Zamfara APC Youth Group Rejects Governor Dauda Lawal’s Rumoured Defection


A youth coalition under the banner of the Zamfara APC Integrity Network (ZAIN) has strongly rejected the speculated defection of Governor Dauda Lawal from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing him as a political liability with a trail of poor governance.




In a statement signed by its president, Comrade Murtala Sani Gummi, and made available to journalists in Gusau on Monday, the group said it had credible intelligence suggesting that Governor Lawal was lobbying to join the APC ahead of the 2027 general elections in a bid to realign with the centre and retain political relevance.

The group, however, warned that such a move would backfire, noting that the APC in Zamfara and across Nigeria “cannot afford to inherit a non-performing politician whose leadership has worsened the socio-economic conditions of Zamfara people”.

“We want to make it categorically clear that Governor Dauda Lawal is not welcome in the APC. He is a huge liability, and any attempt to accept him into the party will damage our chances in 2027. Zamfara has suffered under his administration. The streets are not safe, civil servants are groaning, and there’s no tangible infrastructure to speak of,” Gummi said.

The group described Lawal’s rumoured defection as a desperate political move “designed to mask his failures and ride on President Tinubu’s growing popularity in the North”.

“Whereas President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has shown strong leadership, especially with the gradual stabilisation of the economy and renewed military operations in the North-West, Governor Dauda Lawal’s performance has been abysmal in all ramifications,” the statement added.

ZAIN alleged that under Governor Lawal’s watch, insecurity has escalated, salaries are delayed, and government institutions have weakened.

“What Zamfara needs is visionary leadership — not recycled politicians jumping from party to party for personal survival. APC is rebuilding its structures, and we cannot afford to dilute that progress with someone whose record in office has been marked by blame games and inertia,” Gummi added.

The group urged the national leadership of the APC not to entertain the idea of accepting Lawal into the party, cautioning that such a move would dampen youth mobilisation efforts in the state.

“We are already building strong grassroots structures across all 14 local governments in Zamfara to ensure APC’s victory in 2027. Bringing Dauda Lawal into our fold will discourage the young people who believe in the President’s vision but reject failure at the local level,” Gummi added.

The group further noted that the APC youth wing in Zamfara is committed to supporting credible candidates who can align with the performance of President Tinubu and deliver real dividends of democracy.

“President Tinubu is working. The projects are visible. But Governor Lawal has no track record to show. His defection will be viewed as an opportunistic ploy and must be resisted.”

The group reaffirmed its loyalty to the APC and its determination to defend the party’s integrity in Zamfara State.

“As youths, we have the numbers, the energy, and the will. We will not allow anyone to hijack our structure and create division within the fold. The APC of 2025 is not a dumping ground for underperforming politicians.”

Lawyers, CSOs Storm Attorney General's Office Over $5 Milion Tuition Fees Paid For NMDPRA's Boss Children

Hundreds of lawyers and members of civil society organization, today, stormed the Attorney General's Office with a petition demanding immediate action against Engr. Farouk Ahmed, the CEO of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).

The group alleges Ahmed abused his office, misappropriating over $5 million in public funds to fund his children in elite schools abroad.

In the petition signed by Barrister Aquila Kendo, the Concerned Nigerian Youths Forum claims Ahmed's children attended prestigious schools in Switzerland and India, with tuition fees running into hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It also alleges conflict of interest, citing Ahmed's son's employment with Oando PLC, a company regulated by NMDPRA, and accuses Ahmed of casting doubt on the quality of petroleum products refined by the Dangote Refinery.

“The actions attributed to Engr. Farouk Ahmed, if proven, violate a number of federal statutes and ethical standards,” Kendo stated.

“First is Section 172 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which binds public officers to act in the public interest and to eschew corruption. The diversion of public funds or influence-peddling to sponsor private education abroad directly contradicts this provision.

