She also alleged that on a particular night, Akpabio credited her account with Five Million Naira (N500,000,000.00) meant for a road project in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

POLITICS: El-Rufai Dumps APC for SDP

By -
Image
  The former kaduna state governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai made this known on his official Facebook page today. He wrote... As a founding member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), I have fond memories of working with other compatriots to negotiate the merger of political parties that created the APC. It had been my hope since 2013 that my personal values and that of the APC will continue to align up to the time I choose to retire from politics.  Developments in the last two years confirm that there is no desire on the part of those who currently control and run the APC to acknowledge, much less address, the unhealthy situation of the party.  On my part, I have raised concerns in private and, more recently, in public regarding the capricious trajectory of the party. Therefore, at this point in my political journey, I have come to the conclusion that I must seek another political platform for the pursuit of the progressive values I cherish.  Founders rightly feel att...

The former spoke person to the presidential candidate of the labor party, Bar. Kenneth Okonkwo stated this on his X handle on the 11/02/2025 To all Nigerians of Goodwill,  RESIGNATION FROM LABOUR PARTY  I thank, most sincerely, all Nigerians of goodwill for the immense support given to us during the 2023 presidential election in which Nigerians believed our message for a new Nigeria and voted for us across ethnic and religious lines. We were the only party that had 25% foothold in all six Geo-Political Zones and the Federal Capital Territory. I believe that we won the election under the Labour Party with your support but were denied the victory through technical glitch. 2. By 25th February 2025, it will be two years we had the 2023 presidential election and will be two years before the next presidential election. It’s a democratic convention worldwide that effective political consultations, alignments, and re-alignments commence two years to the next election. Unfortunately, t...

Governor Otu And The Politics of 2027: A Dance For The Initiates

By -
Image
  By Umezulike Desmond-cruz. Unfortunately, the Politics of 2027 has already began in Cross River State. As early as this may appear, there are already signs of unholy whispers from henchmen within the corridors of peregrino House, suggesting that some members of the National Assembly are already on the watchlist for possible replacement. In the Southern Senatorial District–which is apparently the epicenter of this macabre dance– there seem to be a proxy war between Senator Asuquo Ekpenyong Jnr. and Governor Prince Otu, with some men in the governor's camp declaring vacant, the Senate seat of the southern Senatorial District ahead of 2027. The #100million NDDC saga and the indefinite suspension of Nkot Mbok, are mere thrillers of the armageddon-like political fisticuffs brewing in the South.  While in the Central Senatorial District, there is a cold war brewing amongst APC Stakeholders, that seems to threaten the continuity of Senator Eteng Jones beyond 2027. A new masquerade–...
