Activist, Deji Adeyanju has weighed in on a brewing crisis in the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Adeyanju, who is also a former spokesman of the party, disclosed that certain elements of the party are not in support of former vice president, Atiku Abubakar’s bid to contest for the party’s ticket again in 2023.
He revealed that Sokoto state governor, Aminu Tambuwal and Bauchi state governor, Bala Mohammed are the two politicians currently being considered for the party’s 2023 presidential ticket.
Controversy as suspended Osun PDP chairman refuses to vacate office He wrote on social media; “PDP stakeholders want to present Tambuwal or Bala Mohd both serving Govs as presidential candidate & someone from South as VP in 2023.”
“They say everybody is tired of the Dubai man with dollars. Why won’t you guys present him now? I want to see you guys in opposition for 16yrs.”
“Many of them are so pained the man abandoned their party after election & relocated to Dubai for 2yrs but is now back to start campaign for another ticket. The only way PDP can get real sense is if they spend 16yrs in opposition. APC should present an acceptable candidate in 2023.”
“Another calculation is that if APC gives GEJ ticket for just 4yrs, Bala Mohd and some PDP governors will defect with him and the PDP might become empty but the law has technically barred Jonathan from contesting next election.”
Interestingly Nice to know...they should disqualify those other people mentioned if they want to be taken seriously. @fahdiga1 up there what we need is a young visionary leader with a high level of empathy irrespective of regional affiliation.
PDP & APC are a disgrace based on their past & present leadership antecedents. They are all shaken from the #ENDSARS protests that took the FG by surprise and abruptly brought an end to the rising atrocities of the SARS division of NPF. They should also be expecting this once a young visionary aspirant comes out or shows up, and there are plans by some Political Young Class to achieve this reason there are political actors in YDP. The new normal is an emphatic NO more recycling of old greedy cohorts of political actors!
Come 2023 we youths must create a paradigm shift for better leaders.
WE WILL CONTINUE IMPROVING BUSINESS CLIMATE, OSINBAJO ASSURES ORGANIZED PRIVATE SECTOR IN RENEWED ENGAGEMENT
AFCTA implementation in focus Business leaders commend VP's personal devotion to MSMEs
The Federal Government will continue to interact and engage with the Organised Private Sector (OPS) in the country, while improving the country’s business climate, in the full knowledge that the sector is the real engine room of growth and development, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.
Prof. Osinbajo made this observation during a virtual interaction this afternoon with representatives and business leaders from the OPS, including the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines, and Agriculture (NACCIMA); Nigeria Employers' Consultative Association (NECA), Nigerian Association of Small-Scale Industrialists (NACCI) and the Nigerian Association of Small and Medium Enterprises (NASME).
The OPS delegation led by its Chairman, Mr. Taiwo Adeniyi, made a presentation on the progress of the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement, with suggestions and proposals about its future.
Responding, the Vice President while welcoming the presentation, noted that "the private sector is the engine of growth, there is no way the Federal Government can do anything in the economy without the private sector. Our role is to make it easy for the sector to operate, and we are committed to that."
He told the delegation that with the relationship already established between the FG and the OPS, "we shall follow up with all the issues raised and look forward to other engagements with you all."
Members of the OPS delegation commended the Buhari administration for the continued interaction with the body over time.
According to Adeniyi, there has been a general optimism especially among medium-scale businesses that the AfCFTA will generate positive effects on the Nigerian economy.
Speaking later on behalf of the delegation the President of NASME, Mr. Orimadegun Agboade, praised the Vice President for his “personal attention to MSMEs Clinics, describing the VP’s support as “more than what we can express.” He added, “We are very grateful. God will continue to empower you."
The virtual interaction has also attended the Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment, Otunba Niyi Adebayo, among other senior government officials.

Mofos. A fully bloated clueless administration infested with terrorists!
We need young visionary leadership in power not one with a VP that shows hypocrisy whilst citizens keep dying and languishing in penury!
ThatFairGuy1: The same save Haven of Nigeria immigrants?
