Pro-El-Rufai Protesters Storm SDP Headquarters, Demand Removal Of Party’s National Secretary Olu Agunloye Over Fraud Allegations

A crowd of pro-Nasir El-Rufai protesters stormed the national headquarters of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Abuja on Wednesday, demanding the removal of the party’s national secretary, Olu Agunloye.

The protesters, holding placards, accused Agunloye of mismanaging the party and called on him to either clear his name regarding his fraud case with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) or step down.

Agunloye, a former Minister of Power and Steel under ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo, is currently facing trial by the EFCC over allegations of fraudulent contract awards and official corruption.

One of the charges filed by the EFCC accuses Agunloye and Leno Adesanya, who remains at large, of forging a document dated May 22, 2003.

The document titled "Construction of 3,960MW Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Station on Build, Operate, Transfer Basis" allegedly caused the Federal Government of Nigeria to enter into a contract with Sunrise Power and Transmission Company Limited (SPTCL).

The EFCC claims the forgery violates Sections 363 and 364 of the Penal Code and is punishable under the law.

Some of the placards brandished by the protesters at the SDP headquarters on Wednesday read: ‘Clear your name or resign: Dr. Agunloye, face your EFCC cases and stop embarrassing SDP!’ ‘Don’t destroy SDP! Dr. Agunloye’s EFCC case is destroying SDP! Resign now and give us a chance,’ and ‘Save SDP’s legacy! Dr. Agunloye must resign immediately! We demand change for a better future!’

Sources told SaharaReporters that the protesters are supporters of Nasir El-Rufai, the former Kaduna State Governor who recently defected to the SDP from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

El-Rufai officially resigned from the APC on Monday and announced his move to the SDP. He has also directed his political allies and supporters to join him in the new party.

The former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) cited a growing disconnect between his personal values and the APC’s current direction as the key reason for his defection.

El-Rufai, a founding member of the APC, accused the party’s current leadership of abandoning the progressive ideals that guided its formation in 2013.

He claimed that the party had been taken over by individuals who disregarded internal democracy and treated members with contempt.

He added that despite repeatedly voicing his concerns about the party’s decline, both privately and publicly, his warnings were ignored.

“On my part, I have raised concerns in private and, more recently, in public regarding the capricious trajectory of the party. Therefore, at this point in my political journey, I have come to the conclusion that I must seek another political platform for the pursuit of the progressive values I cherish,” he said.

El-Rufai, who served as governor of Kaduna from 2015 to 2023, said he had hoped that the APC would remain committed to the principles of good governance, democracy, and development.

However, he now believes the party has strayed and no longer represents the ideals of its founding fathers.

The former minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) recalled how he played a key role in securing electoral victories for the APC in 2015, 2019, and 2023, but expressed disappointment at how the party has been run in recent years.

“I, therefore, call on all our supporters and other persons concerned about our country’s future to join us in the SDP in the journey towards making Nigeria flourish as a beacon of pride for Africans and the Black Race,” he said.

Meanwhile, TheCable reported on Tuesday that Agunloye had petitioned the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, over an alleged plot to pressure him into resigning.

Sources also told the newspaper that SDP members loyal to El-Rufai are actively pushing for Agunloye’s resignation.

“I petitioned the IG about a person who forged letterhead paper and is threatening me to resign,” Agunloye confirmed the submission of the petition to TheCable.

Meanwhile, Adewole Adebayo, the Social Democratic Party’s (SDP) presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, has described El-Rufai as an asset with a strong record of public service.

Speaking on The Morning Brief, a breakfast programme on Channels Television, on Tuesday, Adebayo acknowledged El-Rufai's strengths but noted that he also has some weaknesses to address.

“The issue is that I see him as an asset, as a hard-working person and he has a verifiable and measurable track record of public performance. What I believe is that he has his weaknesses which he needs to work on but I am not his mentor or therapist,” he said.

Background Of Agunloye’s EFCC Case

Meanwhile, Sunrise Power is seeking $2.3 billion in compensation from Nigeria through arbitration at the ICC International Court of Arbitration in Paris over the government’s failure to honor the contract.

The contract was awarded by Agunloye while serving as a minister, just a day after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) had instructed him to withdraw the memo.

