Governors’ Exodus Imminent? APC Drops Bombshell on New Defections”

Published

on

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has revealed that the recent wave of defections into its fold is only the beginning, hinting that more state governors will soon join the ruling party.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

APC’s National Secretary, Ajibola Basiru, made this known on Friday in Abuja during a one-day capacity-building seminar for the party’s zonal and state publicity secretaries titled “Communicating Renewed Hope – A Capacity Building Seminar for APC Zonal and State Publicity Secretaries.”

Basiru described the ongoing defections as part of a broader political realignment ahead of the 2027 general elections.

“Before now, people would say, ‘don’t blow your own trumpet,’ but if you don’t, the trumpet might get lost,” Basiru said.

He underscored the need for APC communicators to counter rising misinformation in Nigeria’s political space:

“Before the 2023 election, we witnessed the weaponisation of falsehood in politics. People would take images from war-torn countries like Somalia or Chad and tag them as scenes from Nigeria to mislead citizens. We also have former leaders with no tangible legacy lecturing us on governance while their own communities languished under poor infrastructure for years.”

Basiru also decried the exploitation of ethnic and religious sentiments in politics:

“Growing up, ethnic fault lines were not this pronounced. Unfortunately, post-2023, we’ve seen them sharpened further. Likewise, some hide under religion with dubious sanctimony, using faith as a ladder to power. These are things we must confront.”

Highlighting APC’s strength, Basiru noted:

“Today, we have 23 governors in our vault. And more will join us soon—some of them are already viable candidates. We also need to highlight the achievements of our governors, showing Nigerians that governance is about programmes and results, not just noise.”

Also speaking at the seminar, Dele Alake, Minister of Mines and Solid Minerals, praised the federal government’s economic reforms under President Bola Tinubu, likening them to laying the deep foundation of a skyscraper:

“When you dig the foundation for a skyscraper, people don’t see what you’re doing underground. But once the foundation is done and the structure begins to rise, everyone sees the progress. That is what President Tinubu has done—removing the fuel subsidy and unifying exchange rates—two monsters dragging our economy back.”

Alake explained that these bold policies have unlocked new revenue streams for the federal, state, and local governments:

“States and local governments now have more funds than before. Many that were drowning in debt have cleared their books and can focus on infrastructure and development.”

With these developments, the APC leadership believes it is laying the groundwork not only for economic transformation but also for consolidating its political dominance ahead of 2027.

‘Kwankwaso Is More Experienced Than Peter Obi’ – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Declares.

Published

on

Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.

“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.

He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”

Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.

He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.

“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.

In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.

“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
