Why do unverified news and propaganda keep making frontpage?

Let's be clear here @ OP , You are not sharing facts. You are sharing Iranian state propaganda that has been debunked multiple times by every independent source that isn't state-controlled media.

You say the truth is coming out. What truth? That Iran is winning? Let's look at the actual truth.

Iran has fired hundreds of ballistic missiles at Israel. The result? Fewer than twenty Israeli civilians have been killed. That is not victory. That is failure. Israel's air defense system is not perfect, but it is intercepting the vast majority of what Iran sends. The few missiles that get through cause damage, yes. But you don't get to call yourself a winner when 90 percent of your missiles are shot down before they reach their target.

You ask how only six people died if airbases were bombed. That is a strange question coming from someone who supports Iran. Iran's own military bases have been hit thousands of times. Thousands of Iranian soldiers have been killed. Their navy is at the bottom of the Gulf. Their air defense system is in ruins. Their supreme leader is dead. Their new supreme leader has not been seen in public for weeks. If that is winning, I would hate to see what losing looks like.

You say the truth is coming. But the truth is already here. The United States and Israel have struck over fifteen thousand targets inside Iran. Iran's missile launch capacity is down by 90 percent. Their drone attacks are down by 95 percent. These are not my numbers. These are Pentagon numbers. You can choose to believe Iranian state TV if you want. But the rubble does not lie.

You are spreading fake news because you want Iran to win. I understand that. But wanting something to be true does not make it true. Iran is not winning. Iran is being systematically dismantled.

So be patient if you want. But do not confuse patience with evidence. When the war ends, and it will end, the facts will not change. Iran will still have lost. And the only people who will be surprised are those who got their news from Telegram channels and Iranian propaganda videos.

I am not anti-Iran. I am anti-lies. And what you are sharing is lies.

National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, says the ruling party is not under the control of any governor.

According to the chairman, governors do not have ultimate control over the party as decisions are often made at the national level.

“Across the country, nobody can take any section of the party. For anything you are going to do at the state level, it is planned at the National level. It is not planned at the state level. This is the APC structure and that is how we work.

“We work with structure. We don’t work with sentiments and emotions. Nobody has control over the party, even myself. No local government chairman has control over APC. No governor has control over APC. No senator or individual has control over APC, “ the chairman said.

Nentawe further said to avoid unnecessary crisis, they avoided forming a board of trustees in the party.

He emphasized that “that was why APC doesn’t have a board of trustees. APC is owned by the people. People are the trustees of APC. Unlike other political parties where you have some people controlling and having structures of the party in their hands. As a party chairman, there is no board of trustees supervising me. I supervise myself.”

Fatima Atiku Abubakar, first daughter of former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, has officially joined the African Democratic Congress, ADC.

The former Commissioner of Health, Adamawa State was received into the party in Abuja on Monday.

The medical professional turned politician registered and received her party membership card at her ward in the Wuse area of the nation’s capital.

The FCT Chairman of ADC, Chief Clement Oba Ehigiator, AMAC chairman of the party and other stakeholders were present at the event.

She expressed excitement to join the party housing the coalition of opposition leaders plotting President Bola Tinubu’s removal in 2027.

Bashir Ahmad, a former presidential media aide, has warned the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, against bringing disrupting the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

Ahmad has told Wike he cannot the “spirit” of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is not needed within the APC.

He stated this in reaction to the war of words between the FCT Minister and APC’s national secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru.

“The National Secretary of the APC, Senator Ajibola Basiru has reminded Nyesom Wike that his support for President Bola Tinubu, does not automatically make him a member of the APC,” Ahmad wrote on X.

“Millions of non-APC Nigerians also support Mr. President and his own is no different.

“His attempt to destabilise the Party in Rivers State will not be tolerated and he cannot bring the spirit of PDP into the APC.”

Co-convener of the BringBackOurGirls Movement, Aisha Yesufu, has declared that she will become a card-carrying member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), citing her support for Peter Obi.

Yesufu made the declaration on Wednesday in Enugu, in solidarity with Obi following his defection from the Labour Party to the ADC.

She urged well-meaning Nigerians to unite ahead of the 2027 general elections, stressing the need for collective action to rescue the country.

“I have never been a card-carrying member of any political party, but I will be a card-carrying member of the ADC,” she said.

“Enough is enough. There is no more time for tears. We have cried too much.

“From this moment onward, we will fight for Nigeria. We will build a great nation.

“ADC will take Nigeria to a point where the son of a nobody can become somebody without knowing anybody,” Yesufu added.

I think the US is more particular about destabilizing Nigeria than actually helping. Why have they not asked Saudi and other Islamic countries to ban sharia law. You don't just propose such unreasonable solution at such a fragile moment.

Sharia law is what Muslims practice, what you should be talking about is how to standardize it with written down non-barbaric punishment for offenders. Also for the government to make sure it's binding on only willing muslims and subject to appeal at higher courts.

This is not a solution in any way, it's rather the creation of another problem because it will no longer be war against bandits, it will now be war against Islam which Nigeria is not ready for.

