Bashir Ahmad, ex-media aide to former president, Muhammadu Buhari has boasted that two governors will decamp to the All Progressives Congress, APC in a matter of days.

He stated this in a post on his X page on Tuesday.

According to him, the governor of Taraba state, Agbu Kefas and another of his counterpart from the North West, will join the ruling party “in a matter of days”.

Ahmad wrote: “In just a matter of days, the Governor of Taraba State and another Governor from the North West will officially join our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).”

As at June 2025, at least two incumbent governors had decamped to the APC.

They include Pastor Umo Eno (Akwa Ibom State) and Sheriff Oborevwori (Delta State).

The governor of Enugu, Peter Mbah, is heavily rumoured to be the next to jump ship.

Geoffrey Uche Nnaji, the Minister of Innovation, Science, and Technology has tendered his resignation.

He resigned following some allegations of certificate forgery against him.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s media aide Bayo Onanuga who confirmed the resignation in a statement, said the president has accepted the Minister’s decision.

According to Onanuga, Tinubu has “accepted the resignation of Geoffrey Uche Nnaji, the Minister of Innovation, Science, and Technology, following some allegations against him.

“President Tinubu appointed Nnaji in August 2023.

“He resigned today in a letter thanking the President for allowing him to serve Nigeria.

“Nnaji said he has been a target of blackmail by political opponents.

“President Tinubu thanked him for his service and wished him well in future endeavours”.

Abia North Senator, Orji Uzor Kalu, has revealed his meeting with the first Biafra agitator, late General Chukwuemeka Odumegu Ojukwu, during the last days of his life.

Speaking during an interview on Arise Television monitored by Ekwutosblog on Sunday, Uzor-Kalu said Ojukwu told him that the first Biafra agitation was necessary but second was not.

He also refuted the allegation that he was less Igbo than the people of the entire Southeast.

“I am full blooded Igbo. I was with late Ojukwu in the later days of his life, and his wife, Mrs Bianca can testify to this that I was always coming to the General, and the General was coming to my village to stay some days or weekends.

“And then Ojukwu told me that the first struggle for Biafra was necessary, that the second one is no longer necessary.

“Even if these boys want Biafra, who are you going to rule when you kill all the Igbos? When you stop all Igbos from doing businesses?

“When on Mondays, if you see people going out for business, you start pursuing them and killing them? I mean, it is not rational. It is not just nice.

“I thought with what happened to Nnamdi Kanu, these boys should come together in a table and say, how do we get peace to resolve this matter politically? And not still talking tough as they are trying to behave.

“So I think even if they want Biafra, they should drop their arms and go with their flags and demand for what they want and negotiate for it and talk for a referendum.

“Even the man that fought the civil war, the wife is saying the same thing I’m saying. Minister Bianca Ojukwu knows the thought of her husband, and nobody will believe on the destruction of Igbo land. Enough is enough.

“Let us stop destroying ourselves. Let us stop destroying our properties. Let us stop destroying what we have.

“Look, there is no more commerce in the entire Igbo land. How are we going to live? Things are difficult. Things are very bad for people living there. So how are we going to live? These are the issues,” he said.
