WIKE-LED PDP FACTION GIVES APC NATIONAL SECRETARY 48 HOURS TO APOLOGISE

Image
The faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) loyal to Nyesom Wike has asked Ajibola Basiru, national secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), to apologise to the FCT minister within 48 hours. On Monday, Basiru asked Wike to resign his appointment and focus on what he described as an “obsession” with Rivers state politics. Wike had asked the APC national secretary to stay off Rivers politics. In a statement issued on Tuesday and signed by Etim Isong, factional zonal publicity secretary of the PDP south-south, the faction condemned Basiru’s “personal attack” on Wike.  The group said Basiru’s remarks were inappropriate and capable of undermining the administration of President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 election. The statement said it was perplexing that Basiru, who “failed to produce a governor for the APC” in Osun state in 2023, would seek to question the political relevance of Wike in Rivers state. The faction said Basiru’s suggestion that Wike’s suppor...

Prophet Ekong Ituen has issued a stern warning to Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, stating that his tenure in office may be coming to an end due to alleged neglect of spiritual guidance.

Image
“When You Don’t Give A Woman Money, The Relationship Tends To Last Longer” — Relationship Advisor, GehGeh, Reveals  Controversial media personality GehGeh has stirred reactions online following remarks he made during Carter Efe’s live stream, where he openly shared his views on money and commitment in relationships. While speaking on the live session, GehGeh stated, “When you don’t give a woman money, the relationship tends to last longer. Women stay where they’ve sacrificed and put in effort.” He argued that sacrifice plays a major role in emotional attachment, claiming that people are more likely to value relationships they have invested in.

GehGeh clarified that his comments were based on observation rather th...

AFCON: VICTOR OSIMHEN REPORTEDLY THREATENED TO LEAVE SUPER EAGLES CAMP FOLLOWING VIRAL OUTBURST TOWARDS TEAMMATE LOOKMAN

Image
Victor Osimhen reportedly thr£atened to quit Nigeria’s Afcon squad after an on-pitch cl@sh with Ademola Lookman, Fulham forward, during their 4–0 win over Mozambique. The incident followed earlier teamwork as Lookman set up two of Osimhen’s goals, but frustration grew when passes didn’t reach him. Osimhen confronted Lookman aggressively, pushed aside captain Wilfred Ndidi, and was even restrained by a Mozambique defender before being substituted for Moses Simon. After the match, he left the stadium early, dropped his accreditation, and said he was “done” with the national team, planning to return to Turkey. The episode raises concerns over Osimhen’s temperament, coming after a previous clash with former coach Finidi George. Meanwhile, Lookman remains Afcon’s standout performer with seven goal contributions, but Nigeria’s victory has been overshadowed by the potential crisis with their star striker.
