• Wike Rebukes Buratai for Comment on Clash With Naval Officer.

    FCT Minister Nyesom Wike on Thursday criticised former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Yusuf Buratai (rtd), accusing him of misinterpreting the altercation he had last Tuesday with naval officers led by Lt. A.M. Yerima.

    Wike questioned Buratai’s claim that his conduct amounted to a national security threat and a slight on President Bola Tinubu. 

    Addressing reporters at his Life Camp residence, he faulted the former Army chief for asking him to apologise to Lt. Yerima, insisting Buratai had no authority to lecture him on proper behaviour.

    He also blamed Yerima for escalating the confrontation over a disputed plot in the Gaduwa District, which the FCT Administration says was illegally acquired by former Naval Chief of Staff Vice Admiral Awwal Gambo. Wike accused the officer of obeying an unlawful directive.

    Wike said: “I read what one former Chief of Army Staff wrote. He cannot tell me of decency and he can’t teach me. This was the same man who (allegedly) directed his GOC to rig election, my election in 2019. He couldn’t rig me. He lost.

    He told his GOC to kill me and I could not be killed. He became an agent in APC primaries to one of APC’s presidential aspirants. Look at the rank of a polling agent. He is the one commenting that the minister did this and that. I have never seen people like this.

    I have no regrets for my political opponents. I will continue to make them have sleepless nights. Whether you are in PDP, whether you are in APC, whether you are in ADC, it is not my business.

    I have no regrets supporting President Tinubu and I have never hidden my intention and I will continue to do what is right. So, if you like to write anything you want to write, as far as I know, I am standing by the side of the law. If you like, bring every ethnicity coloration, it is your business”.

    He urged all officials, regardless of status, to respect the rule of law at all times.

  • Surprise Reunion in Kano! — Governor Abba Yusuf and Ex-Governor Ganduje Meet for the First Time Since 2023 Election

    In a rare and unexpected encounter, Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and his predecessor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, came face-to-face on Tuesday for the first time since the fiercely contested 2023 gubernatorial election.

    According to DAILY POST, the meeting occurred at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport, marking nearly two years since the political rivals last crossed paths.

    Witnesses described the moment as cordial and surprisingly friendly, as both men exchanged pleasantries despite their history of political tension.

    Ganduje, who currently serves as the Chairman of the Board of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), was reportedly in Kano for an inspection visit, while Governor Yusuf was preparing to board a flight to Abuja.

    Their unexpected encounter comes years after Ganduje chose not to personally hand over power to Yusuf in 2023, instead delegating the task to then Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Usman Alhaji.

    Governor Yusuf of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) had defeated Ganduje’s preferred candidate, Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in what was one of Nigeria’s most intense gubernatorial races.

    The brief exchange at the airport has since stirred public interest, with many interpreting it as a possible symbol of reconciliation or at least mutual respect between two of Kano’s most influential political figures.

    The former Abia governor noted that Soludo shares similar political and developmental ideologies with leading figures in the APC, adding that his policies and governance style in Anambra align closely with the federal government’s reform agenda.

    “Soludo is a progressive. He will come to APC. In fact, it is confirmed that he will join APC. He has no other alternative,” Kalu confidently stated.

    According to him, the discussions are part of a broader effort to strengthen cooperation and unity within the South East, as regional leaders seek greater participation in national decision-making.

    Kalu also praised Soludo’s track record in public service and economic planning, describing him as a technocrat capable of fostering partnerships across party lines.

    The senator added that the APC remains open to visionary leaders from all parts of Nigeria who share its development-driven philosophy and are willing to contribute to good governance.

  • Senator Orji Kalu Backs Trump’s Statement on Killings in Nigeria, Calls for Urgent National Action

    Senator Orji Uzor Kalu (APC, Abia North), Chairman of the Senate Committee on the South East Development Commission (SEDC), has supported former U.S. President Donald Trump’s comments on the killings in Nigeria, describing them as “factual and deeply concerning.”

    Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, Kalu said the scale of violence across the country demands urgent and coordinated action from all levels of government, dismissing claims that such reports were exaggerated or biased.

    “Nigerians are being killed, whether they are Christians or Muslims,” he stated. “The violence affects everyone, and it’s time to act decisively.”


    The senator identified extremist and militant groups as major perpetrators of the violence, warning that their growing influence threatens Nigeria’s national stability and unity.

    He urged the Federal Government and security agencies to intensify intelligence-driven operations and adopt strong legal and administrative measures—including sanctions, blacklisting, and targeted crackdowns—to disrupt extremist networks and stop militants from exploiting local grievances.

