2027: Why coalition talks will fail – Sowore

 A former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has expressed concerns that the current coalition talks among opposition parties will ultimately fail and even boost President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027. Sowore gave this warning on Tuesday when he played host to Channels Television’s Politics Today, adding that the efforts lack vision and ideology. According to Sowore, the efforts lack vision and ideology and are preventing a genuine coalition of the oppressed from emerging. “It is what they [the coalition] are doing that will make it easy for him (Tinubu) to rerun and return to office. They are preventing the real, organic coalition of the oppressed from emerging. People are getting distracted — Nigerians actually think these guys are fighting for them,” Sowore affirmed. Sowore described the current coalition talks as “hollow, lacking ideological substance and purpose”. “I’m not a lone voice — the coalition is what is lonely. That’s...

The venom beneath the velvet handshake: Dapo Abiodun, Gbenga Daniel theatre of political deceit

  In the rich tapestry of Yoruba political myth, a handshake has never been a mere greeting. It is a performance, a pact, sometimes even a prelude to betrayal.  In Ogun State, where power is both currency and curse, the velvet handshakes exchanged between Governor Dapo Abiodun (DA) and Senator Gbenga Daniel (OGD) anytime their paths cross always sent ripples through the underbrush of the ruling All Progressives Congress. But beneath the smiles and camera flashes lies a coiled menace, silent, poised, venomous.  This is not just cordial exchanges between political allies; it is a theatrical gesture masking a festering rivalry. One is the seated custodian of the present; the other, a calculating maestro of the past. Their palms may meet, but their ambitions clash like tectonic plates. What Ogun is currently witnessing between the two is not unity. It is the calm hiss before the strike. A reckoning looms ahead of 2027, and these handshakes may well be the opening act in a pol...

Tinubu, Wike, other members of APC govt are urban bandits: El-Rufai

 Two years after he championed President Bola Tinubu’s campaign in 2023, former Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai says he joined others in allowing a “bandit” to become Nigeria’s leader. Mr El-rufai, who fell out with Mr Tinubu after his ministerial appointment nomination was blocked by the Senate, said this in Abuja on Saturday at the 60th birthday lecture of former Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State. “Nigeria is in its biggest trouble since 1914, and that is why we are together working and conspiring to build a coalition to take Nigeria back on track because it is off track,” Mr El-Rufai said. Calling Mr Tinubu’s administration a government of “bandits”, Mr El-Rufai said, “It has turned to this level because we have allowed bandits, not the ones in the bushes but the ones in the urban areas called the urban bandits, to take over leadership.” The former Kaduna governor berated Mr Tinubu as an incompetent leader who only knows how to grab and snatch power. “I believe that the pro...

Rivers: I was once your boss whether you like it or not – Amaechi to Wike

 A former Governor of Rivers State, Chibuike Amaechi, has responded to the claim by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, that he (Amaechi) is not his boss. Wike, during a media chat in Abuja, dismissed his former boss, saying the former Minister of Transportation is not influential. He claimed that Amaechi, even as the Director-General of the All-Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign, could not deliver Rivers State to former President Muhammadu Buhari in both the 2015 and 2019 elections. Later, through his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and social media, Lere Olayinka, Wike also criticized former presidential spokesman Reuben Abati for describing him as rude. Abati had asserted that Wike was very rude, stressing that former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi was his political boss. The Arise Television anchor made the comment in reaction to Wike’s statement that Amaechi was power-hungry and failed to deliver 10 percent of ...
