Senator Ifeanyi Okowa and Rt. Hon. Victor Ochei are not opposites. They are two sides of the same worn coin, and the people of Delta North deserve to see through this. ‎ ‎The argument here is not merely political preference — it is rooted in history, electoral evidence, and political logic. ‎ ‎Ochei Is Not the Lion to Slay Okowa’s Hegemony — He Is Part of It ‎ ‎Victor Ochei served as Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly for years. He was a product and beneficiary of the same Delta PDP machine that produced Okowa. His entry into the NDC s...

YARI’S SUSPECTED AGENDA TO UNDERMINE APC SUCCESS IN ZAMFARA The recent launch of the Atiku Abubakar political platform in Zamfara State by Senator Abdulaziz Yari is a brazen act of anti-party activity designed to sabotage the re-election bid of Governor Dauda Lawal and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. Credible reports confirm that Yari’s inner caucus and loyalists were fully kitted in Atiku-branded materials during the symbolic unveiling, leaving no doubt about his alignment with the opposition. This comes against a troubling backdrop: 1. *Financial Questions*: It is public knowledge that Senator Yari’s bank accounts were recently frozen by relevant authorities over unresolved financial issues.This raises serious questions he is yet to answer. 2. *Disregard for Party Unity*: Yari deliberately boycotted all stakeholders’ meetings of Zamfara political leaders before and after the APC primaries, showing contempt for collective decision-making. 3. *Rejection of State Leadersh...

Zamfara 2027: APC Must Remain Vigilant Against Internal Sabotage. A Political Commentary By Mustapha Mohammed Gusau.  As Nigeria gradually approaches the 2027 general elections, members and supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) must remain focused on anti- party activities by some aggrieved party members and loyalists.  President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration continues to implement policies aimed at economic reform, security enhancement, and national development. While opinions may differ on the pace and impact of these reforms, there is no doubt that the success of the APC in 2027 will depend largely on its ability to checkmate party leaders and loyalists who are planning to sabotage the success of the APC in both governorship and presidential elections.  Steps must be put in place to cross check and monitor such ambitions party leaders who are bent on ensuring that everything must be done in accordance to their interests because they have mo...
