By Bayo Onanuga Aminu Waziri Tambuwal was praised by PDP chairman as the hero of the party’s convention for swinging votes to Atiku Abubakar at the convention, making it possible for Abubakar to win. I do not think Ayu got it right.

His action prevented his longtime friend and supporter in the 2019 primary, Nyesom Wike, from winning. Although Wike was to blame fellow southern governors for his…

At the ideation and conception stages of the Sports University of Nigeria, Idumuje-Ugboko, the Proprietor, Prince (Dr) Ned Nwoko exuded implicit aplomb, that the fruition of the project will provide a watershed in the sporting fortunes of some developing countries in order to beget competitive parity in global sports. He particularly identified Nigeria as an epicenter for deploying the institution’s innovative approaches; embedded in the modus-operandi of the trail-blazing Sports University, as against the hitherto unproductive methods, from which Nigeria could boast only three good medals, from more than a dozen Olympics appearances. This remarkable educational institution’s uniqueness, revolves around…

The evidence have long betrayed this position, but again, the media and the hands behind it know this disunity narrative achieves its goal of telling a lie several times so it can be true…. perception is reality It is not in Igbo land or the East that there was anarchy that pulled down the FIRST REPUBLIC. WILD WILD WEST it was called, not WILD WILD EAST Akintola that joined…

Words are free, talk is cheap, laughter rekindles the soul, tears humble the heart…but of all the emotions, Silence is Golden. The Movement for Stronger Delta is in complete awe, over the power of silence Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, ‘Ekwueme gburugburu’ evoked and exuded so calmly with the impregnable aura of an invincible inner force; so imperturbably sure, so unerringly confident, so finitely complete, in the unwavering conviction, that the PDP Governorship primary, will end in glorious praise. If ever there was a man, and indeed a post-modern, homebred politician, so at ease with the mastery of his own astute, strategic,…
