2027: Support for Tinubu deepens rift in PDP

Fresh tension has erupted in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as internal divisions widen over whether the opposition party should back President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027 or present its own presidential candidate. A faction led by former minister Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, with the support of Oyo State governor Seyi Makinde, has firmly rejected any plan to adopt Tinubu, insisting it would be “improper” for an opposition party to endorse the flag bearer of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC. The rival camp, aligned with Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike, is more open to supporting Tinubu and currently backs the National Caretaker Committee organising Sunday’s March 29 national convention in Abuja. This has left the PDP effectively split into two blocs, even as reconciliation talks continue and some court cases are expected to be withdrawn if a political […]

Oyo orders traders, drivers back to Iwo Road bus terminal

The Oyo State Road Traffic Management Authority has ordered traders and commercial drivers operating along major roads around Iwo Road in Ibadan to vacate the roadside and return to the Iwo Road Bus Terminal. The agency said the directive is aimed at restoring order, easing traffic congestion and improving environmental cleanliness in the area. OYRTMA Chairman, Major Adekoya Adesagba (rtd), gave the order during an enforcement and inspection visit to the terminal on Wednesday. He said the authority received reports that many motorists and traders had abandoned the government built facility and moved back to the roadside, causing renewed traffic problems. Adesagba warned that roadside trading and loading can lead to severe traffic gridlock and accidents. He explained that when traders and vehicles occupy road shoulders and lanes, they reduce space for moving traffic and increase the risk of crashes. […]

Court clears ex Aviation Minister Oduah, aide in N2.4b fraud case

An FCT High Court sitting in Maitama has discharged former Minister of Aviation Stella Oduah and her former aide, Gloria Odita, from an alleged N2.4 billion fraud case brought by the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation. Justice Hamza Muazu issued the order after the prosecution formally withdrew the charges against them and filed an amended case listing only two companies as defendants.

In the amended two count charge, Sobora International was accused of unlawfully possessing N838 million, while Global Offshore and Marine was alleged to have unlawfully possessed N1.629 billion.

NBA condemns alleged judicial bullying, demands release of detained lawyers

The Nigerian Bar Association has condemned what it calls a growing pattern of judicial overreach and intimidation of lawyers, following reports of judges ordering the detention of legal practitioners in controversial circumstances in Rivers State and Abuja. NBA President Mazi Afam Osigwe said the association received reports from a Rivers State High Court in Port Harcourt, where Justice Chinwendu Nwogu allegedly convicted and ordered the detention of defence counsel Mrs Lovinah Ugbana Benjamin for contempt after delivering judgment in Suit No. PHC/301/2016, Bodiseowei Zidougha v. Chief of Naval Staff and others. According to the NBA, the judge claimed the naval lawyer committed contempt in the face of the court by making false statements and imputations against the court in her written address. The association described the action as high handed and warned that such use of contempt powers undermines the […]

Court orders arrest of PDP factional chairman Turaki

An FCT High Court sitting in Maitama has ordered the arrest of factional Peoples Democratic Party National Chairman, Senator Kabiru Tanimu Turaki. Justice Peter Kekemeke issued a bench warrant on Thursday after Turaki failed to appear in court for his arraignment on a criminal charge. Turaki is facing a one count charge filed by the Inspector General of Police accusing him of giving false information to the police. The alleged offence relates to a petition he wrote on October 5, 2022 against one Saidi Mohammed Mainasara, which prosecutors say was intended to misuse the IGP’s lawful powers to the injury or annoyance of Mainasara. When the case was called, prosecution counsel Usman Rabiu told the court that the matter was fixed for Turaki to take his plea. He said Turaki had been duly served with the charge and a hearing […]

Makinde, Wike camps begin talks to save PDP before 2027

The Peoples Democratic Party says it has pulled back from the brink of a major internal crisis as camps loyal to Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike begin reconciliation talks. Party leaders hope the dialogue will stabilise the PDP ahead of the 2027 general elections. For months, tensions between the two camps spilled into court cases, public exchanges and behind the scenes power struggles, raising doubts about the party’s unity and readiness for future polls. Under growing pressure, both sides are now choosing engagement over confrontation. Speaking in Abuja, factional PDP National Chairman Kabiru Tanimu Turaki said the party’s National Working Committee, aligned with the Makinde camp, made the first moves to ease tensions after the intervention of the Board of Trustees led by Senator Adolphus Wabara. He said the BoT set up a […]
