"I WISH I COULD SHOOT HIM THROUGH THE TV." - FCT MINISTER WIKE REACTS TO JOURNALIST SEUN ONE-PARTY STATE COMMENT

Image
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has revealed that he was so frustrated by a comment made by Channels Television journalist Seun Okinbaloye that he wished he could “sh++t him through the TV screen.” Wike made the remarks on Friday during a media chat in Abuja. The controversy stems from Thursday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today, which focused on the leadership crisis in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). On the show, Okinbaloye expressed concern over Nigeria potentially becoming a one-party state, noting that the ADC, seen as one of the opposition’s few alternatives, might not contest the 2027 elections due to internal crises. He said: “I’m particularly very pained because what makes the race interesting is when it’s competitive, not when only one party stands in the middle of the ballot. If the ADC one of the only hopes of the opposition cannot con...

He explained that he once campaigned in a role that required him to remain non-participatory, but he intends to continue his efforts in a personal capacity. He said, “It’s still ongoing, but I will continue doing it. I will set up my own position and try to make a difference. I’ll try to make it work because I know where I stand.” He added, “I have personally appointed myself as an ambassador of Nigeria an ambassador everywhere, I am a self-appointed ambassador of Nigeria to everywhere.”

ADC REJECTS INEC’S INTERPRETATION OF APPEAL COURT DECISION, SAYS ELECTORAL BODY UNDER GOVERNMENT PRESSURE

Image
 The African Democratic Congress has rejected the interpretation of the Court of Appeal ruling by the Independent National Electoral Commisson and removal of the names of David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola, its National Chairman and Secretary from its portal. The party said that INEC acted under pressure from a government panicked by the opposition momentum despite its efforts to destroy all opposition parties and foist a one-party rule on Nigeria. The ADC in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, described INEC’s position as contradictory and inconsistent with facts, insisting that it would publicly clarify the issues. While warning that the commission has effectively sided with the government against Nigerians, the ADC said it is currently reviewing its options and will announce its next steps soon. The party urged its members and the public to remain steadfast as events unfold.

Image
Peter Obi, 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), said he is willing to work with members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) despite corruption allegations against some of them. He explained that close engagement gives him a chance to change them positively if guilty.  Speaking on Saturday on Magic FM in Aba, Abia State, Obi cited Jesus Christ, who associated with tax collectors and pr+stitutes, as a model for influencing change. He said, “When Jesus came here, his friends were tax collectors and pr+stitutes because it’s all part of what he was trying to change. It was all part of what he was trying to build as a person.”  Obi further argued that many accused politicians are facing selective persecution. He cited Malami and El-Rufai, saying, “Everybody knows the contributions of Malami and El-Rufai to the present government. So why are they being persecuted? The law is very selectively applied because we know we could see people who have done w...
