The young people have succeeded in throwing Kenya into turmoil, and no one in that country can now sleep with their two eyes closed

The Supreme Court’s verdict was very emphatic and unequivocal. All the reliefs sought by the FG were granted.

This piece is not really about the re-engineering work being done on the economy, which is now recording a gradual growth. 

However, South Korea is not just a developed nation today; it is also a regional power.

Showing empathy for people and emotional intelligence of identifying with the weak and vulnerable are in Tinubu’s DNA.  

Dr. Jonathan’s grouse against off-season elections is that they are inconsistent with the global best practices.

Former Vice President and roundly defeated presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, was a pitiful sight to behold on Thursday at the Shehu Yar ‘Adua Centre, Abuja as he sat like a wreck after addressing what he called a world press conference. 

In dangling both war and peace options to the Niger military, the regional leaders were bent on restoring constitutional order

It is interesting that the Peoples Democratic Party, its candidate, Governor Obaseki, and the Chairman of the party’s Campaign Council for Edo State, Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, all of who had initially alleged the APC had perfected the rigging of the poll, suddenly turned round, after seeing the results being declared going its way, to say the election was now the best thing to have happened since Nigeria’s independence and that INEC had redeemed its seeming sullen image.

Political carpetbaggers and their hired mercenaries have strained and tugged so hard to paint recent developments within the All Progressives Congress to be what they are not. With the legal disputes regarding the national chairmanship, the party was certainly going through a rough patch.

Coronavirus is biting nations hard. Across the globe, the number of infections rises daily; lives and nations are being torn apart. Global cases exceed one million mark with over 50,000 deaths. In Nigeria, COVID-19 cases had risen close to 200. The daily increase is worrisome. If we do not quickly arrest the rate of increase, we might soon face what is unanswerable.

The global coronavirus pandemic is really gathering speed. The numbers are frighteningly on the rise. As I write this on Thursday, more than 500,000 persons across the world, 65 of them in Nigeria, have been infected with the virus

For Lagosians, this Saturday’s governorship election promises to be decisive. It will put many issues finally to bed. One of the issues that must be put to rest is the chasm that some are trying to create and exploit between Yoruba and Igbo people in Lagos. Even among brothers within the same family who love and care for each other, differences arise at times.

Specifically for us in Osun, next Saturday’s election is significant for what it portends for the future of the state in the next four years. It will determine who takes over from Governor Aregbesola who in eight years laid a solid infrastructural and socio-economic foundation for the state to move to the next level, which is economic development and industrialisation level

As the tenure of the Chief John Odigie-Oyegun-led executives drew to its natural conclusion, some sought for that group an unnatural extension. Odigie-Oyegun and his allies sought to subvert the national and party conventions by forgoing internal party elections in order to give themselves an extra tenure without recourse to the will of the majority of the party

So the writers deduced that the visit was to reconcile the Afenifere leader and Asiwaju, as if Tinubu and Pa Fasoranti were at daggers drawn

In a recent interview with African Independent Television, the embattled chairman accused Governor Nyesom Wike and former PDP Deputy National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, of plotting to hand over the party’s presidential ticket to a prominent leader of the All Progressives Congress

President Muhammadu Buhari was spot on during the week with the nomination of Ndoma-Egba for appointment as Chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission

‘Sometimes I wonder how the electoral system threw up a man of questionable character like Melaye to represent Kogi West in the Senate, as opposed to a more decent Senator Smart Adeyemi, who contested on the Peoples Democratic Party platform…’

Indeed, God gave Ekiti governor a second chance after his disastrous first time. Fayose was forced to abruptly leave the governorship seat and the country after he was impeached
