CapitalLens: Says Reconciliation Efforts Will Continue After National Convention,l
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has said that the National Convention of the People’s Democratic Party scheduled for March 29 and 30 will go ahead as planned, saying efforts at reconciling with aggrieved members will continue after the convention.
The Minister, who also said that the PDP will shock Nigerians by using the 2027 general elections to show its strength, dismissed the appeal filed at the Supreme Court by the Tanimu Turaki group, noting that it has no effect on the convention.
Speaking after inspecting the Moshood Abiola National Stadium Velodrome, the convention venue in Abuja, on Friday night, the Minister explained that reconciliation is a continuous process.
He was accompanied by Chairman of the National Convention Planning Committee, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, PDP Board of Trustees Chairman, Senator Mao Ohuabunwa, Chairman of the National Caretaker Working Committee (NCWC), Mohammed Abdulrahman, National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, and other members of the NCWC, as well as Chairman of the Rivers State Elders Council, Chief Ferdinand Alabraba, former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Chibudom Nwuche and others.
The Minister emphasized that the convention will proceed, while efforts to resolve internal disputes will continue afterwards.
“There is room for accommodation. The PDP is a very large party. Look at the umbrella, it is wide enough to accommodate everyone.
"I have always said that in any group, there will be grievances. You cannot expect that in a family of two or three people, everyone will always be satisfied let alone a party with millions of members. There will always be a few who are not happy. We have agreed to sit down with them, understand their concerns, and see how we can accommodate them. What is most important is the overall interest of the party.”
On the zoning arrangement, the Minister confirmed that positions have already been allocated across regions.
“We have already zoned our positions. Every zone has its own slots. The presidency has been zoned to the South, while the chairmanship is zoned to the North. We believe this consensus arrangement will make the process easier.
"For the first time, the PDP is presenting a unified front, rather than the usual ‘unity list’ that often reflects internal divisions. There are no factions everyone has agreed on the direction we are taking.”
The Minister also addressed the level of preparedness for the convention, saying; "We are fully prepared. This visit is to assess final arrangements. As I said, we are about 95 percent ready, and by tomorrow, everything will be set.
"Seating arrangements for all states have been completed, and the VIP section is ready. We do not expect more than 2,500 delegates.”
The convention is scheduled to hold on Sunday, March 29, and Monday, March 30.
Yes, it will be a shock, especially when they adopt Tinubu as their candidate.

loffyloffy: Really, are you speaking out of ignorance ,dullness or just misguided hatred.
As of early 2026, Siminalayi Fubara is recognized as the leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, according to a statement attributed to the party’s national chair in January 2026. This follows significant political realignments within the state. Key points as of March 2026: Leader: Siminalayi Fubara. Context: This leadership position follows the political shifts occurring after the 2023 governorship election. National Context: The APC continues to organize its national structure, with a 2026 national convention committee recently formed. Note: Rivers State politics is often characterized by intense factionalism, and the political landscape can shift rapidly. AI can make mistakes, so double-check responses
From the meeting BAT had with Wike and Fubara, BAT disagreed with the APC national chairman. Guess who calls the shot in APC, its BAT and not the National Chairman.

Before you judge me. I like her like that She visits me from time to time. She get car oo. No be small pikin. .

She dey kpooo SK loud for the balcony we stay upstairs. Sometimes she smoke inside the house. We have a family neighbor opposite us. I feel that my babe smoke is affecting them because the building is close to each other. Anytime she smoke I hear this family neigbours slide their window shut.
She does this whenever we want to phuck Now to make it worse she like to moan loud One time around 3 am she scream loudly during orgasm . I had to force my hand to cover her mouth.
She is giving me bad rep in this street And I'm scared police might come I have talked about this to her and she said that she said rent too and she can do whatever she wants it's her money.
Frankly she paid 80% of the rent I settled agent fee and the rest
My brothers, what do I do?? My reputation is looking bad I can't chase her out based on she paid huge part of rent. She dey moan loud and smoke loud I still love her. She love me like mad .
But I won't lie anytime she start smoking I just feel panic that neigbours might call police due to the smell. But she don't care
What should I do my brothers
You said you like her like that, so why the complain? The bad rep comes with the entire package. Enjoy.

We can't authoritatively say that something is cheap or expensive until we consider the purchasing power of the people. Yes, we can say Nigerian cooking gas is cheap, but how many people can afford it?
Tension and controversy have emerged in Ibadan following the public parade of individuals alleged to be students of Lead City University over a suspected fraud case involving the purchase of high-end mobile phones.
According to eyewitness accounts and circulating reports, the suspects were accused of attempting to acquire iPhones valued at approximately ₦5 million using a fake bank transfer. The transaction reportedly appeared successful at first, but was later discovered to be fraudulent after the payment could not be verified.
The individuals were subsequently apprehended and paraded publicly, drawing mixed reactions from residents and social media users. While some have condemned the alleged act, others have raised concerns about the public display of suspects without formal conviction.
Authorities have not yet released an official statement detailing the identities of the suspects or confirming whether formal charges have been filed. However, sources indicate that investigations are ongoing to determine the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
The case has reignited discussions around the rise of digital payment fraud and the need for stricter verification processes in high-value transactions, especially in a rapidly evolving cashless economy.
As the situation develops, legal experts continue to emphasize the importance of due process, noting that all accused persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
As I saw the heading, I just knew that it's going to be an iPhone
Seeplusplus: Finally... Someone asked the right question.
Why Lagos?
Abuja that is the Federal Capital and in the centre of Nigeria should ideally be the destination for this, even though the news is not entirely encouraging.
Sadly, a Lagos state indegene will take credit in the future for the development that will happen around where this school will be sited.
They keep moving FG institutions to Lagos with the excuse that Abuja is landlocked. Does this initiative have anything to do with the sea too?
