PDP, LP Shun Event as APC, APGA Jostle to Host President Tinubu Amid Ban on Party Colours

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s visit to Anambra State has led to political competition between the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), as both parties made efforts to take credit for hosting the President.

The visit, which is part of a one-day working tour, is focused on commissioning key infrastructure projects and meeting selected stakeholders. However, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP) stayed away from the event.

In a statement ahead of the visit, the Special Adviser to Governor Chukwuma Soludo on Political Affairs, Alex Obiogbolu, announced a ban on the wearing of party uniforms and support group attire. He directed APGA members and over 130 Soludo Support Groups not to wear clothes that show political identity.

Obiogbolu said the visit “is not a political event” but an official state function, and called for full cooperation from all groups.

Reacting to the development, APC Chairman in Anambra State, Basil Ejidike, said his party welcomed the President but refused to comment on the uniform ban.
“As a party that produced the President, we wish him a successful and hitch-free visit to Anambra,” he said.

So far, no groups have been seen wearing political party regalia. Only the official green-and-white clothing, usually worn for presidential ceremonies, was used during preparations.

The PDP, meanwhile, made it clear that it would not take part in the event. PDP State Chairman, Chidi Chidebe, said the party respects the President’s right to visit any part of the country, but added that his party is focused on delivering real change to citizens.

At the Labour Party secretariat in Awka, no officials were available to speak. But a member of the party, who asked not to be named, said,
“How do you expect us to welcome a man whose victory in the last general election remains disputed? Doing so would mean legitimizing what we believe is illegitimate. Our party has no interest in that.”

This is President Tinubu’s second visit to the South East in 2025, following his earlier trip to Enugu State.

Yeah right, they don't just love him, they adore him for throwing them under the cow to get his ebilokan turn at continuing APC shege that he installed in 2015 and reinforced the failure with Yorubalokan votes in 2019.

Did he not make his fellow southerner, Jonathan a one term president

When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.


Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country

The same stand Adeyinka Grandson gave on the death of Fasoranti's daughter is where Tinubu, the leader of the Yoruba Conservatives stands. Please see Tinubu's video below. pic.twitter.com/COhiSvabqW

Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.


Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....

However, the leader of the team, identified only as Tambaya, and three others are yet to be found.

Tambaya has been declared wanted by the police and he is said to be capable of communicating in Hausa, Fulfude and Pidgin English.

chisomkachy:
Nigerian President Bola Tinubu’s first supplementary budget includes a fleet of SUVs for himself and his wife, a presidential yacht and the renovation of his villa amid a cost-of-living crisis for some of the poorest people in the world.

The proposal — which seeks additional funding beyond the annual budget approved by Tinubu’s predecessor — comes as the government asks Nigerians to persevere through pain caused in part by a raft of economic reforms ushered in by the new president. Africa’s most populous country faces rampant unemployment, soaring food prices and a plummeting currency.

Federal lawmakers approved the president’s request for extra spending on Thursday, but eliminated the provision of 5 billion naira ($6.01 million) to buy a presidential yacht. Instead, they doubled the allocation to a student loan fund to 10 billion naira, according Abubakar Bichi, chairman of an appropriations committee in the House of Representatives.

The lawmakers approved 1.5 billion-naira proposed to purchase SUVs for the office of First Lady Oluremi Tinubu — an amount larger than that allocated to many individual federal colleges. The supplementary budget also proposes almost 6 billion naira to purchase SUVs for the presidency — more than the amount initially allocated to fund a student loan program for poor families.
