Turaki-Led Group: Loose Your ‘Illegal Grip’ On The PDP!

It is high time that Turaki SAN matches his words and actions and STOP forthwith with the acts of “The Pot Calling Kettle Black” in order to continue fractionalizing our great Party, the PDP and at the same time, sulking and crying wolf.

For the record, below is an excerpt from Kabiru Turaki, SAN Committee’s Report to the BoT Emergency Meeting held in Transcorp Hilton on the 5th of February, 2025, in respect of various litigations for and against the position of National Secretary.

“It may be argued that appeal(s) have been filled against the respective judgements of the Court …. But in our Jurisprudence, an appeal does not operate as a stay of execution of the Judgment it is filled against. This principle of law is founded on the time honored argument that except where there are “exceptional” circumstances, a successful litigant or the beneficiary of a Judgment of the Court should not be deprived of enjoying the fruits of his/her success. Infact this principle of the law finds acceptability in all civilized nations where rule of law is practiced.” - Kabiru T. Turaki, SAN (BoT Committee Report, 3rd February, 2025).

In view of the above known fact to the Writer (Turaki); especially, as a Senior Advocate, the cogent questions are:

(i) Is the Law changed now because You MUST be the National Chairman of the PDP ?

(ii) Is this a case of “Follow my words and not my actions.”?

(iii) Are you acting a script for those who are determined to finish the PDP while pretending to be saving it.”?

(iv) What would have happened to the PDP by now if the National Caretaker Working Committee did not take action to save the Party at this critical period of politics and electioneering?

Let’s we forget, there are NINE (9) Appeals before the Court of Appeal “Awaiting Judgements” and they include the Suits Filled either by Abdulraham-led or Turaki-led. But it is noteworthy that All the Judicial Pronouncements so far from the Lower Courts are against the Turaki-led Group because the Law is prevailing on the Crux of the Matter - Constitutional breaches - which are justifiable.

Instead of the Turaki-led to seek reconciliation in the interest of the Party, they rather chose grand standing and nationwide voyage - all aimed at seeking validation where it does not exist; while resorting to insult the Judiciary and INEC that are genuinely executing their respective mandates.

It is time to act in the overall interest of the PDP’s teeming members and supporters by ensuring compliance with the ‘Internal Provisions’ of the Party’s Constitution.

Let the PDP survive!!!!!!

The National Secretary of the People’s Democratic Party, Caretaker Committee, His Excellency Distinguished Senator Samuel Anyanwu has asked Muslims faithfuls across the globe to reflect on the holy book as they commence the holy month of Ramadan.

In his goodwill message to all Muslims faithfuls in the Peoples Democratic Party and Nigerians at large, he ask them to exemplify the Life of Prophet Muhammed during the fast and beyond and also in their daily lives.

He equally asked them to maximize the fasting period and use the opportunity to pray for the unity and prosperity of our great party and Nigeria at large.

Nasir el-Rufai: The Jeffrey Epstein of Nigeria

By his own admission on live television, an argument can be made that Nasir el-Rufai is Nigeria's version of Jeffrey Epstein, as seen in the famous #Epsteinfiles. Like Epstein, Nasir el-Rufai is a notorious gatherer of negative information on people using illegal means.

Please fact-check me: Six years ago, on Friday, 1 May 2020, when multiple attempts to hack my emails and social media accounts were made, I fingered Nasir el-Rufai as the main suspect.

He had sent me an email in which Southern Nigerian Christian women were described as "whores". And when, in shock, I wrote about it in my Thisday column, I suddenly became the victim of a massive hacking spree across almost all platforms.

Who knows what other Epstein-style blackmail information this self-confessed accessory after the fact to criminal hacking has?

If you are one of his paid 'data boys' or influencers, you had better watch your back!

If you are Waziri Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, or Rotimi Amaechi, please note that there is no spoon long enough to dine with the devil. Someone like el-Rufai can use illegally obtained compromising information to manipulate the ADC primaries.

Given his admission on live TV yesterday, is it a stretch to imagine that, like Jeffrey Epstein, Nasir el-Rufai knows people who use hidden cameras in hotels and private residences to obtain compromising information about people?

Based on what he said on Arise Prime Time yesterday, is el-Rufa'i above espionage, which is the use of illicit sexual activity to entrap people?

If Nasir el-Rufa'i has your phone number, I would urge you to block him immediately; otherwise, we may start hearing all your secrets on television!

When Truth Becomes Obvious: Seyi Makinde’s Visit With Atiku Abubakar to Former Military President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida






When truth begins to unfold, silence becomes complicity. Nigerians must therefore pay close attention to recent political movements that, taken together, expose a troubling agenda within the opposition space, one that threatens the very soul and survival of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The much-publicized visit of Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, alongside former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, to former military president General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (rtd.), is not an innocent courtesy call. Rather, it stands as a loud political signal, one that reinforces growing fears that certain actors within the PDP are actively positioning the party for gradual liquidation and transfer of loyalty to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Only yesterday, Gov. Seyi Makinde was at the Court of Appeal in solidarity with his sponsored factional leader, Tanimu Kabiru Turaki with the aim of using him to transferring the party’s structure to the African Democratic Congress, ADC. Without the knowledge of his supporters, he jetted out to meeting with Atiku Abubakar and Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida in Niger State even before the PDP case at the Court of Appeal was called and heard.

This development is an eye-opener to Nigerians and party faithful who have closely followed the orchestrated leadership crisis that has plagued the PDP for months. A crisis many believe is not accidental, but deliberately sponsored and sustained to weaken the party from within, frustrate reconciliation, and prepare the ground for an eventual political migration led by Gov. Seyi Makinde.