    While acknowledging international concern over the crisis, Kalu stressed that security remains Nigeria’s responsibility, adding that foreign warnings should inspire domestic resolve.

    “External partners can advise, but it’s up to us as Nigerians to restore peace and protect our people,” he said.


    Kalu called for unity across religious and ethnic lines, emphasizing that lasting peace will come only when Nigerians stand together against those sowing division and bloodshed.

  • NewsAmerica sneezes, Nigeria catches fever – Ejiofor reveals why Trump’s move angers politicians.

    Social critic and legal practitioner, Sir Ifeanyi Ejiofor says Nigerian politicians are angry over President Donald Trump’s decision to wipe out terrorists from the country mainly for self-preservation.

    In a statement posted on his official Facebook page on Saturday, the lawyer said “many people have turned insecurity into a thriving enterprise”.

    He opined that those “crying foul” since Trump designated Nigeria as Country of Particular Concerns and threatened military action over alleged Christian genocide “are simply afraid of losing their political bargaining chip”.

    He said, “America sneezes and Nigeria catches a fever. When Donald Trump recently declared his intention to “wipe out the monsters committing genocide against Christians in Nigeria”, you could almost hear the political class jump in unison.

    “Suddenly, we became born-again defenders of sovereignty, those that failed to protect children in Chibok, girls in Dapchi, or farmers in Benue. How convenient!

    “Let’s be clear: the noise isn’t about patriotism. It’s about self-preservation. Too many people have turned insecurity into a thriving enterprise: those who negotiate ransoms, those who supply arms, those who collect “security votes” without securing anything, and those who profit politically from fear”.

    According to the lawyer, the “prospect of a foreign force dismantling this network terrifies them, not because they love Nigeria, but because it would collapse their cash cow.

    “The world knew the scale of our tragedy long before any single politician made headlines. Human-rights organisations and investigators have documented widespread atrocities and urged accountability. Thousands of lives have been lost, millions displaced, and entire communities erased from maps. The evidence is on every Nigerian lip, every burnt village, and every weeping IDP camp.

  • President Tinubu assures U.S. of Nigeria’s victory over terrorism.

    President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his government’s commitment to defeating terrorism in Nigeria, assuring the United States of continued cooperation despite ongoing political and security challenges.

    Speaking at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Thursday, Tinubu emphasized that his administration is fully engaging with international partners to strengthen national security and economic stability. His remarks followed concerns raised by U.S. President Donald Trump over Nigeria’s security situation.

    The President made the statement shortly after swearing in two new ministers — Dr. Kingsley Tochukwu Udeh from Enugu State and Dr. Bernard Mohammed Doro from Plateau State. Dr. Udeh, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and former Enugu State Attorney General, replaced Uche Nnaji, who resigned amid a certificate scandal. Doro took over from Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, now the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

  • APC was in White House in 2024 seeking help over Christian genocide – Adamu Garba backs Trump.

    Former presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Adamu Garba, has admitted that there is an ongoing genocide in the country.

    The APC chieftain spoke in an interview on Trust TV, while reacting to the recent move by the US President, Donald Trump, who designated Nigeria as Country of Particular Concerns over persecution of Christians.

    Countering those antagonizing President Trump’s decision to take out the perpetrators of the alleged massacre, Adamu recalled that the APC as an opposition party in 2024, sought help from the US military over the same killing of Christians.

    He argued that the United Nations had empowered the US to help in fighting terrorism worldwide.

    He said, “When you look at the damage, the total number of the people that have been killed over time in Nigeria, they are killed defenseless in villages and even in their homes, what can you call it? it? It’s nothing, but pure genocide.

    “In 2014, the opposition party then, the APC were in the White House seeking for the same help on the same Christian genocide at the fall out of the Chibok girls.

    “It was a United Nations convention on counter-terrorism that empowered the United States to become the global vocal point in fighting against terrorism, so wherever a word terrorism is defined, the US has the right to protect. They call it responsibility to protect. They call it Responsibility to Protect, R to P”.

  • Political Earthquake in Bayelsa: Governor Diri Dumps PDP for APC, Cites Tinubu’s “Love for Ijaw People”

    Bayelsa’s political landscape has witnessed a stunning shift as Governor Douye Diri officially announced his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) — a move that has seen most members of the State House of Assembly follow his lead.

    The Governor explained that his decision was not driven by personal ambition but by a desire to align Bayelsa State with the federal government for accelerated development and better opportunities for the people.

    Speaking at the defection ceremony, Diri praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration for its “unprecedented commitment” to the Niger Delta’s development, describing it as proof of the President’s affection for the Ijaw nation.

