Supreme Court Ruling Created More Confusion For PDP On Anyanwu's Case - Saraki

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwdgzJMDlyA

Former Senate President and Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Reconciliation Committee, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has warned that the worst of defections from the party is yet to come, but maintained that the PDP remains committed to rebuilding and repositioning itself for the 2027 general elections.

He also cleared the air on the unresolved position of the party’s National Secretary, saying, “As far as (INEC is) concerned, the person that they see as a secretary, as of today, is Senator Sam Anyanwu.”

As head of the reconciliation committee, Saraki said the team has not failed and is laying groundwork for unity and structure. “Until this point, none of us had accepted any secretary. We’re starting the process of doing the right thing. So if we can address the issue of the secretary, then we can go to NEC, then go to convention, and then hopefully at convention we will have a newly elected executive.”

He also saw opportunity in the ongoing turmoil. “Those that want to leave, let them leave. Maybe it’s an opportunity… those who are staying, clearly they’re staying, they’re very committed. Let’s use this opportunity to start to rebuild for the future,” Saraki said.


Looking ahead, Saraki confirmed that the PDP is already preparing to field a strong presidential candidate. “Exactly. We are thinking to ensure that we have a credible, serious candidate… We’re not yet at home, but we’re laying foundation to make PDP a good and attractive platform.”

Although the circumstances surrounding his resignation was not clear as of press time, a top party official simply told Vanguard, "yes, it is true. He has resigned".

Speaking at the launch of the Renewed Hope Agriculture Mechanisation Programme, President Tinubu pointed to a man in the crowd, stating, “To all of you, Alex was my very good neighbor, and went to the same school with me in Chicago. Never did we dream that I would be in this position as President of Nigeria and Alex, a successful businessman from Belarus.”

Media Personality Ruben Abati has said that the then Governor Bola Tinubu, now President of Nigeria, was made Lagos Governor in recognition of his June 12 struggles.

Recall that Sule Lamido, a former governor of Jigawa state, claimed President Bola Tinubu threw his weight behind the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election.

Lamido said Tinubu’s late mother, Hajia Mogaji organized market women from Lagos to Abuja to show support for the then head of state, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida.

He said he feels highly entertained by Tinubu’s rhetoric and the way he’s dramatising his role in Nigeria’s democracy, hence his decision to make the bold statement about the President’s involvement in the June 12 annulment.

Defend the decision of your party and your government with the examples of how lives of Nigerians have been better.

- APC spokesperson, Felix Muoka had this to say...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rERN030eFPA

Former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, has revealed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu threw his weight behind Gen. Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida’s decision to annul the June 12, 1993, election won by the late Moshood Abiola.

In an exclusive interview with AriseNews on Sunday morning, Lamido stated that he feels highly entertained by Tinubu’s rhetoric and the way he’s dramatising his role in Nigeria’s democracy, hence his decision to make the bold statement about the President’s involvement in the June 12 annulment.

He stated that President Tinubu was in the Senate as the secretary of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), after which he became more prominent and noticeable in Nigeria’s politics following the takeover of the government by the late Gen. Sani Abacha.

”I feel highly entertained by Tinubu’s rhetoric, the way he’s dramatising his role in Nigeria’s democracy. Tinubu became relevant and noticeable after Abacha took over the government; before then, he was in the senate while he was the secretary of the party. He was part of those who supported IBB’s annulment of the June 12 election.

”His mother, Hajia Mogaji, was organising Lagos market women to come to Abuja to pledge support for Babangida. Tinubu was actively hand-in-glove with Babangida. NADECO was postulated to fight Abacha, not for June 12,” Lamido revealed.

Last month, Lamido also charged President Tinubu to be courageous enough and pay the alleged N45 billion owed to the family of Chief MKO Abiola by the federal government. He believed that paying the 45 billion debt to the family would offer symbolic closure to the June 12 struggle and acknowledge Abiola’s unjust treatment.

“When General Murtala Muhammed died, Abiola came in with a claim that he was owed, I think, about N45bn for contracts executed by International Telephone and Telecommunication for the Ministry of Communications. The military high command at that time said no. He went around the emirs in the North to lobby, and the emirs asked that they, the military, please pay the money.

“They said they cancelled the June 12 elections because if they made him president, he would take his money and the country would become bankrupt. Those who were close to Abacha should know this because Abacha was then one of the big shots; they were all aware.

”I want to appeal to President Tinubu to finally close the chapter on June 12. In his book, General Ibrahim Babangida acknowledged that Abiola won the election. When I visited him, he also confirmed that Abiola is owed N45 billion. He was doubly punished: first, denied the presidency, second, denied what is owed to him,” Lamido said.

According to Gen. Yakubu Gowon, Former Head of State, "I had a responsibility and duty as a loyal Nigerian to keep the country whole. From the beginning, I ensured that this was not a war against Igbos as such, but one to stop the breaking up of Nigeria. I gave a code of conduct of how the operations were to go; soldiers on the Nigerian side were to protect the people, especially women and children, and take up arms only against those who had taken arms against them. The number of people who were casualties of the war is not in millions. The other side also refused all attempts to send aid into their camp."

Democracy Is A Journey, Believe in INEC - Tinubu Urges Nigerians

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJljnI8TmYc

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has said the construction of the new National Headquarters Annex of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Abuja is more than just a physical development project, it is a bold reaffirmation of Nigeria’s commitment to democracy and electoral integrity.

Speaking at the ground-breaking ceremony in the Federal Capital Territory on Tuesday, Tinubu described the edifice as a symbolic and strategic investment in the nation’s democratic future.

He said, “I stand before you today to flag up the construction of a new national office, the INEC of the Headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission, right here in Abuja. Today’s ceremony is not merely about bricks and mortar, it is about the strength of our democracy, the independence of our institutions, and the future of our electoral integrity.

“INEC has been and remains the backbone of Nigeria’s democratic journey. Its role in conducting free, fair, and credible elections is central to the trust our people place in their government and in our democratic process. For this reason, it is only right that such a pivotal institution is housed in a structure that reflects the dignity, responsibility, and national significance of that institution.”
