The All Progressive Congress APC has strongly rejected claims suggesting that the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu, has endorsed the second term ambition of Abia state Governor, Alex Otti.
The rebuttal is coming against the backdrop of growing speculations amidst social media reports claiming that Kalu has jettisoned his much touted gubernatorial bid to endorse Governor Otti’s re-election.
Alex Otti, Abia State Governor
According to the reports, Kalu has instead resolved to concentrate on consolidating his stay at the National Assembly.
It will be recalled that the Deputy Speaker was said to have earlier in the week procured the expression of interest and nomination forms for the Abia Governorship and House of Representatives race, a development which had accentuated rumours of abandoning his pursuit for the state’s topmost job.
But in a statement on Friday May 8, 2026, from Uche Aguoru, its spokesperson, the Abia State chapter of the APC described the reports of the Deputy Speaker’s purported endorsement of Governor Otti as false, misleading and mischievous.
The party accused Governor Otti’s media minders of being behind the cowardly misinformation circulating in social space.
While calling on party members, supporters and Abia residents to disregard the reports, the APC emphasized the unflinching commitment of Kalu to the party’s quest at staking a strong claim in the governance space of Abia state come 2027.
“The attention of the APC in Abia State has been drawn to a misleading, malicious and deceptive propaganda being circulated across various media platforms allegedly by Governor Alex Otti’s media team.
“For the benefits of unsuspecting members of the public who may be misled by these desperate falsehood, we wish to categorically state the Rt Hon Benjamin Okezie Kalu has never, at any time, either publicly or privately, endorsed Governor Alex Otti for a second term in office.
“Rt. Hon. Kalu remains a loyal, committed, and dedicated party man as well as the undisputed leader of the APC in Abia State.
“On the contrary, the Deputy Speaker has remained resolute, and fully committed to the mission of ensuring that the All Progressive Congress wins all elective positions in Abia State and takes over the Government House, Umuahia, come May 29, 2029
“His determination to ensure that the Labour Party, LP, administration in Abia State is voted out remains strong, consistent and unwavering, especially in view of what many Abians consider the mismanagement of the state across critical sectors of governance”, the APC stated.
The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has revealed reasons for relocation of some Saudi Arabia bound pilgrims from the newly commissioned Gateway Internal Airport, Iperu in Ogun state to the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, (MMIA) Lagos.
It dismissed reports suggesting that the newly commissioned Gateway International Airport, Iperu, Ogun State, was rejected by Saudi carrier Flynas for Hajj operations, describing such claims as false, misleading and entirely unfounded.
Reacting to media reports surrounding the temporary relocation of Ogun pilgrims to the MMIA, Lagos, NAHCON Chairman, Ambassador Ismail Abba Yusuf, clarified that the adjustment was purely a matter of operational timing and flight scheduling, and not a consequence of any deficiency or rejection of the Gateway Airport by the airline.
According to Ambassador Yusuf, the decision followed a careful review of flight logistics, turnaround timelines and the broader coordination of the ongoing 2026 Hajj airlift exercise.
He stressed that at no point did Flynas declare the airport unsuitable or unsafe for operations, contrary to insinuations circulating in some sections of the media.
He explained that Hajj operations involve highly sensitive scheduling arrangements tied to Saudi Arabia’s aviation windows, aircraft rotation plans and pilgrim movement coordination across different states, adding that such operational adjustments are not unusual during large-scale international pilgrimages.
The NAHCON Chairman urged the public, intending pilgrims and stakeholders to disregard speculative narratives aimed at creating panic or discrediting the airport project, insisting that Gateway International Airport remains a functional and approved facility capable of supporting international operations.
Ambassador Yusuf further reassured affected pilgrims that all necessary arrangements had been made to guarantee their safe and timely transportation to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, while commending the Ogun State Government for its cooperation and support throughout the exercise.
He appealed for calm and patience from pilgrims and their families, emphasizing that the welfare, safety and successful participation of Nigerian pilgrims remain NAHCON’s highest priority.
Former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi, has purchased nomination form of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), which signals his entry into the 2027 presidential race.
Amaechi, the immediate past Minister of Transportation, said that the nomination form was obtained on his behalf on Friday by former Edo State Governor and prominent ADC chieftain, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, at the party National Headquarters in Abuja.
