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.

“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.

    ABACHA SPIRIT HAS TAKEN OVER PRESIDENTIAL VILLA – LAWYER

    ABACHA’S SPIRIT HAS TAKEN OVER PRESIDENTIAL VILLA – LAWYER In an apparent rebuke of Monday’s invasion of SERAP’s office, Abuja, by Nigeria’s secret police, SSS, a human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, has said that the spirit of the late military dictator, Sani Abacha, has taken over the nation’s presidential villa. The officers were “unlawfully occupying SERAP’s office in Abuja, asking to see our directors,” SERAP wrote on X. “The spirit of Sani Abacha has taken over the presidential villa,” Mr Effiong wrote on X on Monday in his reaction to the SSS’ action. “The invasion of SERAP’s Abuja office by the SSS is unacceptable. The President Tinubu’s regime must end the attack on dissent,” he said in another post on the microblogging platform. SERAP is a prominent civil society group in Nigeria known for its campaigns for good governance and respect for human rights. The invasion of SERAP’s office, almost simultaneously with the arrest of the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero, by SSS operatives on Monday morning in Abuja at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport Abuja while trying to board a flight to the UK for a Trade Union Congress gathering. Ajaero has been summoned twice by the police in recent weeks over allegations surrounding a Briton, Drew Povey, who owns a bookshop at the NLC headquarters in Abuja. The Nigerian government claims that the Briton was spearheading a plot to overthrow President Bola Tinubu. He has denied the allegation and urged the government not to criminalise peaceful protests in Nigeria. The lawyer, Mr Effiong’s comment about Abacha’s spirit taking over the presidential villa is an allusion to President Tinubu as a dictator. The late Abacha, an army general, overthrew Nigeria’s interim national government in 1993 and ran the most repressive regime in the nation’s history, suppressing the media and jailing his critics. During the infamous era, Moshood Abiola, the winner of the annulled 12 June 1993 presidential election, was jailed for treason. He later died in custody. Former military ruler Olusegun Obasanjo was also jailed for treason. The Abacha regime also jailed a former army general, Shehu Yar’Adua, who later died in custody. Amnesty International Nigeria on Monday “strongly condemned” Mr Ajaero’s arrest. “The labour union leader must be immediately and unconditionally released,” the rights group said.
