The All Progressives Congress (APC) has alleged moves by Rivers State Governor-elect, Chief Ezebunwo Nyesom Wike, to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and join its fold, warning the governor-elect to remain in his political party. Chief Ezebunwo Nyesom Wike The APC, in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Thursday, and signed by its State Publicity Secretary, Chris Finebone, condemned the planned move, saying Wike’s aim is to obtain the cover of it and avoid dethronement by the nation’s judiciary. Finebone said, “Wike’s latest move comes as no surprise to those who know his antecedents. Having back stabbed his mentors like former Senator John Mbata in the past and more recently Governor Rotimi Amaechi, he would only be living true to the unreliable ally that he has grown to be. “Wike’s history is replete with sabotage and dual personality often unstable among peers. So, we are not surprised at his latest moves to dump PDP to join APC. Such a move portrays him as unstable ...

Despite his image as a strong military general, there are some people who can make the president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, laugh. Getting Buhari to laugh comes easy to Atiku Abubakar, the ex-vice president of Nigeria. The former vice president  visited the president-elect on private matters . However, he spoke with journalists about the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s zoning of the key official positions. Meanwhile, Buhari unveiled the transition committee for a smooth handover on May 29. To prove Atiku’s high spirits when he visited Buhari at the Defence House in Abuja, the photographic evidence of his prowess can be seen below. It should be noted that during the intense presidential campaign, Buhari was several times spotted enjoying a good laugh. Laughter, they say is a powerful antidote to stress, pain, and conflict and Buhari is taking full advantage of this medicine.

Leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, may have realized that some blessings, despite their salacious nature come with daunting challenges as they move to take one of the first major decisions since its victory against the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the just concluded national elections. The decision to allocate positions to different geopolitical zones may be one of the party’s first litmus test. Most analysts have avowed that care must be taken as political stakeholders are waiting on the crossroad for the party’s first unbiased decision. Many are of the views that an equitable and unbiased zoning will further boost Nigerians’ confidence on the APC led government. Geopolitical struggle Reports available to DAILY POST have suggested infighting among party stalwarts from different geopolitical zones who are interested in having some juicy positions allocated to their zones. North Central As the zoning issue takes the central stage, political bigwi...

Barely one month to the end of the President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, a stage appears set for a showdown between the President-Elect, Muhammadu Buhari and the vast majority of Nigerians. This followed the passage of the 2015 budget of N4.493tr, with allocation for subsidy on petrol conspicuously missing. The development, which has already started generating tension across the country, is largely seen as a landmine on the way of the incoming administration. The national budget, which was earlier passed by the House of Representatives last week, was N51bn higher than the N4.425tr submitted to both chambers of the National Assembly by the federal government. This is also coming barely few days after Buhari’s ally and former petroleum minister, Professor Tam David-West gave Nigerians hope by declaring that the incoming president could reduce petrol pump price for as low as N40 per litre. However, the senate approval of the budget on Tuesday, has confirmed the ...

Leave here now!” A surprised Mu’azu who still making efforts to calm frayed nerves was pushed out by the...
