For effective performance in the new government that begins on May 28, elected governors in the country must immediately implement the constitutional provision of financial autonomy, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, said on Monday. Speaking at the opening ceremony of the national workshop for magistrates on judicial ethics and corrupt practices organised […]

As widely reported in the media, President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari is under intense pressure to retain the controversial Petroleum Resources Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke in her portfolio after he takes power next May 29. Those lobbying the president-elect argue with emphasis, that Alison-Madueke should be allowed to complete her term as president of the oil producers’ cartel; […]

With elections now over and newly-elected leaders about to take office, it is safe to say, given the rancorous, indecorous campaigns, Nigeria won in an election in which its people, for the higher sake of their country, simply voted for change. The main opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) recorded an impressive performance with its presidential […]

Reports reaching me from various camps of PDP candidates for Saturday’s governorship elections shows that President Goodluck Jonathan has abandoned his party men to their fate , following his shocking defeat in March 28th presidential polls. Some PDP leaders and candidates have told me that Jonathan had left them to their fate and they are […]

As the ruling PDP grapples with the crisis of leadership following the defeat of its presidential candidate, the Buhari band-wagon effect will certainly reverberate on next Saturday’s gubernatorial elections, where the pendulum is expected to sway in favor of opposition APC party candidates. It is simply logical that political correctness will push some States to […]

Although a shocking event to elitist bookmakers, the defeat of incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan by Gen Muhammadu Buhari; the first ousting of a ruling party in a national election in Nigeria’s history, is a strong message about the need for a perceptive harmonization of the triad of governance, people and democracy. Besides the collateral damage […]

The multi-billion naira gifts that the ruling party shared to all manners of groups to purchase endorsement for the incumbent Nigeria’s leader Goodluck Jonathan should be returned, if the thieves who collected the money have any conscience at all. This money belongs to the Nigerian people and those who induced the outgoing president to give […]

With the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announcing collated results for the presidential election from the 36 states and the FCT, it is now all but certain that the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Major-General Muhammadu Buhari has won the 2015 presidential election, defeating incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan of the ruling Peoples […]

Present realities   have  impelled  me  to,   once  again,    amplify  reasons  why   Nigerians  in  general  and  Ndigbo    in  particular  must  vote  against  Major-General  Buhari(retd)  in  the   presidential  election  scheduled  for  Saturday,  March  28.This  viewpoint  is written  bexause  of  the   litany  os    propaganda    and  disinfornation   by  the   agents  and  propagandists  of  the   All  Peoples  Congress(APC).  . It […]

Already once-postponed, the presidential election rescheduled for this Saturday, March 28, will go down in history as the most awful and odious campaign ever! That is, perhaps, how best to sum it all up. It is a measure of the degeneration of the campaign war that the spouses of the two leading candidates hit the […]

Predicting the outcome of an election has never been this difficult. The reason is not too complex though: this is the first time since 1999 that the opposition party has gathered enormous momentum going into an election. What’s more: there seems to be a blossoming coalition between Muhammadu Buhari and the south. All you need do is […]

Goodluck Jonathan has no regard for Nigerians and therefore doesn’t believe it is wrong to look us in the eye and lie to us.  Much as I respect the office of the President, I must confess the office has been so diminished by the president occupant of the Aso Villa, that it does not deserve […]
