On AIT’s Focus Nigeria, Betta Edu disclosed that the PDP has set up a delegation to reach out to Peter Obi. Obi left the party in May 2022 and later ran as the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in 2023.

Edu said he is personally leading talks not only with Obi but with other former PDP members. He refused to name them until negotiations conclude.

Reflecting on the 2023 contest, Edu admitted he would have backed Obi over Atiku Abubakar. He urged Nigerians to return, insisting the party crisis is over and pledging a credible alternative to the APC in 2027.

He also lambasted the current government over rising prices and deepening poverty, saying many Nigerians struggle to survive under soaring living costs.

Giringory fears he cannot win delegates outside his Southeast base. He refuses to face formal LP primaries.

Rivers LP may not back him after he traded their gubernatorial slot for Wike’s support. Lagos delegates were sidelined in favour of Southeast candidates. Will Southwest or Northeast delegates vote for him?

The Umuahia faction backing Obi looks set to bypass primaries and impose their ethnic champion. Even in ADC he demands anointment rather than contest.

These patterns show contempt for democratic processes. God forbid he wins the presidency—how would he handle the legislature without respect for party rules?

The Class of 1999 governors met President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja to discuss Nigeria’s security, economy, and agriculture.

Chairman Chief Lucky Igbinedion stressed that without security there can be no progress. He also urged the President to stabilise the naira and focus on sustainable job creation.

They recommended establishing cottage industries in each of the 774 local government areas instead of handing out one-off N5,000 palliatives. Such industries, they argued, would generate lasting jobs and economic relief for rural communities.

President Tinubu received their proposals warmly and pledged to explore these ideas to bring tangible support to the people.

On 25 February 2023, I walked over 45 minutes to vote for Peter Obi. I believed he alone had the courage to end our fuel subsidy and stabilise the naira.

Today, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has removed the fuel subsidy, unified exchange rates, and paid off foreign debt. He’s also pushing tax reforms to boost government revenue.

I expected these bold reforms from Obi, but Tinubu has surprised me on many fronts. Security and infrastructure still lag, yet the 2025–2027 MTEF shows real promise for roads, ports, and rail.

Nigeria still faces many challenges. But compared to the disaster I feared, this administration has done better. The darkest hour is just before dawn, and I believe our dawn is near.

Marine and Blue Economy Minister Adegboyega Oyetola has officially stated he will not run in the 2026 Osun State governorship election. He encouraged all aspiring candidates to engage party leaders and grassroots members as they prepare for the primaries.

Oyetola, who governed Osun from 2018 to 2022 before losing to Senator Ademola Adeleke, wished his party colleagues well. He stressed that maintaining unity within the All Progressives Congress is vital for a strong campaign.

Several contenders have already signalled their interest. These include NIWA boss Bola Oyebamiji, APC National Secretary Ajibola Basiru, Dotun Babayemi, Akin Ogunbiyi, and Senator Babajide Omoworare.

Chief John Odigie Oyegun, former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, has acknowledged that the coalition which birthed the APC ahead of the 2015 elections was a mistake. Speaking at his Benin residence during a meeting with African Democratic Congress stakeholders, he said past failures should not deter a renewed political struggle. He endorsed Professor Osarhiemen Osunbor’s earlier apology and described how the APC replaced one flawed government with another.

Oyegun announced the formation of a committee for membership registration and revalidation in Edo State. He said the move would ensure a smooth, rancour-free process and extend the coalition’s message across the state. He also revealed that breakaway groups from the Social Democratic Party have joined the ADC. Professor Osunbor added that Nigerians remain dissatisfied with the current administration and urged a return to true multiparty democracy.

Kemi Badenoch sparked debate when she claimed on CNN that Nigerian women cannot pass citizenship to their children. Deji Yesufu points out this is incorrect under Nigeria’s constitution. He argues that her mistake reveals her detachment from local politics more than any malicious intent.

Yesufu explains that Kemi’s critical view of Nigeria stems from her upbringing and her late father’s beliefs. He suggests her relentless critiques on the international stage may actually pressure Nigeria to reform.

The essay shifts to the real issues holding Nigeria back: poor leadership driven by money politics and divided citizens who seek foreign escapes instead of improving their communities. Yesufu urges Nigerians to demand visionary, selfless leaders and to contribute locally rather than rely on foreign interventions.

