El-Rufai Challenges Tinubu’s Administration Nasir El-Rufai, former governor of Kaduna State and a senior figure within the Social Democratic Party (SDP), has openly criticized the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. In an interview conducted by Deutsche Welle Hausa, El-Rufai claimed that Nigeria has been on a downward spiral since Tinubu assumed office in 2023. This statement comes amidst growing dissatisfaction from citizens regarding security concerns, economic hardship, and claims of nepotism in federal appointments. El-Rufai’s Key Claims Against Tinubu’s Government Speaking from Katsina, El-Rufai lamented that Nigeria has deteriorated in major areas, including: Increased Insecurity He alleged that cases of violence, terrorism, and banditry have worsened since Tinubu’s swearing-in. The once marginal improvements made under previous governments have reportedly eroded. Economic Decline The former governor criticized Tinubu’s economic policies, asserting that they have led to a significant drop in living standards. According to him, many well-to-do Nigerians are now struggling to survive. Learn more about how fuel subsidy removal impacts Nigeria’s economy. Favoritism in Appointments El-Rufai also accused the president of prioritizing tribal and personal relationships over national unity in his selection of public officials. He claimed that appointments are largely given to individuals from the president’s ethnic group or close circle. “You may deny it, but Nigerians see it clearly. If your name isn’t recognizable or you’re from the ‘wrong’ region, you’re unlikely to be appointed,” El-Rufai said. Context: El-Rufai’s Fallout With APC El-Rufai, once a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), appears to have distanced himself from the party’s leadership and direction. His current role in the SDP highlights a growing divide within Nigeria’s political elite. This is not the first time El-Rufai has spoken critically of the APC. In the past, he has voiced concerns over the party’s deviation from its founding vision. Read more on APC’s founding goals on the Premium Times Nigeria. Conclusion: A Call for Reflection and Reform El-Rufai’s comments reflect widespread public sentiment in Nigeria—a deepening frustration over rising living costs, insecurity, and perceived injustice.

In a politically charged moment that has sparked reactions nationwide, Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State — a sitting governor under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) — openly declared his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, affirming that the President will complete his full eight-year tenure in Aso Rock. A Strong Endorsement from a PDP Governor Governor Eno made this bold statement during the flag-off ceremony of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project’s Akwa Ibom section on Tuesday, where he commended President Tinubu’s commitment to national development. “Let me end by assuring that our President, our people-loving President, will complete eight years because we are going to stand by him,” Eno said during the event. Praise for Tinubu’s Leadership and Promises Eno described Tinubu as a “people-loving President” and a promise keeper, referencing the President’s pledge to ensure the completion of the Lagos-Calabar project and avoid repeating the failed history of the East-West Road, a long-stalled infrastructure effort in the Niger Delta. “President Tinubu is a father and a promise keeper. He will not allow the Lagos-Calabar Highway to become another East-West Road,” Eno emphasized. Commitment to Cooperate with the APC-led Government Despite being a PDP governor, Eno expressed his full cooperation with Tinubu’s administration. He also prayed for the President’s good health and strength to carry out the ongoing infrastructural reforms. This statement has stirred discussions, especially within the opposition ranks, about internal support for Tinubu from unlikely quarters. Dele Momodu Claims PDP Governors May Be Aligning with Tinubu Veteran journalist and PDP chieftain, Dele Momodu, has raised concerns about the loyalty of the PDP Governors Forum. Speaking recently, Momodu suggested that their refusal to back a new opposition coalition launched by former PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, indicates a possible collaboration with Tinubu for the 2027 general elections. Atiku had earlier unveiled a new opposition alliance, aiming to form a stronger front against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). However, the PDP Governors Forum, following a recent meeting in Ibadan, announced that it would not participate in the coalition efforts. Read more about Atiku’s opposition coalition here What This Means for Nigeria’s 2027 Political Landscape This development signifies a shift in Nigeria’s political dynamics. While opposition leaders like Atiku push for consolidation against the ruling party, some PDP governors appear to lean toward continued collaboration with Tinubu. Governor Umo Eno’s declaration in support of Tinubu’s full two-term presidency is a major political statement, especially coming from a PDP governor. As Nigeria heads toward the 2027 elections, the unfolding alliances and unexpected endorsements will continue to shape the nation’s political future.

In a bold political statement stirring Nigeria’s political landscape, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has proclaimed that the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) is now inactive and nearing its demise. This declaration came with an added twist—Ganduje claims that Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the NNPP’s 2023 presidential candidate, is plotting a return to the APC ahead of the 2027 general elections. This article explores the context, reactions, and implications of this major political update. Ganduje: “NNPP Is Dead and Ready for Burial” While addressing members of the Tinubu Support Group (TSG) at the APC national secretariat in Abuja, Ganduje didn’t mince words. “The NNPP is dead. What remains is to bury it. The coffin has already been constructed; the grave is being dug. And its so-called national leader, Kwankwaso, wants to return home to the APC,” Ganduje stated. He stressed that the ruling party was open to receiving Kwankwaso back, describing the APC as his political home. Kwankwaso Denies Defection Claims Contrary to Ganduje’s assertion, Kwankwaso and the NNPP leadership have repeatedly dismissed rumors of defection. During the NNPP National Executive Council meeting in Abuja, Kwankwaso fired back, saying: “It is Ganduje who will eventually join me in NNPP, not the other way around.” This response highlights the tension and uncertainty surrounding political alignments ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections. NNPP’s Official Stand on Political Alignments In a recent interview with LMSINT MEDIA, Ladipo Johnson, the National Publicity Secretary of the NNPP in Kano State, clarified the party’s position. “While we are open to dialogue and alignment discussions, there is no agreement or formal process currently on the table,” Johnson explained. This suggests that though political alliances may be explored, no official steps have been taken by Kwankwaso or the NNPP leadership to return to the APC. What This Means for the 2027 Political Race The back-and-forth between Ganduje and Kwankwaso signals an early start to the 2027 political chess game in Nigeria. With both figures holding strong influence in Kano and the North-West region, their next moves could reshape political alliances and voter sentiment nationwide. Related Posts As Nigeria inches toward the 2027 elections, political maneuvering has already begun. While Ganduje confidently declares the NNPP’s end and Kwankwaso’s return to APC, opposing narratives continue to emerge from the NNPP.

