Politics › Court Remands Gololo Over Alleged Cyberstalking Of Akpabio by Ofunaofu(op): 12:06am On May 27
Federal High Court remands retired General Garba Gololo in Kuje prison over alleged cyberstalking and defamatory video claims.



A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the remand of retired Major General Garba Gololo at the Kuje Correctional Centre after he pleaded not guilty to a seven-count charge bordering on alleged cyberstalking, defamation and incitement linked to comments about Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia adjourned the matter until June 15 for hearing of Gololo’s bail application and ordered that he remain in custody pending the hearing.

Gololo was arraigned by the Inspector-General of Police over allegations that a viral video and Facebook posts attributed to him violated provisions of the Cybercrimes Act and the Penal Code.

The charges stem from a video in which Gololo allegedly claimed that Akpabio said northerners must vote for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 election or risk being expelled from Nigeria.

He pleaded not guilty to all seven counts.

The office of the Senate President denied the allegation, describing the claims as false and malicious.

Counsel to Gololo, Mohammed Habu, appeared in court on behalf of the retired military officer during the proceedings

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned one Igoin Tokoni Peter before a Federal High Court in Abuja over alleged fraud and impersonation.

According to the anti-graft agency, Peter allegedly obtained N25.9 million from Dontown Assets Limited under the pretence of securing a cryptocurrency exchange operational licence.

“That you, Igoin Tokoni Peter, sometime between 30th August, 2024 and 30th October, 2025 in Abuja within the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court with the intent to defraud, obtained the aggregate sum of N25,941,787.00,” the charge reads.


The EFCC alleged that the money was received through the account of Smartz Skyward Energy Limited domiciled with Zenith Bank.

The commission further alleged that Peter falsely claimed to be a special assistant to the president on ICT development and digital innovations.

In another count, the EFCC accused the defendant of obtaining N19.8 million from Jeriod Limited under similar pretences.


The anti-graft agency said the offences contravened provisions of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006. Peter pleaded not guilty to all the charges.

Following his plea, Christopher Mshelia, counsel to the EFCC, asked the court to fix a trial date and remand the defendant in Kuje correctional centre pending trial.

However, in his ruling, Justice Egwuatu granted the defendant bail in the sum of N400 million with two sureties in like sum.

The judge ruled that the sureties must be Abuja residents, while one must own landed property and provide relevant documents, passport photographs and means of identification.

The court also directed that the second surety must be a civil servant on grade level 15 who must provide official identification and passport photographs.

Egwuatu ordered that the defendant be remanded in Kuje correctional centre pending the fulfilment of the bail conditions. The matter was adjourned to July 16, 2026, for commencement of trial

But his supporters say he “improved” the economy, that Nigeria would have collapsed without him.

After making Nigerians too poor to afford school fees, he now offers loans through NELFUND. He built the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, etc.

According to Tinubu and his supporters, these are not mistakes. They are “painful but necessary” steps ... painful but necessary baby steps Nigerians must endure so the country does not collapse.

So why then should he be forgiven

Politics › Senators Who Lost Return Tickets Lead Mass Defection From APC In Bauchi by Ofunaofu(op): 6:22am On May 26
The aftermath of the All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries in Bauchi State has sparked growing discontent leading to mass defection of both prominent chieftains and their supporters

Lawmaker representing Bauchi South Senatorial District, Senator Shehu Buba Umar, has resigned from the APC and declared his membership of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP).

This comes days after his withdrawal from the APC governorship primary election, citing irregularities.

Also, the Senator representing Bauchi North, Samaila Kaila Dahuwa, has resigned from the APC after losing his return ticket, joining the PRP.

Buba cited the “absence of internal democracy, lack of fairness, marginalisation of genuine party members, and increasing disregard for the opinions and aspirations of grassroots supporters within the APC.”

He said his decision to join PRP came after extensive consultations with political associates, youths, women groups, party stakeholders, and supporters across Bauchi South Senatorial District and Bauchi State at large.

