Expressing his views in Port Harcourt on Tuesday, Nwuke stated, “We want stability in Rivers State. We want the progress of Rivers State, and we do want peace in Rivers State. We think that, as the saying goes, you cannot have two governors in a state that is one.”
Acknowledging the significance of unity, Nwuke emphasized the importance of advancing the collective interest over individual agendas. He noted, “Our people have looked at it very clearly and critically, and we have told ourselves that if you are interested in advancing the interest of self, there is nothing wrong with you playing with those who are in Abuja.”
Meanwhile, Governor Fubara has lauded the former Governor of the state, Peter Odili, while indirectly addressing certain individuals causing discord within his administration. Speaking during the commissioning of a health center in the Ndoni community, Fubara expressed gratitude to Odili for his unwavering support amidst the state’s challenges.
Highlighting Odili’s character and integrity, Fubara remarked, “We are also happy that he is standing with us. Even his person alone is giving people high blood pressure. They are restless, granting all sorts of media interviews.”
He continued, “I’ve said it before, and I’m saying it again: it doesn’t matter the number of people that stand with you. Even if you’re standing alone, no matter the side you’re standing, provided you are standing on the right side, maintain your stand.”
Fubara emphasized the significance of integrity and character, stating, “So, if we have one person who has integrity and character, is it not better than having 1,000 persons with questionable character?”
He concluded by urging continued support for Odili and commending his commitment to societal development, referring to his actions as a manifestation of the genuine ‘I’ agenda.

Enough of the Blackmail: Oyintiloye Challenges Opponents To Face Issues Instead Of Dredging Up Old Sagas.
Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, an All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain in Osun State, has dismissed reports that the United States has revived a drug-trafficking case against President Bola Tinubu, labeling the claims as politically motivated propaganda intended to divert public attention.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a statement issued in Osogbo, Oyintiloye maintained that no American court has ordered a criminal retrial or found the President guilty. He clarified that the controversial legal filing was merely a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit focused on accessing records from U.S. law enforcement agencies rather than a criminal prosecution, emphasizing that the existence of government files from agencies like the FBI or DEA does not equate to proof of wrongdoing.
Furthermore, Oyintiloye criticized opposition figures for repeatedly recycling old accusations regarding certificate forgery, criminality, and drug allegations instead of debating substantive governance issues or offering concrete policy alternatives. He urged politicians to focus on presenting clear manifestoes and ideas to the electorate ahead of the 2027 elections rather than resorting to personal attacks and blackmail.
Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, noted that political associates of Rabiu Kwankwaso—the vice-presidential candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC)—are defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in anticipation of the 2027 presidential election.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Keyamo’s statement came as a reaction to Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, the APC National Chairman, who received various politicians and their followers into the party on a Saturday in Kano State. Among the notable figures who switched allegiance were Senator Rufa’i Sani Hanga and his loyalists, Senator Kabiru Ibrahim Gaya and his supporters, Senator Mas’ud Eljibrin Doguwa, and Fruit Faction Chairman of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) Hon. Ali Datti Yako (who also served as the State Deputy Chairman of the NDC). Other prominent arrivals included former Ungogo Local Government Area chairman Hon. Badaru Umar, alongside members affiliated with the Gawuna camp.
In response to these defections, Keyamo took to his X platform to assert that the electorate in Kano State would abandon Kwankwaso and align with the APC come 2027. He commented on the steady stream of Kwankwaso’s key allies moving over to the APC, while expressing anticipation for January 16, 2027, under God’s continued grace.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State has stated that Governor Seyi Makinde will be held accountable for any state funds utilized in pursuit of his presidential bid.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In an official statement released by its Publicity Secretary, Wasiu Sadare, the ruling party claimed that Makinde—running as the presidential candidate of the Allied People’s Movement (APM)—lacks the necessary qualifications, experience, and strategy required for the 2027 presidency. Dismissing his campaign as a charade, the APC asserted that he will be compelled to refund public resources spent on the doomed venture.
The statement criticized Makinde for promoting a dead-end political campaign, emphasizing that he is being closely watched as he wastes state funds on a structureless party.
In a related development, Adebayo Mutalubi Ojo, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and former Oyo State Commissioner for Justice, forecasted that Governor Makinde might soon face defections among his loyalists leading up to the 2027 elections. Appearing on the Ibadan-based political podcast OpenForum360, Ojo noted that as December 2026 approaches, the state’s political climate will shift, with several current supporters expected to abandon Makinde and his chosen successor, Bimbo Adekanmbi.
