‘The Ultimate Power Move!’ — Tinubu Set To Hand Wike Control Of FCT And Rivers Campaign Machinery

Published

on

To secure a clearly defined role ahead of the 2027 elections, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to appoint Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, as the coordinator for the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign structure in Rivers State and the FCT. Sources indicate that despite this appointment, Wike will remain a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), allowing the arrangement to leverage his political influence without formally integrating him into the APC hierarchy.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The strategy aims to resolve ongoing friction between Wike and several APC governors—such as Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma and Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq—who recently rejected Wike’s proposed “rainbow coalition.” Wike has consistently maintained that he does not need APC membership or a position in the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) to campaign for Tinubu’s re-election.

Rather than a conventional single chain of command, the emerging campaign framework will grant distinct spheres of responsibility to key figures. While former Zamfara State Governor Abdulaziz Yari will serve as Director General of the PCC, leaders like Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Deputy Senate President Jibrin Barau will operate independently to prevent clashes among top campaign drivers.

Additionally, Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development Festus Keyamo is being tipped for a prominent spokesperson role, drawing on his extensive communication experience from Tinubu’s 2023 campaign, Muhammadu Buhari’s 2019 re-election bid, and his tenure in federal ministries.

‘No Fear Of Death!’ — Defiant Miners Storm Back To Notorious Niger Mining Site Despite 37 Fatalities

Published

on

Just days after 37 suspected illegal miners tragically died from a suspected disease outbreak while in the custody of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), miners have returned to the M.I. Wushishi mining site in Minna, Niger State.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The original arrests occurred during NSCDC operations on September 15 and 16 near the Lt Gen Mohammed Inuwa Wushishi Estate, which resulted in the suspension of Niger State NSCDC commandant, Suberu Aniviye, following the deaths. Despite the tragedy and the initial scare, a visit to the site on Saturday showed no security presence, with men, women, and underage workers returning to dig earth, fill sacks, and wash materials using a nearby stream.

Miners explained that economic necessity drove them back to the site. Salisu DanMallam, a 15-year veteran miner, noted that he stayed away on Tuesday and Wednesday due to the raids, but had to return because mining is his sole livelihood and missing work severely impacts his finances. While acknowledging the tragedy, DanMallam stated he had no direct blood ties to those who died and remained uncertain of the exact casualty figures.

Another miner, 26-year-old Buhari Rabiu, recounted fleeing the site after receiving a warning about approaching NSCDC officers. Rabiu made serious allegations against the security agency, claiming he was previously assaulted, injured, hospitalized for treatment, and forced to pay bail during a prior arrest, alongside other grievances involving clashes with operatives.

Published

on

The presidency has strongly rejected claims suggesting that the United States could arrest President Bola Tinubu, dismissing the reports as politically motivated nonsense.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The controversy arose following the presidency’s confirmation that President Tinubu would not attend the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York. Addressing the public outcry on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Ademola Oshodi, the Senior Special Assistant on Foreign Affairs and Protocol to the President, clarified that there are no legal or diplomatic impediments preventing the President from traveling to the U.S.

Oshodi emphasized that the claims are a product of political posturing during an election season. To support his argument, he pointed out that the United States has historically permitted controversial foreign leaders—such as Muammar Gaddafi, Fidel Castro, and Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini—to access the United Nations. He also noted that President Tinubu has previously traveled to the U.S. without incident, dismissing the rumors entirely as “pure politics.”
