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

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...

There’s fresh tension in Rivers State this hour as the State House of Assembly has formally begun impeachment proceedings against Governor Sir Siminalayi Fubara. Lawmakers loyal to the Assembly say a notice of alleged gross misconduct has been served on the governor, marking a major escalation in the long-running political crisis rocking the state. The move follows weeks of intense disagreement between the executive and the legislature over governance and constitutional issues. The impeachment process, if sustained, could significantly affect governance in Rivers State, as political actors on both sides brace for what may become a prolonged legal and political battle. Developments are still unfolding, and we’ll bring you updates as the situation progresses.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has written two letters to the Senate, seeking the appointment of Senator Abe as Chairman of the Board of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC). Senator Magnus Abe, who represented Rivers South East in the Senate for two terms, is a former NNPC board member and current chairman of the National Agency of the Great Green Wall. The President urged the Senate to approve the nominees expeditiously. Before now, the Senate had confirmed Oritsemeyiwa Eyesan as the chief executive officer (CEO) of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC). The President's announcement was signed by Bayo Onanuga Special Adviser to the President, (Information & Strategy).

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. According to the cleric, Governor Fubara allegedly ignored several spiritual directives aimed at safeguarding his political future. Prophet Ituen claimed that revelations in the spiritual realm indicate that the governor could either face impeachment or be denied the party ticket for a second term. He further called on Nigerians to pray fervently to avert what he described as an impending political crisis in Rivers State. The prophet also referenced an earlier prophecy in which he reportedly predicted the governor’s impeachment attempt. He noted that the Rivers State House of Assembly acted in line with that prediction by serving the governor a notice of impeachment, adding that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu later intervened by declaring a state of emergency, which ultimately pr...

Leaders of Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), operating under the umbrellas of the APC Leaders Forum (ALF) and the Tinubu/Shettima Solidarity Movement (TSSM), on Wednesday staged a peaceful rally in Abuja, calling for the immediate removal of Nyesom Wike as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The rally, which drew party faithful and pro-government activists, was marked by strong criticism of the former Rivers State governor’s conduct and stern warnings to the presidency over what the groups described as a growing threat to party unity and national stability. The protesters, who converged near the APC National Secretariat, said their action was motivated by what they termed “deep concern for the stability of the APC, the security of our nation, and the sanctity of democratic principles.” Carrying placards and chanting pro-Tinubu slogans, the demonstrators insisted that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu must act swiftly to preserve discipline within the ...

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.

Wike says he’ll be buried politically if Fubara secures second term Nyesom Wike, minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), says his political career would be ruined if Siminalayi Fubara, governor of Rivers, secures a second term. Speaking on Saturday during a stakeholders’ meeting in Okrika LGA of Rivers state, Wike said a decision has been made on Fubara’s second term ambition. “We have made a decision as far as Tinubu is concerned. The other one [Fubara] — no way. Because if we make another mistake, then we will go and bury ourselves politically. I will not allow myself to be buried. I will not allow that mistake again,” he said. “So everybody should know we have made a decision.”

Tambari Sydney, distributed relief items, including over 15,000 wrappers, to members of his community as part of activities marking the Christmas and New Year celebrations. Hon.

He also previously held the position of State Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Addressing beneficiaries during the presentation, Hon. Tambari explained that the gesture was aimed at sharing the joy of the festive season with his people and reaffirming his commitment to community development. He added that the initiative was also intended to galvanize grassroots support for Governor Sir Siminalayi Fubara’s backing of President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second-term bid ahead of the 2027 general...

The APC National Secretary Senator Ajibola Basiru has called on Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to immediately resign from his cabinet position. The demand follows Wike's stern warning earlier today to Basiru to "leave Rivers State alone" and steer clear of its politics, amid accusations of meddling. Wike, speaking during a thank-you visit to supporters in Oyigbo Local Government Area, described Rivers as a "no-go area" for external interference, cautioned against taking his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for granted, and alleged that some APC leaders were scrambling for alleged N600 billion "largesse" in the state. He warned that meddlers could "burn their hands," referencing past political consequences. In a statement released in Osogbo, Osun State, Basiru described Wike's response as a "tirade" and "uncouth," insisting it was provoked by his own principled defense o...
