Published

A high powered tension pervaded the Aso Rock Villa few hours after the decampment of senators and some members of the house of Representative contrary to the façade sold to Nigerians about the prsident wishing the decamp es well in their sojourn to a new party.

Daily Watch Sources in the villa confirmed that the President Mohammadu Buhari was so miffed with the shift by several Senators and members of the house pf representatives and threats of several others that he almost dropped the idea of a 2nd term pursuit by telling Nigerians he is opting out as a result of his health and age.

Daily Watch investigations confirmed that the president and his wife had both agreed to toe that line of honor having realized the dismal decline in his popularity base and the possibility of a defeat staring him in the face if he goes ahead with the gamble of 2019.

According to Daily Watch Sources, the President was totally disorganized and pissed with the strange decampment in spite of the overwhelming assurances given by the APC top hierarchy that the situation was under control and the fervent assurance of his Political Caucus and Cabal in the seat of Power here in Abuja.

Daily Watch confirmed that it took the suave intelligence and unrivaled Pressure of members of the Cabal,Babagana Kingibe (Head of the Buhari Political Caucus) and several others in the seat of Power to stop the President from towing the line of honor like Mandala by opting out of the 2019 elections following the tsunami that saw Senators and Res members vacating the APC for the PDP.

The President was said to have mellowed down after several hours of assurances,plea and convincing by his close associates that the move by the Reps members and senators does not affect his Political base as the masses were still solidly behind him and tht they too would prove it in the days ahead with tenable evidences among the populace of Nigeria.

Daily Watch findings confirmed that the plot by Buhari to drop his 2nd term bid received overwhelming support of the wife who who said to have totally supported the idea but was shocked on the recanting of her husband following unrivaled and uncommon pressure mounted on the President by the Cabal and other very close associates who were able to convince him against that line of action by creating a picture of Political invisibility which gave the almost demoralized President some form of invigoration again.

Daily Watch Attempts to reach out to the President Spokes men on the reported threat by the President to jettison his 2nd bid on the grounds of health and age after the decampment of several APC stalwarts was not possible as all text messages to their numbers were not responded to

2027: Ex-Lawmaker Urges Makinde Not to Contest Against Tinubu

Published

Jude Idimogu, a prominent chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State and former lawmaker, has cautioned Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde against considering a presidential run against President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.

Speaking in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Lagos, Idimogu, who also serves as the Deputy Leader of Ndigbo in Lagos APC, described such a move as a futile endeavor that would ultimately waste time and resources.

“The reality is that Governor Seyi Makinde cannot defeat President Bola Tinubu. Tinubu will secure re-election by God’s grace. Nothing will stop his victory,” Idimogu stated.

He further described President Tinubu as a strategic leader and “game changer” whose political prowess remains unmatched in Nigeria.

While acknowledging that Governor Makinde has the constitutional right to seek any elective office, Idimogu expressed doubt that Makinde would heed calls urging him to challenge Tinubu, especially given their cordial relationship.

Addressing the emergence of a potential opposition coalition ahead of 2027, the former lawmaker dismissed its chances of unseating Tinubu, asserting that no alliance could stand in the way of the president’s re-election.

Nigerian Army Lacks Equipment to Combat Boko Haram – Governor Zulum

Published

on

Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State has raised concerns over the Nigerian Army’s insufficient equipment in the fight against Boko Haram insurgents. According to him, the insurgents are now leveraging advanced technology, putting Nigerian soldiers at a disadvantage.

“Recently, I met with the Chief of Army Staff who revealed that the Army needs 32 drones to effectively combat the insurgency,” Zulum said. “Each drone costs about $5.5 million. We must pool resources to acquire them and prioritize national security.”

The governor also stressed the importance of transparent procurement processes. “We need to focus on direct, government-to-government procurement of military equipment, both hardware and software, to ensure value for money,” he said. “Contractors often fail to deliver when funds are handed over to them.”

Zulum called for unity and cooperation between the federal and state governments. “If we are truly committed, this insurgency can be ended in six months. We must not politicize security issues. The Federal Government must listen and act.”
