 APC leader: Tinubu's response to Oyetola's defeat was insincere Bola Tinubu Elton Onwu, a senior member of the All Progressive Congress, lambasted opponents on Monday for attributing Bola Tinubu's defeatist remarks following the results of the Osun State governorship election to the APC. In the early hours of Sunday, a message went viral that cited Tinubu as saying he wouldn't dwell on his defeats but would instead rethink his strategy for the general elections of 2023. I don't linger on my losses, the statement said. I analyze my errors, draw conclusions, and plan forward to increase my chances of winning the next conflict. Onwu, a member of the 2019 APC Presidential Campaign Council, responded to the viral tweet by claiming authorship of the phrase. He claims that the article was taken off his page by unidentified individuals, posted on various social networking sites, and then printed online by publications. Onwu chastised social media users, including some A...

 Tinubu-Shettima ticket: APC picked best victory combination, says National Chairman APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu In this interview with Arise TV, Senator Adamu Abdullahi, the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, discusses the party's Muslim-Muslim ticket and other topics while being observed by our journalist, SEGUN ADEWOLE. On Sunday, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, defended the party's Muslim-Muslim ticket. According to Adamu, the party selected the most qualified group of candidates to lead it there in an interview with Arise TV. Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the APC presidential candidate, chose Senator Kashim Shettima, a fellow Muslim and former governor of Borno State, as his running mate two weeks prior. The party and its candidate had received criticism from organizations like the Christian Association of Nigeria. Adamu spoke on the subject, saying, "Normally, I accept people's political b...

 Tinubu disregards criticism and files the INEC paperwork for the Muslim-Muslim ticket. Bola Tinubu Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the APC's presidential candidate, dashed the hopes of several Nigerians on Friday who had hoped he would change his mind about the divisive Muslim-Muslim ticket by appointing a northern Christian to be his running mate in place of Kashim Shettima, the former governor of Borno State. Hours before the Independent National Electoral Commission's deadline, a source in Tinubu's camp claimed that the APC standard-bearer had rejected all requests to drop Shettima. When he named Shettima, a northern Muslim, as his running partner, Tinubu, a southern Muslim, attracted the fury of the Christian Association of Nigeria, some party members, and political stakeholders. After his private meeting with the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (ret.), at his home in Daura, Katsina State, over the Sallah break, he announced the news to the media. The statement drew sig...

 We can no longer campaign for Tinubu’s presidential bid – Northern APC Christians Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima CHRISTIANS of Northern extraction in the All Progressive Congress (APC) have said they can no longer campaign for the party’s presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, because of his choice of a Muslim running mate. They made this position known in a communiqué issued to journalists, on Tuesday, following an emergency meeting of the group in Abuja where the issue of the religious colouration of the APC’s presidential ticket and its implication for the nation was on the front burner. According to the communiqué jointly signed by Prof. Doknan Sheni (Chairman) and General Ishaya Bauka (Secretary), the group explained that Tinubu’s selection of a Muslim running mate had exasperated the Christians in the North, and portrayed the APC as a party that is insensitive to their yearnings. It warned that if the selection of Senator Kashim Shettima as the party’s vice presidenti...

 Lawyer: Tinubu can't monopolize Osun as he can in Lagos. Bola Tinubu Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress' presidential candidate, cannot be allowed to monopolize Osun State like he did with Lagos State, according to human rights attorney Pelumi Olajengbesi of Abuja. In response to a remark made by Tinubu at the APC rally in Osogbo, the capital of Osun State, ahead of the Osun governorship election on July 16, Olajengbesi made this known in a statement on Wednesday. According to The MEDIA, the former governor of Lagos State reportedly said that supporters of the Labour Party, the Peoples Democratic Party, and other ostensibly minor parties will "labor till they die." Vote with the future in mind and keep your children in mind. Crowds should gather. Don't worry about the PDP or other "mushroom" parties like Labour; they will work till they drop. God won't turn you into slaves, Tinubu said at the event. Olajengbesi said that Tinubu's stateme...

  Group claims Kwankwaso disrespects and misrepresents the North. Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso A group, the Arewa Youths Progressive Alliance, has distanced itself from a remark attributed to Rabiu Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, that electors from the North will only support politicians from the region. Alhaji Sambo Galadima, the group's spokesman, pointed out that "the North is neither anti-progress nor xenophobic toward other Nigerians." In a statement issued on Thursday in Kaduna, Galadima claimed that the former governor of Kano State's portrayal of the region was not only insulting to the area but also inaccurate of the genuine nature of the average northern voter. The NNPP presidential candidate Kwankwaso claimed on Channels TV that the North was retrogressive, but the NNPP spokesman pointed out flaws in that claim. Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso's statements paint the North as backwards and the typical northern voter as callou...

  Presidential poll: Obi, Kwankwaso’s negotiations dead, says Okupe Kwakwaso And Peter Obi The planned coalition between the Labour Party and the New Nigerian People's Party for the 2023 general election has been declared "dead," according to Dr. Doyin Okupe, Director-General of the Obi Presidential Campaign Organization. The proposal, according to Okupe, who serves as Peter Obi's de facto running partner for the LP presidential nomination and former governor of Anambra State, has been dead for almost four weeks. The LP had intended to form a coalition with the NNPP, with Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, the latter party's presidential candidate, running on the same platform as Obi. On Tuesday night, Okupe revealed during an appearance on Channels Television's Politics Today that the negotiation stalled when the LP side questioned the election of a second Muslim northerner succeeding the president, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd). Senator Ditti Baba-Ahmed is re...

 Due to Tinubu's alleged perjury, the CSO sues the IGP in court. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu The Inspector-General of Police has been sued by a civil rights organization, Incorporated Trustees of Center for Reform and Public Advocacy, for reportedly refusing to bring charges against Bola Tinubu, the APC's presidential candidate, on claims that verge on perjury. The Nigerian Police Force and the IGP are named as the first and second respondents in the lawsuit, which was dated and filed on July 4 in Abuja on behalf of the organization. The CSO said that the IGP's purported unwillingness to act on its petition against Tinubu regarding an offense it claimed the presidential candidate was indicted by the Lagos State House of Assembly in 1999 justified the legal action against the police. The applicant argued that Section 4 of the Nigerian Police Act, 2020 and Sections 214 and 215 of the constitution give the police the legal obligation to "prevent, detect, and investigate cri...

 Tinubu's running companion should be El-Rufai, according to Group Bola Tinubu and Malam Nasiru El-Rufai Malam Nasir El-Rufai, the governor of Kaduna State, has received the support of an organization called Tinubu Support Organisation as Asiwaju Bola Tinubu's finest option for a running partner. The TSO claimed that after consulting with important APC stakeholders in the country's North-West geopolitical region, it made the decision. The organization pointed out that the APC had many exceptional leaders who could serve as Tinubu's running mate, but that the North-West, as the region with the greatest share of votes in Nigeria, ought to be permitted to choose the next vice president. Aminu Suleiman, the Director-General of the Tinubu Support Organization, told reporters in Kaduna on Monday that Tinubu's choice of running partner was a crucial component of his success. El-Rufai is Asiwaju's first option for vice president, according to Suleiman, who cited extensi...
