President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday, said he made his intention to contest the 2019 Presidential Elections known early in order to douse rising speculations and give the party, All Progressives Congress (APC), enough time to prepare for the polls.

The coast is finally getting clearer for the return of some heavyweight politicians back into the fold of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). And with barely seven months to the general elections, this is certainly a worrisome piece of bad news for the ruling party, whose national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole is struggling to put the house he inherited from the immediate past chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun, in order.

The Presidency has taken a swipe at socio-cultural groups like the Northern Elders Forum, NEF, the Afenifere, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, and leaders of other groups over their plot for the replacement of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration over perceived incompetence.

A member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Lado Suleja, has dissociated himself from rumours of his defection from the mainstream All Progressives Congress (APC), to the break-away Reformed All Progressives Congress (R-APC).

Ebonyi State Government on Friday, said the relationship between the Gov. David Umahi and President Muhammadu Buhari was mutual but non-partisan.
