Dan Ulasi, the former chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Anambra State, has called on the party to consider reaching out to former Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to rejoin the party. Obi, who served as the PDP’s vice-presidential candidate in the 2019 elections alongside Atiku Abubakar, saw the party lose to the then-President Muhammadu Buhari. In the 2023 presidential race, Obi left the PDP to join LP, where he became the party’s flagbearer. Although Obi garnered significant support, coming third in the election, he trailed behind the winner, President Bola Tinubu, and Atiku Abubakar of the PDP. Recently, the PDP has faced challenges of disintegration, with key figures like Ifeanyi Okowa, the former vice-presidential running mate, and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC). These defections have fueled speculations about the possible collapse of the opposition party, which had already faced a series of internal conflicts. Before their defection, Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and other opposition leaders had planned to form a coalition aimed at challenging Tinubu’s administration in 2027. However, the PDP Governors Forum has made it clear that it will not be part of Atiku’s proposed coalition. Despite the political turmoil, Ulasi believes that Obi’s return to the PDP could be a positive move. On Arise Television’s Morning Show, he emphasized: “Peter Obi is a progressive figure. He received over six million votes in the last presidential election, and if the PDP is free of internal power struggles, Obi should be openly approached.” Ulasi further remarked that what Nigeria needs is competent leadership with integrity and honor, qualities that he believes Obi exemplifies. He also expressed his confidence in his ability to facilitate discussions with Obi, should the PDP decide to engage him in talks about the country’s future. Addressing the issue of governors defecting to the APC, Ulasi stated that it would be disgraceful for PDP governors to leave the party without being held accountable for their governance. “I would like to see them explain their accomplishments after eight years in office,” Ulasi said.

Segun Adewale, a prominent figure within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Lagos State chairman, has described former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar as the “messiah” Nigeria urgently needs to resolve its economic challenges. In a recent interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos, Adewale firmly stated that Abubakar should not be dismissed politically or asked to leave the PDP. He expressed that critics of Abubakar’s presidential aspirations, including former PDP Deputy National Chairman Chief Olabode George and former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, were wrong in advising the ex-VP not to run on the PDP platform in 2027. George had recently called for Abubakar’s immediate resignation from the PDP, accusing him of anti-party activities, while Fayose has declared that he would work against Abubakar’s presidential ambition if he chooses to contest in 2027. However, Adewale, popularly known as Aeroland, countered these claims, asserting that Abubakar’s political journey should not be dictated by anyone. According to Adewale, Abubakar’s dedication to Nigeria and his extensive experience in governance make him a crucial figure for the country’s future. “He has been tested and tried and remains one of the few politicians who are content with their accomplishments, never motivated by the desire for wealth,” Adewale noted. He further criticized other politicians who, in his view, seek power for personal gain rather than the betterment of the nation. Adewale lamented the opposition within the PDP itself, with members of the party working against Abubakar’s coalition efforts to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and reclaim power for the PDP. “Anyone in the PDP opposing Atiku’s 2027 presidential bid is working against the party and Nigeria. They are driven by personal interest, not the country’s welfare,” Adewale emphasized. He also stated that no opposition party, including the Labour Party’s Peter Obi, could defeat the APC on its own, calling for a significant overhaul of Nigeria’s electoral system to strengthen democracy. Adewale recalled his personal experience with alleged electoral injustices in Lagos, highlighting the flaws in the current system. “The issue is not about individual popularity or intelligence; it’s about the system. We need to work together to fix the system before the 2027 elections,” Adewale stressed. He concluded by pointing out that Nigerians are tired of poor governance and are calling for change and a fresh approach.

