Those who sabi are aligning with Apc because they see potential future prosperity with the party leading Nigeria .

But the sons and daughters of nobody will be hiding behind their keyboard to be threatening president Tinubu's reelection.

They are Ajoka

In a meeting that bridged the worlds of politics, sports, and business, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda Goshwe, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), welcomed legendary Nigerian footballer Nwankwo Kanu to his residence in Abuja.

The visit featured engaging discussions on how to harmonize and enhance the interplay between these three key facets of society politics, sports, and business for greater national benefit.

Professor Yilwatda emphasized the value of understanding these domains deeply, noting that "politics, sports, and business can be very interesting if understood." The conversation explored ways to achieve better balance and synergy among them, drawing on Kanu's extensive experience as a former Super Eagles captain, UEFA Champions League winner, Premier League star with Arsenal, and current influential figure in Nigerian sports administration and philanthropy through his Kanu Heart Foundation.

Nwankwo Kanu, widely regarded as one of Nigeria's greatest football exports and affectionately known as "Papilo," has long transcended the pitch, engaging in business ventures and community development initiatives.

This cordial encounter underscores the growing intersections between Nigeria's political leadership and iconic sports figures, fostering dialogue on holistic national development.

Baxilexi:
An embodiment of premium negotiating skills, behavioral economics and tactical empathy.

Never splitting the difference.

That’s why it’s good to have professionals/technocracy’s at the helm of affairs driving the nation. Imagine former AfDB president as Nigerian president.

Instead we’ve got a geriatric corruption infested manipulator.

Construction on the Ilorin–Jebba–Mokwa Road is now 81% complete, with about 80km already laid with wearing course.

The project, under the FG’s infrastructure renewal drive, will improve safety, cut travel time, and boost connectivity.

Commendations go to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Works Minister Professor Engr. David Umahi for driving the progress.

Today, the EFCC has just recovered a whopping ₦1.27 billion from the businessman, Olasijibomi Ogundele, and handed it over to the Enugu State Government after first declaring him wanted and obtaining a court order to detain him.

Have you noticed that nobody has raised any ethnic sentiments? Not a single person.

But the minute the EFCC goes after a high-profile politician, businessman, or celebrity, who is not from the President's ethnic nationality, everybody will rise and shout that such a person is being persecuted because of his ethnicity.

Why isn't Olasijibomi Ogundele being persecuted for his ethnicity?

Listen, for Nigeria to progress as a nation, we must downplay ethnicity and promote objectivity.

If anyone is being prosecuted by the EFCC, the only argument in their defence from the dramatis personae and their supporters must be that they are innocent, not that they are being punished because they are from such and such a place or belong to this or that opposition party.

Political economist and African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain, Prof. Pat Utomi, has declared that he is more prepared to lead Nigeria than President Bola Tinubu and other leading opposition figures ahead of the 2027 general election.

Utomi made the assertion on Sunday while speaking on Politics Today, where he reflected on his political journey, opposition coalition talks, and what he described as Nigeria’s deepening democratic and governance crisis.

According to him, his long-standing commitment to principled politics and consistent party affiliation set him apart from other contenders.

“Has it ever occurred to you that I am more qualified than all of them — including Bola Tinubu — in terms of preparation to lead Nigeria? To be honest, I have never left the ADC since 2007,” Utomi said.

Na those who listened to the sore losers bought that crap

When we asked them to produce the original copy of the bill and the altered one, they kept mute meaning they were just as usual joking around

Former Vice President and African Democratic Congress presidential aspirant, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has vowed not to withdraw from the 2027 Presidential race.

The former presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party made the declaration in a statement issued on Tuesday and signed by his media aide, Paul Ibe.

In the statement entitled, “Nigeria’s Democracy Under Siege: Opposition Faces Existential Threat, ” Atiku accused the Presidency and the ruling All Progressives Congress of meddling in the choice of the ADC presidential candidate.

Checks revealed that apart from Atiku Abubakar, former Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi and former presidential aspirant on the platform of the APC, Rotimi Amaechi, have also declared interest in the ADC ticket.

Atiku who accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of alleged plot to foist a one party state on Nigeria, further alleged that “agents aligned with the Presidency are now attempting to destabilize the ADC from the outside—issuing reckless prescriptions about its internal affairs, particularly the choice of a presidential candidate.”

The former Vice president however noted that all contenders for the ADC ticket would submit themselves to a presidential convention, having been assured by the party national leadership of “its commitment to an open, transparent, and competitive process for selecting its flagbearer.”

The statement maintained that “any call—overt or covert—for Atiku to “step aside” is a gift to authoritarian ambition and a betrayal of the Nigerian people.”

It read:”For nearly three years, Nigerians have endured one of the harshest periods in recent history—an era defined by punishing economic policies and shrinking democratic space under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“True to form, this administration has not only inflicted widespread hardship but has pursued a calculated effort to eliminate political alternatives. The objective is clear: a creeping, de facto one-party state.

“Perhaps the Tinubu administration’s most disturbing “achievement” has been the systematic weakening of opposition parties, leaving the All Progressives Congress—despite its manifest failures—standing alone by default, not by merit.

“Thankfully, patriotic leaders saw this danger early and chose resistance over silence by rallying around the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as the nucleus of a credible national alternative.

“Predictably, agents aligned with the Presidency are now attempting to destabilize the ADC from the outside—issuing reckless prescriptions about its internal affairs, particularly the choice of a presidential candidate.

“Let it be stated plainly: the ADC is on a national rescue mission. Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, alongside other committed patriots, is central to this effort. Any call—overt or covert—for Atiku to “step aside” is a gift to authoritarian ambition and a betrayal of the Nigerian people.

“The ADC has consistently affirmed its commitment to an open, transparent, and competitive process for selecting its flagbearer. APC proxies and external meddlers have no standing to intimidate, blackmail, or sabotage this democratic resolve.

“At present, the ADC is focused on building strong ward, local government, and state structures nationwide. Disruptors and infiltrators must allow the party to do this essential work without interference.

“The party remains open and welcoming to all genuine opposition figures. This inclusiveness—not coercion—is the soul of democracy.

“When the time comes, all qualified aspirants will present themselves freely. No one is stepping down. If anyone should step aside, it is President Tinubu—whose leadership has become a national liability.

“The recent public declaration of ADC membership by former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi in Enugu, the political heartbeat of the Southeast, triggered open boasts by a serving minister and presidential aides about plans to undermine the party. Their fear is evident.

“Let there be no ambiguity: the ADC is determined to end the misfortune imposed by the Tinubu-led APC. No amount of intimidation, intrigue, or sabotage will derail this rescue mission.

“Nigeria will not surrender its democracy without a fight.”
