It was reassuring that the acting chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Edo State, Mr Jarett Tenebe on Thursday evening came out to denounce reports he said linked Senator Adams Oshiomhole to the alleged plot to screen out some formidable aspirants in the contest for the party’s governorship ticket. The report had among […]

The shocking defection of one of Atiku Abubakar’s spokesmen, Daniel Bwala to President Bola Tinubu, and as such to the All Progressives Congress, APC has bewildered the nation. Though some political actors claim not to be totally shocked given their knowledge of Bwala, the greater proportion of Nigerians have been astounded by the movement of […]

It is not for nothing that the apex court in the land is called the Supreme Court. It is supreme in all things and literally can make a man a woman and vice-versa. As the last point for adjudication of all judicial cases, the finality of the Supreme Court equates it almost with the power of God. […]

Na‘Abba became the speaker of the House ofRepresentatives by the accident of the foolery of his predecessor, Salisu Buhari who was helped to office by the executive branch

President Bola Tinubu has been a fighter on both sides in the contestation of power between the presidency and governors. Last Monday and for the umpteenth time since his inauguration as president, Tinubu more than ever before brought to the fore his determination to use his new podium in the presidency to dominate his environment. We have […]

What was supposed to be the 56th birthday memorial of Nyesom Wike turned into a national political spectacle last Wednesday with weird political recitals in Rivers and Abuja.

Shaibu’s particular slant of ungratefulness had earlier been projected by his cavalier denunciation of the man he once claimed as his father, Comrade Oshiomhole at the height of the quarrel between him and Obaseki.

Undoubtedly, one of the longest political survivors of the Fourth Republic, Mr Nyesom Wike achieved another feat this week when he emerged as the undisputed leader of two major political parties in his Rivers State. The appointment of his Man Friday, Tony Okocha as chairman of the seven-man caretaker committee of the All Progressives Congress, […]

So, do we have the likes of Mr Cameron in Nigeria? We remember how many who stood on one position because of the political situation changed after their positions changed.

Voters go to the polls to elect governors in three Nigerian states that rightly or wrongly qualify as the axis of political evil in the federation. It is as such no surprise that in the approach to the election in the three states, few journalists showed interest in physically covering the election. Even more, fewer […]

Now what former Speaker Mwansat described as one of the wonders of the world began to take shape last September with the two tribunals in the state taking different decisions on the same facts and petitions.

There is no doubt that there is a deliberate effort by the APC to buy out opposition in the land and Senator Ubah is about the latest bargain.
