2027: Tinubu Can’t Lose When He Has Men Like Yari, Orji Kalu, Ganduje, Ibori Backing Him —Lamido

Pioneer Leader of Arewa Summit International, Dr Bashir Lamido has ruled out possibility of the incumbent President Ahmed Bola Tinubu loosing re-election in 2027.

He said the quality of political heavyweights in support of the president’s re-election would make it practically impossible for Tinubu to lose re-election

Fielding questions from newsmen at the sideline of Abuja Expo" and "Ruhe Global Resources International Education Fair held on Wednesday in Abuja, Lamido named Abdul'aziz Yari, Orji Uzor Kalu, Abdullahi Ganduje and James Ibori as prominent politicians whose cooperation with Tinubu will undermine the opposition and guarantee victory for APC.

He questioned the opposition coalition movement’s capacity in forming an undivided coalition ahead of 2027 presidential elections

According to Lamido, “ When you talk of the possibility of the coalition wrestling power from the ruling party, I think you should also ask yourself a pertinent question, can they agree together? The major opposition platforms, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP), are seriously entangled in intense internal wrangling. Does the Social Democratic Party (SDP) have the prospects to lead coalition ahead of 2027 ? “ he questioned

Speaking further, he asked “ Who will fly the ticket ? Is it Atiku Abubakar or Peter Obi ? Is it Nasir El-rufai or Yemi Osinbajo? Is it Rotimi Amaechi or Bukola Saraki? adding that all of them have presidential ambitions and are not ready to relinquish their interest for another.

“But you see,” he continued, “ Tinubu is very smart and strategic. At a time people were thinking that Senator Abdul'aziz Yari, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu and Chief James Ibori were going to join opposition and work together to unseat president. I learnt that Nasir El-Rufai tried all he could to sow discord between the president and Abdullahi Ganduje by sending him to Saudi Arabia on Ambassadorial duty. Today, the President has closed ranks with them and they are his very reliable allies. The four of them are presidential materials but have already endorsed the president. The president cannot lose when he has men like them. “ he said

Explaining further, he said, “ the coalition are yet to take a stand, meanwhile the president’s men are already watering the ground. Yari is engaged with heavy empowerment in the North, Kalu is doing same in the South and even extension to the North likewise others. A Presidential source once mentioned they meet with the president regularly. So there is direction and purpose and events are being streamlined for victory.”

On Tinubu’s economic performance, Lamido lamented that the president’s key reforms are inflicting hardship on ordinary Nigerians, many of whom are already facing harsh living conditions”. he said

He however argued that the hardship is inevitable especially in the short term but maintained that in the long run, the economy will be more robust and stable.

Farewell Chief Dubem Onyia..

I received with sadness the sudden departure of an illustrious son of Igbo land, a gentle politician, a parliamentarian and a diplomat, Chief Dubem Onyia, Ex-Honorable Minister of state for Foreign Affairs.

Chief Onyia's death, remains a moment of profound loss for Igbo nation and Nigeria in general, and a reminder of the rare breed of leaders who lived not for personal gain but for the greater good of the nation. He was a statesman of unshakable conviction, a counselor to many, a voice of reason in the face of political turbulence, and a relentless advocate for justice, fairness, and democracy. His entire life was dedicated to service and the fight for a Nigeria built on truth, equity, and inclusion.

While many politicians always play the ethnic card in leadership, Chief Dubem Onyia has always stood firm on principle over tribe, competence over loyalty, and accountability over political gamesmanship. His voice of reasoning was always loud and clear on critical issues, defying age, defying intimidation, and inspiring the new generation to believe that integrity in leadership was still possible.

May the Almighty God accept his gentle soul and grant him eternal rest while comforting his immediate family, friends and political allies.

Rest In Peace, Chief Dubem Onyia.

Sen. Kalu Mourns Demise Of Former Minister Of State For Foreign Affairs, Chief Dubem Onyia.

He Expressed Sadly:

"The news of Chief Dubem Onyia’s passing is heartbreaking. He was a highly respected statesman who played a vital role in strengthening Nigeria’s international engagements and promoting national unity. His contributions as Minister of State for Foreign Affairs (1999-2003) and in various strategic capacities will not be forgotten".

