Mbanda:
The difference between NBA and supreme court judges is that supreme court judges made themselves government puppets which is not suppose to be so. While NBA has proven to be an independent body.

House of assembly members and the senate are the legislative body in government but today, they now dine and wine with the executive to the extent that, the executive is not afraid of them anymore. They are now more of a puppet than a respectable legislative body. So you see, the bodies you mentioned are nothing to write home about because of the way they gave their birth rights to the executive which is the government of the day.

TVC News Nigeria is a 24-hour Nigeria news crew, particularly Arsenal fans seen celebrating the Premier League club's win against Real Madrid.

Bukayo Saka had a penalty saved before scoring the opener as Arsenal reached the Champions League semi-finals with an assured display in Madrid.

Arsenal completed a 5-1 aggregate win over holders Real Madrid to end their 16-year wait for a Champions League semi-final appearance, Bukayo Saka recovering from having an early penalty saved to put the visitors on their way to a confident victory.

While Arsenal named an unchanged side from their 3-0 first-leg win in London, Madrid restored Aurélien Tchouaméni after a ban - replacing the suspended Eduardo Camavinga - and brought in Lucas Vázquez for Luka Modrić, allowing Federico Valverde to advance to midfield.

If the visitors' selection reflected a desire to continue where they left off, their bright start answered that wish. Key creative presence Bukayo Saka proved their greatest threat, arrowing a fierce shot wide before forcing Thibaut Courtois to beat his drive from distance away.

Saka's best chance of the half would arrive shortly afterwards when Raúl Asencio was adjudged to have impeded Mikel Merino inside the penalty area, only for Courtois to turn the England international's chipped penalty behind and revive the chants of belief emanating from home fans who had been used to seeing their side secure sensational comebacks in the competition.

Canny Arsenal stopped Madrid from producing an attempt on target during the first half, testing Courtois again with the break approaching when Rice - scorer of two superb free-kicks during the first leg - fed Gabriel Martinelli inside the box on the left, the recipient responding with a powerful shot that stung the No1's palms at his near post.

The holders made David Raya make a save when Vinícius Júnior curled a strike into the goalkeeper's arms but Arsenal's continuing comfort level tempted Blancos manager Carlo Ancelotti to enact a triple substitution, including the introduction of 18-year-old striker Endrick.

Four minutes later, Arsenal had their fourth goal of the tie and Saka a measure of redemption courtesy of a slick move started by the forward, who set off inside the penalty area to collect Mikel Merino's pass and chip a composed finish beyond Courtois following a beautiful exchange between Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard.

Aliyu, a former Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, said Buhari did not endorse former Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai’s defection from the APC to the Social Democratic Party (SDP). He said El-Rufai should not bring down the roof because he did not get a ministerial appointment.

Aliyu, however, urged the APC leadership to engage all blocs within the ruling party to whittle competition and strife before the next poll.

“Politics is about engagement. Politics is about the interests of groups, people, and so on. That is what we are saying: engage more; not only with people from the defunct CPC, but even from the PDP. So that in 2027, there will be less competition,” the Jigawa powerbroker said.

Aliyu said the APC won’t “just sit by and allow” the Atiku Abubakar-led coalition “to take over the government”. “They are strange bedfellows,” he said, adding that the selection of a presidential candidate would thwart the Atiku coalition.

Were u the one that drafted the agreement??
Didn't u hear when Rufai said NBA clearly stated there was no binding agreement?? Let Fubara come out & say there is a binding agreement. It is not the position of the sole administrator to decide.

Dele Momodu, a chieftain of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), has said the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, would have become a Nobody in Nigerian politics after his tenure as two time Governor of Rivers state, but for Tinubu's appointment.

He also described former President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari as the biggest brand of APC, warning the ruling party on how to deal with him.

onatisi:
This man is an hypocrite ,liar and a betrayer. From all indications he has the interest of Tinubu at heart . How can anyone talk of reconciliation in PDP and talk of making PDP a string opposition party when Wike is still in the party . Wike that controls majority of PDP senators and governors and they listened to him during the last elections . The same Wike has said that he is going to work and ensure that Tinubu wins again in 2027 , so the same Seyi makinde that worked for tinubu to emerge as the president when Tinubu didn't have any presidential powers will now work against Tinubu in 2027 when Tinubu is the sitting president ?
This old man knows the truth but he will never never rebuke Wike . As long as Wike remains in PDP ,PDP will work for Tinubu or at worst present a weak candidate .
They know that some PDP members will leave for other parties and this will in turn make PDP weaker .

He revealed that their camaraderie extended to the period when Ndume was eyeing the Senate presidency. According to Bwala, Ndume made efforts to enlist his support.

“When he wanted to become Senate President, Ndume sent somebody to come and speak with me—that he wanted to come and see me. Honourable Kumalia is alive [to confirm this]. I said no problem. He came to my chambers and sat for two hours waiting for me. That is how our relationship was,” Bwala narrated.

However, Bwala said things took a different turn after he met with the President on January 10, 2024. He claimed that was the moment Ndume became uncomfortable with his proximity to the seat of power.

“There is no record anywhere that I have ever had an issue with Ali Ndume until January 10, 2024, when I met with Mr President, and everything changed,” Bwala explained.

He alleged that Ndume began spreading false narratives about a supposed plot to replace him as Senator for Southern Borno District of Borno State.

“He started going about telling people that they wanted to replace him with me in Southern Borno because he could not get access to see the President,” Bwala stated. “He would go to media houses to speak about me. We would hold meetings and the rest.”

The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has opened up about the genesis of his strained relationship with the Senator representing Borno South in the Senate, Mohammed Ali Ndume.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s ‘Sunday Politics’, monitored by our correspondent on Sunday night, Bwala recounted the history of their once cordial relationship and how it soured following his meeting with President Bola Tinubu in 2024.

“Ali Ndume and I were wonderful,” Bwala said. “When former Senate President Saraki was dealing with him, Ali Ndume came to me for help, and I played my part in supporting him because he is a Senator from my district.”

He revealed that their camaraderie extended to the period when Ndume was eyeing the Senate presidency. According to Bwala, Ndume made efforts to enlist his support.