“Under Paragraphs 1, 6, and 11 of the Fifth Schedule to the Constitution (Code of Conduct for Public Officers), a public official is required to declare all assets and liabilities and is barred from engaging in activities that create conflict between their private interest and public duties.

“The Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act (CAP C15 LFN 2004) reinforces these rules and outlines penalties, including dismissal from office and seizure of assets not lawfully acquired.

“Additionally, Section 15 of the Public Procurement Act 2007 forbids public officers from authorising public spending not backed by lawful appropriation. No known appropriation or budget line justifies the alleged expenditure on foreign education in this case.

“Furthermore, Sections 19 and 26 of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act (ICPC Act) criminalise the use of public office for unjust enrichment and the receipt of any advantage that could compromise an officer’s impartiality. We believe the benefits allegedly extended to Oando and the regulatory latitude granted to fuel importers fall within these violations.

“Under Section 1 of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, any individual who disguises the origin of funds through layered transactions or transfers via proxy accounts is liable to prosecution.

“Finally, Engr. Ahmed’s alleged issuance of licenses to import high-sulphur diesel also violates provisions of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) that empower NMDPRA to safeguard the health and safety of Nigerian consumers through environmental and technical product compliance.”

The group is calling for Ahmed's immediate suspension, coordinated investigations by EFCC, ICPC, and Code of Conduct Bureau, and swift prosecution if allegations are substantiated.

They also demand systemic reforms within NMDPRA to prevent future occurrences, aiming to protect Nigeria's petroleum sector from corruption and ensure accountability.

Tinubu’s Reforms in Oil and Gas Regulation Worth Celebrating — Energy Governance Group

The African Centre for Energy Governance and Accountability (ACEGA) has praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what it described as groundbreaking and well-coordinated reforms in Nigeria’s oil and gas regulatory framework.

The group said the Tinubu administration’s support for the effective implementation of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) and its deliberate push to increase crude oil production are signs of genuine transformation in the energy sector.

In a statement signed by its Executive Director, Dr. Usman Bello Idris, the group said Tinubu’s approach to reform has restored investor confidence, revived production targets, and positioned Nigeria as a more responsible and efficient oil-producing nation.

“For years, Nigeria’s oil and gas sector groaned under inefficiency, uncertainty, and dwindling output. But what we are seeing today under President Tinubu’s leadership is a bold reset — one that respects the sanctity of the Petroleum Industry Act while pushing for real, measurable growth,” Dr. Idris said.

One of the most visible outcomes of the reforms, ACEGA said, is the steady increase in Nigeria’s crude oil production.

Since mid-2023, the country has seen a gradual climb in output levels, breaching 1.7 million barrels per day in recent months — a marked improvement from the lows of 2022 when output plunged below 1.2 million barrels due to theft, vandalism, and poor infrastructure.

Dr. Idris noted that this uptick did not happen by chance but was the result of deliberate interventions supported by Tinubu, including the relaunch of dormant assets, improved metering systems, and coordinated security efforts around critical pipelines.

“Nigeria’s crude oil production had been on life support, but through strategic regulatory leadership and presidential backing, the situation is reversing. Fields are coming back online, theft is being checked, and operators are regaining the confidence to produce,” he said.

ACEGA particularly hailed the president’s strong commitment to implementing the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), signed into law in 2021.

The group noted that Tinubu’s government did not just inherit the legislation; it has gone further to empower the relevant agencies, notably the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), to deliver on its promises.

“We must commend President Tinubu for not sidelining the PIA or paying lip service to its provisions. Instead, he has supported a robust implementation strategy that is already yielding results in licensing, fiscal discipline, community development, and investor clarity,” Dr. Idris stated.

The PIA, which took nearly two decades to become law, was designed to overhaul Nigeria’s oil and gas governance by introducing a transparent fiscal framework, separating regulatory responsibilities, and ensuring that host communities benefit from oil proceeds.

