Atiku: There's A Hand Written Agreement In the North That We Will Allow The South to Do Two Terms -Senator Ali Modu Sheriff
ODJ_BlogJul 28, 2025 10:58 PM

Former Borno State Governor, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, has argued that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar may be out of touch with the current political realities in Northern Nigeria. He maintained that Atiku no longer holds the influence to dictate political direction in places like Borno and Bauchi, where strong PDP structures remain intact. Sheriff stressed that politics must be understood through the lens of people and reality—not speculation or assumptions.

He also referenced an understanding within the North to allow the South to complete its two presidential terms following President Buhari’s eight-year tenure. For him, national unity and peaceful coexistence require that the South retain the presidency, regardless of whether President Tinubu seeks reelection. While acknowledging Atiku’s past contributions and leadership, Sheriff insisted that this moment calls for a more grounded and realistic reading of the political atmosphere.

He said in a recent interview with Channels TV, "Atiku Abubakar cannot come to Borno and tell us what to do. Neither can he go to Bauchi too, because Bala is still an active member of the PDP. And Bala and his members are intact. So you see, we are talking politics. We are talking about human beings. It's not imagination. You can't imagine politics. You have to look at reality. If I were him, I would not run. There is a handwritten agreement in northern Nigeria that we will allow the South to do two terms because Buhari just finished eight years.

Tinubu overfeeding Nigerians with wrong statistics – Peter Obi

Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s handling of the economy, accusing him of misrepresenting data to mask the country’s deteriorating economic realities.

Obi, in a statement posted on Monday via X, referenced a comment made by Tinubu during the 2022 presidential campaign in Delta State, where the then All Progressives Congress flagbearer reportedly mocked his (Obi’s) emphasis on data and statistics.

“In November 2022, while campaigning in Delta State, the then APC Presidential Candidate, Bola Tinubu, now the President, berated the other Presidential Candidate, he was ashamed to call his name, saying ‘Na statistics we go chop? All I want is to put food on the table of Nigerians,’” Obi recalled.

“Now two years into his 4-year tenure, Nigeria is classified as one of the hungriest nations in the world with millions of Nigerians not knowing where their next meal will come from,” he said.
Nigerians never give up
Obi accused the Tinubu administration of using “wrong statistics” to paint a false picture of economic progress.

“President Tinubu is now overfeeding Nigerians with wrong Statistics from wrong unemployment figures, wrong inflation figures, and now GDP debasing, all to put a positive spin on our deteriorating economic and household conditions,” he stated.

Reiterating his long-held stance on governance, Obi said, “Governance is not a rock science, it’s not a gamble. Like I have always reiterated, it requires sincerity of purpose, character, competence, capacity and compassion.”

Tinubu’s govt mortgaging our children’s future with reckless borrowing – Peter Obi

Peter Obi, former Anambra governor and 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), has raised alarm over Nigeria’s growing debt profile, warning that the government is mortgaging the future of unborn generations through unsustainable and unaccountable borrowing.

In a statement issued on Monday, Obi described as worrisome the Senate’s recent approval of additional external loans totalling $21 billion, €2.2 billion, and ¥15 billion for the 2025–2026 fiscal period.

He noted that the upper legislative chamber also approved a ₦750.98 billion domestic bond issuance and a €65 million grant.

Obi said that as of the first quarter of 2025, Nigeria’s total public debt stood at ₦149.39 trillion, and with the new approvals amounting to about ₦37.2 trillion, the debt burden has risen to around ₦187 trillion.

He warned that Nigeria’s total debt may exceed ₦200 trillion by the end of 2025.

His words: “As our GDP before rebasing was about ₦269.2 trillion (about $180 billion), the government has borrowed the equivalent of nearly 70% of our previous GDP.

“Even after the rebasing, which pushed our GDP to about ₦372.8 trillion (about $243.7 billion), the government would have borrowed about 50.16% of the new GDP — the highest debt-to-GDP ratio in our history as a nation.”

The LP chieftain said the country is accumulating debt at an exponential rate “with little or nothing to show for it” in key sectors like education, healthcare, electricity, and security.

He stated: “We still rank low in all major human development indicators. While education is underfunded and standard in continuous decline, healthcare remains inaccessible to millions of Nigerians, particularly the poor.

“Security of lives and property has deteriorated with over 10,217 people killed and 672 villages sacked between May 29, 2023 and May 29, 2025, even though security spending has significantly increased from ₦2.98

Peter Obi Cannot Defeat Atiku In Any Primary—He Should Go Back And Build His Labour Party—Shehu Sani.

Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has dismissed the chances of both Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso emerging as leaders within any opposition coalition that includes the People's Democratic Party (PDP). He argued that the coalition will inevitably rally behind Atiku Abubakar, whom he described as politically unbeatable in any primary contest. He stated Obi’s involvement in coalition talks amounts to a miscalculation.

He further stated that Peter Obi would be better served by returning to the Labour Party and consolidating his growing grassroots support among young Nigerians. He described Obi’s current political maneuvering as a distraction that risks weakening his base. As for Kwankwaso, Sani was unequivocal—there is little to no pathway for him to lead the coalition, especially with Atiku already positioned as its dominant figure.

He said in an interview with TVC, "I don’t think he [Kwankwaso] has a base in coalition because the coalition will certainly present Atiku. There is no way anybody can defeat Atiku in any primary election. So Peter Obi in the coalition is just wasting his time. He better go back to his Labour Party and build. He cannot be chasing two rabbits at the same time. His own base is organic with the younger people from the country. And he should go there and build his base. He cannot defeat Atiku in a primary election and Kwankwaso cannot think of coming to the coalition also to lead. It is virtually going to be very difficult."

Nurses to begin 7-day warning strike over poor pay, staff shortages

Healthcare services across Nigeria are set to face severe disruptions as nurses under the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives, Federal Health Institutions (NANNM-FHI), plan to begin a seven-day nationwide warning strike on Wednesday.

The planned strike will affect 74 federal hospitals and other public health facilities across the country. It follows the expiration of a 15-day ultimatum issued to the Federal Government on July 14, 2025, demanding urgent attention to longstanding issues affecting the nursing profession.

Despite the warning, the union said the government has not initiated any negotiations or taken concrete steps to prevent the industrial action.

National Chairman of NANNM-FHI, Morakinyo Rilwan, said the decision to withdraw services was driven by years of neglect and unmet demands by the government.

Key among the issues raised are poor remuneration, with nurses seeking a dedicated salary structure, improved shift allowances, and a review of uniform allowances that have remained stagnant for over two decades. The current allowance, the union noted, is no longer sufficient to meet the cost of standard nursing uniforms.

The strike, once underway, is expected to affect services at all levels of public healthcare, including teaching hospitals, federal medical centres, specialist hospitals, and primary healthcare centres. Emergency services will also be suspended during the strike period.

In addition to financial concerns, the union is demanding the mass recruitment of nurses, the establishment of a dedicated department for nursing within the Federal Ministry of Health, the full implementation of a defined scheme of service, and the reconstitution of the Nursing and Midwifery Council Board, which has remained dissolved for over four years.