Wike has never lost any battle in his life

The Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, and the Senator representing Bayelsa West, Seriake Dickson, have rejected the defection of Governor Douye Diri to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

The duo, alongside other stalwarts of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, maintained that the party remains the biggest opposition force in the country and is still strong enough in the oil-rich state to make defection unnecessary.

Diri, who announced his resignation from PDP through his spokesman, Daniel Alabrah, did not provide details or reasons for his defection.

Allies of the two PDP leaders, who spoke to journalists in separate interviews, said there was no justification for any PDP leader or member to leave the party that had brought them political prominence.

“The Deputy Governor, Ewhrudjakpo, and one of our leaders, Seriake Dickson, including other former lawmakers in our party, are still with the PDP — we’re going nowhere,” one of the sources told DAILY POST in a telephone interview.

Another source disclosed that the deputy governor refused to attend the State Executive Council meeting where Diri announced his resignation from the PDP, although he has not yet declared his next political move.

He said, “Earlier this morning, Diri presided over the SEC meeting, but the deputy governor refused to attend. He didn’t attend because he’s not defecting alongside the governor.”

However, it was gathered that members of the State House of Assembly who resigned from the PDP alongside Diri are planning to initiate impeachment proceedings against the deputy governor for refusing to defect with the governor.

Sources revealed that the lawmakers intend to describe Ewhrudjakpo’s refusal to defect as gross misconduct and an impeachable offence, adding that nothing would prevent them from proceeding with impeachment at their next sitting.

“We expect that the State Assembly will victimise him for his choice. If he’s victimised for remaining in the PDP, he will have no choice but to do the needful,” the source added.

Diri and Ewhrudjakpo were elected on a joint PDP ticket in 2019 and assumed office in 2020. They were re-elected under the same platform in 2023.

Ewhrudjakpo, a lawyer and seasoned politician, served as the senator representing Bayelsa West Senatorial District between 2019 and 2020 in the 9th National Assembly. He has also held various leadership positions, including Chairman of the Nigerian International Coastal Border Platform, which focuses on harmonising maritime laws and combating piracy and other maritime-related crimes.

Meanwhile, Senator Seriake Dickson has condemned the wave of defections into the ruling APC.

Speaking with reporters at the National Assembly Complex in Abuja after plenary on Wednesday, Dickson reaffirmed his commitment to PDP, saying that the governors defecting were making a mockery of democracy.

Reacting to Diri’s defection, Dickson said, “I am where I have always been. I don’t believe Nigeria should become a one-party state. As a democrat, I understand the ups and downs of the process, but I remain constant and steadfast in the PDP.

“It’s sad. Instead of fixing the problems, they let the crisis fester and now they are bailing out. It makes Nigeria look small, ridicules our democracy, and endangers multiparty politics. What we are witnessing is political class suicide.

“To his credit, he consulted me, but I didn’t see any compelling reason to defect. I’m still standing where I have always stood — with the PDP, the party that gave my people the opportunity to produce a Vice President, an Acting President, and a President of the Federal Republic. The APC cannot offer that.

“If we fail to save the PDP, then we will decide collectively on the next step, but it certainly should not be joining the APC. A democracy without opposition becomes a dictatorship.”

Pairing Yar Adua and GEJ was his greatest undoing in terms of a successor plan but then what were his options? Odili was one of the hopeful, but to me not a good choice, Donald Duke was another hopeful, but being from the South, replacing another southerner was not going to work and Obj knew that.

Next was Atiku but he had fallen out of favor so Obj was not going to support him. I cannot remember who the nortrhers that were in conntensions were but for some weird reason, he went to recruit Yar Adua who was not even nursing any ambition and not particularly impressive as a governor. of Katstina state.

The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has declared that Peter Obi will not get the presidential ticket of the Labour Party (LP), African Democratic Congress (ADC), or the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2027 election.

Bwala, who appeared on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ on Wednesday, stated that Obi may not only lose in the race for the presidency but also not emerge as a running mate.

According to Bwala, Obi has lost over 50 per cent of his votes because they were not built on politics and agenda but on rhetoric and division.

“I tell you, he is not going to get a ticket in any of the parties; that is Peter Obi.

“Now, the problem is that he may not even get the vice presidential ticket from the way things are going.

“But whether Peter Obi is a ticket bearer of the party, Peter Obi has lost more than 50 per cent of his votes. Because they were not votes that were built on agenda and politics.

“They were built on rhetoric and division, and Nigerian people’s eyes are open,” Bwala said.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has reportedly released the former Sokoto governor, Aminu Tambuwal, after spending over 24 hours in the custody of the anti-graft agency.

Tambuwal was detained at the corporate headquarters of the anti-graft agency on Monday, August 11, over the allegation that he fraudulentlt made cash withdrawal of N189 billion when he was serving as the governor of Sokoto State.

Sources within the anti-graft agency disclosed that the action of the former government was against the Money Laundering (Prevention & Prohibition) Act, 2022.

The former governor had honoured the commission's invitation at about 11am on Monday. He was then taken into custody after it was said that the former governor failed to answer qustions that were asked from him.

