Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has accused suspected thugs loyal to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) of orchestrating a violent attack in his home community of Effurun, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State. According to Keyamo, the incident occurred on Friday, September 18, 2026, with attackers tearing down campaign billboards erected by Tompolo’s door-to-door Campaign Organization and raiding local shops with dangerous weapons to loot goods.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Taking to his handle on Sunday, Keyamo criticized the muted public reaction, arguing that a similar incident targeting the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) would have triggered widespread outrage from the press and human rights groups. He compared the Delta attack to the recent blockade of Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi’s entourage in Benue State—an event he previously condemned—asserting that the violence in Delta was far more severe.

Furthermore, Keyamo alleged that law enforcement officers on the payroll of the attackers accompanied the rampaging thugs, emphasizing that the video evidence is clear and overwhelming. While urging his supporters to avoid taking the law into their own hands, Keyamo announced plans to formally petition the Inspector-General of Police during the week to demand a thorough investigation and prosecution of all culprits.

Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, has criticized certain Igbo politicians for using the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) as a stepping stone for political relevance only to later dismiss the party and defect elsewhere. Speaking on Saturday at the Ekwusigo Local Government Headquarters in Ozubulu after commissioning projects executed by the outgoing council chairman, Hon. Chinezie Obi, Soludo lamented that these politicians lack focus and wander from party to party.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Soludo also addressed a recurring strategic flaw among Ndigbo, noting that they habitually put all their eggs in one basket and subsequently complain of marginalization at the federal level. He argued that instead of falling for deceptions that other parties will defeat the ruling structures, Igbo politicians should focus on connecting with the federal government by supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election under the APC.

Outlining APGA’s political stance for the 2027 elections, Soludo declared that the party—guided by its progressive mantra—will back the APC for the presidency while aggressively sweeping all national, state assembly, and local government seats in Anambra State.

Former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, has criticized political leaders for failing to provide proper mentorship and character formation for the younger generation. Speaking on Sunday in Dutse, the Jigawa State capital, Lamido expressed deep concern that politicians are increasingly exploiting Nigerian youths as political laborers and machinery rather than fostering constructive, value-driven engagement.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Lamido lamented that instead of instilling values like brotherhood, empathy, and positive character, leaders are exposing youths to political activities marked by thuggery, hatred, abuse, and disrespect. He questioned why the current generation of leaders fails to provide the younger generation with the same foundational guidance they received in their youth, noting that political figures will not be around in the next 35 years.

Urging young people to look past party lines—whether in the PDP, APC, ADC, or other parties—Lamido advised them not to treat each other as enemies, emphasizing that they share common aspirations and challenges. He concluded by calling on political stakeholders to invest meaningfully in the moral, intellectual, and leadership development of young Nigerians through proper mentorship, education, and employment opportunities.