Buba said PRP remains a political platform built on the principles of justice, transparency, accountability, inclusiveness, and people-oriented leadership, with strong commitment to the democratic values enshrined in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Buba explained that his movement to the PRP is aimed at strengthening democratic governance, protecting the interests of the common people, and providing effective and responsive representation for the citizens.

“Our people deserve better governance, better opportunities, and leadership that truly listens to their concerns. Politics should be about service to humanity, justice, development, and improving the living conditions of the masses,” Buba said.

The Senator urged his supporters and political allies to join him in PRP to continue the “collective struggle” for good governance, social justice, accountability, and sustainable development across Bauchi State.

Among those who departed is the incumbent member representing the Jama’are/Itas-Gadau federal constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Rabilu Bala Kashuri, who announced his resignation with immediate effect.

Kashuri, who sought reelection ticket but was unsuccessful, tendered his resignation from the ruling party in a letter addressed to the APC Chairman of Kashuri Ward in the Itas/Gadau Local Government Area.

Similarly, the 2023 deputy governorship candidate and former member of the House Representatives, Hon Shehu Aliyu Musa, also resigned from the APC.

Musa, who contested the APC ticket for the Bauchi South Senatorial District, cited “lack of purposeful leadership, unfair treatment of party members and lack of cohesion among leaders of the party”

Since the announcement of the results APC gubernatorial primaries several aspirants and stakeholders have resigned from the APC, citing a lack of transparency and violations of internal democracy.

In a related development, former majority leader of Bauchi House of Assembly an aspirant for the Katagum Federal Constituency, Hon Tijjani Mohammed Aliyu, resigned from the party, alleging that the primaries were marred by predetermined results, vote allocation, and gross violations of party guidelines. According to him, the exercise undermined the principles of internal democracy upon which the APC was founded.

In a letter addressed to the Ward Chairman of the APC in Madangala Ward, Katagum Local Government Area, he wrote: “I write to formally notify you of my intention to resign my membership of the party (Membership No. APC 051203000049) in your ward, with immediate effect.”

“This decision follows recent developments regarding party activities, particularly the conduct of the 2026 primaries for various elective positions. After careful observation and review, I am convinced that the process was marred by predetermined results, the outright allocation of votes, and non-compliance with the guidelines for the conduct of said primaries.”

Another chieftain, Hon. Abubakar Dahuwa Abdulkadir, who holds the traditional title of Sarkin Yamman Katagum, also withdrew his membership from the party.

He described the primaries as unfair, discriminatory, and contrary to democratic ethics.

He alleged that the APC failed to conduct the planned direct primary election for the Azare/Madangala State Assembly constituency.

Hon. Sulaiman Sunusi Lalaye, an aspirant who sought to represent the Bauchi Constituency in the State House of Assembly, announced his resignation from the APC.

In a letter addressed to the Chairman of the APC in Makama/Sarkin Baki Ward, Bauchi Local Government Area, dated May 22, 2026, Lalaye stated that although he had been a member of the party since its formation, he decided to leave due to persistent irregularities and injustice within the organization.

Hon. Sulaiman Sunusi Lalaye formally notified the party of his decision to withdraw his candidacy for the State House of Assembly on the APC platform.

Hon. Rabi’u Abubakar Bishi announced his resignation in a letter addressed to the APC Chairman of the Kangere/Turum Ward.

“I am writing to inform you of my decision to resign from the All Progressives Congress. I have taken this step due to internal crises and injustice, among other issues, which I can no longer bear. This resignation will enable me to remain committed to my principles of fighting for good governance in our state,” Bishi said

Many aggrieved members alleged that no direct primaries were conducted in the state, insisting that candidates were merely handpicked through what they described as “selection and imposition

But as expected, it will be thrown out for lacking merit.
Politics › Re: 'Membership timeline': INEC appeals judgement, seeks stay of execution by Ofunaofu: 7:05pm On May 25
This is obviously the Tinubu and the APC appealing the judgment through the Amupitan-led INEC simply to buy time, so that those dissatisfied with the APC’s baba sope political patronage machine and fraudulent primaries will not decamp for now.

