Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has said that ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal destroyed the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Fayose made this allegation on Friday while fielding questions in an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television monitored by Ekwutosblog.

Atiku and Tambuwal destroyed PDP. Politics is not fair. Life itself is s not balanced.

“Everybody stands where they will be able to say the truth to Nigerians. I’m not contesting any election and I’m not asking anybody for favour.

“Let me quickly say this. I never knew this thing will ever happen between Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara and the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.

“I was sitting on the high table the day governor Fubara was sworn in and we were on the high table in Rivers. And I told Wike that I want to say one or two things to  Fubara not to betray you.”

Labour Party chieftain and former Anambra State governorship candidate, George Moghalu, has said he is not ready to join any political party for now, stressing that he is still consulting widely before taking any decision.

Moghalu made this known during a media session with political correspondents at his residence, where he disclosed that discussions are ongoing ahead of a possible defection to another political party. The former APC member emphasized that any decision he eventually makes will be reached collectively, noting that he must also consult with those who left the APC alongside him.

“I am not ready to join any political party now. I am still consulting, and once I am done with my consultation, I will make a statement,” Moghalu said.

He also called on opposition leaders to be guided by principles and ideology, deepen internal democracy, uphold the rule of law, and place national interest above personal ambition as the country moves toward the 2027 general elections.

President Tinubu commends Adedeji’s sterling leadership of the 83-year-old revenue agency, the introduction of fresh ideas, the adoption of global best practices, the automation of systems, and the upskilling of staff members for the greater good of the nation.

“I salute the NRS Chairman for his visionary and charismatic dedication in restructuring, aligning and managing the revenue profile of the country.

“He recorded a historic achievement, meeting the budget targets in the Third Quarter of 2025, and stimulating the economy for prosperity.

“Zacch has also been instrumental in the adoption of the National Single Window, a transformative federal digital platform to streamline import and export processes, enhance transparency and reduce cargo clearance from 21 days to one week,” the President remarks.

Dr Adedeji previously served as a senior member of Procter & Gamble’s management team, as Commissioner of Finance for Oyo State, and as Executive Secretary of the National Sugar Development Council, where he established the National Sugar Institute.

He also served as Special Adviser to the President on Revenue before being appointed as FIRS chairman in September 2023.

The President prays that the Almighty God will grant the NRS Chairman more years of good health, wisdom and strength to keep serving the nation.
