"BEWARE OF MILITARY TAKEOVER"- BODE GEORGE WARNS TINUBU.

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, has warned President Bola Tinubu against actions that could trigger a military takeover in Nigeria.


George gave the warning while speaking to journalists on Monday after being blocked by police officers from entering the PDP National Secretariat in Abuja.

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that security lockdown disrupted the party’s scheduled National Executive Committee (NEC) and Board of Trustees (BoT) meetings.

“It’s strikingly annoying. This is our property. Was there any court order to say we will not hold our meeting in our office? What is going on? I was a young man in 1962 when it all started in the South West. We must avoid that madness. What is it? Can’t we sit and talk? What is the essence of democracy?” George said.

The PDP leader referenced the 1962 Western Region crisis, where internal party conflicts led to the declaration of a state of emergency and a federal government takeover of the Western Region—an event that marked the beginning of political instability in the country.

“Nigerians are watching, you came to our office, surrounded by police because we want to have a meeting? You want to turn us to North Korea or turn this country to Russia? We will not allow it, Nigerians will not allow it,” he added.

Monday morning saw a heavy police presence at the PDP headquarters in Wadata Plaza, Abuja. Officers barricaded the entrance and prevented party leaders, staff, and BoT members from accessing the NEC hall.

The PDP later relocated its BoT meeting to an alternative venue.

Just in: NEC affirmed Sam Anyanwu as PDP National Secretary Damagum.

The Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ambassador Umar Damagum, has announced that the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) has officially affirmed Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the PDP National Secretary.

Damagum made the disclosure on Monday while addressing journalists shortly after the NEC meeting held at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja.

Fubara, Wike, Amaewhule Reunite Publicly After Tinubu-Brokered Peace Talks

Rivers State’s suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara, FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, and suspended State Assembly Speaker Martin Amaewhule made a rare joint public appearance at a funeral in Rumueprikom, just two days after President Bola Tinubu hosted peace talks in Abuja aimed at resolving their nearly two-year-long political rift.

The gathering, which took place in Wike’s hometown, comes after months of tension that previously led to a state of emergency declaration in the state. Though no political statements were made, the event signals possible progress toward reconciliation.

Prominent political figures, including Senators Allwell Onyesoh, George Sekibo, and Olaka Nwogu, were also in attendance, alongside other top leaders from the PDP and APC.

Their shared presence has reignited hopes that the prolonged political crisis may finally be drawing to a close.

"HE'S SMARTER THAN THEM ALL, THAT'S WHY HE WILL STILL WIN"- VERYDARKMAN PREDICTS WINNER OF 2027 POLL, SPARKS OUTRAGE.

Controversial Nigerian activist and influencer, VeryDarkMan (VDM), has stirred the political hornet's nest with his bold take on the 2027 presidential elections.

He declared that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains unbeatable and smarter than any political rival, including former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

In a now-viral video, VDM insisted that neither Peter Obi of the Labour Party nor Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has the will or political firepower to take on the incumbent president.

VDMM stated: “Tinubu is smart, but you people underestimate him, and that is the problem. The other parties are not desperate enough. They can’t risk it all As a matter of fact, President Bola Tinubu is the greatest politician in this country. Forget it, even over Obasanjo. That Jagaban they call him—don’t play.”

While maintaining that his analysis isn’t an endorsement, the outspoken critic claimed Nigerians are too emotionally driven to admit Tinubu’s political brilliance.

He stated: “This is not support for him, but the best way to beat an enemy is to understand and acknowledge his strength. Most of his opponents won’t admit he’s smart.

But he is. That’s why they’ll keep losing.” He added that both Atiku and Obi should “rest” until 2031, hinting that even by then, their chances remain slim if they continue underestimating Tinubu. “Peter Obi and Atiku, just go and rest. Maybe come back in 2031, and even that one no sure.”

Senate confirms Tinubu’s nominees for boards of four Rivers agencies.

The Senate on Wednesday confirmed President Bola Tinubu’s nominees for key positions across four agencies in Rivers State.

The confirmation followed the presentation of the screening report by the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Emergency Rule in Rivers State, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele (APC–Ekiti), during plenary.

Bamidele noted that all screened nominees demonstrated knowledge relevant to their prospective roles, met the constitutional requirements, and passed security checks. No petitions were filed against them.

However, Senators Abdul Ningi (PDP–Bauchi), Ali Ndume (APC–Borno), and Abba Moro (PDP–Benue) raised concerns over the nomination of Dr. Michael Odey—a native of Cross River State—as RSIEC Chairman. They argued that Rivers State has capable indigenes suitable for such a sensitive role.

Ndume urged caution, stating, “The Senate must be guided beyond just the constitution; it must also consider perception and representation.

NIGERIAN GOVERNOR STRIPS ATIKU, OTHERS OF OFFICIAL TITLE.

Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has stripped former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of his revered traditional title of Waziri Adamawa, in a directive that also affects other prominent titleholders.

Although officially attributed to non-indigeneship, the decision is widely perceived as stemming from an underlying rift between the two political figures.

Atiku’s removal is widely perceived as a calculated move to weaken his political influence in the state.

The move was communicated in a circular dated June 20, 2025, signed by Mrs. Adama Felicity Mamman, Permanent Secretary, Department of Chieftaincy Affairs, under the Ministry for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs.