Amaechi had, also, in 2023, contested for the primary election against the incumbent President, Bola Tinubu and others.
Amaechi’s formal entry into the contest has already generated widespread political interest across the country. Many stakeholders describe him as one of the most experienced and nationally recognised figures within the opposition coalition.
An administrator and influential political mobiliser, Amaechi brings decades of governance experience spanning the legislative arm, State administration, and federal executive service.
His political trajectory continues to command significant attention due to his strong grassroots networks, national visibility, and reputation for decisive leadership.
As Governor of Rivers State, Amaechi oversaw extensive infrastructural transformation, educational reforms, and urban development projects that positioned the State among Nigeria’s leading sub-national economies.
His administration’s investments in road construction, healthcare, and model educational institutions remain notable aspects of his governance legacy.
At the federal level, his tenure as Minister of Transportation was marked by renewed focus on railway modernisation and transportation infrastructure.
Strategic rail projects such as the Abuja-Kaduna and Lagos-Ibadan rail lines emerged as signature initiatives during his stewardship of the ministry.
The development is expected to strengthen the profile of the ADC as political consultations and alignments intensify ahead of the next electoral cycle.
With his formal entry into the race, Amaechi is increasingly being projected as one of the frontline presidential aspirants capable of mounting a formidable national campaign built on experience, political structure, and administrative capacity.
The National President of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, MACBAN, Bello Bodejo has been arrested by security operatives under what many have perceived as hazy and questionable circumstances.
Bodejo was arrested on Thursday night May 7, 2026 by personnel of the Department of State Service DSS, hours after arriving Jalingo ,the Taraba state capital, via a private jet.
The MACBAN national leader who is angling for the Taraba Central Senatorial District seat on the platform of the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, was arrested shortly after addressing his supporters drawn from the five local councils that make up Taraba Central.
Although his whereabouts, and reasons for his arrest have not been stated, Bodejo was arrested by same security personnel that escorted him to Jalingo, after he refused to renounce his Senatorial ambition as allegedly demanded by the authorities.
He was said to have vehemently rejected several entreaties and pressure both from the powers-that-be to withdraw from the Senatorial race .
According to Umar, one of his aides, the MACBAN national president was seized during a visit to the office of a security agency in company with some of his political and business associates.
Those on the visit with him were, allegedly, asked to leave while Bodejo was held.
He expressed serious concern and fears over the whereabouts of the Miyetti Allah leader.
“At the moment, we do not know where he has been taken to.
“The same security personnel that escorted and protected him from Abuja to Jalingo were the ones who later arrested him.
“We are yet to be informed of the reason(s) for his arrest ,and our major concern now is that we do not know where he is being detained”, Umar stated .
Instructively, Bodejo had, while addressing thousands of his supporters and during an interactive session with the media , vowed not to step down for anybody in the Senatorial race.
“I didn’t purchase the expression of interest and nomination forms only to step down for somebody .
“I am in the race to win ,and nobody is going to force me to step down
“The consensus committee set up by the State Governor has not contacted me. Besides, let me make it clear, that I will not step down for anybody, no matter the pressure”, the MACBAN president vowed.
As at the time of reporting, no official statement had been issued by security agencies on Bodejo’s arrest.
The Federal Capital Territory, (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has flayed critics of the Government for providing accommodation for Judges, saying it cannot erode the independence of the Judiciary.
The Minister made the remark on Friday, during his routine projects inspection within the nation’s capital, Abuja.
Addressing recent criticisms regarding the executive’s role in building judicial residences, Wike dismissed claims that such projects erode judicial independence.
He pointed out the irony of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) criticizing government-funded infrastructure, while simultaneously accepting government sponsorship for their own activities and conferences.
”The mere fact that the executive constructs does not mean that that will lead to interference in the judiciary,” Wike stated, reaffirming that providing comfortable housing allows judges to stay focused on their work without compromise.
He also revealed during the inspection that the FCT Administration is shifting its focus towards industrial waste recycling to achieve a more sustainable and consistently clean capital city.
The Minister argued that the current culture of monthly environmental sanitation is insufficient for the long-term needs of a modern city.