In closing, Deji Yesufu reminds readers that Kemi Badenoch is not Nigeria’s problem. True change lies in the hands of Nigerians who must choose to build their country rather than seek refuge abroad.

I came across a thread about influencer Ghali Osma’il being remanded for spreading the false rumor that Tinubu died of food poisoning.

It reminded me of Nnamdi Kanu’s trial. He was charged with 15 counts but not for claiming Buhari died in 2017 and was kidnapped from Kenya to Nigeria.

Their refusal to prosecute Kanu for that claim makes me wonder if the government quietly admits Buhari actually died back then. Maybe they feared a DNA test would expose the truth.

It feels like we’re being played by those in power.

Several northern socio-political bodies, including the Arewa Consultative Forum, Coalition of Northern Groups, League of Northern Democrats, and Arewa Youth Consultative Council, have thrown their weight behind Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. They support his assertion that President Tinubu’s administration is channeling national resources disproportionately to the South, leaving the North with deteriorating infrastructure, rising poverty, and insecurity.

The Federal Government, through its Media Adviser Sunday Dare, rejected these allegations as misleading. He pointed to major road and highway projects in the North—such as the Abuja–Kaduna–Kano Expressway, Sokoto–Badagry Super Highway, and Kano–Maiduguri Dual Carriageway—as evidence of federal investment in the region.

Despite these denials, northern leaders insist that key appointments, budget allocations, and new projects remain skewed in favour of the South-West. They cited unfinished roads, delayed expressway upgrades, and industrial projects planted outside the region’s core areas as proof of ongoing neglect.

Some observers urge patience, noting that structural reforms take time to yield results. They call on the Tinubu administration to improve transparency, share regional development plans openly, and engage northern stakeholders to restore trust and ensure balanced growth across all regions.

On June 3rd or 4th, I was invited by the Academic Staff Union of Universities at UNN, Nsukka, to deliver a lecture. As a former governor, I respect unwritten protocols. I asked my aide to contact the Enugu State governor to inform him of my visit and request help with transport and security.

There is no legal requirement for this, but it is a matter of decency and personal discipline. I have seen this practice upheld even when I hosted former President Obasanjo in Edo State. Despite our past disagreements, we accorded each other full respect.

Edo State assets belong to the office of the governor. If any public figure—myself included—visits a state-owned institution, they should notify the sitting governor. Peter Obi’s motives may be good, but he should observe this courtesy.

Informing the governor is not about seeking permission. It is about showing respect for the constitutional authority in each state.

The Sabra and Shatila massacre took place in Lebanon between 16 and 18 September 1982. Lebanese Christian Phalangist militias, backed and authorised by Israeli military forces, entered the two adjoining Palestinian refugee camps near Beirut. Over forty hours, they executed civilians, looted homes and committed widespread atrocities.

Tensions had risen after the PLO’s negotiated evacuation from Beirut under a US-sponsored agreement. Israeli troops surrounded the camps and coordinated with the Phalangists to “search for terrorists” allegedly left behind. Eyewitness testimonies and the Israeli Kahan Commission later confirmed Israel’s involvement in planning and supervision.

Casualty estimates vary widely from about 700 to over 3,500. Most victims were Palestinian refugees, their Lebanese neighbours and a few foreign workers. The massacre provoked worldwide outrage and remains a grim chapter in Lebanon’s civil war history.

The Ukrainian parliament has approved a law letting men and women aged 60 and above sign up for military service under contract.

In the final reading, 306 MPs backed the measure. It allows former servicemen who have reached the age limit to continue defending Ukraine if they are fit and willing.

Critics warn the bill lacks clear rules on who will vet candidates, opening the door to potential abuses or selective enlistment.

The law takes effect once President Zelensky signs and publishes it. The move comes amid a personnel shortfall, prompting Kyiv to recruit young volunteers, foreign nationals, and stateless individuals.

Media reports claimed President Bola Tinubu secretly met NNPP leader Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso at the Presidential Villa. Close aides of Kwankwaso and presidency sources have since debunked the story.