I thought Nigeria is being led by a dictator dunno Canada is as well
Ndi wailer, YOU CAN DESERT CANADA NOW and go to North Korea
Stop showing how much you lack knowledge on a public space. Canada is going through the right channel to regulate their SM system of viewership and not trying to ban freedom to express or access by canadians as a Democratic society.
The incompetent leaders in Nigeria didn't do such ..rather they decided to ban and even threaten citizens whereas their colleagues are glaringly still using the platform. SMH @You.
@OP there is nothing controversial about this bill process of regulating streaming modalities for the good of their citizens.....you don't always need sensationalism to thwart information. Be guided.
We need young visionary leaders with great sense of empathy in Nigeria.
November1857: Senate President Lawan Blames Saraki For Buhari, APC Failure
The Saraki-led National Assembly endured a torrid relationship with the executive, as it sought to assert its authority as the second tier of government.
Senate President Ahmad Lawan has attributed the failure of the All Progressives Congress government under President Muhammadu Buhari to the power struggle between the executive and the National Assembly during Bukola Saraki's tenure.
Saraki served as the 13th President of the Senate of Nigeria during President Buhari's first term from 2015 to 2019.
According to Lawan, who succeeded Saraki, the All Progressives Congress government could not fulfil its electoral promises to the electorate during its first term because the two bodies did not have a cordial relationship.
Lawan said this at the First Progressives Youth Conference 2021, on Monday night in Abuja, PeoplesGazette reports.
He said, "When we were voted in 2019 as leaders of the National Assembly, we were conscious of one thing, that the mandate that was given to us by Nigerians in 2015 had suffered disruption and dislocation.
"For four years (2015 to 2019), our government could not perform optimally because of the then crisis between the parliament – the National Assembly – and the Executive arm of government.
"So, A.P.C. had already lost four very important years. And, that was supposed to be the year that we should have convinced Nigerians that they took the right decision by voting out a PDP administration in 2015."
The Saraki-led National Assembly endured a torrid relationship with the executive, as it sought to assert its authority as the second tier of government.
The Senate in 2018 rejected Buhari's request for $1billion for the purchase of arms. It also refused to confirm former head of anti-graft agency Ibrahim Magu as EFCC chairman.
The upper legislative chamber also had brushes with some heads of government agencies and cabinet members such as Customs boss Hamid Ali, former finance minister Kemi Adeosun. It sacked Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal.
FTC. #SoroSoke werey Werey wey dey disguise!! SMH Laughable knowing that this President of a clueless rubberstamp arm of government is still playing the blame game even when it's obvious he lacks the leadership ability! SMH. Mofo...
We need young visionary leaders not these bunch of charlatans parading themselves in government positions.
RocketHarbalTea: APC PRIMARIES: WILSON CHIDOZIE, WICHTECH CEO, TRIES TO BEWITCH INEC WITH FAKE WAEC CERTIFICATE
The list of Nigerian politicians who have presented fictitious certificates keeps stretching longer. It is, to put it mildly, shameful and humiliating. Nigerians are considered to be the finest educated black people in the world, according to one US report, and are among the most educated immigrants in the country, both vertically and horizontally - Nigerians are now ironically poster-characters for fraudulent certifications, 419 qualifications, and dubious academic affiliation, which is disgusting.
A shocking yet revealing discovery was made recently about Anambra governorship aspirant, Wilson Chidozie. The WAEC certificate of the CEO of a large Nigerian construction conglomerate, Wichtech, has been discovered to be fake.
The said WAEC certificate was issued in December 2004 which implies that Wilson Chidozie sat for his WAEC examinations at the age of 39. This is exceedingly improbable.
An in-depth research into his history and a thorough study of his biography in his recent publications indicate some mistiness around his secondary school education. None of the publications reveal that he ever sat for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination.
Furthermore, specialists who examined the certificate thoroughly found that multiple modifications had been done, and as a result, many of the details supplied on the certificate are suspicious. According to them, the name on the certificate looks to have been attached, and the passport image appears to be that of someone other than the certificate's owner.
