Some delegates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have called for the immediate resignation of the National chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu. This is coming following the announcement of Senate President Ahmad Lawan as the “consensus candidate” by Adamu. This, however, did not go down well with NWC members, who dismissed the statement as “your personal opinion”. Reacting, many said Adamu’s antics showed that he is working overzealously for “a small cabal including few shadowy but influential figures at the Presidency whose stock in trade is to drop the name of President Buhari, who is a worthy and highly principled leader, in pursuit of their nefarious agenda.” According to them, Adamu now constitutes a “clear and present danger to continued existence of APC as a corporate entity”, capable of subverting Nigeria’s democratic processes. “By this show of shame, Adamu has clearly shown that he is not fit to preside over APC. It is shameful that a man rehabilitated from po...

Buhari Under Fire Over Failure To Arrest Gumi photo credit: daily post The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, on Saturday, lambasted the Federal Government and all the security agencies, accusing them of complicit silence and collective failure to arrest controversial Islamic cleric and bandit-sympathiser, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, in spite of his alleged many unguarded and alleged criminal statements. HURIWA in a statement by its National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, said it is not surprising that while the state-controlled Department of State Services go after objective critics of government’s unpopular policies, especially Christians like the Bishop of Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Hassan Kukah; the late former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Obadiah Mailafia; the regime of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has spared Gumi despite his inflammatory comments. The group noted that Gumi, at a recent event in Abuja organised by the...

The United Kingdom government has finally accepted Nigeria’s classification of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) as a terrorist organisation. Following widespread killings and acts of lawlessness, the Nigerian government designated IPOB a terrorist group in 2017. But some foreign countries, including UK, which IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, holds its passport, did not acknowledge the declaration at the time. However, four days after the outlawed group beheaded an army couple, who were on their way to Imo State for their traditional wedding, UK acknowledged IPOB as a terrorist organisation, directing that it should be excluded from its asylum programme. Although the killing, which sparked nationwide outrage, was not among the atrocities of the Nnamdi Kanu-led terror group the UK listed in its policy review document, the action was taken a few days after the murder. The acts of the terrorist group listed by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), a division of the British Home Office, were the ...

Pa Ayo Adebanjo, the Afenifere leader has criticized former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan for welcoming the idea that he should contest for the next president after President Muhammadu Buhari's administration. According to him, it is unfortunate that Goodluck Jonathan allowed himself to be disgraced by saying that he is considering and consulting whether to become President or not. Pa Ayo Adebanjo's words were, "The unfortunate thing is that President Goodluck Jonathan allowed himself to be disgraced by mentioning the fact that, 'I'm considering whether to be President'; for what? Whom are you consulting?" His comments stemmed from the fact that there had been agitations for a person from the Southeast to become president in 2023, as it was the turn of the Igbos to produce a ruler for Nigeria. According to him, Afenifere, a Yoruba socio-political organization, the Middle Belt Forum, and the Pan-Niger Delta Forum are among the organizations that reitera...

Olusegun Obasanjo, the country's former president, was analysing the circumstances in the country, particularly instability across the country, when he proposed that Nigeria now requires state policing. Because of the escalating insecurity around the country, the reason isn't far-fetched. He stated that Nigeria's police force is inadequate. When President Femi Adesina's media aide appeared on channel TV, they asked him about it. Femi Adesina believes the ex-president is correct in his thinking. Photo Credit: Wikipedia He also chastised the ex-president for having the potential to restructure the country during his presidency but failing to do so, as well as for having the opportunity to establish state police during his presidency but failing to do so. Obasanjo's statement is merely a hint to the current administration about what we require. They should not see it as an attack on the government because it does not criticise it in any manner. Given the current status...
