EAT THE PARTY, I SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXPELLED – EL-RUFAI MOCKS APC LEADERSHIP

Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai has said the All Progressives Congress, APC, should have expelled him from the party.

El-Rufai said he quit the APC and asked them to “eat the party if it is food.”

Recently, El-Rufai defected from the APC to the Social Democratic Party, SDP.

The former governor blamed the misalignment between his personal values and the current direction of the APC for his defection to the SDP.

El-Rufai expressed disappointment with the APC leadership, stressing that the ruling party strayed from the progressive ideals of its founding members.

In an interview with BBC Hausa Service, El-Rufai said his expulsion from the APC would have saved him from the inconvenience of explaining himself.

According to El-Rufai: “Well, it would have been better for me if they expelled me. I have stated many times that APC would be my last political party.

“Had they expelled me, they would have saved me the troubles of explaining why I left the APC. As I said, I have not left the APC, but the APC rather left me.

“What next? I quit their party, and challenged them to eat the party if it is food.”

    NIGERIAN STUDENTS IN U.S. FACE DANGER OF DEPORTATION

    NIGERIAN STUDENT’S IN U.S. FACE DANGER OF DEPORTATION Nigerian nationals schooling in the United States may be deported if the President Donald Trump administration determines their stay is not in the best interest of the country. In 2024, the US saw a record rise in foreign students’ enrolment after other choice destinations like enforced biting visa restrictions to curb immigration. According to a US government report, Nigerians were among the highest enrollees. In the 2023/2024 academic year, Nigeria ranked seventh globally and first in Africa for international students in the US, with 20,029 Nigerian students enrolled, a 13.5% increase from the previous year. Speaking during an interview with Fox News recently, US Vice-President JD Vance said he expects deportation numbers to rise as the Trump-led administration ramps up efforts to remove illegal migrants from the country. Asked if it would affect foreign students who gained entry into the country legally, he replied in the affirmative. Vance said: “This is not fundamentally about free speech, and to me, yes, it’s about national security, but it’s also more importantly about who we as an American public decide gets to join our national community. “And if the secretary of state and the president decide this person shouldn’t be in America, and they have no legal right to stay here, it’s as simple as that. “I think we’ll certainly see some people who get deported on student visas if we determine that it’s not in the best interest of the United States to have them in our country. “I don’t know how high that number is going to be, but you’re going to see more people. “A lot of these foreign students, most of them, pay full freight. So sometimes what you have at elite universities like Columbia or Harvard, you have a well-qualified middle class American kid from the heartland who doesn’t get a spot in these universities because some Chinese oligarch, who is paying $100,000 a year, takes up that spot. “So it’s not just bad for national security, it’s bad for the American dream for a lot of kids who want to go to a nice university and can’t because their spot was taken by a foreign student. It’s certainly something we are looking at.”

    BUDGET RE-PRESENTATION: RIVERS ASSEMBLY ADJOURNS SITTING INDEFINITELY

    BUDGET RE-PRESENTION: RIVERS ASSEMBLY ADJOURNS SITTING INDEFINITELY The Rivers State House of Assembly, led by Speaker Martin Amaewhule, an ally of former Governor Nyesom Wike on Friday adjourned its legislative activities indefinitely, a move that raises political tension in the state. The decision to adjourn sine die (without a scheduled resumption date) comes just day(s) after Governor Siminalayi Fubara formally notified the Assembly of his intention to present the 2025 budget on Wednesday. The indefinite adjournment casts uncertainty over the budget presentation, fueling speculation about deepening political rifts within the state’s leadership. ABN TV reports that the latest development is part of the ongoing power struggle between Governor Fubara and his predecessor, Wike, who currently serves as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The state’s legislature has been a battleground for their loyalists, with the Assembly leadership firmly aligned with Wike. Political analysts suggest that the adjournment may be a strategic move to frustrate Fubara’s administration by delaying legislative approval of the budget. Others believe it signals a broader attempt to assert control over the state’s political landscape. Observers are now watching closely to see how Governor Fubara will respond, particularly whether he will explore alternative legal or political options to ensure the budget’s passage. Meanwhile, Rivers residents and stakeholders remain on edge, as the power tussle continues to shape governance in the oil-rich state.
