  The acting Chairman of the Lagos State Peoples Democratic Party, Kamaldeen Olorunoje, has accused a former National Deputy Chairman of the party, Bode George, of contributing to the party’s defeat. Mr Olorunoje, who emerged acting chairman of the party after the suspension of the substantive chairman, Capt. Tunji Shelle, said this during a press conference in Lagos on Thursday. While reacting to the defection of several Lagos PDP chieftains to the All Progressives Congress, Olorunoje said, “Chief Babatunde Olorogun-Etti left, Dr. Yomi Finnih left, Chief Olorunfunmi Basorun.

If as a leader you are losing people in your local government, it calls for questioning and Olorogun-Etti was in Chief George’s caucus. “For Lagos State, his leadership has not yielded any fruit. I respect him a lot but a lot needs to be said. He must...

  The Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) has said that despite the National Assembly’s disagreement over the downward review of salaries and allowances of political office holders, nothing would deter it from its mandate.

  Former military head of state General Abdulsalam Abubakar and members of the National Peace Committee for the 2015 elections were rattled by the stubborn posture and utterance of President Muhammadu Buhari during a meeting with him inside Aso Rock.

According to Sahara Reporters, today’s meeting was a stepped up version of previous failed attempts to sway Buhari from his determination to probe acts of corruption by officials of Jonathan’s administration. During Buhari’s US visit, American officials handed him dossiers that detailed stealing perpetrated by key officials of the Jonathan administration. Members of Buhari’s del...

  Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, on Wednesday, dismissed the claims that his administration was attacking his former boss and immediate past governor of the state, Rotimi Amaechi, in order to deprive him (Amaechi) of a ministerial appointment by President Muhammadu Buhari.

He claimed that a situation where nothing was left in the state’s treasury on his assumption of office as governor was annoying, worrisome and unacceptable. Wike, who spoke through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Opunabo Inko-Taria, told newsmen in Port Harcourt that it was illogical for anybody to claim that his complaint about corruption in the past administration had any link with Amaechi likelihood of getting a federal appointment. “So, what is he (Ameachi) going to do to him (...