Ordinarily, INEC is not even supposed to appeal this judgment. The judge simply held that INEC cannot lawfully shorten the timeline already provided under Section 29(1) of the Electoral Act 2026 for the submission of party membership records and candidates’ particulars.

As expected, the appeal will most likely be dismissed for lacking merit.

INEC cannot issue guidelines that conflict with the very Electoral Act from which it derives its powers.

Divided with Tinubu? Oga, wake up, this is not 2023 anymore. Buhari is no more, El-Rufai has practically become Tinubu’s political prisoner, and Tinubu is now standing on his own record. There's no more, he built Lagos from scratch and tamed the Atlantic ocean propaganda to sell.

As president, has performed abysmally, woefully and spectacularly poor. No mass appeal, currently the most unpopular among the major presidential contenders.

The only things keeping him afloat are incumbency power, access to the national treasury, looted funds, and endless borrowed funds.

Politics › Rhodes-vivour Clinches ADC Governorship Ticket by Ofunaofu(op): 2:30pm On May 25
The governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has emerged winner of the party’s primary election ahead of the 2027 governorship poll, defeating his closest rival, Silas.

Rhodes-Vivour secured a total of 12,948 votes to clinch the ADC ticket, while Silas polled 6,183 votes in a keenly contested exercise held with participation from party stakeholders and supporters across the state.

Observers described the primary as peaceful and transparent, with strong turnout recorded across voting centres.

Speaking after he was declared winner, Rhodes-Vivour expressed appreciation to party members and supporters for their backing, describing the outcome as a collective victory for the movement.

“I want to sincerely thank every supporter who rallied around this movement and came out en masse to vote. This victory belongs to all of us who believe in a better future,” he said.

He added that the task of political transformation had only just begun, urging party faithful and residents to remain united ahead of the general election.

“The work has only just begun. Together, we will continue to build a movement that represents hope, progress and accountable leadership for our people,” he said.

However, in a follow-up reaction to claims suggesting he had lost the party’s ticket, Rhodes-Vivour dismissed the reports, insisting that his political strength could not be determined through speculation or informal projections.

In a Monday statement, he rejected suggestions that electoral outcomes could be predicted through what he described as “Excel sheets.”

“If only wishes were horses, if only we could sit in our house and write results on Excel sheets to win elections,” he said.

He also addressed critics who had questioned his political standing, noting that moments of perceived setback often attract mockery, while insisting that his support base remains intact.

Quoting comedian Dave Chappelle, he said: “When a hero stumbles, cowards rejoice. Nothing feels better to a coward than to watch a brave guy fall.”

Despite the controversy, he maintained that the narratives do not reflect reality, insisting that his movement remains strong and resilient.

“But sorry to disappoint, that won’t be today. The people of Lagos know the name of their champion,” he said.

Rhodes-Vivour further claimed that confidence within his camp had already translated into celebration following what he described as a decisive outcome.

“Since Friday the landslide victory was so definite that we had started celebrations. Last night we were officially declared victorious in a landslide victory,” he stated.

He concluded by reaffirming his optimism ahead of the 2027 election, saying his movement would continue to prevail “against any odds,” while attributing his confidence to divine support: “Glory be to God.”

No oo. He won't get Buhari's patronage which should by now be in the region of 20 million votes but has fallen to less than 10 million votes because of the destructive governance of the Apc. Atiku may not secure up to 20% votes in the south and fct
At this point, the strategy is no longer about nationwide spread or the FCT’s 25% threshold. The Supreme Court already settled that in Tinubu’s favour, despite him not getting 25% in the FCT in 2023. The real game now is simply who can gather the highest number of votes, even if concentrated in a few regions.
