The two warring factions of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Jigawa State have finally agreed to bury the hatchet and put an end to their prolonged legal battles over the party’s governorship ticket, following a high-level intervention led by party heavyweight Atiku Abubakar.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The breakthrough comes after weeks of intense friction within the state chapter over the primary elections and the official candidate list. During a reconciliation meeting convened by Atiku, ADC National Chairman Senator David Mark, and other national leaders, the factions were directed to withdraw all pending lawsuits and throw their weight behind the candidates already recognized and published by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Key details of the reconciliation include:

• The Core Dispute: The legal showdown involved camps led by Senator Sabo Muhammad Nakudu and Hon. Bashir Adamu Jimbo. Nakudu’s camp had challenged candidate uploads, while Jimbo’s group contested Nakudu’s eligibility over alleged primary irregularities.

• Mutual Agreement: Both leaders formally accepted the peace terms and signed an agreement to withdraw their respective cases covering governorship, running mate, and legislative slots.

• A Call for Unity: Hailing the resolution, Atiku emphasized that while political competition is natural, true strength lies in a party’s capacity to rise above division, urging all members to unite for the collective task ahead.

With the internal legal hurdles cleared, the ADC leadership in Jigawa State has reaffirmed its commitment to moving forward as a united front with mutual trust and shared purpose.

Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike has revealed that a fresh, undisclosed strategy is being brewed to counter opposition parties ahead of the 2027 general elections.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Wike made this disclosure following an extensive inspection tour of various infrastructure projects across Abuja, including Road S1 in Kaura District, Collector Road C2 in Life Camp, Arterial Road N16 in Gwarinpa, the IBB Golf Course, and the Gudu project near the Apo Legislative Quarters.

Revisiting the 2023 presidential election, Wike defended the G5 governors’ political maneuvers, explaining that they strategically shifted support away from PDP candidate Atiku Abubakar—whom they viewed as the primary threat—by allowing Labour Party’s Peter Obi to capture votes in the traditionally PDP-dominated South-South.

Key takeaways from his address include:

• The 2023 Strategy: Wike maintained that the bloc intentionally diluted Atiku’s regional stronghold, dismissing claims of rigging in Rivers State and noting that no opponent ever presented tribunal evidence proving the Labour Party won the state.

• Tackling Threats: He asserted that Peter Obi’s strength was largely a social media phenomenon, whereas Atiku posed the true political challenge at the time.

• The Reality of Rigging: Emphasizing grassroots backing, Wike bluntly stated, “You cannot rig an election where you are not popular. You cannot! If you try that, then you see what happens; people will resist it.”

As political alignments shift toward 2027, the FCT Minister has kept his cards close to his chest, refusing to let the full details of his new political blueprint out of the bag.

Aisha Yesufu, a chieftain of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), has launched a scathing attack on FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, accusing him of being “petrified of life outside governance” and suggesting his political relevance is vastly overstated.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Yesufu’s comments were a direct rebuke to Wike’s recent claims regarding the 2023 presidential election. Wike had stated that the G5 governors strategically allowed Labour Party candidate Peter Obi to win several South-South states to undermine the PDP’s Atiku Abubakar, while simultaneously ensuring Obi did not win in Rivers State.

Responding to this narrative on X (formerly Twitter), Yesufu tore into Wike’s assertions, citing the electoral failure of three G5 members who vied for senatorial seats.

“Wike LIED!!!!! 3 of the G5 Governors ran for Senate. They all lost!” she wrote.

Yesufu challenged Wike’s claims of political omnipotence, arguing, “If Wike was that powerful, how come he couldn’t give them a win in an election that was on the same day and time!”

The fiery activist concluded by dismissing Wike’s inflated sense of influence and accusing him of desperately clinging to the relevance that government office provides.