    “Government has shown us the will and the direction that they love the Ijaw people and Bayelsa State,” Diri declared during a live broadcast on Channels Television.


    He highlighted three major developmental milestones achieved through federal partnership as justification for his defection:

    1. Lagos–Calabar Coastal Road: A long-awaited project now actively pursued under President Tinubu, described by Diri as “the economic lifeline of the Ijaw people.”


    2. Nembe–Brass Road Project: Once stalled, but revived after Tinubu’s swift approval. “When I met the President, he said, ‘Governor, it is done,’ and within days, contractors were on site,” Diri recounted.


    3. ₦4 Billion Tax Waiver: Granted for the importation of 60-megawatt gas turbines to provide Bayelsa with 24-hour independent power supply, a breakthrough after years of darkness due to grid sabotage.

    Diri concluded that these “acts of grace” proved Tinubu’s genuine commitment to Bayelsa’s progress, calling his move to the APC “a necessary alignment for the future prosperity of our people.”

  • “When We Ask for ₦1, Give Us ₦5!” — Wike Tells Senate as He Reacts to Gov. Diri’s Defection to APC

    The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has stirred fresh political waves after telling the Senate to “increase the FCT budget” while simultaneously addressing the defection of Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

    Speaking during an interview on Channels Television on Monday, Wike revealed that Diri — who officially joined the APC earlier that day — had previously accused him of working with the APC to destroy the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

    “When Diri was in the PDP, he said I was working for the APC to destroy the party,” Wike recounted.
    “Now that he has joined the APC, he should come and tell me, ‘Thank you, master, for opening my eyes to see the light.’”


    Wike mocked Diri’s move as hypocritical, noting that the Bayelsa governor had once branded others “undertakers” attempting to bury the PDP — yet has now joined the same party he once criticized.

    The former Rivers State governor highlighted his long-standing loyalty to the PDP, reminding Nigerians that he has been a “bona fide member since 1998.”

    “When I was governor under Buhari’s administration, everything was done to kill PDP, but I fought back. Leadership is key. Everyone wants to make excuses, but the man they claim is killing PDP is still in the PDP,” Wike said.


    The fiery minister also used the opportunity to press the National Assembly to expand the FCT budget, boldly declaring:

    “When we ask for ₦1, give us ₦5!”


    Wike’s comment has since sparked discussions about his assertive leadership style, his complicated relationship with the PDP, and his growing influence in national politics.

  • Insecurity Did Not Start With Tinubu’s Govt – Peter Obi Breaks Silence On U.S. Designation.

    Former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, has expressed grave concern over the recent designation of Nigeria as a ‘Country of Particular Concern’ (CPC) by the United States.

    US President Donald Trump had recently designated Nigeria a CPC, warning that he could send the military to Nigeria if the alleged killing of Christians doesn’t end.

    Reacting in a statement on Monday, Peter Obi admitted that this insecurity did not start with Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.

    However, he blamed the present administration for lacking competence, commitment, prudent use of resources, patriotism and passion.

    His statement reads: “The recent pronouncement by the US government declaring Nigeria a ‘Country of Particular Concern’ (CPC) and indicating possible military action should give every well-meaning Nigerian serious concern.

    “There is no doubt that Nigeria is experiencing an unprecedented level of insecurity with attendant carnage and the most shocking loss of lives and property. According to Amnesty International, over 10,000 people have been killed in Nigeria since May 2023 and as I have repeatedly lamented, the unwarranted and unprovoked killing of Nigerians is most condemnable, and all efforts must be made to bring it to a stop. It is equally important to state that the terrible situation is significantly avoidable with competent leadership and governance.

    “While the insecurity did not start with the present government, what is most unfortunate is the lack and absence of competence, commitment, prudent use of resources, patriotism and passion on the part of APC APC-led government/leaders to effectively govern, galvanise and lead Nigeria where no one is unwarrantedly oppressed and killed, a Nation where peace, truth and justice reign!

    “As democracies, Nigeria and the US have long been strategic partners committed to regional peace and security. That relationship should not falter. The present situation calls for constructive diplomatic and any other plausible engagement by both nations aimed at addressing the prevailing and disturbing security concerns. Both countries must work in concert and expeditiously towards that purpose

  • Bayelsa in Political Turmoil as Diri Joins APC, Deputy Governor Faces Impeachment.

    Bayelsa State Deputy Governor, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, is facing impeachment by the State House of Assembly following Governor Douye Diri’s formal defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC) today.

    The crisis erupted after Ewhrudjakpo refused to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) despite Diri’s resignation from the party on October 15. The House of Assembly, reportedly acting under the governor’s influence, has since commenced impeachment proceedings against the deputy governor.