“From the Host Communities Development Trust to new fiscal incentives for marginal fields, and clearer guidelines for environmental compliance, the PIA under this administration is not just a document — it is a living, working tool of reform,” Idris added.

The group also applauded the leadership of Engr. Gbenga Komolafe at the NUPRC noting that his commitment to professionalism and transparency has contributed immensely to the success of the reforms.

It cited the commission’s efforts in reducing production costs, introducing real-time production monitoring, and facilitating a transparent bidding process for oil blocks as exemplary.

“The president has given NUPRC room to work, and they are proving that competent leadership can deliver results. NUPRC’s moves to enforce better metering, clamp down on theft, and promote decarbonisation reflect a forward-thinking agenda aligned with global standards,” ACEGA said.

While commending the gains so far, ACEGA urged the Tinubu administration not to rest on its laurels.

The group said there is a need for deeper investment in energy infrastructure, faster resolution of legacy disputes, and strategic planning for Nigeria’s energy transition in the face of global decarbonisation targets.

“The work is not done yet. Nigeria still faces challenges in refining capacity, gas monetisation, and energy access for its people. But what this administration has shown is that with political will, the sector can be revived. The future of oil and gas in Nigeria can be cleaner, more transparent, and more rewarding for all stakeholders,” Dr. Idris said.

ACEGA concluded by calling on stakeholders in the oil and gas industry — from international oil companies to local investors and host communities — to support the government’s reforms and work collectively to secure Nigeria’s energy future.

According to Dr. Kumo, the appointment of Arabi followed due process because the office is statutory in nature, and his removal must have followed the same pattern to have him properly nailed. He stated that the appointment is saddled with a five-year tenure, and before an officer of his type can be removed, there must be a committee that will write a report indicting him for falling short of the country's constitutional provisions.

Dr. Kumo said the 2024 Hajj he witnessed was one of the best, and the operations were one of the smoothest. He believes the government should have commended Arabi for bringing up the image of Nigeria in a good light. He called on the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to give Arabi a fair hearing.

"Please, follow due process and be fair to Jalal by giving him a fair hearing. This is a man who retired clean and sound, having served four former presidents as a permanent secretary. I'm sure he wouldn't have done anything deliberate to tarnish the good name he has built over the years."

Dr. Kumo asked if the government had received any report from Arabi to uncover the infractions in the N90 billion allocated to the commission for the successful operation of the 2024 Hajj.

He called on the present government to give Arabi a fair hearing by letting him submit his own report and then forming a panel committee of investigation to write an independent report that would indict him of any criminal offenses.

Dr. Kumo continued to say that he suspects foul play and is coming to terms with the many rumors that there are cabals in the presidency who may be operating without the knowledge of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

"My little understanding of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is that he will want to work based on the constitution of the federal Republic of Nigeria and be fair to all people, irrespective of their religion, tribe, or political background."

Dr. Kumo reiterated his call to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to be fair to all Nigerians, especially at this time that Arabi is bearing the brunts of wrong accusations coming from all corners under whichever guise or pressure, due to primordial sentiments vested in the hearts of many political associates.

PDP Chieftain, Toyin Amuzu Urges FG to create solutions to tackle hike in price of PMS, AGO

ABEOKUTA- Renowned Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and Egba born philanthropist, Chief Toyin Amuzu, has advised government to create solution by tackling the hike in prices of petroleum products and subsidize citizens’ essential needs to boost economic activities in the country.

Chief Amuzu was reacting to President Tinubu’s directive to the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) to use funds meant for the Federation Account to offset fuel subsidy costs.

Amuzu stressed that government intervention is crucial to drive the economy and protect citizens’ well-being, noting that Nigerians are presently languishing in pains due to the hardship caused by the fuel subsidy removal which has greatly affected the prices of foodstuffs.

According to Amuzu, subsidies for electricity, fuel, healthcare, grants and loans among others are necessary to create an enabling environment for businesses to thrive.


“It is only when businesses and people do well that they can be taxed,” he said.