Speculation about Kwankwaso rejoining the APC as Tinubu’s 2027 running mate grew after former APC chairman Ganduje’s resignation. Kwankwaso fired back publicly, accusing the administration of neglecting the North. The presidency responded with a list of over 40 federal projects in northern Nigeria.

Political analysts say Kwankwaso is using these events to pressure Tinubu and sharpen his options for 2027. He may seek concessions, strengthen his NNPP base, or explore alliances with opposition coalitions.

Ibusa’s governance has grown too fragmented. Multiple groups claim authority. This has weakened leadership and slowed progress.

Rebuilding the Obuzor system starts with a clear separation of powers. The Izu Ani parliament must be revived as the legislative branch. The executive and judicial branches need proper authority and respect.

Traditional courts should regain the people’s trust. We must limit power grabs by individuals and groups. A reviewed Obuzor white paper can guide this process.

Youth seminars and workshops are vital. They will reconnect young people to Ibusa’s culture and governance. With strong institutions and respect for authority, Ibusa can overcome conflicts and drive development.

I registered to vote in 2023 only because of Peter Obi.

He still owes Nigerians answers about his defection from the PDP and his split with Atiku Abubakar and Wike.

The zoning pattern has systematically sidelined the North Central and Southeast, raising questions about fairness and transparency.

As 2027 approaches, Obi must rebuild his coalition, secure northern votes, and make decisive moves if he hopes to break APC’s hold on power.

Why Peter Obi Could Fade into Political Oblivion by 2027

You claim Tinubu has taken over the South and only needs a few Northern votes. But which part of the South do you really mean?

Atiku walked away from the PDP after betrayal by those who sold out for peanuts. None of them—even Wike or Ugwuanyi—can win a councillorship in their own wards. Tinubu has no real support in the South-South or South-East, where Obi dominates.

You insist Tinubu lost the North and that Obi will come second with Northern votes. That’s laughable. Atiku controls the North and only needs a solid showing in the South. After 2027, corrupt politicians may find themselves facing EFCC investigations.

Peter Obi faces a pivotal moment as he weighs a coalition with the African Democratic Congress. This move risks alienating his grassroots supporters amid turmoil within the Labour Party.

In Edo State, Press Secretary Christian Aburime warns of national integration strains. Governor Okphebolo’s decision to bar Obi from entering Edo has deepened regional tensions.

Meanwhile, President Tinubu appoints Professor Nentawe Yilwatda as APC national chairman. This strategic choice aims to secure the North Central ahead of 2027. Together, these shifts signal a dramatic and unpredictable path to the next general election.

Chief Hon. Sam Soni Ejekwu, PhD, KGS and former Rivers State Commissioner, has extended warm congratulations to His Excellency Chief (Barr.) Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, CON, Honourable Minister of the Federal Capital Territory. The minister was awarded a Doctor of Science (D.Sc. Honoris Causa) by the University of Port Harcourt.

In a message obtained by Dez Mayorz News, Chief Ejekwu praised Wike’s exceptional leadership, steadfast commitment to public service, and significant contributions to governance and infrastructure development. He noted that this academic honour further cements the minister’s legacy and inspires a new generation of Nigerian leaders.

When you study recent election data, one fact stands out: a reunited Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi ticket could crush the APC.

In 2019, the Atiku/Obi ticket scored 11.3 million votes against Buhari/Osinbajo’s 15.2 million. In 2023, Tinubu/Shettima managed just 8.8 million votes, while Atiku and Obi separately drew nearly 14 million.

Tinubu’s 2023 win was all about splitting the opposition. He knew a united ticket would hit over 12 million votes. Now, disillusionment in the North and youth anger in the South could swing 2027 decisively.

The APC may try to use Kwankwaso as a spoiler or lure Obi back into PDP. But if Atiku and Obi reunite with a solid strategy, they could turn 2027 into a referendum on Tinubu’s performance.

The APC’s recent choice of a North-Central minority Christian as national chairman looks like a bid to scout votes for the 2027 election under a Muslim–Muslim ticket.

Yet this same leader campaigned against every southern president from Obasanjo through Jonathan, only to now claim he’s championing a 2025 southern presidency. What changed?

Beyond fancy statistics and campaign rhetoric, where is the APC’s real performance scorecard? Is this move genuine or merely a political strategy?