"Onyia was a seasoned diplomat, astute politician, and dedicated patriot who contributed immensely to Nigeria’s foreign relations and national development".

"Onyia, who served as Chairman of several key international commissions, including the National Boundary Commission and the São Tomé and Príncipe Joint Boundary Commission, was a trustee of the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Foundation and a recipient of numerous national and international honors".

"I extend my condolences to Onyia’s family, the government and good people of Enugu State led by His Excellency, Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah and the diplomatic community, praying for the repose of his soul".

Sen. Natasha's Suspension: OUK Moves For Empathy For Her Aids..

During the plenary leading to the suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti, Senator Kalu moved for the amendment of the section that recommends the withholding of the Salaries and wages of the staff of Senator Natasha on the grounds of empathy.

This was part of the recommendations of the commitee which was read on the floor of the Senate.

Kalu said....

"We cannot punish the aids of Senator Natasha for an offence they did not commit, they are staff of the NASS and they have no other farm or means of livelihood apart from the salaries they earn from the Senate and at such it will be wrong for us as a Senate to deny them and their families their salaries"

"I move that we should please amend that section and allow them to earn their salaries"

Why Always Senator Akpabio.

In July 2020, Joy Nunieh, former Acting Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), claimed she slapped Akpabio, who was then the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, for sexually assaulting her.

“Why did he not tell Nigerians that I slapped him in his guest house at Apo? I am the only Ogoni woman, the only Nigerian woman that has slapped him. I slapped him because of his plan B. Since he couldn’t get me to take that money, he thought that he could come up on me,” while entertaining questions on an Arise TV programme at the time.

“He didn’t know that I’m a Port Harcourt girl. Port Harcourt girls are not moved by money…by somebody telling me that he will make me the substantive MD. Akpabio’s meetings with me were either at Apo or Meridien…Yes, I am accusing him of sexual harassment.”he said

My Problem In The Senate Started When I Refused S£xual Advances Of Senator Akpabio —Senator Natasha Reveals.

Many people do not know what I’m about to say, and I’m going to speak my truth while the Senate President is allowed to counter it.

“It all started on December 8, 2023, a day before my birthday and his. We were all in Akwa Ibom, and he held my hand, saying he wanted to show me around his house. My husband was walking behind us.

“I noticed that he hastened his pace while still holding my hand, and then he got to a particular sitting room and said, ‘Do you like my house?’ I said, ‘Of course, sir, every room is beautiful.’ He then said, ‘Now that you are a senator, I’m going to create time for us to come and spend quality moments here—you will enjoy it.’

“When I turned to look at my husband to see if he had heard that or not, the Senate President also turned and said, ‘Let me show you my chapel as well.’

“That evening, we left his house at about 11 PM, and my husband asked what the Senate President told me. I wondered whether I should tell him what the Senate President said about bringing me there to ‘have a good time’ or if I should just let it go because I knew how much my husband adored him”

“My case is a case of a Student being Punished by her Lecturer For Refusing to Sleep with him”she said.

Sen Kalu Says Tinubu will Win second Term , declares IBB's account of June 12 incomplete

Chairman of the South-East Development Commission ( SEDC ),Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has expressed confidence that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will complete his two terms in office considering the level of successes he recorded in bold economic, social and political policies.

The Abia-North Lawmaker stated this on Tuesday while fielding questions from the Senate Journalists, who ambushed him at the lobby of the National Assembly.

Among other responses, the former Senate Chief Whip faulted narrative of the annulled June 12, 1993 Presidential election given by the former military president Ibrahim Babangida in his autobiography, ‘A Journey in Service describing IBB'S account as incomplete.

According to the former Abia Governor Babangida failed to mention the names of the Principal Actors that led to the annulment of the election widely adjudged freest, fairest, and most credible poll in the history of the country, that Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, popularly known as MKO Abiola, was the winner.

Giving more reasons why believed that President Tinubu will win a second term in office in 2027, Kalu pointed out that the ruling Party the All Progressives Congress ( APC ) remains firm in its decision to cede its 2027 Presidential Ticket to Tinubu in line with the zoning arrangement to maintain a North-South power balance.

Additionally Kalu mentioned the economic reform Policies of the President which he said iis already delivering positive economic results.

Using the Manufacturing sector as an example Kalu stated that the cost of production had reduced to 18.5 percent from 23 percent which it was last year.

