Immigration, Natasha trade words over passport drama

The Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, on Tuesday accused immigration officials at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, of seizing her international passport and briefly preventing her from travelling abroad.

I’m Senator Natasha. Having completed my second year in office, I decided to take a week off.

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, […]

 Nollywood’s ‘The Exco’ Is a Protest Against Failed Leadership

Nollywood producer Seun Oloketuyi has stated that his upcoming political movie, 'The Exco,' is his personal form of protest against leadership failure in Nigeria. Speaking on a national television program, Oloketuyi explained that while some Nigerians protest on the streets or social media, he uses filmmaking to tell the truth about the country's political and social realities. “I tell people that this is how I intend to protest how our country is in terms of leadership,” he said. “This is the power that I have—to tell our story.” Oloketuyi clarified that the film reflects the complex relationship between citizens, politicians, and governance. He argued that Nigeria's problems are not solely caused by bad leaders but also by the citizens who enable them. “The problem is not only with the leadership; it’s with all of us,” he stated. “People who collect […]

PDP Govs Slam ADC Over Zamfara Meeting Criticism

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum has defended its recent meeting in Zamfara State, accusing the African Democratic Congress (ADC) of politicising insecurity instead of showing empathy to victims of bandit attacks. The ADC had criticised the PDP for holding a political meeting in Zamfara, only days after dozens of residents were killed by bandits. In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, the party accused the PDP governors of being insensitive and urged President Bola Tinubu to declare a state of emergency in Zamfara. ADC said: “Instead of rallying around their colleague to help stop the killings, PDP governors staged a political show in a state still mourning its dead. Their pictures in ceremonial attire, smiling for the camera, were insensitive.” Responding, the Director-General of the PDP Governors’ Forum, Emmanuel Agbo, described ADC’s comments as “irresponsible,” […]

Nigeria’s Political Recycling Epidemic: When Failed Leaders Become Untouchable Senators

The Senate as a Safe House for Failed Leaders Nigeria has perfected a dangerous political tradition: recycling failed executives into legislative roles, where they trade oversight for immunity. 🔴 Former governors dominate the Senate—not to serve, but to shield themselves from probes.🔴 Critical anti-corruption bills (whistleblower protection, unexplained wealth laws) stall indefinitely.🔴 Senator Natasha’s bombshell: Lawmakers extort MDAs for cash/jobs during budget approvals. "Committee seats come with quotas—bring money or lose influence," she revealed. Yet, no investigations followed. Nigeria vs. America: Two Standards of Accountability Nigeria’s ResponseAmerica’s Response• Scandal exposed → Silence• Scandal exposed → Resignation/Indictment• EFCC/ICPC inactive• FBI/DOJ immediately investigate• Laws protect the powerful• Laws punish misconduct (e.g., Santos expelled, Menendez indicted) The difference? One system enforces rules; the other rewards evasion.

Atiku, Sanusi, Onaiyekan Unite: “End Poverty Now to Save Nigeria’s Democracy”

Nigeria's most influential voices sounded a united alarm in Abuja. At a lecture honoring Rotimi Amaechi's 60th birthday, Atiku Abubakar, Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Cardinal Onaiyekan, and others demanded urgent action against poverty to rescue democracy. Their message was clear: "Poverty is being weaponized – and it’s destroying Nigeria." Why Poverty Threatens DemocracyCardinal Onaiyekan linked poverty to political failure: "Democracy thrives only when leaders uplift citizens, not themselves." Critically, he tied fair elections to poverty reduction: "Voters must freely choose leaders who serve them – not exploit them." Sanusi’s Shocking Reality CheckThe Emir of Kano revealed: "As CBN governor, I saw poverty statistics. But I only understood it when I visited villages." He described crumbling schools and undrinkable water, asking sharply:“Do we love the people? Or just love ruling them? We build city overpasses while rural mothers die reaching hospitals. This is a crisis.” Atiku’s Direct Challenge to LeadersThe former VP […]
