Wike calls ADC “mafia coalition”, accuses them of seeking to destroy Nigeria

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has described the emerging opposition coalition under the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a group of political “mafias” bent on destabilising Nigeria.

Speaking on Saturday at the 50th anniversary and 35th convocation of the University of Port Harcourt, where he was conferred with an honorary doctorate degree in political science, Wike dismissed the opposition movement as a gathering of disgruntled politicians with no real solutions.

“They have been in government for most of their lives and have nothing to show. Now, instead of helping rebuild a broken system, they want to destroy it,” Wike said.

The former Rivers State governor accused the coalition of seeking political relevance by riding on the frustrations of Nigerians.

He urged citizens to reject their “drumbeats of division and propaganda.”

According to Wike, President Bola Tinubu inherited a deeply battered economy and has taken tough but necessary decisions to revive the country.

“Painful as these decisions may be now, joy is coming,” he said, defending the current administration’s policies.

Only ADC Can Tackle The Challenges In Northern Nigeria – David Mark

Interim national chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), David Mark, has said the North is bleeding, stressing that his party is the only platform that can address the avalanche of challenges bedeviling the region if voted into power.

He spoke at the 3rd expanded meeting of the National Political Consultative Group (North) at the Abuja Continental Hotel, which was attended by ADC members and supporters across the country.

Mark, a former Senate President, while delivering a keynote address on the theme, “Unity, and social cohesion as panacea to the challenges facing Northern Nigeria”, said the North is confronted with deep-seated challenges of insecurity, poverty, ethnic, religious tensions, political fragmentation, social and economic stagnation.

He said, “These challenges did not develop overnight nor will they disappear until we resolve to take deliberate, collective and decisive action. We must first admit that we are the architects of our problems, we must stop the blame game if we truly and genuinely want to find a lasting solution.

“Division has cost us progress, while indifference and inaction have continued to deepen our division. If we are to overcome our present travails, we must return to the principles of justice, equity, mutual respect, and shared purpose that once made Northern Nigeria a beacon of hope, peace, unity and development.

“The time for lamentation is over. The North is bleeding profusely, and we are the only ones who can heal it. Let us commit today to reject hate speech and divisive politics, invest in unifying projects—education, healthcare and infrastructure, hold each other accountable for our actions and inactions and shake hands across the divide and restore our bond of brotherhood.

“If we do these, I have no doubt we will rebuild this region into a powerhouse of not just peace and social cohesion but also of economic progress, human ingenuity and co

A political support group, South East Renewed Hope Agenda (SERHA), has announced the allocation of N200 million towards the purchase of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential nomination form and other campaign logistics for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027.

Belusochukwu Enwere, the national coordinator of SERHA said the group is committed to ensuring the reelection of President Tinubu in 2027.

Speaking in Owerri, Imo State's capital city at the inauguration and empowerment of the Imo State chapter of the group, Enwere said SERHA will ensure grassroots mobilisation for Tinubu across the SouthEast region.

Highlighting some of the Tinubu administration's initiatives in the region, he acknowledged the contributions of iconic leaders from Imo State, including the late Chief Sam Mbakwe and Chief Emmanuel wuanyanwu, and praised Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, for his developmental strides under the 3R Agenda.

Enwere revealed that the group would commence a comprehensive tour of all 95 local government areas and 2,344 wards across the five South-East states starting in August, to galvanise grassroots support for Tinubu's re-election.

"This is the turn of Southern Nigeria to complete our eight years. The people of the South-East will not back down to ensure Tinubu's victory in 2027," he said.

The inauguration drew political stakeholders, community leaders, and supporters from across the region, reinforcing the growing momentum behind President Tinubu's 2027 re-election campaign in the South-East.

The event, which marked the final leg of the SERHA South-East tour, featured the distribution of empowerment tools such as motorcycles, mini buses, sewing machines, hairdressing kits, and cash support to residents as part of efforts to promote self-reliance.