Beyond Monthly Sanitation, the Minister questioned the long-term impact of the traditional “Sanitation Saturday,” noting that while it provides a temporary facelift, it does not solve the root problem of waste accumulation.
”If you do it on a Saturday, that Saturday is clean. What about other days?
“For me, that is not a very major issue. Having a dump site is not enough for you to say that the problem is solved.”
He emphasized that true waste management is an industrial necessity, rather than just a routine business task.
According to the Minister, the goal is to transit from merely collecting refuse to processing it through modern technologies.
The Minister disclosed that the FCTA is looking to move beyond the use of landfills and dump sites by establishing specialized factories.
“The vision is to turn Abuja’s waste into a resource by creating new products, aligning with global best practices.
“The FCTA is already receiving and reviewing offers from experts who have successfully implemented these systems in other global cities.”
In addition to waste management, the Minister provided updates on critical infrastructure projects slated for inauguration during President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s third year in office.
Wike expressed high satisfaction with the Judges’ residences, describing the work as “beautiful” and “99 percent ready.”
He also inspected the road project, which is 100 percent complete, and the Court of Appeal (Abuja Division).
While the Court of Appeal is 90 percent complete, the Minister was candid about his expectations for quality, ordering the contractor to correct several “errors” before the official commissioning.
Wike reiterated that the FCTA remains undeterred and focused on fulfilling its promises to the residents of Abuja through both physical infrastructure and innovative environmental solutions.
As the 2027 General Election draws closer, the Kwankwasiyya Movement has called for unity and issue-based politics ahead of the 2027 general elections, warning against political division and targeted attacks on individuals.
The group, in a statement issued on Friday, signed by Habibu Sale Mohammed, spokesperson of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, stated that Nigerians should focus on building a broad coalition that reflects national interest rather than promoting narratives that deepen division.
The group made the remarks following the recent marriage of convenience between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi both of whom recently joined the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC.
The group maintained that many Nigerians across regions and political backgrounds have welcomed the talks as a step toward national unity and democratic growth.
However, it expressed concern that some commentators, particularly from parts of the Northern political space, are pushing what it described as misleading narratives aimed at discrediting Kwankwaso.
“It is unfortunate that some commentators have resorted to selective attacks and misleading narratives aimed specifically at discrediting Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso,” Mohammed said.
The group suggested that the criticism may be driven by fear of the political strength such an alliance could bring
“What appears to be troubling certain interests is not merely the possibility of political cooperation, but the enormous national potential such an alliance represents,” he stated.
The Kwankwasiyya Movement further noted that the partnership between Kwankwaso and Obi could reshape Nigeria’s political landscape by bringing together strong support bases from both the North and the South.
“For the first time in recent political history, Nigerians are witnessing the realistic possibility of a broad-based political understanding capable of bridging the long-standing regional divide,” the group said.
It also added that while Kwankwaso has a strong grassroots structure in the North, Obi enjoys wide support among youths and urban voters, especially in the South.
“Such cooperation introduces a new political equation that transcends ethnicity, religion, and regional sentiment,” he said.
The group also criticised what it described as double standards in how political engagements are judged.
“Some commentators portray Kwankwaso as ambitious or disruptive, while describing similar engagements by others as strategic and patriotic. This double standard is both unfortunate and revealing.”
It also insisted that coalition-building is a normal and necessary part of democracy and should not be discouraged.
“Any honest political observer understands that the coming together of leaders with proven electoral strength and independent structures can reshape Nigeria’s democratic landscape,” he added.
The group, however, urged political actors and commentators to act with fairness and maturity, especially at a time when Nigerians are facing economic and security challenges.
In a fresh attack, gunmen have again invaded Ngbra Zongo community, Kwall District of Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State killing no fewer than 13 persons.
The incident, which occurred in the early hours of Friday, threw the community into panic, leaving several residents with varying degrees of injuries.
A resident, Mr Philip Alanga, told Channels Television in Jos that the attackers invaded the community at about midnight, opening fire indiscriminately before attacking residents with machetes and other dangerous weapons.
According to him, the assailants moved from house to house, targeting innocent residents and leaving a trail of death and destruction.
