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.
Healthcare services across Katsina State face imminent disruption starting September 8, 2026, as the Assembly of Healthcare Professionals of Nigeria (AHAPN) declares a seven-day warning strike. The industrial action is set to kick off at midnight following the expiration of a 21-day ultimatum given to the state government, which concluded without a resolution regarding longstanding professional and welfare demands. Participating bodies include the Medical and Health Workers’ Union of Nigeria (MHWUN), the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives (NANNM), and the Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists of Nigeria (AMLSN).....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to AHAPN State Chairman Ibrahim Balange, the strike comes after years of unproductive dialogues and unfulfilled government promises despite official acknowledgment of their grievances. The coalition has cautioned that failure by the state government to address these demands before the warning period lapses could trigger an indefinite total shutdown. Appealing for public understanding, the association placed the responsibility for any resulting service disruptions squarely on the government, emphasizing that all amicable channels have been thoroughly exhausted.

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.
