Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has dismissed claims that he is planning to be Atiku Abubakar’s running mate in the 2027 presidential election.

Obi, Kwankwaso set to dump ADC for NDC

Former presidential candidates Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso are set to leave the African Democratic Congress and join the Nigeria Democratic Congress as opposition realignment gathers pace ahead of the 2027 elections.

Yul Edochie faults attacks on Igbo supporters of Tinubu

Actor Yul Edochie has condemned the way some people single out Igbo supporters of President Bola Tinubu for criticism ahead of the 2027 general election.​ In a post on X, he said he is worried that fellow Igbos who back Tinubu are often harshly attacked online, while supporters of the president from other regions do not face the same level of backlash.

Instead, he called for […]

Makinde, Wike camps begin talks to save PDP before 2027

The Peoples Democratic Party says it has pulled back from the brink of a major internal crisis as camps loyal to Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike begin reconciliation talks. Party leaders hope the dialogue will stabilise the PDP ahead of the 2027 general elections. For months, tensions between the two camps spilled into court cases, public exchanges and behind the scenes power struggles, raising doubts about the party’s unity and readiness for future polls. Under growing pressure, both sides are now choosing engagement over confrontation. Speaking in Abuja, factional PDP National Chairman Kabiru Tanimu Turaki said the party’s National Working Committee, aligned with the Makinde camp, made the first moves to ease tensions after the intervention of the Board of Trustees led by Senator Adolphus Wabara. He said the BoT set up a […]

Lamido says Wike backed caretaker holds key to PDP reconciliation

Former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido says genuine reconciliation in the Peoples Democratic Party depends on leaders accepting the Nyesom Wike backed National Caretaker Committee.He made the appeal during a Ramadan Iftar with PDP executives and members in his hometown, Bamaina.
