The leading Edo gubernatorial candidate, Olumide Osaigbovo Akpata, recently completed his North American campaign tour, leaving an indelible mark as he, alongside his running mate Kadiri Yusuf and their team, captivated the entire continent. Their presence sparked widespread enthusiasm among Diaspora Edolites across multiple states in America, where Akpata engaged in meaningful dialogues about the future of Edo State.
The North American tour, which commenced at the end of August in Detroit, Michigan, and culminated just yesterday in the dynamic city of New York, was a resounding success. Throughout this tour, Akpata passionately articulated his ambitious vision for a prosperous Edo State under his leadership—a vision where every Edo citizen, both at home and abroad, would take pride in their heritage. He underscored the crucial role of support from Diaspora Edolites in realizing this vision, making it clear that their involvement is vital to transforming Edo into a beacon of progress and development.
During his interactions, Akpata outlined a comprehensive plan to address the myriad challenges that have plagued Edo State for years. He pledged to tackle issues such as the lack of development, poor infrastructure, rampant thuggery, cultism, corruption, inadequate educational systems, unemployment, and healthcare deficiencies. Akpata’s commitment to eradicating these problems resonated strongly with the Diaspora community, who saw in him a leader capable of delivering tangible change.
As the Edo gubernatorial election draws near, Akpata’s message is clear: it’s time to end the era of stagnation and usher in a new chapter of growth and prosperity. By casting their votes for Akpata as Governor and Kadiri Yusuf as Deputy Governor, Edolites have the opportunity to secure a brighter future for their state.
Political analyst Katch Ononuju has shed light on the strategic calculations behind former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi’s decision to temporarily align with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and his subsequent departure from the platform. Speaking during an interview on SYMFONI TV, Ononuju recounted the private discussions he shared with Obi prior to the political move, noting that he had initially advised the former presidential candidate against entering the opposition coalition. According to Ononuju, Obi justified the alignment by asserting that remaining outside established political structures would severely hinder his ability to negotiate for power, firmly believing that he needed to step inside the room to actively engage with the political establishment.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Despite Obi’s rationale, Ononuju opted against participating in the arrangement, choosing to remain outside the coalition alongside several other political actors who also distanced themselves from the move. Ononuju elaborated on the dynamics of the departure, recalling Obi’s perspective: “When Peter Obi said, ‘I don’t like you going to ADC,’ what he told me in Enugu is, ‘Look, the people said I can’t negotiate for power staying outside the room. I need to go into the room to go and negotiate with power.’” Ultimately, when internal obstacles made further progress impossible within the party, Obi publicly announced his exit, a decision Ononuju characterized as a natural and inevitable reaction to a dead-end political environment.

POLITICAL ULTIMATUM OF DOOM! Nwifuru Warns Ebonyi Council Chairmen: ‘Deliver APC In 2027 Or Lose Your Job!’.
Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru has issued a stern warning to the newly sworn-in chairmen and vice chairmen of the state’s 13 local government areas, declaring that they face immediate removal if they fail to deliver their domains to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections. Speaking on Tuesday in Abakaliki during the inauguration ceremony, Nwifuru emphasized that political performance will be strictly monitored, noting that any underperforming chairman will be stripped of office and replaced by a councillor.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Underscoring his stance publicly, the governor stated that political strategy will not be conducted behind closed doors, explicitly challenging the newly inducted leaders to prove their grassroots support or face swift administrative penalties. Furthermore, Governor Nwifuru offered structural guidance to the vice chairmen—metaphorically describing them as “spare tyres in the car boot”—advising them to remain actively engaged with their respective council chairmen regarding daily operations while guarding against divisive gossip and destructive external influences. Concluding his address alongside his deputy, who was commended for effective service delivery, the administration reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to ensuring a landslide victory for the ruling party in 2027, reiterating the core mandate that leadership positions are strictly tied to electoral success.

CONSTITUTIONAL EARTHQUAKE! Akpabio Declared ‘Acting President’ By Akwa Ibom Govt In Shocking Statement!.
The Akwa Ibom State Government triggered widespread debate on Tuesday after its official Facebook page mistakenly referred to Senate President Godswill Akpabio as the “Acting President of Nigeria” during a livestream of Ibom Air’s new Airbus A220-300 aircraft reception at the Victor Attah International Airport. The post, which was part of the state’s 39th-anniversary celebrations, was quickly edited to remove the title. The gaffe occurred while President Bola Tinubu was on a three-week vacation in Europe and Vice President Kashim Shettima had briefly traveled to Angola for an African Union summit, prompting similar informal remarks among some social media users.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Legally, however, this terminology contradicts the 1999 Constitution (as amended). Under Section 145, temporary presidential absences require a written declaration to the National Assembly, empowering the Vice President—not the Senate President—to step in. Section 146 only appoints the Senate President if both the presidency and vice presidency are entirely vacant. When contacted regarding the incident, the State Commissioner for Information, Aniekan Umanah, initially denied the occurrence before attributing the phrasing to an unauthorized social media administrative error.
