Bashir Ahmad, a former presidential media aide, has warned the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, against bringing disrupting the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
Ahmad has told Wike he cannot the “spirit” of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is not needed within the APC.
He stated this in reaction to the war of words between the FCT Minister and APC’s national secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru.
“The National Secretary of the APC, Senator Ajibola Basiru has reminded Nyesom Wike that his support for President Bola Tinubu, does not automatically make him a member of the APC,” Ahmad wrote on X.
“Millions of non-APC Nigerians also support Mr. President and his own is no different.
“His attempt to destabilise the Party in Rivers State will not be tolerated and he cannot bring the spirit of PDP into the APC.”
Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has described as a national shame the terrorists’ attack on Niger community that claimed the lives of 30 people and several others abducted.
In a post on his verified X handle on Sunday, Obi said it is time to end this cycle of violence and insecurity in the country.
According to him, what Nigerians urgently need is an all-hands-on-deck approach; a coordinated, capable, and decisive effort to end the menace of insecurity that has become a daily occurrence.
“It is deeply worrisome and unacceptable that, as we usher in a new year, the cycle of senseless killings and insecurity continues unchecked across our nation. Today, in Niger State, we once again witnessed the horrific loss of over 40 lives in a brutal terrorist attack at the Kasuwan-Daji Market in the Domo community of Borgu Local Government Area.
“Just yesterday, armed bandits struck Bong village in Doemak District of Plateau State, leaving multiple people dead. Two days ago, several communities in Shanono Local Government Area of Kano State were attacked by bandits. On New Year’s Day in Katsina State, the Unguwar Naino community was also attacked, with several lives lost and many others injured.