“They came into the community around midnight and started shooting and hacking people to death. They moved from one house to another, attacking innocent people,” Alanga said.
He explained that many residents fled into nearby bushes to escape the violence, while several others were left injured and in urgent need of medical attention.
Confirming the incident, Secretary General of the Irigwe Development Association (IDA), Mr Danjuma Auta, described the attack as barbaric, tragic, and condemnable.
Auta lamented the recurring attacks on communities in Bassa Local Government Area and other parts of Plateau State, calling on security agencies to strengthen surveillance and provide adequate protection for vulnerable rural communities.
He urged security operatives to swiftly apprehend those behind the killings and ensure they are brought to justice to prevent further bloodshed in the area.
Assailants had attacked the Nding Susut community in the Fan District of the Barkin Ladi Local Government Area on Tuesday, leaving five persons dead and three others injured, according to police authorities.
Residents said the attackers stormed the community at about 8 p.m. and opened fire on people who were seated outside their homes.
A community member, Weng Christopher, told Channels Television that the gunmen attacked members of a family seated in their compound, triggering panic in the area.
According to him, one of the victims initially escaped, but was later pursued and killed by the assailants.
“This is becoming too frequent. People are living in constant fear. We can no longer sleep peacefully because these attacks keep happening,” Christopher said.
While reacting to the incident, the Publicity Secretary of Berom Youth Moulders, Rwang Tengwong, condemned the killings and described the persistent attacks as disturbing.
“The gunmen came around 8 p.m. and attacked members of a family who were sitting outside. One person ran away but was later traced and killed,” Tengwong said.
The 76th Regular National Council on Health meeting has been scheduled to hold in November and will be hosted by Nasarawa state.
To this end, Nasarawa State Government has constituted 12 sub-committees to oversee preparations for the upcoming event.
Speaking at the inauguration of the committees on Friday in Lafia, Dr Gaza Gwamna, Commissioner for Health explained that the event would bring together health professionals and stakeholders from the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
The Gwamna, who also doubles as the Chairman of the Central Working Committee, added that the National Council of Health meeting is the highest decision-making body to deliberate on key health policies and programmes and take decisions to improve the sector.
He explained that though the meeting was scheduled for November 2026, the state set up 12 sub-committees to handle logistics, security, accommodation, publicity, and medical services to ensure a smooth and successful hosting.
“The National Council on Health is a high-level platform where critical decisions on healthcare delivery are made.
“The National Council on Health meeting is typically convened annually to review progress and set directions for health programs and our state has been given the hosting right in 2026.
“Nasarawa State is committed to providing a conducive environment for robust discussions and outcomes that will benefit the health sector nationwide,” he said.
The Commissioner further disclosed that hosting the meeting presents an opportunity to showcase the state’s investments in healthcare infrastructure and to attract further collaboration with federal agencies and development partners.
Gwamna appreciated Gov. Abdullahi Sule of the state for his support and approval to host the meeting and assured that the state would be the best among the states that hosted the event in the past.
On his part, Dr Ibrahim Alhassan, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Health said that members of the committees were drawn from various Ministries and Federal and state agencies.
The Permanent Secretary further said that the members of the various communities were carefully selected due to their expertise, experiences to deliver on their assigned responsibilities.
Despite opposition by defence lawyers, the Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday adjourned indefinitely the suit challenging the leadership structure of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) involving former Senate President, David Mark, and former Osun State governor, Rauf Aregbesola.
Justice Emeka Nwite postponed the matter after the plaintiff, ADC chieftain Nafiu Bala Gombe, informed the court that he had applied to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court for the transfer of the case to another judge.
The suit, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1819/2025, has deepened the leadership crisis within the ADC following the emergence of Mark and Aregbesola in the party’s leadership arrangement.
At the resumed hearing, counsel to the plaintiff, Luka Musa Haruna, told the court that the Supreme Court had on April 30 dismissed an interlocutory appeal filed by Mark against the proceedings.
According to him, the apex court also vacated the earlier order of the Court of Appeal staying proceedings in the substantive matter.
“My Lord, we are glad to inform this honourable court that on the 30th day of April 2026, the Supreme Court delivered its judgment on the interlocutory appeal dismissing the said appeal for lacking in merit,” Haruna said.
