 Politics › Ask For Help If You Need Money To Campaign” — Kenneth Okonkwo Mocks Peter Obi by blamingthedevil(op): 10:09am On Jun 10 |
It has been brought to my notice that there is a letter circulating online from the hypocrite, Peter Obi, and his Lawyers that I should pay him N5b. Hahaha! If Peter Obi is looking for money to campaign, he should privately ask me for assistance, not come from extortion, and I will help him. I did so when I was his Spokesperson paying for my flight tickets and booking for my hotel accommodation to some of our campaigns. I have not read the letter. Let me sound this note of warning, the Lawyers must take responsibility for any information I may have to divulge, which I acquired as a spokesperson, but which by my conscience I have not shared with anyone. My principle is that I do not use any confidential information I share with anyone against the person except the person who becomes unintelligent enough to tow the line of foolishness. Anyone who decides to sue his former Spokesperson for defamation is indeed very unwise. I will reply to the letter whenever I have the time to read it later in the day. Please send it here if you have it. It will be a shame to Peter Obi and his Lawyers if they do not take this case to court. I don't have time or patience for scammers. According to Obunike Ohaegbu, "I am Obunike Ohaegbu, aspirant for Nnewi North/Nnewi South Ekwusigo Federal Constituency and I am saying that I was scammed and the party blames PO." https://x.com/realkenokonkwo/status/2064594652410564804 |

Kwankwaso Threatens to Leave NDC if His Candidates Are Replaced as Party Insists on 60/40 The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has replaced several candidates earlier submitted by the Kwankwasiyya faction in Kano State over an alleged breach of a power-sharing agreement according to report by Dailypost. According to a document signed by Kano State NDC Chairman, Hon. Hussaini Isah Mairiga, the changes were made to reflect the earlier agreement on the distribution of party positions and elective tickets between the existing NDC structure and the Kwankwasiyya bloc. The document was copied to National Leader Senator Seriake Dickson, Kwankwasiyya leader Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and the NDC North-West Zonal Chairman. Under the revised list, the party approved the following for Federal Constituencies: • Barrister Isma’il Idris Sani – Kumbotso • Nasiru Ali Ahmed – Nassarawa • Kabiru Ishaq Sa’id – Kano Municipal • Barrister Dayyabu Jamilu Ibrahim – Doguwa/Tudun Wada • Muhammad Hamisu Abubakar – Dawakin Tofa/Rimin Gado/Tofa • Ibrahim Bashir Bango – Sumaila/Takai • Abdulmajid Isa Umar Mairigar Fata – Gwale Adjustments were also made to State House of Assembly tickets in Dala, Tarauni, Kumbotso, Ungogo, and Dawakin Kudu constituencies. The NDC explained that there was a standing agreement for elective positions and party offices to be shared on a 60-40 basis, with the Kwankwasiyya bloc receiving 60% and the original party structure retaining 40%. https://x.com/Imranmuhdz/status/2063925508174217397 3 Likes 1 Share

While Kwankwaso’s dominance remains only in Kano, the 2027 election will be a very big test even in Kano.

