Former member of the House of Representatives, Muhammad Gudaji Kazaure, has voiced his frustration over the lack of recognition for his anti-corruption efforts, lamenting that despite exposing financial misconduct, authorities have failed to take action.

In a viral video following his visit to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Kazaure emphasized the need for political unity in addressing Nigeria’s mounting challenges. He disclosed that prior to meeting Atiku, political elders gathered to deliberate on national issues, stressing that many politicians had abandoned the country’s development agenda.

“We gathered before visiting him because we believe all politicians must come together to find a lasting solution,” he stated.

Kazaure, who representedKazaure/Roni/Gwiwa/Yankwashi Constituency of Jigawa State in the 9th National Assembly, expressed disappointment over the government’s silence on his corruption allegations.

“We have spoken out about corruption. We have revealed cases, but nothing has happened. Nobody has invited me, nobody has called me, and nobody even knows if I exist,” he lamented.

Despite his grievances, Kazaure reiterated his commitment to working with patriotic politicians across party lines.

“We don’t care which party anyone belongs to. Wherever our elders direct us, we are ready to follow,” he affirmed.

He also commended Atiku for his leadership, describing him as a father figure who prioritizes the welfare of Nigerians.

Calling on political leaders to unite in addressing the country’s challenges, Kazaure declared, “This is a journey for all our political elders. Nigeria comes first, second, and third. We are ready to save this country in any way possible.”

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, says he will not reveal details of the recent truce brokered between him and suspended Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.

The minister however declared that peace has returned to Rivers State.

Wike made this declaration on Thursday during a media chat at his residence in Abuja. He said rather than disclose details of the peace deal, he would instead allow people to speculate.

“I will allow you to speculate, it’s not my business. All I know is that peace has come. If you are not satisfied with that, there is nothing we can do. What is important is that peace has returned, whatever thing anybody says is not my business,” he said.

Ekwutosblog recalls that President Bola Tinubu, last month, hosted a conciliatory meeting between Wike, Fubara and the suspended members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, signaling a return to peace in the state.

The President suspended Fubara, his deputy, Ngozi Odu, and members of the Rivers Assembly in March 2025, after a heated and long-drawn political impasse in the oil-producing state.

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has described Dele Momodu as a ‘boy’, saying he does not even know his name.

Wike spoke on Thursday during a media chat with some select media houses.

Wike said that he does not remember the name of Dele Momodu, one of the most popular journalists in the country.

Wike’s comment about Momodu may not be unconnected to the journalist’s criticism of his political antics.

Momodu, the publisher of Ovation International Magazine, recently claimed that Wike cannot defect to the All Progressives Congress, APC, because he will lose his authority.

In what appears as a response to the claim, Wike said, “There is this boy, they say he is a journalist. What’s his name? He is big.”

When a journalist said “Dele Momodu”.

Wike added, “Okay, I don’t remember all these names. He was never my friend. He ran for president, but he didn’t get one vote.”

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has slammed ex-Sokoto governor, Aminu Tambuwal, over his role in the opposition coalition.

Leaders of the coalition had on many occasions criticised the President Bola Tinubu administration, accusing it of being insensitive to the plight of Nigerians, many of whom have been further impoverished by some of the policies of the APC government.

However, Wike and other members of the President’s camp believe that enough is being done to take Nigerians out of the current economic challenges.

Addressing the media on Thursday, Wike slammed the coalition’s leaders for saying that Nigerians are angry with President Bola Tinubu’s government.

Tambuwal and Sirika were among members of the coalition Wike specifically mentioned, accusing them of spending several years in government without touching the lives of ordinary Nigerians.

“Tambuwal, you were the Speaker for four years; what did you do to prevent Nigerians from being angry? You were the governor of Sokoto State for eight years; the people of Sokoto were happy, yet they refused to elect the person you endorsed.

“I saw Hadi Sirika in the coalition. They say Nigerians are angry and want to rescue Nigeria, so I’m asking a simple question: What happened to Air Nigeria? When Amaechi was minister, we took a heavy loan. Things were well with Nigeria then,” Wike said.