The lawyer, however, disclosed that the plaintiff had written to the Chief Judge on May 4 requesting that the matter be reassigned to another judge.
He urged the court to await the administrative decision of the Chief Judge before taking further steps in the case.
The request was strongly opposed by lawyers representing the defendants, who accused the plaintiff of attempting to delay the accelerated hearing earlier ordered by the Court of Appeal and affirmed by the Supreme Court.
Counsel to the first defendant, Realwan Okpanachi, argued that the defence had not been served with the application seeking transfer of the matter.
“We have not received any communication regarding that application. Therefore, we take the approach of the plaintiff as an ambush.”
He further described the move as an attempt to frustrate the speedy hearing of the case.
Also opposing the request, counsel to the second defendant, Sulaiman Usman, described the application as “forum shopping and judge shopping.”
“So my Lord, for the plaintiffs to come back to this court and inform us today that they have written a private correspondence to the Honourable Chief Judge and hinge a request on it for this court to await the outcome is not only unfortunate but a dangerous trend,” he argued.
Counsel to the fifth defendant, P.I. Oyewole, also faulted the application, describing it as unusual and improper.
Responding, Haruna maintained that the plaintiff stood by the request for reassignment.
In his ruling, Justice Nwite held that the court could not act on the letter without hearing all parties involved in the suit.
“Taking a decision or any action in such a letter without hearing from the defendants will amount to breach of their fundamental right in this suit,” the judge ruled.
He added that since the application was directed to the Chief Judge, the trial court was not in a position to make pronouncements on it.
The judge subsequently adjourned the matter indefinitely to allow parties file the Certified True Copy of the Supreme Court judgment and await further directives from the Chief Judge.
Gombe is seeking an order restraining Mark, Aregbesola and others from parading themselves as leaders of the ADC, alleging that their emergence violated the party’s constitution and provisions of the Electoral Act.
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has earlier alleged of plan by the Federal Government, using the judiciary to frustrate the case.
_”We won’t bow to impunity, we won’t surrender, we will forge ahead because the law, the constitution, the people and God are with us.” – Gov. Ademola Adeleke of Osun State.
Crushing Irony: Why is nobody talking about this vicious politics playing out in Osun State? Why is all manner of evil being normalised in the country? Why are Nigerians losing sight of a crushing irony of this magnitude?
For one year and three months, the federal government, led by President Bola Tinubu has illegally seized the monthly allocation of 30 local government areas (LGAs) in Osun State. Over N150 billion and the very livelihood of about four million Osun people is being locked down ostensibly on account of dirty politicking.
But the crushing ironies here are that first, it seems not to matter that Osun is the native home of President Tinubu. Cold politics seems to be trumping filial relationship here.
And second, what’s going on is a deja vu situation. In 2004, the federal government led by President Olusegun Obasanjo, had withheld the federal allocations due to Lagos State. The funds were held up until 2007 when Obasanjo was succeeded by President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua who promptly released the seized allocation.
REIGN OF IMPUNITY: In Obasanjo’s 2004, just as in Tinubu’s 2025, impunity, abuse of power (federal might), perverse politics and crude leadership are at play.
Then, as it is now, the supreme court ruled against the withholding of a LGA’s federal allocation by the FG. But the apex court was blatantly disobeyed and repudiated by Obasanjo just as Tinubu’s doing today.
Bola Tinubu as governor of Lagos State had created 37 more administrative areas from the existing 20 LGAs known to Nigeria’s constitution. The FG led by Obasanjo kicked against it. Governor Tinubu held his ground and his position was supported by the highest court in the land.
LIKE OBASANJO, LIKE TINUBU: Just as President Obasanjo was Governor Tinubu’s nemesis in 2004, President Tinubu is Governor Ademola Adeleke’s albatross today. Though the issues may be similar, the details are not exactly the same. While Obasanjo may seem to be defending the constitution he was sworn to, by stopping the creation of more administrative entities not stated in the constitution, Tinubu’s current action is driven by crass politics.
He insists that LGA chairmen who are members of his party, but whose term of office had elapsed must be retained.
