Kenneth Okonkwo, a former chieftain of the Labour Party (LP), says President Bola Tinubu will coast to victory in 2027 if the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presents a southern presidential candidate.

Okonkwo, who was the Labour Party (LP) campaign spokesperson in the 2023 elections, spoke on Tuesday during an interview.

He said the opposition coalition must field a northern heavyweight if it is serious about unseating Tinubu.

“My strategy this time around is that I am going to support a northerner in 2027,” he said.

“It must be a northerner that the whole north is willing to support. If the whole north is willing to support an Atiku, why not?

“If the whole north is willing to support a Tambuwal, why not?

“The person must be qualified, and if he has experience in the presidency, it is an added advantage. When he pairs with someone from the south, that will push him through.”

Hmmm, “The truth is that the people of the FCT resent Wike,” she said. “They are not happy with his attitude and his failure to meet their needs.”

Hmmmm, really

“A former president of Nigeria sent someone to tell me not to waste my money on the PDP 2022 primaries because Wike had raised the stakes to $30k per delegate; $30k multiplied by 774 delegates,” he said.

Lifestylecom:
Publisher of Ovation magazine and former presidential candidate, has alleged that Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), paid $30,000 per delegate during the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) 2022 presidential primaries.

Momodu and Wike both contested in the 2022 PDP primaries, where former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar was elected as the party’s flagbearer.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, Momodu said a former Nigerian president had warned him not to contest the primaries, citing the amount of money that Wike was offering delegates.

“A former president of Nigeria sent someone to tell me not to waste my money on the PDP 2022 primaries because Wike had raised the stakes to $30k per delegate; $30k multiplied by 774 delegates,” he said.

“What I expected of him was that if you weren’t going to support a man, if you’re going to run, run a fair race, and let’s leave it there.”

Momodu described Wike’s transformation since becoming the FCT minister as troubling.

“When a man who had been a nobody gets power, he begins to change slowly and steadily,” he said.


He added that Wike, once respectful of Rotimi Amaechi, former minister of transportation, has changed drastically.

“The oppressed man respects only one man: the oppressor. Wike used to respect only one man—Rotimi Amaechi.”

The Ovation magazine publisher also alleged that Wike has developed a heavy drinking habit.

“Wike is consumed by the power he holds. The spirit of power and money is demonic when not managed properly,” Momodu said.

“He drinks early in the morning. He introduced me to Akeshi, a strong alcohol, saying it helps him function. This is someone in public office.

“My appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is that no matter what you are expecting to gain from Wike in 2027, Wike is not the kind of character you should promote; he is not the kind of young man who should hijack our common patrimony,” he added.

The Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Ireti Kingibe, says the people of the nation’s capital will deal with FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike in the coming local government (LG) election in Abuja.

According to her, Wike does not understand the needs of the people and he is not meeting their needs.

“The truth is that the people of the FCT resent Wike,” she said. “They are not happy with his attitude and his failure to meet their needs.”

She said the forthcoming local council elections would serve as a referendum on the minister’s performance in the territory.

“The people will show him who owns the FCT during the council polls,” she added.

Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), has said Nigerians don't really know the personality of the 2023 Labour Party Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi, adding that his supporters are only throwing their weight behind him based on emotions.

The Minister also said that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is on a mission to rescue Nigeria, calling for patience with the president administration.

Wike also said that the coalition leaders are only interested in “rescuing their stomach” and not Nigerians.

The minister urged the Nigerians to be careful of “propaganda and blackmail” from politicians and appealed for patience and continued prayers for the Bola Tinubu-led administration.


He said many of the coalition leaders failed to deliver meaningful results to the country when they had the opportunity to serve, noting that their recent move shows that they cannot stay out of power for a very long time.

Coalition Promoters Have All Had Faulty Relationships In The Past - Ikechukwu

Okey Ikechukwu, Executive Director of Development Specs Academy has said the coalition should prepare for a fight with the APC and President Tinubu, I don't see them as sufficiently strategic to be able to defeat the APC. While the Obidient movement is growing stronger, they must realise there are no polling booths on the Internet. Labour Party must make a distinction between mandatory expenses and discretionary expenses instead of generalising the "we no dey give shishi" mantra.

Also, Ikechukwu said obidients and labour party are wasting time no speech making and self-adulation .

“This government ultimately has been a failure. When you talk about the quality of life, the cost of living, this is the highest cost of living crisis that Nigeria has faced in the last 40 years,” Rhodes-Vivour said on the programme.

He lamented the nation’s security situation, citing thousands of deaths across different regions of the country.

“You look at security: over 10,000 people have died in the North, and about 7,000 people have died in the South. On the international tourism index, we have gone from number 8 to number 6. You can talk of policies all you want, but if people are experiencing hardship, simultaneously, you are renovating the vice president’s residence.

Hmmmm, addressing protesters, JUAC President Rifkatu Iortyer criticised the FCTA for failing to release overhead funds, which she said were crucial for daily operations.

“We cannot work when overhead is not released. Some officials even claim overhead is only for directors. That is false. It is used for office maintenance and work-related needs,” she stated.

Members of the Joint Union Action Committee (JUAC) grounded working activities at the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) by staging a protest over unpaid allowances, unresolved salary issues, and the protracted strike by FCT primary school teachers.

The aggrieved workers barricaded the Minister’s office gate, preventing entry and exit, and demanded the immediate sack of the Chairman of the FCT Civil Service Commission, Emeka Ezeh.

Top on their list of grievances were: unpaid salaries to some categories of workers, withheld wage awards for health workers, delayed overhead releases, non-payment of hazard allowances, and stalled career progression for retiring staff.

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.”

As tensions within the Peoples Democratic Party escalate, former National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, has criticised the Acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, over his comments directed at the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba.

Ologbondiyan condemned Damagum’s action as unacceptable and a direct challenge to the authority of both the National Executive Committee and the National Working Committee, as well as an insult to the sensibilities of party members.

Once Nigeria’s dominant political party, the PDP has continued to grapple with internal crises since its defeat in 2015, which has been marked by leadership wrangling, defections, and unresolved congress disputes across key zones.

Media Personality, Vimbai Ekpenyong has said Alex, Tinubu's Chicago School Mate has shady deals in Zimbabwe, Zambia and not new to Africa.

Fresh controversy has erupted over President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s academic records after he introduced a Belarusian businessman, Alex Zingman, as his former classmate at Chicago State University during a public event in Abuja on Monday, June 23.

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.”

The man, identified as Alex, stood and acknowledged the applause. However, the president’s comment swiftly ignited scrutiny online and among political observers.

Investigations quickly linked the man to Alex Zingman, a Belarusian national allegedly involved in controversial arms deals and financial activities across Africa.
