Rivers Traditional Rulers Council sets up committee to end Fubara Wike rift

The Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers has set up a nine member committee to mediate the prolonged political rift between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike. The council says the crisis has created tension in the state and risks distracting government from delivering development projects.​ The committee is made up of first class traditional rulers drawn from the three senatorial districts of the state. Its mandate is to engage both Fubara and Wike, listen to their grievances and recommend peaceful solutions that will restore political stability.​ Chairman of the council, King Dandeson Jaja, said traditional rulers cannot fold their arms while the state’s peace and unity are threatened. He stressed that the institution remains non partisan but has a moral duty to intervene when political disagreements endanger the welfare of citizens.​ The […]

Cameroon Opposition Leader Issa Tchiroma Declares Victory Before Official Results

In a nearly five-minute video statement posted on social media early Tuesday, Tchiroma proclaimed himself the winner and urged President Paul Biya, the 92-year-old incumbent, to concede defeat. “The people have chosen, and this choice must be respected,” he said in the video, calling on Cameroonians to defend what he described as a “historic transition.” However, the government quickly cautioned that only the Constitutional Council has the legal authority to declare results. The body has up to two weeks to release the official outcome. Tchiroma, once a government spokesman and close ally of Biya for two decades, resigned in June to mount a challenge. His campaign drew massive crowds and endorsements from a coalition of opposition groups — making him the strongest challenger Biya has faced in years. Despite this, analysts widely expected Biya — Africa’s longest-serving leader with 43 […]

Madagascar President Dissolves Parliament Amid Political Crisis

Madagascar’s embattled President Andry Rajoelina has issued a decree dissolving the National Assembly, in a last-ditch attempt to stave off a political collapse as pressure mounts for his resignation. The president, who has reportedly fled the country, announced the decree on social media on Tuesday — just hours before lawmakers were expected to hold an impeachment vote against him. The political climate remains tense, with sections of the military and police now backing mass protests demanding that Rajoelina step down. According to a statement released by the presidency on Facebook, the decree “shall enter into force immediately upon its publication by radio and/or television broadcast.” Rajoelina defended his action in a separate online post, calling it a move to “restore order within our nation and strengthen democracy.” However, opposition leader Siteny Randrianasoloniaiko, who was leading the impeachment effort, dismissed the […]

Macron Reappoints Lecornu as French PM, Deepening Crisis

French President Emmanuel Macron has reappointed Sebastien Lecornu as Prime Minister just four days after his resignation, a move that prolongs the country's political crisis. The decision, announced by the Élysée Palace on Friday, dashes hopes for a new face to break the deadlock over an austerity budget. Lecornu, a 39-year-old Macron loyalist, accepted the role "out of duty" and pledged to secure a budget by year's end. The reappointment was met with immediate criticism. The far-right National Rally called it a "bad joke," while the hard left saw it as an insult to the French people. Lecornu's two immediate predecessors were both ousted by parliament over the same budget dispute, and his new government faces the same challenge in a deeply divided assembly.

France’s Macron Races to Name New PM Amid Crisis

French President Emmanuel Macron is under pressure to name a new Prime Minister within 48 hours to resolve a deepening political crisis. This follows the resignation of his previous PM, Sebastien Lecornu, who served for less than a month. The new appointee will be the eighth prime minister of Macron's presidency. The core challenge remains passing an austerity budget through a deeply divided parliament where Macron's centrist party lacks a majority. Lecornu's two immediate predecessors were also ousted over the same budget dispute. The far-right National Rally, led by Marine Le Pen, has vowed to "vote against everything" proposed by any new government, complicating the path forward. Macron is expected to announce the new prime minister, and possibly a cabinet, by Friday evening as he seeks to stabilize his government.

 France’s Prime Minister Resigns After Just One Month

France has been plunged into a fresh political crisis after Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu resigned on Monday, just one month after his appointment. This marks the shortest tenure for a French prime minister in modern history. The resignation was triggered by a fierce backlash against his newly announced cabinet, particularly from the right-wing Republicans party, whose support was crucial in the divided parliament. The party's vice-president stated they would not offer the government a "final lap," leading to the collapse of Lecornu's administration. Lecornu had faced the difficult task of pushing an austerity budget through a hostile parliament, a challenge that had ousted his two immediate predecessors. His resignation deepens the political deadlock that has gripped France since the 2024 legislative elections resulted in a hung parliament. President Emmanuel Macron, who accepted the resignation, has not yet announced his next […]

Wike Criticizes Emergency Rule in Rivers State, Says He Wanted Fubara’s Outright Removal

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has expressed dissatisfaction with President Bola Tinubu’s decision to impose a state of emergency in Rivers State. Speaking during a media parley in Abuja on Friday, Wike revealed that he had advocated for the outright removal of Governor Siminalayi Fubara instead of the current intervention. Last month, President Tinubu declared a state of emergency in Rivers State, citing persistent political instability and escalating security threats, including pipeline explosions. The president suspended Governor Fubara, Deputy Governor Ngozi Odu, and all members of the House of Assembly for six months. In their place, Vice Admiral Ibas was appointed as sole administrator to oversee the state’s affairs pending resolution of the crisis—a move that has sparked nationwide debate. Wike, who served as the immediate past governor of Rivers State, stated that while he was […]