On October 10, 2017, Sunrise initiated arbitration against Nigeria at the ICC International Court of Arbitration in Paris, seeking $2.354 billion in damages for "breach of contract" related to a 2003 agreement to construct the 3,050MW Mambilla power plant in Taraba State on a "build, operate, and transfer" basis, valued at $6 billion.

In a second arbitration, the company is demanding $400 million as compensation for the Nigerian government’s failure to honor the terms of a 2020 settlement agreement intended to resolve the dispute.

In July 2024, SaharaReporters reported that a Federal High Court in Abuja had turned down an application by former minister Agunloye to travel overseas for medical attention.

The ruling was made in the context of Agunloye's trial on alleged fraud charges involving $6 billion.

Specifically, the EFCC accused the former minister of awarding a contract for the construction of the Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Station to Sunrise Power and Transmission Company Limited on May 22, 2003, without requisite budgetary provisions, approvals, or financial backing.

PoliticsLagos Assembly’s ₦5 Billion Vehicle Starts Another Round Of Rift by samnet123(op): 8:37am On Mar 12, 2025
The Lagos State House of Assembly is once again at the center of controversy, this time over a staggering ₦5 billion vehicle procurement budget that has exposed deep-seated leadership conflicts, allegations of financial mismanagement, and questions about governance priorities.

At the heart of the dispute is the decision by Speaker Mojisola Meranda to revise an earlier ₦7 billion vehicle purchase plan approved by her predecessor, Mudashiru Obasa. What should have been a routine procurement process has now escalated into a political power struggle—one that could redefine accountability and financial oversight in Nigeria’s most economically significant state.

The U.S. confirms Ukraine will NOT join NATO and NO U.S. troops will be deployed to Ukraine.

Washington Signals a Strategic Shift in Global Priorities
The United States has officially ruled out Ukraine’s NATO membership and confirmed that no American troops will be deployed to the war-torn country, signaling a major shift in U.S. foreign policy. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made the announcement at NATO headquarters in Brussels, emphasizing that America’s strategic focus must shift toward broader global concerns, particularly threats from China and domestic security challenges.

“Stark strategic realities prevent the United States from being primarily focused on the security of Europe,” Hegseth stated.

This declaration marks a turning point, redirecting responsibility for European defense towards NATO’s European members and reducing direct U.S. military involvement in the region.

Lawyer Adeyanju Secures Release Of Delivery Driver Arrested For 'Driving Too Close' To Inspector-General's Convoy

Abuja, Nigeria – In an event that underscores the significance of legal advocacy, renowned human rights lawyer Deji Adeyanju has successfully secured the release of a delivery driver who was detained for allegedly driving too close to the convoy of the Inspector-General of Police. The arrest, which took place last week, ignited widespread public outrage and sparked important discussions about police conduct and citizens' rights.

The delivery driver, whose identity has been kept confidential, was apprehended by police officers while on his delivery route. Eyewitnesses recounted that the driver was merely performing his duties when he was surrounded by police vehicles and detained. The arrest was reportedly made on the charge of "driving too close" to the Inspector-General's convoy, a charge that many have criticized as disproportionate and unfair.

The moment Ghanaian President’s bodyguard collapsed in parliament during State of the Nation address.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsHTpXs8ExM?si=lXevcbpGWb5Cni_B



A dramatic moment unfolded in Parliament on Friday, January 3, 2025, when Colonel Isaac Amponsah, the personal bodyguard to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, collapsed during the President’s final State of the Nation Address.

The incident occurred shortly after President Akufo-Addo began his speech, which highlighted his administration’s achievements and plans for Ghana’s future. Col. Amponsah, a long-serving and trusted aide-de-camp, was standing guard in the chamber when he suddenly lost consciousness and collapsed without warning.

The shocking event was captured on video, showing Parliament’s medical team rushing to the scene to provide immediate assistance. After receiving first aid, Col. Amponsah was promptly transported to a nearby medical facility for further evaluation.

Visibly alarmed by the situation, President Akufo-Addo paused his address briefly to ensure his bodyguard received urgent care before resuming his speech. Despite the interruption, the address continued, with the President reflecting on Ghana’s progress during his tenure and the nation’s future trajectory.

The condition of Col. Amponsah remains undisclosed at this time, but updates are expected in the coming hours. The incident added an unexpected and somber note to what was otherwise a historic moment in President Akufo-Addo’s leadership.
