The FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has accused Honourable Ikenga Ugochinyere, a member of the House of Representatives, of soliciting money and filing numerous lawsuits—over 33 suits—against the 27 lawmakers led by Speaker Martins Amaewhule of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

Wike asserted that Ugochinyere is driven by personal gain and aims to benefit from the political turmoil in Rivers State. He alleged that Ugochinyere’s intention was to leverage the African Democratic Party to push for a new State House of Assembly election in Rivers State, but they were already aware of his plans before he arrived in Abuja.
In an interview with TVC, Wike criticized Ugochinyere’s public statements, accusing him of discussing legal matters he is unfamiliar with and meddling in Rivers State politics. He noted that Ugochinyere’s activities include collecting money and filing a multitude of charges against the lawmakers, which he claimed to be part of his ongoing strategy.

In his own words, he remarked, “I listen to this man called Ikenga Ugochinyere everyday on different TV station. He goes about everyday and he talks about a law that he doesn’t know anything about. Everyday he speaks about Rivers State politics and I said nobody should answer him because I know him and I know his modus operandi.

He came to Abuja here using African Democratic Party to sue that INEC should conduct another State House of Assembly election in Rivers State. And he thought we wouldn’t know but before he got there, we were already waiting for him.

He goes about collecting money and filing charges against the 27 lawmakers. He has filed over 33 suits and he has not stopped yet.”

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Jesutega Onokpasa says President Bola Tinubu has failed woefully based on the performance of his administration.

Onokpasa stated this in an interview with Arise Television on Sunday, warning that the president may end up being a one-term president if he did not improve in his performance.

Onokpasa also expressed school why Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State, who he referred to as his cousin, defected to the APC.

According to him, the governor’s defection to the ruling party does not add any value to the APC or the state.

The APC chieftain reiterated that the ruling party should not focus on the defection of opposition politicians into its fold but on good governance.

Onokpasa added that the defections of opposition leaders to the APC negate the principles of democracy.

“It is not a question of people defecting to our party. It is a question of are we ruling well? In that sense, we failed woefully.

“President Bola Tinubu has failed woefully to rule well, provide food for Nigerians, and give succour in these hard times.

“Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, who recently defected to our party, is actually my cousin. I don’t have the slightest idea why he defected to our party. He did not inform me. I wish him well,” he said.

A former National Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Salihu Lukman, has cautioned Nigerians against expecting anything good from President Bola Tinubu’s leadership.

Lukman warned that Tinubu can’t achieve anything significant before May 2027.

He disclosed this while featuring as a guest on the Sunday edition of Channels TV’s Inside Sources with Laolu Akanda.

Lukman said Tinubu is not the kind of progressive leader he once believed him to be.

He maintained that Tinubu is governing Nigeria differently from how he ruled Lagos State between 1999 and 2007.

According to Lukman: “For you to even expect something very wonderful to happen before May 2027, I will say you are a dreamer, I will wish you luck in your dream, but if it happens, it will be a pleasant surprise.

“For me, I have reached the conclusion that I don’t think anything good is going to come out and which is why we have to start organising.

“I have said so, this country can be fixed in our lifetime, and I pray to God to give us the strength and courage to engage our leaders.”

He pointed out that the failure of the APC has made it necessary for the coalition currently being formed to be built on a very strong foundation.

“If having gone through the APC and failed, we now organise another coalition that will become business as usual, which is why this initial negotiation we are really engaging ourselves.

“So, we really have to, we owe it to Nigerians, and I am telling Nigerians that look, it is possible to fix this country in our lifetime,” he said.

Tompolo, who spoke on Arise Television amid Atiku Abubakar’s campaign for coalition against Tinubu ahead of the 2027 election, said he doesn’t want anybody from the North to cause problem.

The Niger Delta leader also promised to travel to all states in the North to appeal to the people of the region to support Tinubu’s reelection in 2027.

Tompolo said, “We will do our part, even go out of our boundary to the northern part of Nigeria to talk to our brothers so that he will get his second tenure.

“Tinubu is a good person; he has the experience to bring this country to a higher level.

“I am travelling across all the northern states to appeal to them. Buhari spent eight years now. So, we don’t want anybody to cause any problem.

“Let Tinubu have his eight years too and go then we will look for another person. There is no need for anybody to say we have a monopoly of power.”

Meanwhile, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Uche Nwosu, recently insisted that the presidency cannot return to the North in 2027 because former President Buhari completed eight years in office.

According to Nwosu, the southern part of the country should be allowed to complete its eight-year tenure, just like the North did under Buhari.
