“PDP May Skip 2027 Presidential Election Over Leadership Crisis” — Lere Olayinka

Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications to the FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, has hinted that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) might not present a presidential candidate in 2027. His comments come amid ongoing turmoil over who holds the legitimate position of PDP’s National Secretary. Samuel Anyanwu and Sunday Ude-Okoye have been locked in a bitter dispute over the role, despite a Supreme Court ruling.
The conflict began when Anyanwu left the position to run for governor in Imo State in 2023. During his absence, the party’s Southeast caucus endorsed Ude-Okoye as his replacement. But after losing the election, Anyanwu returned to reclaim his seat. Upset by this move, Ude-Okoye took the matter to court. Although a High Court removed Anyanwu, the Supreme Court’s March judgment only deepened the crisis.
Olayinka stressed that the PDP constitution clearly defines the rightful National Secretary. In a post on X, he said since Anyanwu has neither resigned nor passed away, he remains the legitimate National Secretary.
He added that the party’s Deputy National Secretary can only step in if the National Secretary resigns or dies. Olayinka concluded with a warning, saying the party may skip fielding candidates not just this year, but also in 2026 and 2027, highlighting the depth of the party’s troubles.

Singer Charly Boy Reacts to ADC’s 2027 Plans: “Is It About Change or Power?”

Nigerian singer Charly Boy has shared his thoughts on the recent political move by the political party African Democratic Congress (ADC).
It can be noted that the party is gearing up to challenge President Tinubu’s position in the 2027 elections.
The singer took to social media to express his thoughts on the move and questioned who the party is truly fighting for.
“Are they fighting for you, or fighting to sit where their enemies used to sit? Are they shouting ‘enough is enough’ because they’ve changed… or because they’re no longer the ones benefitting?”
“We don’t just need new names. We need new values, new visions, and people with the guts to live by them. 2027 is not about revenge. It’s about rescue.”

Amaechi Says Buhari Performed Better Than Tinubu

Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, believes that despite his shortcomings, former President Muhammadu Buhari performed better than the current administration under President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi admitted Buhari didn’t achieve everything he set out to do, but insisted that things were still better under his leadership compared to now. “Buhari will be the first to tell you he didn’t accomplish all his plans, but by every standard, his government outperformed this one,” Amaechi said.
The former Rivers State governor pointed to areas like security and the independence of institutions, especially the electoral commission, as key areas where Buhari did better. “In terms of security, Buhari placed more focus there. When it comes to the independence of INEC, there was far more freedom under Buhari than we’re seeing now,” he added.
Amaechi also criticised the current state of politics, claiming that new political parties can’t even get registered because of interference from government officials. He made it clear that his comments are not personal, saying he would have been the first to commend President Tinubu if things were going well.

Amaechi Says It’s Time for a Southern President to Rule Nigeriar

Former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi has maintained that Nigeria’s next president should come from the South. Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi stressed that while power should shift to the South, competence and character must be the key factors in choosing leaders, not just regional sentiment.
He pointed out that the coming elections won’t just be about political parties but will be a fight between everyday Nigerians and the political class. In his words, “Nigeria belongs to everyone. We can’t keep running a system where one region holds all the power and others are sidelined. There are capable leaders in the South. It’s time to restore balance and deliver real results.”
Amaechi added that the elections should not be based on blind party loyalty, saying, “This is about Nigerians taking a stand against the political elite. If we truly want change, now is the time to act.” He believes the South is prepared to take the lead, promising a platform that gives every Nigerian a voice and renewed hope.