“Any responsible government, whether federal, state, or local, must intentionally make things work for the people, so that their efforts can enhance micro and macro economies to serve the nation.”



The Egba traditional chief also highlighted the importance of utilizing Nigeria’s youth and resources to drive development, emphasizing that Nigerians must take charge of developing the nation as only Nigerians can develop Nigeria.

He criticized the lack of electricity supply and fuel, stating that “nothing developmental would happen” without these essential services.


Amuzu urged the government to tackle the Nation’s challenges head-on, rather than paying lip services, to ensure meaningful progress.

The Potential Consequences of Governor Jackson Adeleke's "Omo'wa ni e je o se" Sentiment in Osun State

Governor Jackson Adeleke's administration in Osun State has sparked a concern in me with its way of promoting the "Omo'wa ni e je o se" sentiment, loosely translated as "Let our own people lead." This approach, seen in the disproportionate focus on developing Ede, Adeleke's hometown, and appointing key figures from the same locality, risks setting a dangerous precedent for the state's political landscape.

Historically, Osun State has benefited from a governance style that prioritizes even distribution of resources, particularly in the capital, Osogbo. Previous administrations, despite their origins from different towns, have worked to ensure that infrastructural development was not confined to their own communities but spread across the state. This helped maintain unity and reduce unhealthy competition among towns.

However, Governor Adeleke's strategy could breed a toxic political culture where every community becomes desperate to produce the next governor, solely to channel state resources to their own areas. This is evident in the massive and focused development projects currently transforming Ede, compared to other parts of the state. While development in Ede is necessary and commendable, the extent and exclusivity of these efforts may fuel resentment and rivalry among other towns.

The appointment of Mr. Kehinde Alabi Adeyemi, also from Ede, to replace Dr. Kola Odetayo as rector of the state’s polytechnic further amplifies concerns about favoritism. Such moves might undermine meritocracy and foster a perception of exclusion among other communities, leading to increased tension and division.

If this trend continues, Osun State could face a future where political decisions are driven by parochial interests rather than the collective good. Each town might become fixated on securing the governorship for its own, leading to unhealthy competition and a fractured state. The resulting political instability could stifle development, as the focus shifts from state-wide progress to localized power struggles.

For the sake of Osun State's unity and progress, it is crucial that the current administration reassess its approach and strive for a more inclusive governance style. A balanced distribution of resources and appointments will not only enhance fairness but also strengthen the state's cohesion, ensuring that all communities feel equally valued and represented in the state's governance. Sentimental approach to governance can indeed foster tribalism, prioritizing one's own community or group above others.This is gradually encouraging division, creating an "us versus them" mentality and promoting populism, Fueling power struggles, encouraging competition for dominance rather than cooperation.

The Stakeholders passed a vote of confidence on him because of the People's -driven representation he has been given since he took over the mantle of leadership to represent them.

The Stakeholders who care critical the existence of of APC since its formation and growth said Jafar has been up and doing in the core area of his calling, which bills, laws, motions, contributions, and oversight functions are the more important work of a Lawmaker.

Maiha APC Chairman, Alhaji Ahmadu Teacher who is the Garkuwa Maiha, comrade Muhammed Abdullahi who is the Public Relation Officer Adamawa State chapter of the APC, and former council Chairman of Mubi South Local Government, Barr Salihu Yakubu all submitted that Jafar went beyond bills and Lawmaker and also meddled into empowerment programs to bring the dividends of democracy to his people.

In their separate submission, they unanimously agreed that the bills that saw to the establishment of the federal Medical Center in Mubi, the University of Agriculture in Mubi, and The college of Nursing in Maiha is the brain box ideas of Jafar.

They commended him for the historic bills and reiterated that he has placed the area in the political sands of history and set the a record that will take another Jafar to break.

