Lai Mohammed, others Transit Kwara politicians -Saraki

Senate President Bukola Saraki has described the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed and other opponents in Kwara politics as transit politicians who visit the state once in four years.Speaking at the weekend in Minna as part of his presidential campaign to Niger State, Saraki stated that the people know their leaders and would not vote for wrong people.
He said: “In Kwara, they are transit politicians. They only come around during elections.”He equally paid homage to one-time military leader, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida (rtd). Reason for the visit was, though, hazy at press time.
However, the state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) of violence. In a statement, the state publicity secretary, Tunde Ashaolu, recalled the alleged public disturbances involving supporters of the party in different locations within Ilorin, the capital city.
In a quick reaction, the state chairman of the APC, Bashiru Bolarinwa Omolaja, dismissed the allegations as false and mischievous, adding that the ruling party must allegedly be stage-managing an attack system “in order to shift the blame to our people. They should look inward because we are peace-loving people. ”
Besides, prominent lawyer, Muhammad Dele Belgore (SAN), is running for the office of the governor come next year.He told his supporters at the weekend in the capital that it was time for “Kwara to reclaim its rightful place as a first generation state.”
The Ilorin-born senior lawyer hailed his supporters for “staying true to the ideals of good governance and community values” he represents.He is the sixth to have publicly declared intention to run for the position at next year’s polls.

Tinubu’s Reforms Have Significantly Reduced Poverty in Northern Nigeria — Governor Uba Sani

Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has lauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what he described as transformative efforts that have led to a significant reduction in poverty across Northern Nigeria, particularly in the North-West region.
Speaking on the impact of federal government interventions under the current administration, Governor Sani noted that prior to President Tinubu’s tenure, poverty levels in the region were alarmingly high, with estimates ranging between 65 and 70 percent.
“Over the last two years, President Tinubu has initiated key reforms and strategic interventions that go far beyond short-term relief measures,” the governor stated. “We are not merely referring to palliatives — we are talking about deep, structural support that addresses the root causes of poverty.”
Governor Sani emphasized that no administration in recent memory has committed as robustly to agricultural development as that of President Tinubu. He highlighted various initiatives, including extensive fertilizer distribution, financial assistance to smallholder farmers, and large-scale monetary support allocated without political bias.
“These initiatives have not only boosted agricultural productivity but have also contributed to job creation, improved rural infrastructure, and the overall reduction of poverty in many communities,” he added.
The governor concluded by asserting that these targeted interventions are laying the groundwork for sustainable economic growth and social inclusion, especially in underserved and rural areas.

ECWA: We’ve Paid Over N300 Million in Ransom to Kidnappers

The Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) has disclosed that it has spent more than N300 million to secure the release of kidnapped members, with negotiations ongoing for the release of around 50 others, according to a report by The Nation.
The church revealed that its members in Kaduna and Plateau States have become prime targets for kidnappers. In a press briefing held in Jos, ECWA General Secretary, Rev. Ayuba Asheshe, expressed deep concern over the growing wave of violence affecting the church community.
Asheshe highlighted the alarming rise in banditry, kidnappings, and militia attacks, calling for urgent and coordinated action from the government and relevant stakeholders to address the crisis.
He pointed to the Kwassam DCC in Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State as one of the hardest-hit areas, where persistent attacks have claimed more than 20 lives. Despite paying over N300 million in ransoms, he said, more than 50 people are still being held captive — a situation that has placed a heavy financial and emotional burden on the church and affected families, many of whom have lost their means of livelihood.
He also noted that the Binawa LCC of ECWA Saminaka DCC in Lere Local Government Area of Kaduna State has experienced similar attacks in recent weeks.

Wike Urges PDP to Clarify Zoning Arrangement Ahead of 2027 Presidential Election

Former Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has called on the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to be transparent with Nigerians regarding the zoning of its presidential ticket ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking on the party’s internal crisis and past decisions, Wike criticized the PDP for allegedly abandoning its established tradition of power rotation between the North and South. He recalled that in 2023, despite the understanding that once a particular region produces the party chairman, the other should produce the presidential candidate, some leaders chose to manipulate the process for selfish reasons.
“They refused to zone the presidency and allowed aspirants from the same region to emerge as both party chairman and presidential candidate,” he said. “We warned them then that ignoring zoning would have consequences, but they dismissed it with arrogance.”
Wike further questioned the party’s current stance as it heads into its national convention. He alleged that there are attempts to zone the party chairmanship to the South again, which, he believes, would be a strategic move to deny the South the presidential ticket in 2027.
“Why not come out now and declare that the South will produce the 2027 presidential candidate, especially since the South currently holds the national presidency?” he queried. “This continued game of political trickery will only lead to another disaster for the party.”
He urged PDP leaders to abandon what he described as political “smartness” and embrace openness and fairness. “Let Nigerians know where the party stands now. Don’t wait until it backfires again and start pointing fingers. I’m saying it clearly — I won’t support this kind of manipulation,” Wike warned.
