2023 Tinubu, Atiku, And The Brotherhood Of Corruption

2023: Tinubu, Atiku, And The Brotherhood Of Corruption

January 19, 2023 2:26 am

Isn’t it amusing to find out that with less than 40 days to the general elections, the two major gladiators who are front runners to take President Muhammadu Buhari’s job are calling for each other’s arrest and prosecution for almost the same reason? The two political juggernauts who are essentially six and half a dozen clearly have nothing to offer Nigerians and it appears they are tired of trying to prove otherwise. 

Ahead of the February 25th elections, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and his counterpart from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), …

Imo Uzodinma Will Be Deluding Himself For A Second Term

Imo: Uzodinma Will Be Deluding Himself For A Second Term

December 29, 2022 2:28 am

Following his emergence as Governor on the 14th of January 2020 through what he has now agreed to be ‘Ben Johnson’ theatrics, Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma had just one job, win the hearts of Ndi Imo, sadly he has failed abysmally at that task. Why then is he seeking re-election?

Deep down within Governor Uzodinma’s dark heart, he knows he was not the Governor that was voted by the people of Imo State. Just like the former Governor of Osun State, Gboyega Oyetola who was declared winner of the Osun State Governorship election in a contest that many Nigerians …

2023: G-5 Governors And Their Hypocritical Cry For Justice

2023: G-5 Governors And Their Hypocritical Cry For Justice

December 29, 2022 2:18 am

It is without a doubt that justice is the means through which established injustices are stationed, however, the golden eye of justice always has a way of seeing and requiting the unjust man. Over the last six months, 5 Governors elected on the platform of Nigeria’s main opposition Party – the People’s Democratic Party, PDP have been making frantic calls for justice but how genuine are these calls?

Sometime last month, the five PDP Governors metamorphosed into what they now refer to as the ‘integrity’ group or G-5. The group which is led by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers …

2023: Nigerian Gang Of Looters Recycling Themselves

2023: Nigerian Gang Of Looters Recycling Themselves

November 30, 2022 2:58 am

Over the years, politics in Nigeria has become an old-school game – a game that allows politicians to recycle and align themselves at every turn in election cycles. These alignments have, sadly, remained based on self and group interests and not National interests, while Nigerians and Nigeria have remained the biggest losers in all of these shenanigans.

It is well-known that politics in Nigeria has been one bereft of ideology, system, and mindset. Nigerian politicians who have mastered the art of deceit and fraud have continuously played on the intelligence of gullible Nigerians without consequences. To them, it is just …

2023 Presidential Election: APC Has Already Rigged It

2023 Presidential Election: APC Has Already Rigged It

November 14, 2022 2:33 am

Many Nigerians are presently holding onto hope like a tiny rope that keeps them from falling over the edge and a dose of illusion that seems to strengthen them. As valid as their permutations with regard to the 2023 election sound, most people do not appear to understand the ruthlessness of the monster they are up against.

There is a general feeling in the land that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government of the All Progressives Party, APC has been a colossal failure and hence his party shouldn’t be rewarded at the polls. Yet, the candidate of the party, Bola Tinubu …

2023 Can Obi Become A Magician

2023: Can Obi Become A Magician?

November 7, 2022 1:24 am

When the former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi pulled a surprise in May and opted to quit Nigeria’s main opposition party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), it left political pundits flabbergasted as to what must have informed such a decision. To some people, leaving a party that almost made one a Vice President the last time there was an election reeked of desperation and poor judgement, while to others, it was a political masterstroke. The truth is that both schools of thought could be right or wrong and only the February election can provide a definite answer. One …

October 26, 2022 4:01 am

The Rivers State chapter of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) was on Tuesday hit by a major blow after a Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt nullified all the primaries conducted by the party in the state over the unlawful exclusion of some members of the party as delegates to the primaries.

This ruling came after a suit, which was brought before the court by some aggrieved members of the APC in the state who had, during the primaries of the party, lamented exclusion.

APC, Tinubu, And Shettima A Calamitous Combination

APC, Tinubu, And Shettima: A Calamitous Combination

October 23, 2022 12:49 am

With the 2023 general election about four months away, the sensibility of Nigerians has been awkwardly propped up for insults and ridicule once again. In its usual manner, the ruling party in the country – the All Progressives Congress (APC), has splashed dirty, sticky spittle on the faces of Nigerians with the choice that has been put before them for consideration. In spite of the cries and pleas of the hapless citizens of Nigeria, the party remains unfazed, unashamed, and unremorsefully in its stance; nothing could be sadder.

Almost a decade ago, a dubious special-purpose vehicle was formed in the …
