ADC presidential aspirant, North East. APC vice president, North East. The North East will likely choose a presidential candidate from their zone ahead of a vice president. The North West is the battleground. The president can lock down NW by picking a Vice President from there
Good idea. Gives the CBN access to track payments. It may also be an avenue to trace citizens' credit history, thereby making access to credit easy and affordable.
The Federal Government may begin paying salaries, pensions and social welfare benefits through the eNaira under a new Central Bank of Nigeria roadmap aimed at transforming the country’s digital currency into a major payment channel.

Our national assembly should not attempt to return to indirect primaries; they can be easily manipulated. Please retain the direct primaries and consensus provisions in the new Electoral Act.
The National Leader of the NDC, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson has criticized the Electoral Act passed by the APC majority, which did not give political parties the option to opt for a delegates’ election (indirect primary). This method according to him, is often easier for political parties to conduct and to manage any fallout from it.
The remodelling of the lagos airport will cause a surge in passangers traffic along that corridor. Expanding the roads network is good. However, the rail project will reduce pressure on the road. It is also a lucrative investment that is self financing due to passengers' demand.
Minister @fkeyamo The proposed railway line from Ikeja to Lagos Airport ALSO IN IKEJA appears to be nothing more than a waste of scarce public resources. It is difficult to justify this project on economic or transportation grounds; it looks more like a vanity project than a priority investment.
One of the commendable decisions of your tenure as Aviation Minister and the Tinubu administration is the ongoing upgrade of MMIA. However, this particular rail project raises serious questions about value for money.
What exactly is the distance between Ikeja and MMIA? Traffic along that corridor is not so severe that it warrants a dedicated rail line.
A more practical and cost effective solution would be to dualise and improve the existing road network linking MMIA through the Beckley/Beacham Police Station axis to the FAAN headquarters. Such an upgrade would ease traffic, improve accessibility, and deliver greater benefits at a fraction of the cost.
At a time when resources are limited and infrastructure needs are immense, government spending should be guided by necessity, efficiency, and measurable public benefit, not prestige projects.
@PeterObi said he will increase power generation to 10,000 MW. This is simple: you have installed capacity of above 12,000 megawatts; settle over 4 trillion in debts to gas companies; boost liquidity in the sector; ensure idle power plants are fired. The present govt is doing dat
Direct primaries are sending a clear lesson to every politician: Go to your people—the real people. Social media followers will earn you Elon Musk money, but won't give you votes.
Nigerians are not the only victims of xenophobic attacks. I am sure there are ongoing high-level government-to-government engagements aimed at finding a lasting solution. This photo-op and performative visit by the opposition candidate is not right. Let’s not politicise the issue

People continue to find false consolations that assuage them for a brief moment, then repeat the cycle of despondency and the search for temporary emotional and mental refuge, over and again. Breaking the shackles of oppression once and for all is hard, but it's the only way.
Think about it. A governor publicly said he was tired of his office. Yet he is planning to run for a second term. He doesn't deserve to return. Simple.
I think the challenge of the APC is not about the opposition coming together, but gathering under the banner of the ADC. On the ballot paper, the ADC is close to the APC. I remembered in 2015, an unknown presidential candidate of the ADC came third, because of the similarity.
I support Obasanjo's view on the need to review our practise of liberal democracy. There should be leadership structure across political parties that gatekeeps selection process for aspirants. Our politics has become transactional, involving all tom, dick and Harley with money.
Breaking!!
Mr. Paschal Okechukwu (Chief Priest) has thrown has declared interest for Orsu/Orlu & Oru East Federal Constituency seat at the Federal House of Representatives in the 2027 polls.
He made this known during an audience with the APC state leaders and working committee at the secretariat.
What's your opinion?
See how easily he quoted Macbeth, that's what's missing in today's Nollywood. We replaced thespians with IG celebrities/Influencers, content creators, and BBN alumnus, and wonder why the quality of our movies can barely compete with movies made over 3 decades ago.
This is a dangerous path to tread. Replacing an experienced and performing lawmaker with an inexperienced newbie, because you want to honour his father. In fact, a mature, more experienced, and intelligent female child would have been better.
Dear distinguished Honourable Aminu Jamo Daura,
I am writing to you today with the highest level of respect and admiration for the significant work you have done—and continue to do—for the people of the Daura, Sandamu, and Mai’adua Federal Constituency.
Your tenure has been marked by tangible progress.
We are all witnesses to the numerous projects you have facilitated across our communities, from infrastructure to social interventions. Your reputation as a "nice person" is not just a sentiment, but a reflection of the dedicated leadership you have provided. For these achievements, the constituency remains deeply grateful.
As we approach the 2027 political cycle, a unique moment of consensus is beginning to form within the All Progressives Congress (APC). There is a growing movement among stakeholders and constituents to support Yusuf Buhari as our next representative. This support is rooted in a desire to honor the profound legacy of his father in Daura and to ensure a seamless transition of leadership that maintains our region’s influence and unity.
Honorable, your leadership and influence are pivotal. While the path to 2027 will involve many voices, your voice carries a special weight. By choosing to join the stakeholders in supporting Yusuf Buhari, you would be demonstrating an extraordinary level of statesmanship. Such a gesture—supporting a unified, unopposed candidacy—would not only secure the legacy of the party but would also earn you immense and lasting respect from the people of Daura and beyond.
We believe that your alignment with this movement would be seen as an act of great sacrifice and wisdom, further elevating your standing as a leader who prioritizes the collective harmony and long-term interests of our constituency.
Thank you for your tireless service and for your kind consideration of this humble appeal. We look forward to your continued guidance as we strive for a prosperous future for our people.
My loyalty to you is permanent and pensionable.
Mukhtar Daura
A system doesn’t improve overnight. At the early stages, hitches and glitches are inevitable. Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board @JAMBHQ has reached an inflection point; it should sustain this momentum for a while before scaling up further. Kudos to the team.
