Why Goodluck Jonathan Stepped Back From Politics

Former President Goodluck Jonathan explained that his membership in the West African Elders Forum (WAEF) requires strict non-partisanship, which has kept him out of active politics. Speaking at his foundation’s 10th anniversary, Jonathan noted the forum’s mission is to prevent election crises across West Africa, intervening before problems escalate. Jonathan admitted he disappointed associates who expected a return to politics, but adherence to WAEF rules is a priority. He condemned the “rascality” in the current political climate and called for more responsible and prepared leadership. He reflected sadly on the kidnapping of 25 girls in Kebbi State, recalling similar incidents from his presidency, and offered prayers for their safe return. Jonathan said his foundation—focused on democracy and governance after advice from Tony Elumelu—committed to advancing democracy, peace, and institutional reforms across Africa, including mediation and building trust between citizens and […]

Turaki Appeals to Trump To Help Save Nigeria’s Democracy

Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, the newly elected National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, has called on former US President Donald Trump and other world leaders to help save Nigeria’s democracy.

United States: Wave of Firings Targets Black Leaders in Key Federal Institutions

A series of high-profile dismissals in early 2025 has sparked widespread concern over declining diversity and representation in top U.S. government roles. The new administration, shortly after its inauguration in January, initiated sweeping changes that saw several prominent Black leaders removed from critical federal agencies and institutions. Among the earliest was Gwen Wilcox, the first Black woman to chair the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), who was dismissed and replaced by Marvin E. Kaplan, a Republican appointee. The decision marked a sharp political and ideological shift in labor policy direction. In February, General C.Q. Brown Jr., the second Black Joint Chiefs of Staff in U.S. history, was also removed from office. He was replaced by retired Air Force Lieutenant General Dan Kaine, who lacked prior four-star general experience. To qualify for the role, Kaine received a presidential waiver and an […]

Obasanjo: Why I Rejected El-Rufai as My Successor

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has revealed that he once rejected a proposal for Nasir El-Rufai to succeed him as President in 2007. Obasanjo made this disclosure at the Ajibosin Platform Annual Symposium in Abeokuta. He stated that the suggestion was made by former Aviation Minister Osita Chidoka, who was a guest at the event. Interjecting during Chidoka's speech, Obasanjo recalled the proposal. "He didn't mention that when I was leaving government, he was pushing that his friend, El-Rufai, should be brought in as my successor," Obasanjo said. The former president explained that he declined the recommendation because he believed El-Rufai, who served as the FCT Minister at the time, was "not yet mature enough" to lead Nigeria. Obasanjo added that Chidoka later agreed with his assessment. "Many years later, after seeing his performance, he came back to me and said, […]