According to Daily Trust, the release of the former governor was confirmed by one of EFCC's crack detectives, who disclosed that Tambuwal was granted an administrative bail and would be allowed to leave the agency's headquarters after meeting the bail conditions.

The detective said:

“He has just already been granted an administrative bail. We’ve extracted what we need from him and he will soon leave our headquarters after perfecting his bail conditions."

However, he declined to comment on whether the former governor would be charged to court or not.

Tambuwal's release came after the African Democratic Congress (ADC) claimed that the federal government was using the EFCC to discredit and harass opposition leaders.

Bolaji Abdullahi, the interim national publicity secretary of the ADC, made the allegation in a statement on Tuesday, August 12. He alleged that the commission has commenced “a choreographed media trial” against major opposition figures.

Abdullahi alleged that the sudden detention of Aminu Tambuwal, the former Sokoto governor and the "urgent" request by the EFCC on information about the seven-month tenure of Emeka Ihedioha, the former governor of Imo State, were politically motivated.

The spokesperson of the ADC also alleged that the EFCC was making a move to investigate the party's interim national chairman over his time as the Senate president.

Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is facing a difficult battle to maintain political influence within the African Democratic Congress (ADC)-led opposition coalition, as loyalists of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar tighten their grip on the party’s structures ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Multiple sources within the coalition say Atiku’s allies have been quietly consolidating control since the alliance was formed.

These allies reportedly leveraged early entry into the ADC and substantial financial resources to outpace rival factions.

A senior member familiar with the developments said Atiku’s faction has seized control of the coalition.

“Over 70 per cent of the entire structure of the ADC has already been taken over by Atiku’s camp, largely because they joined the party early and have more resources.

“Members of key organs of the party, the NWC, Board of Trustees, state chapters, and others that will play a critical role in determining who becomes the party’s candidate in the next election are largely loyal to Atiku.

“In fact, in some states where the chairmen have refused to cooperate with Atiku’s group, there are ongoing efforts to forcefully implement leadership changes. These moves are aimed at ensuring that party decisions favour Atiku.

“As far as the ADC is concerned, Atiku is in charge, and many of his loyalists have taken over the structure ahead of his declaration or directive, as the case may be. Though Obi is still part of the coalition, he is struggling to catch up with Atiku’s moves.”

Another insider claimed that funding was key to the takeover.

“From day one of the coalition, Atiku’s camp was ahead in the game. In fact, they made a huge amount of dollars available to persuade some ADC members to step aside and make way for the coalition leaders.

“So, it’s not surprising. That was the plan, and that is exactly what’s happening, they’ve taken over the structure. Atiku wouldn’t spend such massive resources and then fold his arms. Beyond the money, many of his loyalists and even strategists have joined the ADC. He’s clearly doing this for himself.

“If Atiku is not contesting — but I believe he will — he will still determine whatever happens within the ADC coalition. So, while Obi, Amaechi, and others are part of the ADC, they appear to be working for Atiku, directly or indirectly.

“Look at the Mark-led NWC, Obi only nominated the National Organising Secretary in the National Working Committee out of over 25 members of the NWC.”

The growing dominance of Atiku’s loyalists has unsettled Obi’s support base, particularly the Obidient Movement, which has accused the ADC leadership of sidelining them from key decision-making.

In a memo dated July 29, 2025, and signed by National Coordinator Tanko Yunusa, the group alleged, “Our people are deliberately excluded at all levels… This creates an impression of marginalisation and undermines trust, which is essential for building a sustainable partnership.”

Speaking on the matter, Yunusa, however, insisted Obi was not being edged out, saying, “Obi is not struggling for relevance… these are works in progress… His Excellency Peter Obi has said that he’s joining the coalition for the 2027 general election. At the moment, he’s made it clear that he’s a member of the Labour Party. So, when that time comes, he will take his decision.”

Commenting on the development, the ADC said Atiku has not taken control of it’s ADC structures.

The ADC interim National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdulahi assured that all aspirants would be given a level playing field in the buildup to the 2027 election.

He stated, “All stakeholders are carried along in the ADC activities. The party is not loyal to anybody and has not been taken over by anyone. The National Organizing Secretary was nominated by Peter Obi. This is the most powerful party position. So, every stakeholder is carried along.

“So, the structure of ADC, from the NWC to other structures, does not belong to Atiku or anyone. We are working alongside all our stakeholders equally to unseat President Tinubu in 2027.

“The ADC as a coalition platform is beyond 2027. We are united to rescue Nigerians from Tinubu’s APC and bring about good governance. So no division anywhere.

“There’s nothing to manage in their (Atiku, Obi and Amaechi) ambitions. Everybody has the right to express their interest in any of those. But for us, at the level we are, we are not having that conversation at all.

“The only thing we can say is that we are going to provide a level playing field for everybody who has an ambition to pursue.

We don’t have any preferred candidates or aspirants. We are going to ensure that we deliver transparently. So, there’s nothing to manage.

“As long as the system is clear to everyone, we are sure that’s the best possible guarantee that we are able to hold everything together.”
