    Niger Delta: Group Urges Probe of Multinationals Over Host Communities

    Niger Delta: Group Urges Probe of Multinationals Over Host Communities

    President Bola Tinubu is set to appoint the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, as coordinator of the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign structure in Rivers State and the FCT ahead of the 2027 general election. According to ThisDay, the former Rivers State governor will keep his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) despite the arrangement. Sources told the newspaper that the plan is meant to tap into Wike's political network without formally placing him within the APC hierarchy, a party he has repeatedly said he does not belong to. The move comes amid growing disagreement between the minister and several APC governors over how support for Tinubu's re-election should be organised. Wike has maintained that he does not need APC membership or a position in the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) to work for the president's second term. The proposed role would give him a defined campaign responsibility in two territories where he has repeatedly claimed considerable influence. The sources said the campaign would not run on a single chain of command. Former Zamfara State Governor, Abdulaziz Yari, is expected to serve as Director General of the PCC, but Senate President Godswill Akpabio and his deputy, Jibrin Barau, are not expected to report to him. Instead of a conventional structure in which senior officials answer to the director general, the framework would give some of the party's most influential figures separate spheres of responsibility. A source said the same reasoning underlies Wike's proposed role, as Tinubu wants to prevent clashes among the top drivers of his campaign. Wike recently accused some APC governors of working against him, singling out Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma and Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq. That followed the rejection of Wike's "rainbow coalition" by APC governors. Reading out the resolutions of the Progressive Governors Forum days ago, its chairman, Uzodimma, said the governors unanimously agreed to have nothing to do with the coalition. According to the source, Tinubu is moving quickly to define Wike's role in order to head off the growing friction. Meanwhile, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, is being tipped for a prominent spokesperson role in the campaign. Keyamo is said to bring extensive campaign communication experience. He was spokesperson and Director of Public Affairs in Tinubu's 2023 presidential campaign, and held a senior communications role in Muhammadu Buhari's 2019 re-election bid. He has also served in government as Minister of State for Labour and Employment under Buhari, before his current appointment as Aviation Minister under Tinubu.

Tinubu Set to Sack Customs DG, NCS Controller-General

Primate Elijah Ayodele, founder and leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has issued a stern warning to the Director-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Dr. Bashir Adewale, and the Controller-General of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), Sylvester Ndidi, over what he described as their imminent removal from office.

In a statement released on Thursday by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, the cleric claimed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has already earmarked both officials for replacement before the end of his current term, urging them to turn to prayer to avert the development.

“The Customs DG, Bashir Adewale, and the Controller-General of the Nigerian Correctional Service need to be very watchful against removal from office. I see their names being penned down for replacement already, except they seek the face of God. They need to pray against a bad record that will see them out of office,” Primate Ayodele stated.

The prophecy comes on the heels of what supporters describe as his accurate prediction of the removal of former Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, which he reportedly foretold just hours before the official announcement was made.

Beyond the two officials, Primate Ayodele also hinted that several serving ministers may not retain their positions should President Tinubu win a second term in office.

Turning his attention to the newly appointed Inspector-General of Police, AIG Tunji Disu, the clergyman acknowledged his good character and intentions but warned of turbulent times ahead. According to Ayodele, the new IGP will face fierce opposition, particularly around the conduct of elections, and should remain alert to plots against him.
