The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Yobe state on Sunday, November 13, accepted some defectors from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The defectors were received in Kaltungo local government area of Gombe state by the NNPP's governorship candidate in the state, Khamisu Mailantarki.

Mailantarki described the defections of the new party members as a great success and promised them that they will be given a level-playing ground and carried along in all of the NNPP's activities.

Claiming that the APC and the PDP have failed the people, the gubernatorial candidate noted that the NNPP will give them a much better alternative.

Among other things, Mailantarki said:

“Glory be to God for the successes being recorded by the NNPP every day. This is as a result of the good manifestos of the party. That is why more people are trooping to join. Together, we can do it and have a new Gombe State come 2023.”

ABUJA – President Muhammadu Buhari has stated reasons he is yet to campaign for APC's flagbearer for the 2023 Elections, Bola Tinubu, stating that its due to commitments in the office of the President.

But Bu­hari has assured the All Pro­gressives Congress (APC) and its candidates in the elections next year that he is ready at all times to cam­paign for the presidential can­didate, Asiwaju Bola Tinibu, and all party candidates with “full energy and conviction.”


This is to dispel expressed concerns in certain quarters that the president has not fea­tured in campaigns since the national launch in Jos, Plateau State, and to stress that while he remains committed to party politics, the functions and duties of the president will equally be upheld at all times.

Speaking to the Nigerian community in Washington DC in the course of his recent visit to the United States, President Buhari stressed what he said all the time that he is ready to cam­paign for the party’s victory in the general elections next year.

The president noted that the APC campaigns have so far been the most aggressive in recent history.

“They have been impressive and of a high voltage,” compared to the opposition that seems to be playing catch-up.

The development he did in Lagos, no state in your region will ever be at Lagos level in the next 1000 years

lhordspy:
Angry youth?

When it is against Tinubu, it is always angry youth or angry Nigerians. But when it is against Labour party memebers or properties, it is political thugs or assassinators.

Bunch of jokers.

Yet to see the chances of tinubu winning grin

The powers that be are not supporting him
The Nigerian youths with the largest population are not supporting him
Afenifere is not supporting him
Educated elites are not supporting him
The south where he comes from are not supporting him.
His party members aside urchins and paid sycophants are not supporting him.
His fellow contestants at the primaries are silent about supporting him.

Where does tinubu hope to get votes to win the election from.

May their souls rest in perfect peace.

Some Fulani youths from Northern Nigeria on Tuesday drummed support for the presidential ambition of a former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, on the platform of the Labour Party.

The youths who said the Fulani would no longer vote along ethnic and religious lines, said they decided to support Obi because of his leadership qualities.

The Fulani youths from the 19 Northern States and Abuja made their position known during a meeting with Igbo Elders Consultative Forum led by elder statesman, Chukwuemeka Ezeife.

During the meeting, the Fulani youths presented a document containing their demands to the former Chairman of Police Service Commission, Chief Simon Okeke, who chaired the meeting.

The leader of the delegation,
Ibrahim Abdullahi, said the decision to support Obi was to reinvent the alliance between the North and South East as witnessed in the First and second Republics.

Abdullahi said, “The current president is our Kinsman but we have come to realise from experience that you don’t need to have someone from your tribe or faith as president before your lives improve. What we need is somebody that is patriotic, honest, just and fair. In Nigeria, Fulani are no longer after tribal or religious sentiments.

“We are looking for a leader that is capable of taking Nigeria to the promise land. We have realised that these two tribes, Fulani and Igbo hold 99 per cent of the corporate existence of Nigeria. The Igbos have the control of over 80 per cent of the commercial activities in the country while the Fulanis control 99 per cent of livestock we have. Igbos and Fulani coming together to work for the good of Nigeria will be the best.

“You should also know that this is not the first time. The alliance between the two ethnic groups in the First and Second Republics brought prosperity to the country. Though, we are still licking the wound of civil war and course, we have offended ourselves but we are doing this to bring about the much needed healing.”

The IECF chairman and former governor of Anambra State, Chief Chukwuemeka Ezeife, described Obi as true unifier who will banish poverty, insecurity, and all the negatives associated with Nigeria.

While responding to the comment made by Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo on Obi’s chances, Ezeife said everybody cannot support Obi’s presidential bid.

Soludo had dismissed the chances of Obi in 2023 and criticized the style of Ndigbo in its quest for the country’s number one seat in an article titled, ‘History beckons and I will not be silent.’

The article drew mixed reactions across the country and particularly on social media, where Soludo was heavily criticised.

Ezeife said, “If Peter Obi becomes president, in the next two years, our sons and daughters abroad will begin to think of coming back home.

“God has his hand in Obi’s movement. I. Know him very well. Many years I left as a governor, I saw him at airport carrying his own luggage. He insisted that public fund must be use for public good.

“Then, as we are here, if all of us (Igbos) are saying the same thing, it will look somehow. We are happy to hear that some might not be supporting him, but that doesn’t mean anything. I know that 99 per cent of the people are for Obi.”

Obaofaba:
That's Obi's campaign tactics.

Nothing to campaign with.

I'm so ashamed to share same country with this people.

It’s almost becoming a trend that Asiwaju will suffer a gaffe in his political campaign meetings. A current video trending online has shown how Asiwaju has made an obvious error while speaking to the Youths in the meeting, he said, ”No more ASUU strike, four years course for four years jobs, seven years course for seven jobs.”

Political activist and campaigner, Aisha Yesufu has reacted to a viral video which had the vehicle of the campaign team of the All Progressive Congress, APC, presidential aspirant, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, being attacked by residents of Lapai, in Niger State.

It would be recalled that APC was in the state a few days ago for its presidential rally.

However, a video that has been shared online has captured how residents in the state engaged in a fight with members of Asiwaju’s Campaign team.

The team was in a vehicle when the residents crossed the vehicle and began to shout ” Bamayi” which means ” we are not doing “

In the video, they could be seen indulging in a physical fight.

Reacting to the action portrayed by the residents, Aisha said the will of the people should be allowed to prevail.
