Aregbesola’s old tweet about Tinubu’s leadership resurfaces after ‘govt of scammers’ comment

An old social media post by former Osun State governor Rauf Aregbesola praising President Bola Tinubu’s leadership has resurfaced online following his recent description of the current administration as a “government of scammers.” The 2017 tweet, now widely shared on X, showed Aregbesola crediting Tinubu for shaping his political career, saying: “Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership and the opportunity to work with him to take Lagos forward was a huge factor in making me who I am today.” The renewed attention came after Aregbesola, now national secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), criticised the Tinubu administration while addressing delegates at the party’s national convention. Speaking at the event, he attacked the “Renewed Hope” agenda and urged Nigerians to stop the ruling party from retaining power in 2027. “Four years ago, this government promised Nigerians renewed hope for a better […]

ADC national convention: Security beefed up as 3,000 delegates elect new NWC

Security has been tightened in and around the Rainbow Event Centre in Abuja, venue of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) national convention. About 3,000 delegates are expected to take part in the convention, where they will elect members of a new National Working Committee (NWC) to run the party’s affairs for the next four years. Personnel of the Nigeria Police and the Department of State Services (DSS) are stationed at the main entrance, subjecting delegates and journalists to thorough security checks before granting access. Patrol vehicles have also been positioned at strategic locations around the venue. The convention is taking place against the backdrop of a leadership crisis in the ADC, with two factions laying claim to control of the party. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had earlier suspended recognition of all factions, following Court of Appeal rulings and […]

BREAKING: El-Rufai in court as trial resumes

Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai on Monday appeared before the Kaduna State High Court as his trial instituted by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) resumed. El-Rufai is standing trial alongside Amadu Sule on charges bordering on abuse of office, fraud, intent to commit fraud and conferring undue advantage, among others. Before proceedings began, he was overheard chatting with an associate about the forthcoming convention of the African Democratic Congress, asking, “So tomorrow is our convention, right?” to which the associate replied, “God willing,” indicating his continued involvement in party affairs despite the ongoing case. In a related development, El-Rufai is also facing a separate 10-count charge before the Federal High Court in Kaduna. The case involves alleged abuse of office, money laundering and fraud linked to N579.6 million and 1.1 million dollars, filed […]

ADC crisis deepens as David Mark‑led NWC, state chairmen clash over party control

The leadership crisis rocking the African Democratic Congress has worsened as a bloc of state chairmen has openly clashed with the David Mark‑led National Working Committee over control of the party. The 25 chairmen, who say they constitute the core of the party’s National Executive Committee, announced in Abuja that they have collectively assumed interim leadership of the ADC. Their move follows the Independent National Electoral Commission’s decision to delist Mark and National Secretary Rauf Aregbesola from its records and to stop recognising any of the contending factions pending a court ruling. INEC’s action, based on a Court of Appeal judgment in the leadership dispute between Mark and Nafiu Bala Gombe, effectively left the party without an officially recognised national chairman. Led by Abia chairman Don Norman Obinna, the state chairmen rejected both the Mark coalition and the Gombe camp, […]

ADC NEC takes over party administration, appoints interim leadership

The National Executive Council of the African Democratic Congress has announced that it is taking over the administration of the party and putting in place an interim leadership structure. The move follows a prolonged leadership tussle and multiple court cases over who legally controls the ADC ahead of the 2027 elections. At an emergency NEC meeting in Abuja, key stakeholders resolved to sideline the warring factions and mandated a caretaker team to manage the party’s affairs until a national convention is held. Leaders aligned with former interim chairman David Mark and other elders said the step became necessary to stabilise the party and restore confidence among members and aspirants. The interim leadership has been tasked with organising a credible national convention, reconciling aggrieved blocs and ensuring strict adherence to the party’s constitution and the Electoral Act. NEC members also warned […]

Presidency rejects claim of secret tax law changes

The Presidency has rejected allegations that it secretly altered provisions of Nigeria’s new tax reform laws, insisting that no changes were made outside the proper legal and legislative process. The denial comes as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi, opposition parties and several civil society groups demand a halt to implementation and a thorough investigation.​ President Bola Tinubu signed four tax reform bills into law, which together form what the government calls the most far reaching overhaul of Nigeria’s tax system in decades. The new framework, anchored on the Nigeria Revenue Service, includes the Nigeria Tax Act, the Nigeria Tax Administration Act, the Nigeria Revenue Service Establishment Act and the Joint Revenue Board Establishment Act.​ According to the Federal Government, the reforms aim to simplify compliance, broaden the tax base, remove overlapping taxes and […]

Withdrawal of Escorts: Fear Grips VIPs as Police Plan Modalities

Fear has spread among Nigeria's VIPs following President Bola Tinubu’s order for the withdrawal of police escort services. The move, publicized by presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga, tasks the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) with VIP protection, freeing police for their core public safety duties. The decision, aimed at confronting nationwide security threats, has prompted uncertainty among influential persons, who question the NSCDC’s ability to provide adequate security compared to battle-ready mobile police units. Police sources cite heavy incoming calls from anxious VIPs, with some likening this shift to “engaging boy scouts,” fearing lower training and operational readiness. Security experts highlight years of resource diversion, with many police officers reassigned from community patrol to escort convoys, leaving neighborhoods under-protected. The African Democratic Congress (ADC) and civil society groups criticize the move as “political theatre” and not a strategic solution […]
