In a recent interview, former Senate President Adolphus Wabara disclosed that he rejected a ₦250 million bribe intended to secure his support for the controversial third-term agenda for then-President Olusegun Obasanjo in 2006.

Wabara recounted how the bribe was delivered at 1:30 a.m. in a black G-Wagon, emphasizing that his Soviet Union education, which ingrained a strong disdain for corruption, influenced his decision.

He also criticized current political leaders for using poverty as a tool to manipulate and control the electorate.

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the recent election, has called on the Federal Government to release Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Speaking from his residence in Onitsha, Anambra State, Obi stressed that Nigeria is teetering on the brink of failure and highlighted the critical importance of upholding the rule of law.

He urged the government to respect court rulings that have granted Kanu bail and to release all individuals detained for protests or freedom of speech.

Obi emphasized the need for democratic principles and listening to citizens’ grievances.

On Saturday, June 22, former presidential candidate of the People Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar, paid a visit to former President Muhammadu Buhari in his hometown of Daura, Katsina State.

Atiku arrived at the Umaru Musa Yar’adua Airport in Katsina around 11:25 am on a private jet before heading straight to Daura to meet with the former President.

Accompanying him were former Sokoto State governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, former National Secretary of the PDP Ibrahim Tsauri, as well as party stakeholders and supporters.

After the visit, Atiku spoke with journalists, explaining that his visit was to congratulate the former President and the Emir of Daura on the successful celebration of the Eid-el-Kabir festivity.

However, some, including Doyin Okupe, believe the visit is politically motivated with an eye on the 2027 election. Atiku has previously stated in an interview that he will continue to run for the presidency as long as he remains healthy.
