PDP Will Expel Wike At Appropriate Time – Bwala

Former Spokesperson for the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Council in the 2023 poll, Daniel Bwala, has said that the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, will be expelled from the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) at the appropriate time.

Bwala stated this on Channels Television, a day after Wike dared PDP leadership to suspend or expel him from the party for supporting President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and now working in his cabinet as Minister.

According to the Borno State born politician, PDP hardly reacts to whatever Wike says because he loves drama.

Bwala said though Wike has the capacity to develop the FCT, he is a “glorified commissioner” who should not arrogate the power of a state governor to himself.

On the threat by Wike to pull down illegal structures in the FCT, Bwala he said many government facilities are also built illegally in the nation’s capital.

Four Ex-Presidential Candidates Visit Ganduje, Beg For Appointments

The Presidential candidates of some opposition parties in the February 25 poll have visited the National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, at the party’s Secretariat in Abuja.

They said the visit was to seek inclusion in the administration of President Bola Tinubu, and begged Ganduje to pave the way for their appointments in the current government.

It would be recalled that Ganduje recently said that the APC was in talks with some opposition parties and would soon collapse their structures into the ruling party.

Those who visited were former presidential candidates of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), Action Democratic Party (ADP), National Rescue Movement (NRM), and Action Peoples Party (APP).

NRM’s Felix Osakwe, who spoke on behalf of the Forum of Concerned Presidential Candidates, said they are for the peace and development of Nigeria.

He said they did not challenge President Tinubu’s victory at the Election Tribunal because of their desire for peace, saying the President should be told that not all the presidential candidates are against his victory at the polls.

Responding, Ganduje appreciated them and promised to convey their views to President Tinubu.

Federal Government To Close Murtala Mohammed International Airport From October 1

From October 1, 2023, all international airlines operating from the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos are expected to move from the old international terminal building, which will be shut down for repairs, to the new terminal building.

The Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo (SAN), said this during a tour of aviation facilities at the Lagos airport, just as he also promised reforms in the aviation sector.

According to him, all arrangements under his predecessor, Hadi Sirika, including the planned Nigeria Air, have been put on hold, to enable proper audit of contracts.

In June, veteran aviator, Girma Wake, resigned as Chairman of Ethiopian Airlines amidst controversy surrounding the establishment of Nigeria’s national carrier, Nigeria Air.

Earlier, the Interim Managing Director of Nigeria Air, Captain Dapo Olumide, said the aircraft used to unveil the country’s national career was a legitimate chartered flight from Ethiopian Airlines.

Nigeria’s Senate and House of Representatives Committees on Aviation had both labeled the launch of the Nigeria Air as a fraud.

Human Rights Lawyer, Femi Falana, Warns Nigerian Leaders Against Provoking Citizens Into Revolt

Human Rights lawyer, Femi Falana, has said that the high level of poverty in Africa is responsible for the wave of coups in the continent.

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria stated this at a Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) national symposium held in Abuja, under the theme: “Nigerian Economy and the Crisis of Survival, Robbing the Poor to Pay the Rich”.

Falana stressed that despite the poverty in the country, the National Assembly allocated billions to itself.

He subsequently cautioned Nigerian governments against taking the citizens for granted.

His comment comes on the heels of recent coups in Africa. The latest in Gabon where soldiers seized power, ending decades of the Bongo dynasty’s reign.

In his own remarks at the event, NLC President, Joe Ajaero, spoke on the unworkability of government measures to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal on Nigerians.
