2027 Elections Already Secured for APC – Party Chairman Yilwatda Declares

          Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda

Newly sworn-in National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, has declared the 2027 general elections a foregone conclusion in favour of the ruling party.

“We will expand beyond bounds. By God’s grace, 2027 is a done deal for the APC,” Yilwatda said during his inaugural meeting with members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) at the Muhammadu Buhari House, APC’s national secretariat, shortly after taking his oath of office at the Presidential Villa.

Assuming office as the party’s 7th national chairman, Yilwatda arrived at the secretariat around 4:10 p.m., accompanied by other NWC members, to a warm reception from party staff and supporters.

Addressing NWC members and state chairmen, he likened the party to a vehicle that requires maintenance and steering.

“All of us here, especially the NWC members, are the mechanics — the party is the vehicle. We will fix it, drive it, and ensure it gets to the destination we all desire,” he said.

“With our collective efforts, this party will not only succeed but will become the pride and joy of the entire nation. That’s the vision I hope to achieve with all of you.”

He expressed confidence that APC would win the 2027 elections convincingly, citing growing public support for the party.

“I appreciate Nigerians for supporting and standing by the APC. Our doors remain open to welcome new members—governors, senators, lawmakers, local government chairmen, and more.”

The former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation also pledged to strengthen the party’s structure and unity, assuring members of an influx of opposition figures into the APC under his leadership.

Meanwhile, in line with the party's return to its pre-August 2023 power-sharing arrangement, Deputy National Secretary Festus Faunter resigned his position, as the party’s constitution prohibits two NWC members from the same state. With Yilwatda also hailing from Plateau State, Faunter stepped down to maintain constitutional balance.

A minor reshuffle followed. Former National Legal Adviser, Prof. Abdulkarim Abubakar Kana, from the North Central zone, was elected to replace Faunter as Deputy National Secretary, while Muritala Aliyu Kankai from Katsina State became the new National Legal Adviser. Both officials were sworn in during the NWC meeting.

Labour Party Lawmakers as an Appendage to APC Majority Lawmakers: A Huge Question Mark on Peter Obi’s Leadership

Image
  The Labour Party (LP) made an unprecedented impact in the 2023 general elections, largely due to the influence of Mr Peter Obi and the Obidient movement. Before then, it was almost unthinkable for a third-force party to achieve significant electoral success in Nigeria. However, against all odds, the LP secured eight senatorial seats and 34 seats in the House of Representatives as of March 7, 2023. Among those elected were individuals from humble backgrounds, including a former commercial motorcyclist and a motor park loading agent, further reinforcing the movement’s appeal to ordinary Nigerians. Labour Party’s Crisis and the Loss of Legislative Influence To the disappointment of many supporters, the Labour Party is currently experiencing severe internal disarray. At least one senator and five members of the House of Representatives have defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Even more concerning is that the remaining LP lawmakers in the National Assembly appear ...

The event, which was packed with fans, celebrities, and well-wishers, was more than just a celebration of another year; it was a heartfelt tribute to his roots, his supporters, and a dear friend he lost. A Moment of Silence for Ifeanyi Ubah Before the music, before the cheers, before the energy hit the roof, Chief Priest paused the night with an emotional tribute. The entire venue fell silent as he led a minute of silence for his late friend, Ifeanyi Ubah . The bond they shared was well known, and this moment was a reflection of how much he still carried the weight of the loss. Owerri: The City of His Beginnings As the night moved forward,...

Forbidden Flames.... Torchlight for Twilight.

By Ogbu A.M. The traffic buzzed outside their Lekki apartment as Emeka sat quietly in the living room, his eyes fixed on his phone, though his mind was miles away. Lagos had a way of wearing people out—but nothing had worn him down like what he’d just learned. His best friend, Charles, had dropped the bomb casually while they shared beers at a bar in Victoria Island. "Guy, I no dey try cause wahala, but I think say you suppose know wetin your wife dey do. Ngozi talk say Chioma dey knack her oga for office. That Ndubisi guy." It had hit Emeka like a slap. For days, he pretended he hadn’t heard it. But now, as he watched Chioma humming in the kitchen, moving gracefully like nothing was wrong, he knew Charles wasn’t lying. Her phone was always face-down. Late meetings. A new perfume. The soft smile she had when she texted someone she wouldn’t name. And then there was Ngozi—Chioma’s younger sister. She had moved in temporarily while job-hunting, according to Chioma. Young, v...