Wilson Chidozie has been unable to give an actual copy of his presumed WAEC certificate till now, confirming suspicions. In order to play on the intelligence of INEC officials, APC stakeholders, and the naive people of Anambra, all he had to display was a string of funny-looking photocopies. This is a heinous crime that might cast further doubt on other APC’s candidates for the Anambra 2021 gubernatorial elections.
He who seeks equity must do so with clean hands, hence anyone calling for free, fair, and credible APC primaries must first provide legitimate documents before being allowed to run. APC is anticipated to spring into action to protect the party's image from such a heinous act.
Laughable @the word can never develop! FYI our underdevelopment is solely because of bad leaders in Government and not those things you mentioned because check all sectors of profession Nigerians are a class of their own. We need young visionary leaders and come 2023 youths are getting prepared. It's a make or mare situation already. Fingers crossed.
Lionessza6: When I think of a country that can never develop because of tribalism & religious bigotry(local xenophobia) , Nigger area comes to mind . There is no worse hate than the hate between brothers because as long as they continue fighting themselves, no progress will take place in their home ......that my dear is Nigeria . Ur own toxicity is a major cause of your underdevelopment, now that should be your main concern not South Africa .
Lionessza6: You mean incompetent Nigerians, elected by other Nigerians? . Why are making excuses for your toxic nature ? . Your people run away from yourselves " incompetent leaders " ,only to arrive in countries with better leaders and start their toxic shyt again . So what's their excuse ? You find them in every prison for the same crimes they're known for in Nigeria, why are spreading your toxicity ?
If you don't come to SA ,you will never experience our bad side ,but with you it's a different case you travel around spreading your vile nature ,why? Smh.
Well I only know that the word Xenophobia is similar to Toxicity nature and wherever anyone sees or hear that word(Xenophobia) SOUTH AFRICA comes to mind....Lolz
Lionessza6: Ofcourse you don't have time for foreigners, you're too busy slaughtering fellow Nigerians and chasing them out of your regions . Nigerians are treated like crap both at home & abroad .....now that's some Toxic shyt right there .
You have the internet at your disposal ,use it to get the information you need .
It's expected with the incompetent leadership status. Coupled with the crimes associated with some few Nigerians that made international news due to the high rate at which Nigerians travel and high rate of insurgences. South Africans on their part have a relatively stable leadership status hence they rarely travel so why the Toxicity in them? SMH
Lionessza6: LMFAO, what about the fulani herdsmen they're killing and chasing out of their land? . Not toxic enough? . What about kidnapping of children at school ,not toxic enough ? . What about the religious & cult wars in your street corners , not toxic enough? . Yes ,you dont kill foreigners but you kidnap them .
Dude ,please face your front, you have a lot to work and so do South Africans,but we don't go around acting all holly .
Why don't you google the story ,I will not spoon feed you.
The word there is foreigners! You are beginning to come out as someone that has comprehension inabilities. More so you have failed to show screenshot proof of your claims that it wasn't South Africans that killed Dube.
Deep Quote Ability to read and comprehend is a superpower. YOU LACK IT.
Lionessza6: It was actually illegal immigrants who killed Dube,they thought he was a Nigerian drug dealer they were hunting down.
@ the bolded ,South Africa has far too many people who have destroyed their own countries coming here to cause problems, therefore there's bound to be conflicts between them and the locals.
Tell me,why Nigerians are so toxic to one another ,to the point that others call their own nation a zoo out of frustration?
They are not Toxic to a point of killing foreigners! BTW kindly post screenshot of your claims that the killers of Lucky Dube were not South Africans...i see you posted so many screenshot of Nigerian crimes..kindly do the needful to as per Lucky Dube else no need quoting me. This is my last response if you can't prove that the person(s) that killed Dube and also the thief that stole the IPad were immigrants .
Nigeria has so many dull literate persons. In a sane society Buhari would be facing multiple impeachments. This man if literate doesn't know anything about DEMOCRACY! Though I blame the rubber stamps Senators.