Other Stakeholders who gave him a clean bill of representation and confidence in the fact that he's doing well and are happy with his leadership strides are Mubi South APC secretary Alh.Saadu Yusuf Munduva, Sule protocol (Senior stakeholder Mubi North), Alh Bala Mai Goro (APC Vice Chairman Mubi South Local Government) and Mubi North APX secretary, Joshua AKA Santuraki.

Others who made up the list of those endorsing Jafar's good representation are Saidu Naira, a Critical stakeholder from Mubi North; Ardo Ahmadu Gude, a former Council Chairman of Mubi South Local government; Hon Salihu Abubakar, who is a critical stakeholder from Mubi North and Alhaji Musa Mams an APC stakeholder from Maiha Local Government area.

Ahmadu Teacher, however,warned those peddling rumors of recall of Jafar,who he thumbed up his representation and described oas ne of the best ,to desist from doing so.

According to him ,Jafar is more than recall ,and his performances deserve Commendations and encouragement to do more not to cast unnecessary aspersions by hitting up the polity.

He Called on senior Stakeholders of the Party at the state and federal level to ignore the child's play of some politicians who are sponsoring a loser card of recall on Jafar Abubakar Magaji.

Ahmadu urged Stakeholders to know that they're people who are failure in the party and are bend on destroying the party before the leave for another party.

They appealed to the Minister of Education, Prof Mamman Tahir, the National Security Adviser (NSA), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, and the entire party officials in the state under the able leadership of Barr Idris Shuaibu to make sure that the party stands united against the charade play of whose fanning embers of political thuggery, molestation, a campaign of calumny against sons and Daughters of the party.

He lambasted those calling for Jafar's recall as tribal and religious bigots using it for their selfish interests not the wishes of the people of Maiha, Mubi South, Mubi North.

"We are comfortable with Jafar's representation and leadership as a constituency, I want to let you know that aside from the bills, laws, motions, and resolutions including meaningful contributions this young man is making us proud in the green chambers of the national assembly, he gave our youth jobs some as Police, soldiers, immigration, customs and so many of them in tertiary institutions he gave them scholarship to support their education.

"He empowered hundreds of Youth and women to have a stable business. Then tell me what else do you want from a Lawmaker" he Said

Breaking: Police Arrest Wanted Popular Facebook Vlogger, Dorcas Adeyinka For Alleged Murder, Cyber Related Offenses




The Nigeria Police Force has arrested the popular Facebook Video Blogger, Dorcas Adeyinka for alleged murder and cyber related offenses. Dorcas was once declared wanted by the police for murderer, cyber-stalking, Abduction, Threat to Life and Extortion after several invitations was sent to her but refused to make herself available for questioning while she continously malign the police force on her social media platforms


Dorcas Adeyinka's rise to infamy began when she discovered the power of anonymity. Hiding behind the veil of computer screens and smartphone displays, she embarked on a one-woman mission to tear down and humiliate her targets with an uncanny knack for pinpointing the insecurities of others, she unleashed a relentless barrage of insults and derogatory comments, often accompanied by public shaming and cyber bullying. Her actions have repeatedly breached the law in various ways.


One law that Dorcas Adeyinka has violated is the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act of 2015 in Nigeria. Section 24 of this act criminalizes cyberbullying and provides protection against online attacks on a person's reputation or character. Dorcas Adeyinka's relentless bullying and derogatory comments directed at individuals undoubtedly fall within the purview of this law, as her actions have caused significant mental, emotional, and psychological distress to her victims, She intimidates her targets with series of chats subjecting them to public humiliations.


Moreover, Dorcas Adeyinka's behavior aligns with another breach of Nigerian law: the Cyberstalking Act of 2018. This legislation specifically addresses the issue of stalking and harassment through digital means. Dorcas Adeyinka's persistent targeting and harassment of certain individuals, repeatedly using different social media platforms, exemplify the kind of behavior the law seeks to prevent. The act defines cyberstalking as a punishable crime, with offenders facing potential imprisonment and hefty fines upon conviction.