A new ‘election’ has since been conducted by the present governor and new chairmen sworn in, but the former LGA chairmen, helped by the federal police, have besieged and occupied LGA offices for over a year running.
As a confirmation of the crass politicking going on in Osun, exactly the same scenario played out in Edo State. Governor Monday Okpebholo inherited a PDP run local government system. He dislodged them and organised a fresh ‘election’ which brought in his party people.
OPERATION RECLAIM OSUN: This state is not only the birthplace of President Tinubu, it is supposed to be his political stronghold and catchment area. But in 2022, Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of the APC was roundly defeated by popular and plucky Ademola Adeleke of the PDP.
That was during the era of President Buhari when there was still a modicum of credibility in elections. Besides, Oyetola, a sibling of Tinubu having failed woefully and lost woefully as governor, has since been rewarded with a federal ministerial appointment by Tinubu.
But Osun guber election is in August. Just three months away. If the election comes free and credible, the incumbent Adeleke will surely trounce any APC candidate. This partly explains the ongoing brazen attempt to muzzle the incumbent.
Starve the sitting government access to local government funds and cause disaffection between the people and current government. This is what the seizure of Osun LGA federal allocation is all about.
Apart from the fact that there was a Supreme court precedent going way back to the Obasanjo-Tinubu tango in 2004, in the current case, the supreme court has also ruled that the federal government has no right over LGA funds. The federation account doesn’t belong to the federal government. Three federating units – LGAs, States and the FG – are partners and equal owners of the funds in the federation account. For the FG to arrogate to itself, the power to seize any of the co-partners funds is hubris that needs to be cured quickly before it becomes cancerous.
If APC LGA chairmem feel hard done by, they should have approached the court to seek redress, not the presidency deploying federal might of Police and the Ministry of Finance, to repress the opposition.
LIKE ADELEKE, LIKE TINUBU: As Governor Tinubu faced up to President Obasanjo in 2004, it’s the same way Governor Adeleke has stood up to President Tinubu today. Twenty-two years ago, Tinubu dug in, raised Lagos’ IGR, raised taxes and continued to pay LGA workers without a break.
So has Governor Ademola continued to ensure his workers get their pay every month. For one called a dancing governor; bon vivant and happy -go-lucky, Adeleke has showed and uncommon strength and steely will in his time of adversity.
At a public function last February, he spoke firmly and strongly: he said Osun people would not bow to impunity. He condemned what is happening as an illegal hijack of Osun LGA funds and violation of Osun local finance laws.
Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State.
Governor Adeleke declares: “We won’t bow, we won’t surrender, we will forge ahead because the law, the constitution, the people and God are with us. And we shall triumph to the glory of God.”
Very strong and vehement stance there.
How this plays out in the August election remains to be seen. It gets especially tough for Adeleke now that his party, PDP, has been decimated by the agents of the FG. With all these arsenal arrayed against him, Adeleke retaining his seat would be a sheer miracle! But he’s got a lionheart, it seems.
LASTLINE: THE OBI-KWANKWASO TRAIN RAGES ON
The first time this duo showed its hand, there was turbulence in the polity. Peter Obi, the cause celebre of politics in Nigeria today had visited Rabiu Kwankwaso in Kano during the Sallah period, the ancient city practically caught fire. But it was the heart of their opponents that got seared.
The ruling APC was so apprehensive it supporters became paroxysmal. Considering that APC had wooed Kwankwaso vigorously, almost going on their knees, the scene from Kano wasn’t a surprise. They knew Kwankwaso’s cult following in Kano and neighbouring states. He shunned APC for ADC.
When last Monday, Obi walked from ADC for another party , NDC and Kwankwaso followed suit a few days later forging an iconic political marriage never seen before in Nigeria, it was nothing short of a political tsunami in the land.
The Obi-Kwankwaso ticket presents a most interesting political marriage. Both men command teeming organic followership that has become something of a cult hero worship.
While the OBiDIENTS movement is more widespread, the Kwankwasiya is deep in Kano, Jigawa and close by states.
With the ADC and Atiku left in the cold, and with the opposition divided, whether the OK Movement as Obi-Kwankwaso team is known, can tame the incumbency bull will be determined at the polls in January, 2027. Fingers crossed, but the air is thick and pregnant!
