Presidency Says Tinubu Won’t Use EFCC To Harass Opposition Over Defections

The Presidency has rejected suggestions that President Bola Tinubu is weaponising the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission against opposition figures in order to pressure them into joining the ruling All Progressives Congress. It described such claims as baseless and the product of a “failed opposition” running out of issues to campaign on.​ In a statement issued in Abuja by Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the Presidency said Tinubu would never deploy the EFCC to harass, intimidate or blackmail political rivals. Onanuga stressed that recent high profile defections to the APC were voluntary and motivated by confidence in the president’s reform agenda.​ He noted that Nigeria’s Constitution guarantees freedom of association and the right to change political affiliation at any time. According to him, no one has been compelled to join the APC and it is wrong to […]

Fears of One-Party Dominance Rise as Violent PDP Crisis Threatens Democracy

Fears of One-Party Dominance Rise as Violent PDP Crisis Threatens Democracy Nigeria’s democracy faces mounting threats as violent scenes at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) headquarters expose deepening rifts within the opposition. The struggle between Makinde-Bala Mohammed leadership and the Wike-backed faction resulted in the storming of the party secretariat, tear gas confrontations, and journalists injured in Abuja. The Wike faction expelled three governors—Seyi Makinde, Bala Mohammed, and Dauda Lawal—and several senior party leaders, escalating what observers call the largest purge in PDP history. Amid police intervention, Kabiru Turaki and his allies accused “enemies of democracy” of assaulting the party and praised law enforcement for preventing further bloodshed, though the crisis forced meetings to be postponed. Reacting to the incident, opposition parties ADC and MCE warned the ruling APC was destabilizing the opposition and accused the government of abusing state […]

Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas is officially set to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, after publicly confirming his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Two NNPP Reps Dump Party for APC Over Leadership Crisis

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in the House of Representatives has gained two new members after NNPP lawmakers Abdulmuminu Jibrin and Sagir Ibrahim Koki from Kano defected over unresolved leadership crises. The Speaker, Abbas Tajudeen, announced their defection at Thursday’s plenary. Jibrin, chair of the House Committee on Housing, resigned from NNPP and the Kwakwasiya movement earlier in the week, citing “irreconcilable differences within the leadership” at state and national levels. Sagir Koki also cited the inability to properly consult and represent his constituency due to party issues. Their defection comes just a day after a Kaduna PDP House member also joined APC, signaling further realignment ahead of 2027 elections. Members blame internal conflict for hampering their ability to serve constituents and believe switching to APC offers greater stability and representation.

APC Chieftain Onjeh Warns Trump Against Military Threat to Nigeria

Comrade Daniel Onjeh, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former Chairman of the Governing Board of the Project Development Institute (PRODA), has condemned the recent threat by former US President Donald Trump to launch military action against Nigeria over alleged religious persecution. In a statement released on Sunday, Onjeh described Trump’s comments as “dangerous and unnecessary,” warning that they could inflame tensions and distort Nigeria’s complex security situation. “The statement has alarmed many Nigerians, not because it came from President Trump alone, but because there’s a long-standing perception that some external forces always see Nigeria through the lens of instability,” he said. “That is why many Nigerians do not take this recent statement as a mere expression of concern.” Onjeh acknowledged that insecurity and killings in Nigeria are real and require urgent attention, but rejected the claim […]

Éducation au Togo : des faiblesses révélées, des réformes en vue

Une évaluation nationale du système éducatif togolais vient de livrer ses premiers résultats, mettant en lumière plusieurs défis à relever pour améliorer la qualité de l’enseignement. L’étude s’est concentrée sur quatre domaines clés : l’encadrement des enseignants, l’intégration de la recherche en éducation, le renforcement des compétences didactiques en sciences et en littérature, ainsi que l’évaluation des acquis pédagogiques des élèves. Les résultats montrent un décalage entre les programmes scolaires et les besoins du marché de l’emploi, ainsi qu’une maîtrise insuffisante de l’Approche Par Compétence (APC), pourtant essentielle dans les réformes pédagogiques récentes. Face à ces constats, les acteurs du secteur plaident pour des réformes ciblées visant à corriger ces lacunes et à renforcer la contribution de l’éducation au développement national. Avec le soutien des partenaires techniques et financiers, le gouvernement entend poursuivre ses efforts pour former des ressources humaines […]

US Genocide Debate Tied to FG’s Failure on Insecurity – Hashim

Former presidential candidate and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Dr. Gbenga Hashim, has criticised the federal government for what he described as its “shamefully political and dangerously unserious” handling of Nigeria’s worsening insecurity. In a statement released over the weekend, Hashim accused the government of prioritising propaganda and political maneuvering over genuine efforts to protect citizens from terrorists and bandits. “This government treats the blood of innocent Nigerians like a campaign statistic,” he said. “Instead of confronting terrorists and bandits, they issue empty statements and blame imaginary enemies. Governance is not propaganda.” Hashim alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) was more focused on gaining political advantage ahead of the 2027 elections than securing the country. “Rather than uniting the nation, the APC is pitching the South against the North,” he added. He linked the recent move by the […]