“Following the creation of new Chiefdoms in the state by the Executive Governor of Adamawa State, Rt. Hon. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, I am directed to inform you that all Kingmakers and Council members in the state must be indigene of their Chiefdoms,” the circular stated.

“E.g., all Kingmakers and Council members from Adamawa Emirate Council must be indigene of Yola South, Yola North, Girei, Mayo-Belwa, Song and Zumo Districts; while those of Mubi Emirate Council must be indigene of Mubi North, Mubi South vis-à-vis all Emirates/Traditional councils in the state.”

The directive effectively disqualifies Atiku Abubakar, a native of Jada Local Government Area under the Ganye Chiefdom, from holding a title within the Adamawa Emirate Council, where the Waziri title belongs.

The Waziri Adamawa is traditionally regarded as the second most senior title in the Adamawa Emirate, directly subordinate to the Lamido of Adamawa.

Following the 2023 elections where both Atiku and Fintiri contested under the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) —Atiku for President and Fintiri for Governor—their alliance has since fractured.

Atiku’s recent involvement in opposition talks with Aishatu Binani has been cited by many as confirming the alleged rift between the two.

Breaking: INEC admits glitch in results transmission as Court Reserves Judgement In Atiku’s Petition Against Tinubu, electoral body.

The Independent National Electoral Commission INEC has told the Presidential Election Petition Court that there was a glitch in the transmission of results to its result viewing portal I-Rev on February 25, 2023, the day the Presidential election held.

It however submitted that the glitch was temporary and lasted just about four hours and fifty minutes

This was part of the final arguments put forward by INEC through its lawyer Abubakar Mahmoud on Tuesday as the parties adopted their written addresses to the petition filed by Atiku Abubakar and the PDP.

According to INEC, the fact that INEC deployed the BVAS technology was evidence of its good intention to make the elections credible


The INEC lawyer argued that contrary to claims by the Petitioner, the glitch was not a deliberate human interference to manipulate results, as even the petitioners’ witnesses had admitted during cross-examination that the process was smooth

On whether the declared winner won the requisite number of votes in the FCT, INEC argued that it will be illogical and absurd to interpret the constitution to make winning the FCT mandatory, since it would suggest that voters in the FCT have special status over and above other states.

"TINUBU WILL SECURE 99.9% OF THE VOTES IN 2027"- AKPABIO DECLARES.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio on Saturday declared that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will secure an overwhelming majority—99.9%—of the votes in the 2027 presidential election.

Akpabio made the statement during a grand reception held in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, to formally welcome Governor Umo Eno into the ranks of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Governor Eno recently defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing unresolved leadership crises within the opposition party.

While addressing party faithful and dignitaries at the event, Akpabio expressed optimism over the political future of both the APC and its key stakeholders, including President Tinubu and Governor Eno.

“I see you struggled a bit particularly to become the governor, but with my presence here today and all my people, Your Excellency, things have turned around,” Akpabio said.

“I see you becoming the first re-elected governor in 2027. So, for you, I can see everything turning around for your good and that of APC. I see everything turning around for Umo Eno and Tinubu in 2027,” he added.

The Senate President went on to predict an overwhelming landslide for Tinubu in 2027, claiming he would get 99.9% of the total votes

President Tinubu, who emerged victorious in the 2023 presidential election, secured 8.79 million votes—approximately 36.6% of the total votes cast—defeating his closest rivals, Atiku Abubakar of the PDP and Peter Obi of the Labour Party. His win was widely contested, with opposition candidates challenging the results in court before the Supreme Court upheld Tinubu’s victory.

APC chieftain begs Tinubu to intervene in Osun LG fresh crisis.

Mr Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to intervene in the brewing crisis in the state over the Court of Appeal ruling on the conduct of the council election.
Oyintiloye, who made the plea in a chat with newsmen on Sunday in Osogbo, said that the judgment of the Court of Appeal, Akure Division, on Friday had started generating tension in the state.
The APC chieftain said although the court struck out a request by APC to relist its appeal against the 2022 Federal High Court ruling nullifying the local government elections, the court did not nullify the judgment of Feb. 10, which reinstated the chairmen and councillors.
Oyintiloye, a former lawmaker, said that the misinterpretation given of the ruling by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the state government may result in a crisis in all the 30 local government areas if not quickly checked.

PDP undergoing strategic rebuilding, says South-East vice chair.
The National Vice Chairman (South East) of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chidiebere Goodluck, says the party is undergoing a strategic, deliberate rebuilding process and will bounce back stronger.

Chidiebere Goodluck stated this in Umuahia on Friday while on an official visit to a South East Zonal meeting held in Umuahia, stating, “PDP is undergoing a strategic and deliberate process of rebuilding – one that will engage all loyal members, reinvigorate our structures and restore confidence among our people”.

He said, “Yes, we have had our fair share of challenges – political shocks, internal discord, and electoral disappointments. But like a seasoned vessel weathering a storm, we have not sunk.

“The light at the end of the tunnel is not only visible – it glows brighter with each passing day.

I definitely won’t join APC. I cannot sit in a room where one man will dictate to able bodied adults who have worked all their lives and say that he is the Lord of the manor
