My defection rumor orchestrated by political comedians – Gov Idris

Published

on

Kebbi State Governor, Dr. Nasir Idris, has firmly denied rumours suggesting he plans to defect from the All Progressives Congress (APC), declaring his loyalty to the party.

In a statement issued on Sunday by his Chief Press Secretary, Ahmed Idris, the governor described the speculation as “ridiculously malicious” and the handiwork of “uninteresting political comedians” trying to create instability.

Reacting to reports linking him to a coalition allegedly led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Governor Idris stated categorically, “I am made in APC, by APC, and for APC.

“For the avoidance of doubt, I am not a political prostitute. I will be the last person to leave my formidable and reliable party for any coalition, no matter who the architects are,” he added.

Idris, popularly known as Kauran Gwandu, emphasised that his focus remains firmly on delivering good governance to the people of Kebbi State and supporting the vision of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“If they tell you again that Kaura is likely to leave his APC, tell them I will be the last man standing,” he declared.

Reaffirming Kebbi State’s strong allegiance to the APC, Idris dismissed the defection rumours as nothing more than the dance of mad fellows in the marketplace.

He assured citizens that his administration remains committed to the welfare of the people and the continued growth of the state under the APC banner.

“I remain steadfast with the people of Kebbi State, and together, we will consolidate on the successes of the APC to deliver the dividends of democracy,” he concluded.

2027: Tinubu’s second-term ambition misplaced priority – Ex-Lagos Dep Gov

Published

on

A former Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Kofo Bucknor-Akerele, has described as a misplaced priority President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.

Bucknor-Akerele deputised ex-Lagos governor Tinubu from May 1999 to December 2002, though Tinubu was in office till May 2007.

The octogenarian was on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief programme on Thursday.

Bucknor-Akerele, a member of The Patriots, led by former Commonwealth Secretary-General Emeka Anyaoku, said the Tinubu presidency must rejig the nation’s socio-economic apparatus as a matter of urgency.

She said seeking a second term in office should not be Tinubu’s focus at the moment, but getting the country to work.

Bucknor-Akerele said, “Unfortunately, right now, what I see is that the president is looking for a second term, and that seems to be his focus. But I think he should try and look at what people like Emeka Anyaoku and so many others of that calibre sat down and they are trying to fashion something that is going to change Nigeria for the future generations.

“I hope that his advisers would be able to tell him that 2027 is not our priority right now; our priority right now is fashioning something that will be able to make Nigeria great again.”