Dan Ulasi, a former Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Anambra State, has described President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a strategic political figure whose influence should not be dismissed, especially amid ongoing defections within the opposition party. Ulasi made these remarks during a recent appearance on Arise TV’s Morning Show, responding to the wave of high-profile defections from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Among the prominent figures who have recently crossed over are former PDP Vice Presidential candidate Ifeanyi Okowa and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State. Ulasi expressed concern over these developments, noting that additional PDP governors may soon join the ruling APC, especially in light of the internal crisis surrounding the PDP Governors Forum’s rejection of the coalition formed by Atiku Abubakar, the party’s former presidential candidate. “The PDP must reassess its direction and begin building resilient political structures across all levels,” Ulasi emphasized. He recalled a statement made two decades ago by the late Vincent Ogbulafor, former PDP National Chairman, who confidently claimed the party would govern Nigeria for 60 years. “Those bold declarations are no longer credible in the face of present realities,” Ulasi noted. Criticizing Tinubu’s international travels amid domestic crises such as killings in Makurdi and Plateau, Ulasi questioned the judgment of political leaders abandoning their parties for the APC without clear justification. Nevertheless, he acknowledged Tinubu’s long-standing political resilience: “I give Tinubu credit where it’s due. He is a seasoned political strategist. During his tenure as Lagos State Governor under President Obasanjo’s administration, he resisted relentless efforts by the PDP to oust him. While they succeeded in five other states, Tinubu completed his full tenure.” Ulasi urged PDP members to focus on long-term goals and internal party development instead of waiting for election cycles before scrambling for leadership roles. “Without a grassroots-oriented party structure, there’s no way to mobilize voters effectively,” he concluded. ?

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has successfully recovered a black Toyota Land Cruiser SUV—registration number ABC 797—stolen at gunpoint by five armed suspects in the Garki district on the night of April 23, 2025. In a detailed press briefing issued on Friday, Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, revealed that the car was forcefully taken from a resident, Alhaji Nasiru Aminu, at about 8:35 PM. The perpetrators, all clad in black attire, reportedly discharged multiple gunshots into the air to disperse bystanders before fleeing the scene with the stolen vehicle. Following a swift distress alert, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) immediately contacted the Command’s Control Room. A coordinated response was launched, mobilizing the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) and activating stop-and-search checkpoints across major routes in the FCT. Led by Maitama Division’s CSP Altine Daniel in collaboration with the Police Technical Intelligence Unit (TIU), a real-time tracking operation commenced. The intelligence-led efforts culminated in a rapid interception move, prompting the suspects to abandon the vehicle beneath Banex Bridge. They fled in a backup escape vehicle waiting nearby. Remarkably, the stolen SUV was retrieved intact within 30 minutes—around 9:00 PM—after it was taken. A search of the car uncovered 9mm ammunition, and the rightful owner has been identified and is in the process of reclaiming the vehicle through official procedures. Preliminary findings suggest that the culprits belong to a well-known criminal syndicate involved in car theft and armed robbery incidents around the Wuse and Maitama zones. The gang has long been under surveillance by law enforcement agencies, and a manhunt is underway to arrest the remaining fugitives. Commending the successful operation, FCT Police Commissioner CP Ajao S. Adewale praised the officers’ swift and tactical response. He also urged residents to install digital vehicle tracking systems, which are instrumental in both crime deterrence and quick asset recovery.Learn more about Nigeria Police Force crime-fighting strategies on the official Nigeria Police website.

Manchester United are reportedly on the verge of completing the transfer of Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers, according to a report from Globo. Cunha, who has been a standout performer for Wolves this season, is expected to become Manchester United’s first signing of the summer transfer window. Sources close to the negotiations reveal that talks have reached the final phase, with the two clubs making “substantial progress” in recent days. Although Cunha was linked with a move away from Molineux during the January window, he opted to sign a contract extension at the time. However, Manchester United have continued to monitor him closely and are now reportedly ready to pay a transfer fee of £62.5 million to secure his services. The 25-year-old has delivered an impressive campaign despite Wolves’ inconsistent form. He has scored 14 goals and contributed 4 assists in the Premier League, proving to be one of the key attacking threats in the league this season. His contributions have played a significant role in helping Wolves maintain their Premier League status.

Amorim has publicly praised Cunha for his positional flexibility and his consistent goal-scoring abilities, making him a valuable asset for the Red Devils’ future plans. If finalized, this transfer would not only reinforce Manchester United’s attack but also mark a strong statement of intent ahead of the new season.