| Business › How A Stable Naira Is Quietly Fixing Nigeria- Kalu Aja by blamingthedevil(op): 6:35pm On May 25 |
Kalu Aja @FinPlanKaluAja1 The Naira has shown remarkable stability against the US dollar since late 2024. After extreme volatility with rates spiking above $1: N1,600 in early 2025, the official exchange rate has settled in the $1: N1,350–1,430 range by May 2026, with daily volatility dropping sharply from over 4% in 2024 to around 0.5%. This is one of the most significant positive macro developments in recent years. While improved FX liquidity and CBN reforms played a role, one project stands out as a major structural driver: the Dangote Petroleum Refinery. The 650,000-barrel-per-day refinery has fundamentally altered Nigeria's foreign exchange demand profile. It is delivering measurable relief to the country's fiscal position. This reduction in FX demand for fuel imports has directly eased pressure on the Naira. Analysts refer to it as the "Dangote Effect". Lower import needs mean less reliance on CBN interventions and reduced vulnerability, which should reassure investors and policymakers about Nigeria's economic resilience. The question is: how is this stability actually affecting Nigeria's fiscal numbers—debt, deficit financing, borrowing needs, and trade? Nigeria's external debt, roughly 30–35% of total outstanding public debt, is denominated in US dollars. A more stable and stronger Naira directly lowers the cost of servicing that debt. In 2025, Nigeria spent approximately $5.21 billion on external debt service. Under the new floating exchange rate policy in early 2024, this would have translated into a much higher Naira burden. Recent stability has made the Naira equivalent more predictable and relatively contained. In the 2026 Federal budget, debt service is still projected at a massive N15–16 trillion. Still, the exchange-rate risk component has been meaningfully reduced. This is not trivial. Every 100 Naira depreciation against the dollar adds billions of Naira to the annual debt service bill. Stability, therefore, frees up some fiscal space, even if only modestly, and reduces the risk of sudden budget blowouts caused by currency shocks. A stable Naira reduces the need for CBN interventions using the BDCs or heavy domestic borrowing to defend the currency. It supports investor confidence, helping attract more foreign portfolio inflows and easing pressure on the domestic bond market. Lower fuel import costs reduce the overall import bill, easing pressure on the Federation budget and Naira and indirectly supporting debt service. The crude import bill is rising, but this is offset by additional revenue from taxes on refined product exports and from potential production of polypropylene and linear alkyl benzene as the Dangote refinery expands. However, the core deficit problem remains large. The 2026 budget still shows a deficit of around N23–24 trillion, with total new borrowing planned at N29 trillion. Stability helps manage the existing debt stock. Still, it does not magically close the wide gap between revenue and expenditure. The government is still borrowing heavily to finance recurrent spending and infrastructure. Nigeria has continued to record strong trade surpluses, partly because a more stable exchange rate has not undermined export competitiveness as much as feared and has reduced the cost of essential imports. A stronger Naira makes imports cheaper in Naira terms. This has two important effects: It eases imported inflation, especially for raw materials, machinery, and refined petroleum. It also supports import-substitution industries. The Dangote Refinery, for example, benefits enormously from predictable and relatively stable FX — it can plan long-term without the fear of sudden Naira crashes disrupting feedstock or spare parts imports. Nigeria recorded a record trade surplus of N17.78 trillion in 2025, with the refinery cited as a major contributor through import substitution and early exports. By reducing crude-for-fuel swaps and outright imports, the refinery has narrowed the current-account deficit and supported foreign reserve accumulation (reserves rose from $32.6 billion to $33.8 billion in the period following ramp-up). Naira stability since late 2024 has lowered certain fiscal risks, improved planning, and given the government some breathing room. The CBN under Governor Cardoso deserves credit for the FX reforms that contributed to this outcome. But stability is a platform, not a solution. Nigeria's fundamental fiscal challenges remain, presenting an opportunity for meaningful reform. Debt service still significantly crowds out capital expenditure. Non-oil revenue collection is still too low. Oil revenue volatility has not disappeared. Nigeria still has very large deficits financed by heavy borrowing. In other words, a stable Naira makes the existing problems more manageable. Still, it does not fix the underlying revenue-expenditure imbalance or the structural weaknesses in the economy. It should be seen as an opportunity rather than a victory. The government must use this window of relative calm to aggressively grow non-oil revenues, improve spending efficiency, and gradually reduce reliance on borrowing. Stability has bought Nigeria time. The real test is what Nigeria does with that time, which can inspire policymakers and investors with a sense of purpose and urgency. https://x.com/FinPlanKaluAja1/status/2058675480031813641

AN ATTACK ON DEMOCRACY: MY EXPERIENCE AT THE ADC PRIMARY ELECTION VENUE It is with deep concern and a heavy sense of responsibility that I bring to public attention a disturbing incident that occurred today at the venue of the ADC primary elections. I was subjected to an unfortunate and unacceptable attack allegedly carried out by individuals identified as loyalists and political associates of Senator Ireti. What should have been a peaceful, democratic exercise intended to reflect the collective will of party members was instead overshadowed by intimidation, aggression, and acts capable of undermining the sanctity of internal democracy. Let me state clearly: violence, intimidation, and political harassment have no place in our democracy. No aspirant, supporter, or citizen should face threats or attacks for exercising their democratic right to participate in a legitimate political process. This incident goes beyond me as an individual. It is about the future of democracy in the Federal Capital Territory and Nigeria at large. If intimidation becomes a tool of political participation, then the integrity of our electoral system and democratic institutions stands threatened
