NORTHERN GROUPS UNCOVER PLOT TO STOP TINUBU IN 2027

Northern groups under the aegis of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) and the Northern Awareness Network (NAN) over the weekend expressed concerns over plots by self-seeking politicians to weaken President Bola Tinubu’s support base and his re-election bid in 2027 through interference in his cabinet.

AYCF President, Yerima Shettima and NAN Chairman, Salifu Suleiman, commended President Tinubu’s administration for its achievements so far, attributing them to his dedicated team of ministers and officials.

According to the groups, while some ministers and officials have achieved remarkable success in their respective roles, it was important for President Tinubu to remain vigilant and cautious against the machinations of self-seeking politicians.

They specifically mentioned Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajamiala, who they said has been instrumental in coordinating the President’s agenda and ensuring smooth communication and collaboration within the administration.

“His strategic leadership and organisational skills have streamlined decision-making processes and enhanced efficiency in governance.

“The Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike has been instrumental in the development and improvement of infrastructure in the Nigerian seat of power.

“His innovative projects and policies have transformed the FCT into a modern and dynamic city, attracting investments and creating opportunities for its residents.

“The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji Ojo has been leading efforts to improve security and law enforcement in the country.

“His initiatives have led to a significant decrease in crime rates and enhanced the safety and well-being of Nigerian citizens.

“The Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo has been driving reforms and modernization efforts in the aviation sector.

“His initiatives have enhanced safety standards, improved infrastructure, and promoted efficiency in air travel. Keyamo’s vision for a world-class aviation industry in Nigeria has positioned the country as a regional hub for air transportation.

“The Minister of Budget, Abubakar Bagudu has been instrumental in managing the nation’s finances and ensuring fiscal responsibility.

“His strategic planning and budgeting skills have helped steer the country towards economic stability and growth. Bagudu’s prudent financial management has earned him respect and admiration within the administration.

“The Minister of Defence State, Bello Matawalle has been pivotal in strengthening the nation’s security and military capabilities.

“His leadership and proactive measures have led to significant gains in the fight against terrorism and insurgency.

“The Minister of Art and Culture, Hannatu Musawa has been promoting Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage and artistic diversity on the global stage.“Her initiatives have brought recognition and acclaim to Nigerian artists and performers, showcasing the country’s creative talents to the world”, they added.

    LABOUR PARTY CRISIS DEEPENS AS NENADI USMAN’S CARETAKER COMMITTEE REJECTS APPEAL COURT VERDICT

    LABOUR PARTY CRISIS DEEPENS AS NENADI USMAN’S CARETAKER COMMITTEE REJECT APPEAL COURT VERDICT The Labour Party’s internal leadership crisis escalated on Saturday as the 29-member caretaker committee, led by Senator Nenadi Usman, demanded that Julius Abure cease presenting himself as the party’s national chairman.The committee, established by Abia State Governor Alex Otti and 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, insists it remains the party’s legitimate leadership body. In a statement issued in Abuja, Senator Usman declared that party stakeholders empowered the committee during an emergency convention. She further criticized Abure’s claims to the chairmanship despite recent court rulings. The tussle comes on the heels of a Court of Appeal judgement delivered on Friday in Abuja, which affirmed Abure as the party’s national chairman. The appellate court upheld the Labour Party’s March 2024 national convention in Nnewi, Anambra State, declaring it valid. Justice Hamma Barka, who presided over the three-member panel, ruled that the party’s leadership issues were not justiciable, deeming any actions outside the court’s jurisdiction null and void. The decision invalidated an earlier Federal High Court ruling delivered on October 8, 2024, by Justice Emeka Nwite. Caretaker Committee Rejects RulingDespite the appellate court’s verdict, the caretaker committee, in a statement co-signed by Senator Usman and its National Secretary, Darlington Nwokocha, criticized the judgement. They alleged that the Federal High Court made significant errors, lacked jurisdiction, and violated their right to a fair hearing. The statement read, “As the duly recognised National Caretaker Committee Chairman and Secretary of the Labour Party, we, on behalf of ourselves and other members, deem it necessary to issue this press release to clarify and set the record straight. “The Court of Appeal affirmed that Suit No: FHC/ABJ/CS/1271/2024, filed before the Federal High Court by Julius Abure, concerned a leadership dispute over which the Federal High Court has no jurisdiction. “The Federal High Court erred and acted without jurisdiction by entertaining the leadership dispute brought before it by Julius Abure. It also violated our right to a fair hearing by failing to consider our counter-affidavit opposing the suit before it. “Finally, we wish to remind the public that, on 4th September 2024, the Labour Party constituted a National Caretaker Committee, appointing us as the national chairman and secretary. Both have been diligently and effectively carrying out their duties to the admiration of stakeholders and the entire membership of the party.”