Lionessza6: LMFAO,what a weak comeback. Those leaders are Nigerians, and they are displaying to the world how the average nigerian reasons and acts,so don't be quick to isolate their bafoonery,they are you and you're them. Are your civil servants who need bribes to do their jobs not the average Nigerians ?
We don't like illegal immigrants because; 1. Cheap labour 2. Involvement in criminal activities, we have our own criminals we dont want anymore. 3. They're a burden to our infrastructure; schools ,hospitals etc.
Now tell me ,why are you such a tribalistic country ? Why are so toxic to fellow Nigerians ? Why is there so much hate between muslims & Christians ( both Nigerians ). ?
You didn't answer my question....i didn't ask about illegal immigrants..my question is why are many SA citizens toxic. It's quite evident so much that they killed LUCKY DUBE as a result of this trait. I'm sure it wasn't an illegal immigrant that stole the President's IPad on National TV? Nigeria is multitribal(thousands if tribes) about three thousand tribes so tribalism is expected in such situations since the leaders can't find a way to unify them.
Lionessza6: I repeat ; your passport is weak because of your toxic nature, in every country you go to ,your people are treated with suspicion. Facts! You need to work on that image yourselves before lecturing others ,dont you think ?
Passport been weak is no longer news and that is because we have always had more of a very weak & cluelessly corrupt military leadership...hence the criminally minded citizens saw it as a norm to be in crime moreso found their way abroad since their crimes gave them access to cash and travelling outside the shores made possible. It's what it is...however can you tell me why South Africans are Toxic towards other Africans even with a stable Leadership since Independence? I hope you won't blame Nigeria for such character been shown to the world by South Africans.
Lionessza6: And yet Nigerians are the ones who are chased around like thugs in every country they go to . Funny lol.
Every country you say? SMH @you....your Ignorant TOXICITY is glearing and you are obviously only attracted to news revolving around the few Nigerians vises without considering the facts that Nigerians were also pivotal towards the struggle and Independence actualization of South Africa vis a vis Freedom to Heroic NELSON MANDELA! Nigerians are in government cabinets of so many western and African countries #Facts. So many South Africans need to work on their Toxicity.
Cutezt: I think they stole my iPad’: Ramaphosa puzzled as gadget goes Awol
President Cyril Ramaphosa briefly misplaced his iPad before making an important announcement. File photo. President Cyril Ramaphosa briefly misplaced his iPad before making an important announcement.
Moments before delivering an important announcement in Cape Town on Tuesday, President Cyril Ramaphosa, who is a stickler for time, had a moment of panic when he could not locate his iPad.
His announcement that the National Ports Authority was now an independent subsidiary of Transnet was briefly delayed because he was unable to find the device which contained his speech, bringing comic relief into the room.
After being introduced to the podium by acting presidency spokesperson Tyrone Seale, Ramaphosa said in jest: “I am looking for my iPad. Somebody stole my iPad.
“Somebody decided they want to dispossess me of my iPad, so I want that. Can I have my iPad please? They stole it.”
Ramaphosa, who looked genuinely puzzled, then said: “I had my iPad.”
Holding the microphone and looking sideways, he asked Seale: “Do you know where they took my iPad to?
“This is the problem of always handing your gadgets to other people. It is always best that I should keep all these things with me all the time.”
Looking at Seale, a seemingly confused Ramaphosa said: “I had my iPad. I had it in my hand. It’s gone. I have lost it, it seems.”
The president rarely deviates from his written speeches.
Seale asked Ramaphosa to take a seat while officials tried to locate the device.
Seale later reintroduced the guests and invited Ramaphosa back to the podium. With his iPad in hand, the president thanked guests for their patience and made his announcement.
Interesting if this is TRUE. Howbeit @OP using the acronym AWOL for an inanimate object in this context is quite wrong...Be guided. Knowing that AWOL means AWAY WITHOUT OFFICIAL LEAVE.
