Senator representing Edo North Senatorial District, Adams Oshiomhole, has urged leaders not to discourage hope, saying that while the past and present aren’t ideal, the gap between where we are and where we want to be should inspire us to keep striving.

“And I can speak with authority when I say that when you dismiss in a very sweeping manner that the country is hopeless, the system is impossible, so we should begin to cry? “

Speaking to journalists from the Senate Press Corps in Abuja on Tuesday, Kalu said the growing support for Tinubu is rooted in his bold leadership style and the transformative policies of his administration.

“The endorsements are not out of fear. They are a show of confidence in President Tinubu’s leadership,” Kalu stated, adding that the All Progressives Congress (APC) remains unshaken by talk of coalitions.

Reactions have trailed Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom comment as he directed all commissioners and political appointees to defect with him from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) or resign from their positions. Eno said it was no longer news that he had decided to defect to the APC.

“Anybody who claims he is not aware of my intention to leave PDP is still living in the 18th century, “Eno stated. The Governor reportedly gave the directive to Commissioners and his political appointees during the ongoing state Executive Council Meeting taking place in Uyo on Thursday, according to sources from the meeting.

According to Governor Eno, he has admired President Bola Tinubu from a distance and would want to align with him. He warned his appointees that he had nothing to negotiate with them than for them to follow him or leave the stage.

“Apart from elected officials like House of Assembly members and Local Government Chairmen, I have nothing to negotiate with you.

“Let me tell you, anybody who believes when I leave PDP, he will use the party structure to fight me is lying because I will still control the PDP structure”, the source quoted Eno as saying.

Many sources have confirmed that Eno would likely jettison PDP on June 6, bringing to an end more than 25 years of the party being in power in Akwa Ibom State.

The LP standard bearer, who spoke amid cheers from the gathering, said Northern Nigeria has more potential than all these countries but noted that what is lacking is good governance, good policies, and implementation.

The former Anambra State governor also called for urgent investment in education as a long-term solution to insecurity and underdevelopment.

“The more you pull people out of poverty, the more you solve insecurity. We need to invest in education,” Obi stressed. “Our children are not in school. I’ve sat with Almajiri children—they are some of the most brilliant minds God created. If they can’t go to school, take the school to them.”

Despite the challenges facing the country, Obi expressed hope that Nigeria can be reformed with the right leadership and targeted investment.

PDP CRISIS: MY POSITION

1. Since after the 2023 General election, the PDP has been wantonly swinging from one part of a slippery precipice to another, owing fundamentally to dishonesty and lack of trust amongst its key stakeholders. To stem this ugly trend, efforts have been made to arrest this pernicious virus of dishonesty and treachery and enthrone fidelity to agreements with a view to stabilizing the party and moving it forward.

2. To this end, a meeting of the G5 was held in Lagos. In that meeting, I made it clear to the Governor of Oyo State, HE. Seyi Makinde, that he was the architect of our problems, pointing out to him that non-adherence to agreements reached was the bane of the party, and that he was the chief culprit of this anomaly. At the end of the meeting, we resolved to bury the hatchet and make progress.

3. As a follow-up to the aforementioned meeting, there was an expanded meeting in Abuja involving HE. Seyi Makinde, HE. Umaru Fintri, HE. Bala Mohammed, HE, Bukola Saraki, and I in Saraki’s guest house. In that meeting, I made it clear that I had no personal problems with HE. Bala Mohammed, except that he hides under the facade of Chairman of PDP Governors Forum to serially renege on agreements. Tensions rose mightily in the meeting and it took all concerned to calm frayed nerves. At the end of the meeting, we came to some resolutions, including:
a. That Senator Samuel Anyanwu remains the National Secretary of the PDP in tandem with the Supreme Court judgement.
b. All legal matters relating to Rivers State must be withdrawn by the National Legal Adviser.
c. The suit on the State of emergency be withdrawn forthwith.
d. Nobody should deviate from the agreements so reached.

In the light of the foregoing, they pleaded with me to attend the stakeholders’ meeting at the Bauchi Government Lodge, regardless of my many engagements. I attended the meeting and clearly reiterated my earlier concerns, and to this end and in order to resolve all other lingering and pending issues, a committee was formed, headed by HE. Bukola Saraki.

4. It is disheartening to note that even before the Bukola Saraki Reconciliation Committee began its work, the gentleman’s agreement we reached at Saraki’s Guest House was already being crudely violated. To my chagrin, Seyi Makinde had connived with Peter Mba of Enugu State to orchestrate the summoning of the meeting of so-called South-East leaders to recommend that if Ude Okoye was not adopted as Secretary, they would pull out of the PDP. I have since granted an interview to the effect that, that resolution of the South-East leaders can not hold.

Again, Seyi Makinde organized some people in the National Secretariat to insist that the Deputy National Secretary should act as National Secretary, in violation of the agreement earlier reached. To attempt to give credence to this farce, a letter was written by the Deputy National Secretary, calling for a meeting of the NEC of the party. Furthermore, the letter confirming the candidacy of the Governorship candidate of the party in the forthcoming Governorship elections in Anambra State, duly signed by the National Secretary, Senator Anyanwu and the acting National Chairman, was portrayed as rejected by the party through a rebuttal letter signed by the National Publicity Secretary, acting on the orders of Seyi Makinde and Peter Mba. All these actions are in complete violation of the agreements reached and would not do the party any good whatsoever. On the 24th of May 2025, in Jos, for instance, a well publicized and properly attended zonal elective congress of the PDP was aborted because the letter inviting INEC to the congress was signed by the Deputy National Secretary of the party. INEC refused to attend because the proper signatory recognized by law, that is Senator Samuel Anyanwu was not a signatory to the invitation notice. This is undeniably distasteful, provocative and annoying, to say the least.

. I have painstakingly put out all these facts so that PDP members and the general public would know the truth. I have been in this party since 1998 and have worked tirelessly for the survival of this party with all my strength and it is on record that none of these persons have done anything close to what I have done to sustain this party. What is more painful is that I contributed substantially to most of these governors winning their elections, yet I have not made any personal demands on any of them and I would never do so.

Most importantly, I had thought that we could keep the trust amongst us, but since it is now obvious that they would continue to play games to the detriment of the party, as is the case in the current debacle in the North-Central zonal elections, I have now firmly decided to pull out of all agreements hitherto reached. I have decided to fight on until justice is attained.

Gospel singer, Timilehin Ajayi, who was arrested for allegedly killing and dismembering his 24-year-old girlfriend, Salome Adaidu, a member of the National Youth Service Corps, has been spotted praying in court.

A video shared by AIT on Tuesday revealed Ajayi praying with his eyes shut.

He was reportedly in court for the continuation of his trial over the demise of Salome.

Recall that Ajayi was apprehended earlier in January by churchgoers in Orozo, a community bordering the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, and Nasarawa State after he was found carrying a polybag containing the severed head of Adaidu.
