Former Presidential Candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, speaking on President Bola Tinubu's performance so far has said "The Nigerian people are worse than they were a few months ago."

"I don't know him well enough to know that he is competent. I know him as a politician who knows his way around manipulating people," he claims.

Planned Coalition Will Him Return Ticket

Justnation:
I see wike disappointing tinubu very soon.
Wike is unreliable, he is a games man strategically keeping foot in PDP so that he can easily mend fences and reintegrate into the fold ones he starts roforofo fight with tinubu.
Take it to the bank, tinubu's recent rapport with fugbara is annoying wike and he is plotting and waiting for the right time to strike and spoil things for tinubu as he did to Atiku

The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons said it is considering ‘further actions’ following a summons letter sent to Nigerian entertainer, Darlington Okoye, known as Speed Darlington, to appear at its headquarters in Abuja on Friday for questioning.

Darlington set social media ablaze on Tuesday after claiming he had once slept with a 15-year-old virgin.

Head of the Cybercrime Response Team, Ngamaraju Mangzha, in a letter to the entertainer on Wednesday, requested that the singer appear at NAPTIP’s Wuse Zone 5 office at 9:00 am on Friday.

However, the agency said it will take ‘further actions’ if the entertainer fails to appear for the investigation.

“Mr. Darlington Okoye (AKA Speed Darlington) is urged to respond to the official invitation issued on May 28, 2025, regarding a viral video and others in which he admitted to sexually abusing a minor. Failure to respond may lead to further action,” NAPTIP wrote in a post on X on Thursday after sharing a copy of the summons letter.

Meanwhile reactions have trailed the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP)'s invitation of singer, Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington Akpi, for questioning over alleged raped of a minor in a hotel in Lagos.

The invitation followed a formal notification to the agency by the Lagos State government on the alleged crime by the singer.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has filed fresh criminal charges against former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Godwin Emefiele.

In the eight-count charge submitted at the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja, EFCC accused Emefiele of acquiring an estate comprising 753 housing units in Lokogoma District, Abuja.

According to the commission, the estate sits on Plot 109, Cadastral Zone C09, and spans over 150,000 square meters.

EFCC said Emefiele, in collaboration with Eric Ocheme, who is currently at large, purchased the estate in August 2021.

Without naming the supposed original owner, the commission had earlier secured a court order to seize the entire estate. The property has since been handed over to the federal government.

Billions allegedly stashed in proxy accounts over the years

In addition to the estate acquisition, the anti-graft agency alleged that Emefiele kept billions of naira in proxy accounts.

Between 2019 and 2022, EFCC traced a total of over N6 billion to various accounts allegedly controlled by Emefiele and Ocheme.

These include Zenith Bank accounts under the names of Kelvito Integrated Services and Ifedigo Integrated Services.

The EFCC said that Emefiele stashed N1.23 billion in one account in 2020 and another N2.95 billion in 2021.

In 2022, he and his co-conspirator allegedly held N1.98 billion in the same account. Additionally, N900 million and N600 million were kept in other accounts reasonably suspected to contain funds obtained through fraudulent means.

More charges and ongoing trials raise Emefiele’s legal woes

Emefiele’s legal troubles have grown since his arrest in June 2023 following his removal from office by President Bola Tinubu.

He is currently facing multiple corruption-related charges in both Lagos and Abuja. These include criminal conspiracy, breach of trust, and unauthorized foreign exchange transactions totaling $2 billion.

In the latest charge, EFCC accuses him of forging a legal document titled “Irrevocable Power of Attorney” in 2021 to misrepresent business dealings between MG Properties Limited and H and Y Business Global Limited.

Prosecutors claim this action violates several sections of Nigeria’s Penal Code.

The EFCC has called 24 witnesses to testify about Emefiele’s involvement in the estate acquisition.

The witnesses are expected to tender documents showing the former CBN chief’s role in developing the seized property.

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.

Drawing an inference from some successful agrarian nations like Bangladesh, the Netherlands, and others.

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.
