Tuggar Debates Genocide Claims With Ex-Canadian Politician on TV

A heated exchange occurred on Piers Morgan’s show as Nigeria’s foreign affairs minister, Yusuf Tuggar, debated with former Canadian lawmaker Goldie Ghamari over claims of mass persecution of Christians in Nigeria. Tuggar rejected figures that claimed over 50,000 Christians have died since 2009, saying official data does not classify victims by religion and all lives are valued equally. He reported that in the past five years, 177 Christians had been killed and 102 churches attacked, countering higher numbers from international groups. Ghamari called Nigeria’s crisis a jihad and suggested links between the Nigerian government and the Islamic Republic of Iran. She criticized the Muslim identities of Nigeria’s president and vice president as problematic, but Tuggar dismissed her remarks, highlighting that Nigeria’s priority is national unity, not faith. Tuggar spoke of his own family’s loss to Boko Haram attacks and stressed […]

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. Turaki made this appeal amidst an ongoing leadership crisis within the PDP, which he claims threatens the survival of the country’s democratic institutions. The PDP has recently experienced a deep split following a controversial convention in Ibadan and the emergence of rival factions. Turaki emphasized that external support and international encouragement are crucial for stabilizing the party and ensuring future elections are credible. He asked for Trump and other global figures to advocate for unity and reconciliation in Nigeria’s major opposition group, warning that prolonged disunity may destabilize democratic processes across the nation. Internal tensions have escalated as party leaders and members clash over authority, legitimacy, and the direction of […]

Police Use Teargas to Disperse Factions at PDP Headquarters

There was confusion at the Peoples Democratic Party national headquarters in Abuja after police used teargas to disperse supporters of rival factions. The incident happened on Tuesday as two rival groups were set to hold separate meetings at the party’s Wadata Plaza. One group was loyal to Nyesom Wike, while the other supported the newly formed National Working Committee led by Kabiru Turaki. Tensions rose when Samuel Anyanwu, secretary of the Wike-aligned bloc, arrived with supporters for Board of Trustees and National Executive Committee meetings. Supporters from both sides exchanged heated words, and some engaged in scuffles. As the situation grew tense, police ordered everyone to leave the premises, including party officials. The standoff escalated when officers fired several teargas canisters, sending politicians, party members, staff, and journalists running for safety. People caught in the stampede choked and shielded their […]

Taraba State Governor Kefas to Join APC on Wednesday

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). The move comes after several rounds of consultations and endorsement by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and top APC leaders. In preparation for the event, Governor Kefas has already inspected the venue for the defection ceremony and has been holding strategic meetings with key APC stakeholders in Abuja, including youth representatives at T.Y.

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 […]

Jonathan Fully Eligible for 2027 Presidency – Cousin

Former President Goodluck Jonathan is legally and constitutionally qualified to contest the 2027 presidential election, his cousin Azibaola Robert has said. Azibaola, a lawyer and former pro-democracy activist, made the statement in response to recent comments by senior legal figures, including Minister of Aviation Festus Keyamo (SAN) and human rights lawyer Professor Chidi Odinkalu, who questioned Jonathan’s eligibility. Writing on his Facebook page, Azibaola stressed that there is no legal barrier to Jonathan’s candidacy. “GEJ is 100% constitutionally and legally qualified to contest if he chooses to. If he decides not to yield to the overwhelming calls to contest, it would not be because he is not qualified,” he wrote. He added that Jonathan, a former president and experienced leader, has access to a team of legal advisers and does not require public reminders about his rights under Nigerian law. […]

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 […]
