“‘He Has Nobody Left!’ Angry Yilwatda Rubbishes Peter Obi, Swears South-South Is Now Fully APC”.
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, has asserted that the entire South-South geopolitical zone, along with key Northern Christian strongholds, have completely withdrawn their support from Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Yilwatda made this declaration on Monday during an appearance on Channels Television’s flagship political program, Politics Today. According to the APC chieftain, the heavy backing Peter Obi enjoyed in states like Plateau, Nasarawa, and other parts of the North during the last general election was driven strictly by temporary religious sentiments rather than sustainable political alignment.
“Are those sentiments still there? The answer is no,” Yilwatda stated, arguing that the political landscape has fundamentally shifted in favor of President Bola Tinubu.
To back up his claim of a nationwide ruling party takeover, the national chairman pointed to the APC’s explosive legislative expansion:
“In 2023 how many governors were in APC, how many do we have now?… Then we had over 50 senators, now we have over 90 senators. The South-South was purely with PDP and Obi, but today, the entire South-South is now with Tinubu.”

APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda has dismissed the political relevance of the Labour Party and PDP in the South-South, claiming President Bola Tinubu now holds absolute control over the region.
Speaking on Channels TV, Yilwatda argued that Peter Obi’s surprising 2023 performance in Northern Christian communities like Plateau and Nasarawa was merely a flash in the pan fueled by religious emotions. He insisted those sentiments have cleared, leaving governors and federal lawmakers from those territories firmly aligned with the State House.
Boasting of the ruling party’s growth from just over 50 senators to a commanding supermajority of over 90 senators, the party boss declared that the entire opposition apparatus in the Niger Delta has collapsed into the APC network ahead of future electoral cycles.

The battle lines for the 2027 general elections are being redrawn early, as APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda maps out what he views as the complete breakdown of opposition strongholds in Nigeria.
Appearing on Politics Today, Yilwatda laid out a statistical argument to show that the factors that enabled the rise of the ‘Obidient’ movement in 2023 have faded.
He broken down the shift into two primary observations:
-
The Death of Faith-Based Voting: Yilwatda boldly noted that Christian communities in the North who used religious sentiment to vote for the Labour Party have completely repositioned themselves behind President Bola Tinubu.
-
The South-South Sweep: He noted that a region once dominated exclusively by the PDP and cross-carpeting third parties is now functionally consolidated under the ruling party, evidenced by a dramatic jump from 50 to over 90 APC senators nationwide.
The lawmaker representing Abia North Senatorial District, Orji Uzor Kalu, has denied allegations linking him to the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Kalu made the clarification during an interview on Arise Television, where he was asked about his alleged connections with the CIA and Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad.
The senator explained that his previous involvement in arms trading brought him into contact with both organisations, adding that they monitored his activities because of his business dealings.
He, however, insisted that knowing individuals within the agencies did not mean he worked for them or served as an intelligence operative.
He said, “Even if I know people there, I mean, I’m not working for them. I’m not an agent. Because I was trading in arms, I must know the two organisations very well. They were keeping an eye on me because I was selling arms.”
The former Abia State governor also dismissed suggestions that prominent personalities had described him as an international agent.
According to him, such descriptions do not define his identity, insisting that he knows who he is and makes efforts to maintain his relationships.
Kalu said, “Anybody can say anything. On some occasions, even President Obasanjo himself has called me an international agent. I mean, those things don’t remove anything from my skin because I know myself. I work hard to keep friendships.”
Mossad, officially known as the Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations, is Israel’s national intelligence agency.
Nigerian rapper Keshinro Ololade, popularly known as Lil Kesh, has cautioned women whose physical appearance could tempt him as he tries to maintain his decision to abstain from sexual activities.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The singer made this known in a video shared on his Instagram page, where he spoke about his commitment to celibacy and his efforts to remain focused.
In the video, Lil Kesh specifically addressed women who regularly visit the gym, drawing attention to their body shapes and physical features, which he admitted he finds tempting.
He appealed to such women to tone down their seductive appearances and movements around him, explaining that he was determined to maintain his celibate lifestyle.
The rapper also disclosed that he had abstained from sex for seven years.
He said, “Hello, if you know you are a gym girly and your back is looking like this, please, I’m gonna need you to tone it down. I have been celibate for 7 years; I am trying to focus; don’t konjibait me.”
In a related development, Nigerian content creator Adebayo Ridwan, popularly known as Isbae U, has opened up about the difficult period he experienced following the controversy surrounding him in 2022.
During an interview with Morayo Afolabi Brown, Isbae U revealed that the backlash was so severe that he began questioning whether his career had come to an end.
He explained that the situation became particularly difficult because people who had previously supported and praised his work began making negative comments about him.
The skit maker also disclosed that he sought advice from fellow content creator Mr Macaroni during the period.
According to him, he asked whether the controversy marked the end of his career, as he was uncertain about what the future held following the backlash.
Isbae U recalled that the experience taught him how quickly public perception can change when someone becomes embroiled in controversy.
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has reiterated his commitment to restoring petrol subsidy if elected president in the 2027 general election.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The former Vice-President made the pledge in a post shared on his X handle on Monday, alongside a campaign video outlining his position on the policy.
“My position stands! I will restore subsidy to make life easier and more affordable for Nigerians,” Atiku wrote.
The video compared petrol prices in Nigeria with those in other oil-producing countries, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Libya, Iran and Venezuela, arguing that citizens in those nations pay significantly less for the product.
According to the video, Atiku’s proposed subsidy arrangement would apply only to petrol refined locally, excluding imported products. The policy would also remain in place until domestic refineries become self-sustaining.
Atiku was further quoted in the clip as saying, “My position has not changed and will not change. I will restore it.”
President Bola Tinubu announced the removal of the petrol subsidy during his inauguration speech in May 2023. His administration subsequently promised to channel the savings from the policy into infrastructure development and social services.
Atiku has made the reversal of the subsidy removal a major part of his 2027 campaign agenda. Other promises include reopening Nigeria’s land borders and addressing insecurity.
He reiterated these commitments during the ADC presidential campaign flag-off rally in Sokoto on November 4.
The former Vice-President secured the ADC presidential ticket in May, marking his seventh attempt to become Nigeria’s president.
However, the Federal High Court in Abuja nullified his candidacy on November 5, alongside decisions taken by the party’s David Mark-led leadership.
The ADC has since appealed the judgment and is seeking a stay of execution.
The presidential election is scheduled for January 16, 2027, while governorship and State House of Assembly elections are slated for February 6, 2027.
