Breaking: Kaduna State PDP Lawmaker Resigns And Withdraws Membership From Party....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Magaji Alhassan, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) representing Kaduna State in the National Assembly, has officially resigned from his position. Alhassan conveyed his resignation in a letter addressed to the PDP’s acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, dated October 5th, 2023. He also informed the party’s acting chairman of Kwabai B ward in the Zaria Local Government Area of Kaduna State of his withdrawal from the PDP through a separate letter, dated October 7th, 2023.
Although Alhassan did not provide a specific reason for his resignation from the PDP, he returned his party membership card, which was attached to the letter he handed over to the ward chairman.
The opposition party in Kaduna State has recently experienced a series of resignations, with several members defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). On October 10, 19 councillors and their supporters from the 23 Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Kaduna officially left the PDP for the APC. They cited the effective leadership demonstrated by Kaduna State Governor Senator Uba Sani as the reason for their decision to join the APC.
Salihu Lukman, a former chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and erstwhile Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has stated that he is open to returning to the party if it fosters a united front to field a credible, widely trusted candidate across party lines.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking in an interview on Arise Television’s Morning Show, Lukman explained that he previously suspended his membership out of sheer frustration. He stressed that Nigeria’s severe socio-economic challenges require prioritizing the nation over party loyalty, urging ADC leaders to put aside differences and unite.
“I suspended my ADC membership out of frustration. I am not speaking as an ADC member because Nigeria is facing a serious challenge. Partisan politics will not get us out of the situation we are in. I am prepared to retain my ADC membership if it helps bring all the party’s leaders together, because Nigeria is bigger than the ADC.”
Additionally, Lukman challenged opposition parties to urgently revitalize their strategies if they hope to unseat the ruling administration. While expressing a strong desire for a change in government, he criticized the current weakness of the opposition and warned that they risk repeating the same tactical mistakes made during the 2023 general elections. He concluded that opposition leaders must set aside their personal ambitions and place Nigeria’s national interest first.
African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain and Nollywood actor Kenneth Okonkwo has launched a scathing attack on Peter Obi, the 2027 presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), labeling him a non-charismatic and classless politician lacking legal depth and knowledge.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Appearing on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Friday, Okonkwo addressed Obi’s ongoing defamation suit against him, arguing that the former Anambra State Governor’s legal team needs to better educate him on defamation laws. Okonkwo maintained that his comments remain fully verifiable on public platforms and insisted he never defamed Obi. Furthermore, he endorsed assertions made by Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo—who claimed Obi lies habitually—and accused the politician of being a compulsive liar bent on crushing any emerging political talent from the South-East.
Okonkwo pointed out factual and legal flaws in Obi’s approach, noting that a defamation lawsuit addresses statements already made rather than anticipated remarks, and claimed that legal actions actually began prior to his recent statements. Referencing his X (formerly Twitter) handle, Okonkwo explained that he had merely cautioned against suing a former spokesperson to prevent the potential leakage of confidential information. He also questioned why Obi has failed to sue other critics, such as Omoyele Sowore—who labeled him a packaged fraud—or Festus Keyamo, concluding that Obi’s public statements display a clear lack of legal understanding.
In preparation for the upcoming August 15, 2026 governorship election, the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has reorganized security in Osun State by deploying CP Samuel Erale to oversee election operations.
