14) Sterling Bank Qore:

I didn't include this initially because I have created an entire thread about it, but on second thought, I have decided to include it.

Sterling Bank created Qore to help in financing the electric vehicle revolution.

Qore finances the construction of solar charging stations, it provides loans and leases so that people can buy electric vehicles or convert their petrol powered cars to electric vehicles, it provides a way by which people can pay to rent batteries for electric vehicles, etc. They even brought Mustapha Gajibo to Lagos to build a solar charging station on Victoria Island.

Sterling Bank is big on solar power and they even completely covered their headquarters building with solar panels a few years ago (this enabled them to go off grid).

Video: Pandemonium at PDP HQ as thugs invade BoT meeting

January 29, 2025

Pandemonium broke out at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) headquarters in Abuja on Wednesday as thugs allegedly invaded the Board of Trustees (BoT) meeting, causing chaos at the venue.

The meeting, presided over by the Acting National Chairman of the PDP, Amb. Umar Damagum, was attended by several key party members, including National Secretary Sen. Samuel Anyanwu, Senator Ben Obi, BoT Chairman Senator Adolphus Wabara, Board Secretary Senator Ahmed Makarfi, former Niger State Governor Babangida Aliyu, Chief Olagunsoye Oyinlola, and former Youth Leader Sunday Ude-Okoye.

Tensions flared when Samuel Anyanwu and Sunday Ude-Okoye, both vying for the position of PDP National Secretary, clashed at the start of the meeting. Ude-Okoye had arrived at the meeting venue before Anyanwu and Acting Chairman Damagum but was forced out after Anyanwu’s arrival.

Recall that in 2023, the PDP’s South East zone nominated former National Youth Leader Sunday Ude-Okoye to replace Anyanwu as National Secretary after he was selected as the party’s candidate for the Imo State governorship election. The South East PDP argued that Anyanwu should step down from the position due to his candidacy, fueling additional controversy within the party.

An Appeal Court sitting in Enugu on December 20, 2024, upheld a previous High Court ruling removing Senator Anyanwu as the PDP National Secretary and affirmed Sunday Ude-Okoye as the legitimate officeholder.

However, last week, the Court of Appeal in Abuja issued a restraining order, directing Anyanwu to remain in office as National Secretary until the Supreme Court resolves the ongoing appeal.

Details later.

Interesting but inaccurate headline - “Illiterates in leadership” – El-Rufai slams APC, says party has abandoned its ideals

Speaking at a national conference in Abuja on strengthening democracy in Nigeria, El-Rufai described the state of governance and opposition in the country as a “national emergency.”

“Illiterates in leadership” – El-Rufai slams APC, says party has abandoned its ideals

Jerry Wright-Ukwu
January 28, 2025

Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has taken a swipe at his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), accusing it of abandoning its founding principles and fostering poor leadership.

Speaking at a national conference in Abuja on strengthening democracy in Nigeria, El-Rufai described the state of governance and opposition in the country as a “national emergency.”

El-Rufai lamented the lack of internal democracy and active party structures within the APC, saying, “I no longer recognize the APC. No party organ has met in two years—no caucus, no NEC, nothing. You don’t even know if it is a one-man show; it’s a zero-man show.”

The former governor criticized the quality of leadership emerging from political parties, attributing it to unqualified delegates.

“You cannot afford to have illiterates, semi-illiterates, and cunning people as your leaders. This is why we end up with the poor leadership we have today,” he said.

El-Rufai urged political parties to set higher standards for candidates and delegates, noting that the constitution’s minimum requirement of a secondary school certificate should not suffice for party nominations.

Reflecting on the party’s foundation, El-Rufai said the APC was originally established to combat corruption, rebuild the economy, and enhance security. He, however, said the goals have been abandoned.

“The problems that led to the creation of the APC remain unresolved, but I no longer believe the APC is interested in addressing them. The distance between me and the party is widening,” he revealed.

El-Rufai also urged opposition parties to unite and form a broad coalition to challenge the ruling party and protect democracy.

“There are internal mercenaries in the PDP, hired and motivated to destroy the party. The Labour Party is also facing similar issues. Peter Obi himself told me, ‘I don’t know what’s happening in the party I contested with.’

“There seems to be a deliberate project to destroy opposition parties,” he alleged.

Citing a poll that revealed 75% of registered voters might abstain from the 2027 elections, El-Rufai warned of an impending crisis.

“This is dangerous. For those of us who lived half our lives under military rule, we know what it is. We don’t want a military rule, but we also don’t want civilians behaving like the military in their babbar riga and suits,” he said.

He appealed to opposition parties to set aside their differences and form a united front to save democracy.

“This is a national emergency, and we must act before history repeats itself,” he concluded.

I’m not leaving APC, El-Rufai declares

January 28, 2025 by Jide Orintunsin, Abuja

Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has dismissed speculations suggesting he plans to leave the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking to journalists on the sidelines of the 2-day National Conference on Strengthening Democracy in Nigeria held in Abuja on Tuesday, El-Rufai, a founding member of the ruling party, reaffirmed his commitment to the APC, emphasizing that he has no intention of quitting the party.

“I have no plans to leave the party,” El-Rufai said, adding that he expects improved performance from the APC.

El-Rufai, who has been critical of the party since being excluded from the ministerial list last year, strongly refuted claims about his possible exit when questioned after the conference.

“I am not leaving the APC. I don’t have such plans.,” El-Rufai declared

“But why are you so hard on the party lately?” the former Federal Capital Territory Minister was asked.

“No, no no, I want them (APC) them to change,” he responded and moved away.

But on Monday at the national talk-shop El-Rufai accused APC of abandoning its founding principles and fostering poor leadership.

He complained of lack of internal democracy and active party structures within the party.

According to him, “I no longer recognize the APC. No party organ has met in two years—no caucus, no NEC, nothing. You don’t even know if it is a one-man show; it’s a zero-man show.”

El-Rufai noted that the APC was originally established to combat corruption, rebuild the economy, and enhance security.

He, however climes that the goals have been abandoned.

“The problems that led to the creation of the APC remain unresolved, but I no longer believe the APC is interested in addressing them. The distance between me and the party is widening,” he hinted