Governor Makinde’s body language, alliances, and political calculations increasingly reveal a pattern: destabilize the PDP, discredit its internal corrective mechanisms, and present defection as the only viable future. This explains the consistent antagonism toward the legally recognized caretaker leadership of Alhaji Abdulrahman Mohammed and Senator Samuel Anyanwu, whose mandate is to stabilize, rebuild, and reposition the party in line with the rule of law.

If indeed Governor Makinde and his associates no longer believe in the PDP project, honesty demands a simple and honourable path: exit the party. Nigerians deserve clarity, not double-dealing. The PDP deserves loyalty, not sabotage disguised as reform.

The contradiction in Makinde’s public posturing further exposes this political gamble. In a live televised interview, the Oyo State Governor accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of driving Nigeria toward a one-party state. Yet, in a dramatic turn of events, the same Makinde reportedly held a closed-door meeting with President Tinubu, where the President firmly dismissed such claims and rebuked the narrative outright.

This inconsistency raises fundamental questions:
Is Makinde truly opposed to a one-party state, or merely opposed to losing political leverage?
Is this about democracy or about personal ambition and survival?

Nigeria’s democracy cannot be built on duplicity. Opposition politics must be rooted in principle, not convenience. The PDP must not be reduced to a bargaining chip in elite negotiations or traded away through backdoor alliances.

The time has come for men and women of conscience within the PDP to draw the line. Seyi Makinde’s supporter must know that their leader is leading them to a point of no return with no clear vision.

The party must be allowed to heal, rebuild, and move forward under its legitimate caretaker leadership free from internal conspiracies and external inducements.

History will be kind only to those who stood firm when truth became obvious.

The duo of Mohammed and the National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu are part of party leaders attending the first quarterly meeting between the commission and all political parties leaders.

The meeting is meant for only national chairmen and National Secretaries of all registered parties recognised by the Commission

BREAKING:

Federal High Court in Ibadan has nullified the PDP National Convention held in Ibadan, Oyo State on November 15, 2025.

The court barred Turaki and others from parading themselves as national officers of the PDP.

The court also ruled that Caretaker Committee led by Abdulrahman and Senator Samuel Anyanwu is the only recognised NWC of the PDP pending the conduct of a valid National Convention.

Anyanwu withdraw's suit on PDP secretaryship on the ground that the suit has been overtaken by events


The court dismissed the suit following a request from Mr Anyanwu's lawyer that his tenure as National Secretary of PDP has rightfully elapsed.


The Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday dismissed a suit filed by Samuel Anyanwu, seeking validation as the national secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The judge, Mohammed Umar, dismissed the suit after Mr Anyanwu’s lawyer disclosed that his client’s tenure as PDP’s national secretary expired in December last year.



Sued as defendants in the suit were the PDP, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Umar Damagun, a factional national chairman; Sunday Udeh‑Okoye, PDP National Vice Cairman, South‑East; Ali Odela, deputy national secretary; and Setonji Koshoedo, deputy national secretary.

Speaking earlier during Tuesday’s proceedings, Mr Anyanwu’s lawyer, U. C. Njemanze‑Aku, said it was not proper “for a matter that has been overtaken by events to continue.”



“In the interest of justice, I apply to withdraw this matter to save the court’s time,” Mr Njemanze-Aku said.

Responding, INEC’s lawyer, Akintayo Balogun, said the suit “ought not to have been instituted in the first place” and asked the court to dismiss it with costs. He requested one million naira.



M. O. Akpan, the lawyer who rerpesented Mr Dajuma, also argued that the suit should not have been filed and sought N1.5 million as cost. Similarly Ugochukwu Okanu, representing the fourth defendant and J. A. Musa, for the sixth defendant, asked for N1 million each for the same reason.

However, Mr Njemanze-Aku frowned on the positions of the defendants and their requests for cost.

He insisted that the withdrawal was due to circumstances beyond his client’s control. “We owe a duty to the court, and to avoid wasting its time, we decided to withdraw the case,” he said.

He added that “it is not fair to penalise the plaintiff,” and urged the court to allow the parties to bear their own costs.

After listening to the arguments, the court dismissed the suit. Regarding costs, he ruled that “the delay is not on any of the parties. The situation made it so. For this reason, I award no cost.”Anyanwu withdraw's suit on PDP secretaryship on the ground that the suit has been overtaken by events

Senator Samuel Anyanwu: The voice of the voiceless


Senator Samuel Anyanwu fondly known as Sam Daddy has been an advocate for the downtrodden.

He has been a man of the people and a man that has stood for what is right and has defended many whose rights have been trampled upon.

Senator Samuel Anyanwu is the perfect definition of the type of leader our society needs. He knows when to speak and he speaks without wanting to be politically correct. He does not play politics with the rights of the people and he has usually been a defender of the oppressed of the society.

Senator Samuel Anyanwu is not just an Igbo man, he is a great Nigerian with friends across the length and breadth of Nigeria, friends he made while fighting for the oppressed.

Senator Samuel Anyanwu has shown that politics is for service to the people, even the oppressed. He believes that the oppressed are equally important members of the society same as those of high status in the society.

Sam Daddy as he is fondly called does not tolerate oppression of any kind. He has been a defender of the poor and the oppressed of the society. He is indeed a voice of the voiceless.

In many instances, he has spoken for those without voice in the society and when he speaks for those without voice he does so regardless of whose ox is gored.

He is a man of the masses. On many counts, many have run to him for help and he has never turned any back without assisting the person accordingly. It is these his good traits that have drawn many to him over the years even in his personal life outside of politics.