He said; " The good news is that we shall win again and President Tinubu will return.

"To be honest with you Asiwaju will win, many Presidents in Nigeria who have not done very well—I won't call any names and they won their second term. We are appealing to Nigerians to support us.

"We are not going to ruffle ourselves with the APC convention. We have only one Presidential candidate which is Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

"In line with democratic ethics we are not looking for any other person or candidate but the problem of Nigeria is that you people don't like to consolidate gains of reforms.

Asking Nigerians to exercise more patience with the administration, Kalu said the stability in the exchange rate is also another indication that the President's reforms are yielding positive results.

"It might be very difficult today, very hard and people are complaining but the reform is trickling down, somebody just told me this morning that the Dollar is 1490, so the reform is working but we should be patient.

"I am a manufacturer and I can tell you that Manufacturing costs have gone up, last year it was 23 percent but early this year it has gone down to about 18.5 percent. You can confirm from the LCCI what I am giving you is the real fact.

"I believe that there is hope in these reforms. It is difficult everywhere in the world but the most important thing is that initially they were done in a hurry now the President is taking time with his economic team and you can see that the President is making wilder consultations.

Speaking on a recent Book released by former Military president Ibrahim Babangida, Kalu stressed that he anticipates a second edition as the Autobiography failed to capture the entire events that led the annulment of the June 12, 1993 Presidential elections.

Though Kalu appreciated the President for admitting that Moshood Abiola was the true winner of the election, he however said that the former Military president ought to have mentioned the names of those behind the annulment including the courageous role played by the then National Electoral Commission (NEC), Humphrey Nwosu.

He said; "Ibrahim Babangida is my Master and everybody knows and I am going to visit him very soon and discuss with him.

"I am waiting for the second edition. The first edition did not reveal all the realities of what happened, especially when it concerns Humprey Nwosu and INEC.

Babangida should tell us , not only Abacha, he should mention names of those who stopped him from declaring Abiola as the winner.

"I was there and I know what happened, he published a second edition and mentioned their names and Nigerians will know what really happened.

Kalu also thanked Babangida for erasing the false narrative that the Igbo Tribe orchestrated the 1966 coup events that led to the military mutiny that ousted the then civilian administration led by Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa.

"Because people are thinking that Babangida lied but I am very grateful the coup they called Igbo coup has been clarified , although I don't need Babangida to tell me that the Coup was not executed by the Igbos , that is why I am a true Nigerian.

"That coup was a Nigerian coup planned and executed by the Military and some people failed to do their job and their Igbos are bearing the brunt and that is not fair to the Igbos.

Following the confession of Ibrahim Babangida, Kalu appealed to President Tinubu to accord the Late Presidential Candidate Moshood Abiola full Presidential honours.

Kalu urged Tinubu to swear in Abiol as the duly elected President of the June 12 , 1993 Presidential election in Postmortem and including the inclusion of his Presidential portrait among other Past Presidents of the Country.

According to Kalu through such the Abiola family will be healed and compensated from the electoral tragedy which befell them and the nation.

"Abiola won the election and there is no doubt about that , I want them to put Abiola's picture where other former President’s pictures are placed. I will appeal to President Tinubu to swear him in Postmortem.

"I am thankful to President Buhari who gave him the National Award but he should be sworn in Postmortem so the family will be healed and given the rights they give to former President's.

Kalu urged Nigerians to protect the Nation's democracy, he also paid solidarity to the Nigerian Army for the sacrifices while calling for investment in the Agricultural sector as well as the elimination of Terrorists occupying the Nation's land areas.

Kalu discouraged the disbursements of cash grants to individuals to solve the economic challenges;

"The Nigerian democracy has come to stay and I am very grateful to the Nigerian Army and their sacrifices. Some of them are being killed in the battlefield trying to safeguard our Nation.

"We must go back to Agriculture to make progress. We must retrieve our lands occupied by bandits and other Terrorists. Dashing of money should stop. We should put those money to Agriculture and other productive ventures, Kalu said.

When asked for his opinion of the face off between Senator Natasha Akpoti and the Senate President Godswill Akpabio over sitting arrangement, Kalu declined to comment saying that the incident was a matter that will be settled within the Senate Chambers as it would be an error to discuss such matter in public.
