The growing political tension in Nigeria took a fiery turn on Thursday as the opposition coalition led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and ex-Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai responded sharply to jabs from the Presidency over recent high-profile defections from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Reacting to statements made by presidential aides Bayo Onanuga and Tunde Rahman, who had taunted Atiku following the defection of Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, his predecessor Ifeanyi Okowa, and other PDP heavyweights, the opposition coalition declared that the exits were anticipated and would not derail their mission to reclaim democratic integrity in Nigeria.

BREAKING: President Tinubu Meets Suspended Rivers Governor Fubara in London Amid Political Crisis

LONDON, United Kingdom – April 22, 2025 — In a significant development aimed at resolving the deepening political crisis in Nigeria’s oil-rich Rivers State, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu reportedly held a secret meeting in London with suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara last week. The closed-door discussion, according to The Africa Report, took place shortly after the president's brief stop in Paris and could mark a turning point in the long-running feud that has paralyzed governance in the state.

Sources close to the presidency confirmed that the meeting was held at the insistence of Governor Fubara, who has been seeking a political lifeline after his dramatic suspension and the subsequent declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State by President Tinubu in March 2025.

ANOTHER RECALL PLOT AGAINST SENATOR NATASHA: A TEST OF INEC’S INSTITUTIONAL INTEGRITY AND DEMOCRATIC RESPONSIBILITY

April 13, 2025 | Abuja, Nigeria

In a democracy, credibility is not just built through periodic elections—it is upheld by the actions of institutions when they are under pressure. Today, Nigeria’s electoral umpire, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), finds itself at a crossroads once again as a second recall petition against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan gains momentum amidst swirling allegations of forgery, fraud, and political desperation.

According to leaked documents that have begun circulating widely online, a renewed effort to unseat Senator Natasha is allegedly being orchestrated by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello, and the current Governor, Usman Ododo.

Genocide in Plateau: The Heartbreaking Story Behind the Land Grab and the Efforts to Annihilate Natives – Governor Mutfwang Exposes the Truth

April 13, 2025 – Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria

Plateau State has long been a hotspot of persistent violence, with the issue of mass killings and forced displacement continuing to make headlines. However, recent comments by the state’s governor, Caleb Mutfwang, have shed light on a chilling new development — one that suggests these attacks are part of a calculated and deliberate genocide aimed at dispossessing native communities of their land.

Since 2023, over 250 lives have been lost in the state, and thousands of innocent people have been affected. The violence has surged again after a brief period of calm. In recent weeks, several villages in the Bokkos and Bassa local government areas were attacked, resulting in over 50 deaths.

In a major development that could have far-reaching implications for Nigerian politics and governance, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia has issued a definitive order mandating top U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies—including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)—to release all confidential files and records related to a purported federal investigation involving President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the 1990s.

The ruling, handed down late Friday, follows a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed by an American investigative journalist who sought access to documents relating to the Nigerian leader’s activities during his time residing in the United States.
