership in court are legally flawed.
The ADC said the NBA had clarified that courts do not have jurisdiction over internal affairs of political parties and that seeking interim or interlocutory orders in such matters contravenes the Electoral Act.
According to the party, this position aligns with its belief that the legal process is being manipulated for political purposes rather than genuine dispute resolution.
It described the situation as a coordinated attempt to weaponise the judiciary, which the NBA had reportedly condemned as abuse of court process driven by forum shopping and malicious litigation.
The ADC further linked the crisis to broader political tensions, alleging that it reflects anxiety within the ruling party amid insecurity, economic hardship, and declining public trust ahead of the 2027 elections.
The party warned that any court orders obtained contrary to due process would be legally defective and unenforceable.
While commending the NBA for urging disciplinary action against erring legal practitioners and judicial officers, the ADC called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to remain strictly neutral.
It stressed that INEC must not take any action that could legitimise what it described as unlawful judicial interference in party affairs.
The party added that the matter goes beyond internal politics and concerns the integrity of Nigeria’s democracy, vowing to pursue all lawful means to defend its position.
An aspirant for the 2027 Lagos governorship election under the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdul-Azeez Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, has said the party has not adopted any consensus or anointed candidate.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a statement issued by his spokesman, Gbenga Ogunleye, Jandor aligned with the official position of the Lagos APC leadership, stressing that no aspirant has been selected ahead of the party’s primary election.
He insisted that all interested aspirants will participate in a credible and competitive primary to determine the party’s flagbearer.
However, he noted that if the party leadership eventually opts for a consensus arrangement, he would respect and fully support the decision regardless of who emerges.
According to the statement, Jandor reaffirmed his commitment to the race, saying he is actively strengthening his grassroots support base and engaging widely with party stakeholders across Lagos State.
He also cautioned against mistaking individual campaigns or group endorsements as the official position of the APC leadership.
Jandor maintained that only an official pronouncement from the party leadership would determine its final choice of candidate for the 2027 governorship election.
The Senator representing Oyo North Senatorial District and a 2027 governorship aspirant under the All Progressives Congress (APC), Buhari Abdulfatai, has urged Nigerian women to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
He said Tinubu’s continuity in office was necessary to sustain ongoing reforms and promote equity, justice, and fairness across the country.
Buhari made the call while speaking with journalists at the end of a three-day women’s capacity-building programme held in Oyo North.
He commended the President for creating an enabling environment that allowed lawmakers to initiate empowerment programmes targeting women, especially in small and medium-scale enterprises within agricultural value chains.
The senator disclosed that 120 women from across Oyo State benefited from the training, with each receiving ₦100,000 to support their businesses.
He urged beneficiaries to use the funds wisely to improve their livelihoods and continue supporting the administration’s policies.
Buhari also encouraged participants to pray for the President, describing him as committed to improving the welfare of women and youths.
He explained that beneficiaries were drawn from all three senatorial districts in Oyo State, expressing confidence that Tinubu would emerge as the APC presidential candidate in 2027.
According to him, both he and the President recognise the crucial role of women in securing electoral victory for the party.
He added that more empowerment and capacity-building programmes would be rolled out in the near future to further support women and small business owners.
