PDP Chieftain Rejects Zoning, Calls for Merit in 2027

Former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has opposed the party’s zoning plan for the 2027 presidential ticket, arguing that competence should take priority over regional rotation. Speaking on Arise Television’s The Morning Show on Thursday, Olawepo-Hashim said zoning encourages division instead of unity, stressing that leadership ability is not tied to any part of the country. “Let’s focus on what unites us, not what divides us. Nigeria does not need zoning to produce a competent president. A capable leader can come from anywhere,” he stated. He cited historical examples, noting that former President Olusegun Obasanjo won the PDP ticket in 1999 through an open contest, unlike former President Goodluck Jonathan, who benefited from zoning but later lost re-election. According to Olawepo-Hashim, insisting on zoning could weaken the PDP against the ruling All Progressives Congress […]

Amaechi Backs Tinubu’s Policies But Slams Leaders: “Gains Go to Private Pockets, Not Nigerians!”

Former Minister Rotimi Amaechi delivered a sharp message at his 60th birthday in Abuja. He revealed he would have pursued similar policies to President Bola Tinubu if he led Nigeria. But he issued a major warning: ordinary Nigerians aren’t feeling the benefits. Amaechi’s Core Critique: Where’s the Public Good?Amaechi didn’t mince words: "The failure is that the gains of those policies are in their private pockets." He claims the intended results of reforms like subsidy removal enrich private individuals, not the masses. His question hit hard: *"We paid 4-5 trillion Naira in subsidies – where is that money now? If it went into the economy, people wouldn’t be complaining."* The Root Problem: Sharing vs. BuildingThe ex-Rivers Governor pinpointed a deeper issue in Nigerian politics. "Our politicians lack capitalist ideas," he stated. "Elites only fight about sharing resources, not creating them." He argued this "sharing mentality" blocks real progress that could help […]

Kalu to Opposition: ‘APC Stands Unshaken, Tinubu’s Record Speaks’ Senator Orji Kalu (Abia North) has vehemently dismissed claims that President Tinubu’s swelling 2027 endorsements stem from ruling-party jitters, declaring the APC “fearless” and motivated solely by Tinubu’s “transformative leadership.” The Senate Committee Chairman on South-East Development challenged critics to match Tinubu’s results, not amplify “cheap propaganda.” ‘No Fear, Only Results’ – Kalu’s Defence Addressing Senate correspondents in Abuja, Kalu framed endorsements as organic: “APC fears no coalition.