    POLITICAL UNDERCURRENTS IN BENUE SOUTH AHEAD OF 2027

    POLITICAL UNDERCURRENTS IN BENUE SOUTH AHEAD OF 2027 It may be well over two years to the next cycle of general elections in Nigeria. For the people of Apa/Agatu federal constituency in Benue South, however, the measure of their participation and integration into the governance scheme will be defined in the run-up to the general polls that year. Nine local government areas make up the predominantly Idoma country of Benue State also labelled Zone C in the senatorial tripod of the geo-polity. The zone is also home to the Igede ethnic stock and the Etulo. Local government areas in “Benue Zone C” include: Apa, Agatu, Oju, Obi, Ado, Ogbadibo, Okpokwu, Otukpo and Ohimini. The other zones, Benue North East and Benue North West, are wholly dominated by the Tiv nationality, striding across 14 local government areas. They are christened Zone A and Zone B in the local political scheme of the state. Federal constituencies in Benue South are: Apa/Agatu, Oju/Obi; Ado/Ogbadibo/Opokwu and Otukpo/Ohimini. The subjugation of groups and ethnicities considered demographically smaller, by the larger groups which has dominated Nigeria’s politics over time, has not been any different for the Idoma of Benue State. Until the circumstantial emergence of a Yahaya Bello from the Ebira ethnicity in Kogi State in 2015, the Igala had the relay baton of governorship of Kogi State, in rounds and succession. The Ebiras and the Okun-Yoruba zones in the state could only aspire to be serial deputies or Secretaries to the State Government. This political template was virtually cast in stone. The Ilorin people of Kwara State have similarly wholly warehoused the gubernatorial office, sparingly conceding the position to other sociocultural groups in the state. The only exception was the concession of the seat to a candidate from Kwara South, in the person of Abdulfatah Ahmed, by his predecessor, Bukola Saraki in 2011. Even at that, there were murmurs and dissent from those who believed Ahmed came from a community too close to the Ilorin emirate to be of genuine Igbomina stock, which prides itself as the pure Yoruba species in Kwara State. Twenty-six years into the Fourth Republic, the maximum proximity of the Idoma to Government House, Makurdi, has been by the customary allocation of the Deputy Governor’s slot to its people. Ogirri Ajene from Oju/Obi, the charismatic blue-blood of blessed memory, was deputy to George Akume, incumbent Secretary to the Government of the Federation, (SGF), from 1999 to 2007. Akume it was reported, genuinely desired to be succeeded by Ajene who exhibited competence and loyalty and could build on their legacies. The Tiv nation we understand, shot down the proposal. Gabriel Suswam succeeded Akume and had the urbane multipreneur, Stephen Lawani from Ogbadibo as deputy. Samuel Ortom, a Minister in the Goodluck Jonathan presidency who took over from Suswam opted for Benson Abounu, an engineer from Otukpo as running mate, while Hyacinth Alia, the Catholic priest who succeeded Ortom, also chose as deputy, Samuel Ode, who was also a Minister in the Jonathan government, from Otukpo. Arising from this precedence, Apa/Agatu has not for once, been considered for a place in Government House, Makurdi. In similar fashion, the position of Senator representing Benue South, has repeatedly precluded Apa/Agatu federal constituency. David Alechenu Bonaventure Mark a former army General from Otukpo, took the first shot at the office in 1999. He was to remain in the position for five consecutive times, a distinctive record by Nigerian standards. Mark would subsequently become President of the Senate and the third most senior political office holder in the nation’s governance scheme for a string of two terms between 2007 and 2015. He was replaced by Patrick Abba Moro, who hails from Okpokwu and was a former teacher, in 2019. Abba…