    In a swift move to save his position, Ewhrudjakpo filed a suit at the Federal High Court in Abuja last week, seeking an injunction to halt the process. Speaking during the state’s 14th annual thanksgiving service on Sunday, Diri defended his decision to join the APC, describing it as a step taken “in the best interest of Bayelsa.”

    He said, “Somebody had to make the decision, and I did it for the good of the state. You may not understand now, but time will tell.” The governor emphasized that his administration’s priority remains peace, development, and continuity of governance.

    Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, hailed Diri’s defection as a strategic move to align Bayelsa with the federal government, warning against acts of disloyalty a veiled reference to Ewhrudjakpo’s insistence on staying with the PDP.

    Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, represented by his Senior Policy Adviser, Rt. Hon. Funkekeme Solomon, urged Bayelsans to maintain unity for continued progress, while NDDC Managing Director, Dr. Samuel Ogbuku, praised Diri’s “visible developmental achievements,” describing him as “a blessing to the state.”

  • APC Slams Promoters Of Christian Genocide Claims In Nigeria.

    The Lagos Chapter of the All Progressives Congress has described the members of the opposition political party as “politically-frustrated loudspeakers” for their supposed involvement in President Trump’s recent declaration of Nigeria as a “country of particular concern.”

    This was disclosed in a statement signed by Seye Oladejo, the chapter’s spokesperson, obtained by TVC on Sunday.

    According to the statement, the chapter condemns individuals or groups who amplify the voice or statement encouraging foreign military intervention, describing them as “traitors to the flag and enemies of the Republic.”

    The statement reads, “The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is compelled to address a dangerous and disgraceful trend perpetuated by a faction of politically-frustrated loudspeakers who believe that because they failed woefully at the ballot box, Nigeria must burn for their ego to breathe.

    “To even daydream about a United States invasion of Nigeria is not only delusional – it is the height of treachery and emotional bankruptcy. This is what happens when desperation meets intellectual emptiness: people begin to flirt with national suicide.”

  • Court sacks House of Reps Member for defecting from PDP to APC.

    The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has removed Hon. Abubakar Suleiman Gummi from his seat in the House of Representatives for defecting from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

    Gummi, who represents Gummi/Bukkuyum Federal Constituency of Zamfara State, was sacked on Thursday by Justice Obiora Egwuatu, who also directed the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, to stop recognising him as a member of the lower chamber.

    In his judgment, Justice Egwuatu ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct a fresh election within 30 days to fill the vacant seat. The certified true copy of the judgment was sighted on Friday.

    The suit, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1803/2024, was filed by the PDP and its Zamfara State Chairman, Jamilu Jibomagayaki. The plaintiffs, represented by Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Ibrahim Bawa, contended that Gummi’s defection violated Section 68(1)(g) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), since there was no division in the PDP at the time he left the party.

    They asked the court to declare Gummi’s defection unconstitutional and to compel the Speaker to declare his seat vacant.

    In his defence, Gummi argued through his counsel that his defection was necessitated by internal crises within the PDP both at the national and state levels, which, he claimed, made it impossible for him to effectively represent his constituents.

    Justice Egwuatu, however, dismissed the lawmaker’s argument, holding that the evidence before the court did not establish any division within the PDP capable of justifying defection.

    In a scathing remark, the judge condemned what he described as the “growing culture of political prostitution” among elected officials who switch parties without relinquishing the mandate given to them by voters.

  • Cheerful-looking Enugu Reps dump LP, PDP for APC.

    The entire Enugu State caucus in the House of Representatives has officially defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC). 

    Speaker Tajudeen Abbas announced the move during Thursday’s plenary after reading their resignation letters from the Labour Party (LP) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). 

    Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, was present during the announcement.

    The lawmakers cited unresolved internal crises within their former parties as the reason for their exit. After the 2023 elections, LP held seven of the eight House seats in Enugu, while the PDP had one. With this defection, the APC now controls all Enugu seats in the House.

    Speaking on behalf of the group, Nnolim Nnaji (Nkanu East/Nkanu West) said the lawmakers chose to align with Governor Mbah’s development agenda and to connect Enugu more closely with the federal government.

    He said their decision was aimed at securing more projects, jobs, infrastructure, and empowerment opportunities for Enugu communities, adding that the move was strategic and deliberate.

    Other lawmakers who defected include Martins Oke, Anayo Onwuegbu, Nnamdi Agbo, and Mark Obetta. In a separate development, Daniel Asama (Bassa/Jos North) also left LP for the APC.
