vheekybillz: Let me just say it straight - if PDP really has sense, they’ll give Wike the presidential ticket. Why? Because love him or hate him, Wike is a political bulldozer and Tinubu is not as loved as he thinks outside Southwest. Wike is the one man who can drag votes from both APC and LP strongholds.
Even if Wike doesn’t win, he scatters Tinubu’s numbers in the South-South, especially Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta - even parts of the North Central. That alone can force a runoff. And trust Nigerians - in round two, anything can happen.
The man has money, mouth, madness, and machinery. And best part? He’s got nothing to lose and everything to spoil.
PDP may not be united, but one thing they know - Wike brings wahala to the APC table. And that’s exactly what 2027 needs.
EmekaA125: PDP Finally Zones 2027 Presidential Ticket to the South Barely two years to the 2027 general election, and few weeks after the Former vice president of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, announced his resignation from PDP, the party has finally made up its mind to zone its presidential ticket to the South. Speaking to Daily Independent on Tuesday, the Deputy National Youth Leader, Timothy Osadolor, disclosed that the party has opened its presidential ticket to all eligible southerners when he was asked where the party would zone its presidential ticket. “The PDP has opened the presidential ticket to all eligible southerners. We are zoning to the South.” The PDP would hold its caucus, Board of Trustees (BoT) and National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting today and tomorrow to address issues bedeviling the party and ratify congresses held previously.

augustine77: A Chief magistrate court Friday in Abuja remanded, at the Keffi Correctional Centre, a social media influencer, Ghali Isma'il, arrested by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) for posting fake videos that President Bola Tinubu died after a serious illness.
Operatives of the secret police arrested Isma'il days after he posted the fake videos on the TikTok handle @bola_asiwaju.
If Dem no dey punish this fools things no go better
Count one of the two-count charge, entitled "Publication of false news with intent to cause offence against public peace, " read: "That you, Ghali Ismail, Male, twenty-nine (29) years of Jogana village, Gezawa LGA, Kano State, on or about the 20th Day of July, 2025 and within the jurisdiction of this Honorable Court, did publish false information by uploading a video clip on your verified Tiktok handle ("bola-asiwaju" wherein you falsely claimed that you reliably confirmed from official sources that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was critically ill, having been poisoned through his meal, with intent to cause public alarm and disturb public peace. "You thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 418 of the Penal Code Act, Cap P3, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.
Count two, "Inciting Disaffection to the Government," read: "That you, Ghali Ismail, Male, twenty-nine (29) years of Jogana village, Gezawa LGA, Kano State, on or about the 20th Day of July, 2025 and within the jurisdiction of this Honorable Court, did publish false information by uploading a video clip on your verified Tiktok handle ("bola-asiwaju" wherein you falsely claimed that you reliably confirmed from official sources that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was critically ill, having been poisoned through his meal, with intent to bring contempt or incite feelings of disaffection against the person of the President. You thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 416 of the Penal Code Act, Cap P3, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004."
After taking arguments by counsel to the DSS and counsel to the defendant, whose application for bail was denied, the presiding judge, Ekpeyong Iyang, ordered Ismail to be remanded in Keffi correctional centre. The mater was adjourned till August 19.
Isma'il's arraignment came a few days after a professor of journalism at Kennesaw State University in the United States, Farooq Kperogi, apologized for publishing a report that late President Muhammadu Buhari and his wife, Aisha, were divorced at the time of his death.
It would be recalled that Biafrian agitator, Simon Ekpa, is currently being prosecuted by Finnish authorities for terrorism. However, Ekpa insists that his icentary posts online were merely to create "content."
Last week in Abuja, another Biafran separatist leader, Nnamdi Kanu, told a federal high court that his online broadcasts which prosecutors said left to the deaths of hundreds of persons, was a joke.
In Finland, prosecutors, who are demanding a six-year prison sentence for Mr Ekpa, his separatist activities, conducted online and coordinated from Finland, may constitute terrorism under Finnish law.
LagosPrince: Look at the way the OP headline the topic " KWANKWASO VISITS ASO ROCK" As if he went there to see tinubu.
You tinubu people are so desperate for northern votes but unfortunately for you people, Atiku and Nasir El rufai has inherited buhari 12 million north votes so nothing for you people this time around .
Oga face ur dull obi in peace n leave this people do whatever they like
LagosPrince: He's qualified to try but one thing is sure.. There is no labour party without Peter Obi.
Peter Obi has joined the coalition with Nasir El rufai, Atiku abubakar, amaechi, David mark, and other powerful politicians all in ADC and insha Allah, tinubu will be kicked out in 2027.
Oga shut up, and stop been been senseless, Labour party has provide a Governor before Obi....Obi was just a scatterer.
Any parties he goes he will destroy.
Imagine just 2yrs his Vp departed. When seeing obi inconsistent act
BREAKING: Datti Declares 2027 Ambition As Labour Party Disowns NEC Meeting By Obi, Otti.
The Labour Party has announced that its Former Vice Presidential Candidate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, has declared interest in running for President in 2027.
Rising from a meeting at its National Secretariat in Abuja on Monday, 21st of July, the Chairman, Julius Abure, congratulated Datti for showing interest in contesting for President on the Party’s Platform in 2027.
He also dissociated the party from an NEC meeting held at Transcorp Hotel on Friday, the 18th of July 2025.
The NEC meeting witnessed the Presence of the Party’s Former Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi and Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, where it was resolved that Nenadi Usman would function as a factional chairman of the Party.
It's no longer news that the Labour Party is mired in a bitter crisis that has divided it into Two Factions.
The Full Statement signed by Abure and the Party’s National Secretary, Umar Farouk Ibrahim read;
RESOLUTION ADOPTED AT THE END OF THE NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL (NEC) OF LABOUR PARTY HELD ON MONDAY, 21st JULY 2025 AT THE NATIONAL SECRETARIAT, UTAKO, ABUJA, AT 02:00 PM.