Makinde: “It Will Be Nigerians vs APC in 2027” Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has boldly declared that the upcoming 2027 Nigerian presidential election will not be a typical contest between the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC). Instead, he insists it will be “Nigerians versus the APC”, highlighting a significant shift in the political climate. Makinde shared these views during a live interview on Politics Today, aired by Channels Television. “The 2027 election won’t be PDP versus APC; it would be Nigerians versus APC. Mark my word on that,” he stated firmly. Criticism of APC: Economy and Security Under Fire Governor Makinde did not hold back in his criticism of the current administration under President Bola Tinubu. He pointed to Nigeria’s worsening economy and escalating insecurity as clear signs of failure by the APC-led government. He described the upcoming 2027 election as a moment of reckoning for the APC and its leadership. “The people will speak through the ballot. The hardships they are facing can’t be ignored,” Makinde emphasized. Lessons From 2023: PDP’s Strategic Missteps Reflecting on the 2023 general election, Makinde highlighted critical errors within the PDP. He stated that the party shot itself in the foot by giving all major campaign leadership roles to Northern leaders, thereby alienating Southern stakeholders. PDP Leadership Breakdown in 2023: Makinde lamented the absence of regional balance, asserting that the lack of Southern representation weakened the party’s national appeal. “When you assign all key positions to one region, how do you expect national cohesion?” he questioned. What Could’ve Been: Wike as Running Mate? Governor Makinde also revealed that the PDP ticket would have been stronger if former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike had been chosen as Atiku’s running mate. He implied that the exclusion of Wike and other influential Southern figures cost the PDP dearly in 2023.

He urged Nigerians to see beyond party affiliations and evaluate leadership based on performance, policy direction, and commitment to national development. Final Thoughts Governor Seyi Makinde’s bold stance offers a clear signal of a changing political narrative in Nigeria.

Blog Content (Paraphrased and Optimized): LMSINT MEDIA reports that former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a fresh warning to Harvard University, stating he may seek to remove its tax-exempt status following the school’s refusal to comply with federal demands regarding campus demonstrations and academic changes. On Tuesday, Trump posted on social media criticizing Harvard’s stance, saying the institution promotes “ideological and terrorist-supporting sickness.” This comment came after the university dismissed government calls to reform its academic programming or risk losing access to federal grants—a move Harvard labeled as unlawful. “Harvard needs to apologize for the antisemitism happening on its campus,” said Karoline Leavitt, White House Press Secretary. Background: Trump’s Clash with Universities The Trump administration has consistently voiced concerns over how elite universities such as Columbia and Harvard have handled the pro-Palestinian student protest wave. These demonstrations intensified after the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel and Israel’s subsequent military actions in Gaza. Trump described the protests as anti-American and antisemitic, accusing universities of spreading Marxist and radical left ideologies. He vowed to terminate federal grants and contracts to institutions that refuse to align with his administration’s position on these matters. Legal Context: Can Trump Revoke Harvard’s Tax-Exempt Status? Under the U.S. Tax Code, educational institutions like Harvard are generally exempt from federal income tax because they are classified as public-serving entities. While Trump made the threat, he did not specify how he intends to implement the move legally. According to IRS guidelines, revoking a university’s tax-exempt status would require substantial legal procedures and proof that the institution no longer serves an educational purpose. Related: Understanding Title VI of the Civil Rights Act Leavitt further accused Harvard and similar institutions of breaching Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which forbids discrimination in programs receiving federal funding based on race or national origin. However, any enforcement actions such as funding termination require detailed investigations, formal hearings, and notification to Congress—none of which have been initiated at this point for Harvard or Columbia.

A rising political storm has erupted as the Arewa Coalition of Youths has strongly criticized presidential media aide, Bayo Onanuga, for dismissing early campaign support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2027 reelection. The group demands Onanuga’s immediate removal, accusing him of political insensitivity and undermining democratic engagement. According to a statement issued by the group’s Director General, Abubakar Aliyu Galadiman Takai, Onanuga’s remarks reflect a backward political stance that fails to appreciate the growing grassroots enthusiasm for President Tinubu’s continued leadership. “Rather than appreciating the unwavering commitment of Tinubu’s supporters nationwide,” Takai noted, “Mr. Onanuga chose to issue a demotivating statement that restricts democratic enthusiasm and mobilization.” Calls for a Media Adviser With Political Foresight The group emphasized that Onanuga’s strict interpretation of electoral regulations fails to distinguish between illegal political campaigning and genuine public expression of support. According to Takai, political visibility and engagement by citizens should be celebrated, not discouraged. “The support for President Tinubu is natural, nationwide, and powerful. It cannot be shut down by bureaucratic interpretations of the law,” he declared. He added that Nigeria needs a media adviser who aligns with the energy of the grassroots and can strategically leverage public support in favor of national progress. “Onanuga should be replaced with someone more in tune with the political reality and the aspirations of the people,” Takai said. Encouraging Supporters to Stay Focused The statement concluded with a strong message to President Tinubu’s supporters, urging them not to be disheartened. “Your passion is the fuel for the 2027 vision. Keep spreading the message, door to door, street to street, billboard to billboard. Our support for Tinubu remains unwavering,” he added.