The NEC Meeting was attended by members of the National Working Committee, National officers of the party, Sen. Datti Baba-Ahmed, Vice Presidential candidate of the 2023 General Election, State Chairmen, and Stakeholders of the party and other co-opted members of the National Executive Council as provided by Article 13 (A) of the Party Constitution.
At the end of the meeting, the following resolutions were approved and adopted;
1. The NEC in session after reviewing the purported NEC meeting held in Transcorp on Friday, the 18th of July 2025, condemned the conveners of the meetings and thereafter dissociated itself from the outcome of the so-called NEC meeting where they renamed their illegal Caretaker Committee set up in Umuahia last year as Interim National Working Committee.
2. NEC notes that no matter how illegality is decorated it can not be legal. Renaming the Caretaker Committee, Interim NWC does not remove its illegality.
3. This sitting contravenes the Party’s Constitution. Article 14 (4) (B) gives powers to call meetings only to the National Secretary with the approval of the National Chairman. The meeting also contravenes the provisions of Section 82 (1) (2) (a) of the Electoral Act 2022 which provides as follows:
82 (1) Every registered political party shall give the Commission at least 21 days’ notice of any Convention, Congress, Conference or meeting convened for the purpose of ‘’merger’’ and electing members of its executive committees, other governing bodies, or nominating candidates for any of the elective offices specified under this Act. Such notice must be given by the National Chairman and Secretary of the Party.
(2) The Commission may, with or without prior notice to the political party attend and observe any convention, congress, conference or meeting which is convened by a political party for the purpose of (a) electing members of its executive committees or other governing bodies.
4. NEC in session consequently disassociates itself from the meeting and its outcomes.
5. NEC in session notes that there is no vacuum in the leadership of the Party. The Party has conducted its National Convention in line with the party Constitution, the Electoral Act and Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on 27th March, 2024 at Nnewi, Anambra State, which has been validated by the Supreme Court in its Judgment of the 4th April 2025.
Consequently, NEC in session therefore calls on the Honourable Chairman of INEC, Prof. Mahmoud Yakubu to comply with the Supreme Court Judgment, all the legal and other opinions before him.
Based on the foregoing, therefore, NEC in session hereby call on all teeming members, supporters, and members of the general public to kindly disregard the so-called meeting and its outcome.
6. NEC in session hereby re-imposes confidence in the leadership of Barr. Julius Abure led the National Working Committee and urged all Party members to continue to respect the leadership of the party and obey its lawful directives.
7. NEC in session also approved the conduct of State, Local Government, and Ward Congress as may be scheduled by the National Working Committee in line with the party’s Constitution and other Extant laws.
8. NEC in session reiterates that the Labour Party will not be part of any coalition for the 2027 general election. NEC believes that the coalition of 2023 is bigger than any other coalition. we will therefore rebuild, reconcile, and consolidate the gains of the 2023 general election. Labour Party is distinct in terms of its ideology, programs, philosophy, and manifestos, which has the answers to the socio-economic challenges in Nigeria. We can therefore not be tempted by joining any politically spent forces that have hitherto, squandered the resources and opportunity of the Nation.
9. NEC in session commends Sen. Datti Baba-Ahmed for identifying with the leadership and declaring his interest in the 2027 general election.
owobokiri: Is Atiku Abubakar the president of Nigeria? Who amongst the two has a dodgy ancestry , a dodgy academic history, a dodgy age certificate and all that? Your man made himself a target of such accusations.., stop muddling facts.
Yes Atiku was not the President Yet when Tinubu was just aspiring to be you started your criticism.
In your own sane sense, you think someone like Tinubu a southwesterner will not have certificate
owobokiri: If them take you to a shrine and asks you to swear that Tinubu was not above 70 years then, will you go ahead and swear or will you quickly borrow Lewis Hamiltons car to run away Answer frankly pls.
I never said is 70 or not My problem is that why condemning Tinubu that is allegedly 70. But failed to criticize Atiku of 80, is this not hypocrisy.
Finquas: Lol... There is no need to cry my brodas across the niger.. Lagos govt can rename ozumba mbadiwe road to Bola Tinubu road etc .. it dosn't change the fact that the igbo tribe is the real deal and will keep progressing even more. That act simply reeks inferiority complex of the highest degree centigrade
attackgat: All Igbos should feel free to mourn whoever they wish to mourn, however, the truth must be told.
Muhammadu Buhari has been involved in the killing of Igbo people for over 50 years, and I will enumerate the instances this man was involved in killing our people
July 1966- Buhari was actively involved in the July 1966 coup in which hundreds of Igbo officers were killed
1967-1970 - Buhari fought in the civil war against Igbos, and only God above knows how many Igbos he sent to the great beyond in that time.
1984- After Buhari became military dictator, there was a steep rise in public executions by firing squad. Retroactive decrees he came up with sent many young men to the stakes including Bath Owoh, younger brother of famous actor, Nkem Owoh, who was publicly executed
September 2017: Operation Python dance - In 2017, the Biafran agitation was on, but it was peaceful and there was no armed group in the South East. Buhari returned from a medical trip abroad, declared opration python dance against unarmed peaceful agitators, declared IPOB a terrorist organisation despite the group not having any record of violence at the time. Soldiers swung into action in the South East, killed and tortured many Igbo youths, and the South East has not known peace since then.
We will speak to them in a language they will understand
They are just a dot in a circle
Them no dey sin against people na Only people dey Sin against them Tufiakwa

wherein you falsely claimed that you reliably confirmed from official sources that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was critically ill, having been poisoned through his meal, with intent to cause public alarm and disturb public peace.
