Atiku Celebrates Kwankwaso at 68, Hails His Legacy and Patriotism

Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has extended his heartfelt congratulations to his long-time ally and fellow political figure, Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, as he celebrates his 68th birthday.
In a warm message shared on social media, Atiku expressed admiration for Kwankwaso’s contributions to both Kano State and the nation at large, calling him a “time-tested political leader” who has dedicated years of service to the people.
Kwankwaso, a former two-term governor of Kano State, has left an indelible mark on the political landscape.
He is well-known for his innovative programs, including the Kwankwasiyya movement, which has garnered significant support, especially among the youth in northern Nigeria.
His leadership in the state not only improved infrastructure but also emphasized education, with scholarship programs that benefited countless students.
Atiku highlighted Kwankwaso’s “towering political figure,” acknowledging his resilience and unwavering commitment to the development of Nigeria.
The former governor’s influence stretches beyond his gubernatorial tenure, as he has held key roles at the national level, including serving as Minister of Defence.
Kwankwaso’s political career is marked by his doggedness and a sense of patriotism, qualities that have made him a notable figure in Nigeria’s political arena.
Atiku’s message also reflected the deep bond shared between the two leaders. Both men have worked together in various political contexts over the years, with Kwankwaso notably running for president in 2019 under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), where Atiku was also a major contender.
Their shared vision for Nigeria has kept them aligned on many issues, especially in matters of governance and national unity.
As Kwankwaso celebrates another year, Atiku wishes him many more years of fruitful service, not only to Kano but to the entire country.
He emphasized that Kwankwaso’s contributions to Nigeria are far from over and that his leadership remains essential in the journey toward a better and more prosperous nation.
This birthday message from Atiku underscores the mutual respect and collaboration between two of Nigeria’s prominent political leaders, both of whom continue to play pivotal roles in shaping the country’s future.

Senator Abba Moro Says PDP Is Getting Ready to Win m in the 2027 Elections

Senator Abba Moro, representing Benue South and serving as the Senate Minority Leader, has voiced strong support for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as it works to rebuild and prepare for the 2027 general elections. Speaking at the party’s 99th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on Tuesday, May 27, 2027, in Abuja, Moro said PDP lawmakers in the National Assembly fully back the efforts of the party’s leadership, including the National Working Committee, Board of Trustees, governors, and other key figures.
“We believe in the plans being rolled out by our leaders. These activities will lead us to a successful national convention,” he said. Moro was optimistic about the future of the party, urging members and supporters to stay hopeful. “There’s no better time to remind Nigerians that the PDP is coming back,” he said with confidence.
While acknowledging that the party has lost some members recently, he described those defections as only short-term challenges, insisting that the PDP still holds the strongest nationwide presence. He reminded the gathering of how the party started with just 16 individuals determined to shape Nigeria’s democratic future, and encouraged everyone to remain united and focused. “Nigeria needs an alternative,” Moro said. “And that alternative is the PDP.”

PDP Says Nigeria’s Economy Is Getting Worse Under President Tinubu

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has raised serious concerns about the worsening insecurity and declining economy under President Bola Tinubu’s administration. This was a key point during the PDP’s 99th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held on Tuesday in Abuja. The party also said it would carefully consider the South-East caucus’s resolutions at a special meeting scheduled for June 30, 2025. The NEC meeting, which faced several delays before finally taking place, focused on urgent issues affecting the country and the party.
In a statement read by Acting National Chairman Iliya Damagum, the PDP criticized the current government for what it called growing insecurity, economic struggles, and widespread corruption. The statement described the Tinubu-led administration as exploitative and out of touch with the people’s needs. It condemned inconsistent policies, corruption, budget misuse, and the loss of investor confidence, which have led to a decline in Nigeria’s infrastructure.
The PDP also accused the government of trying to weaken opposition parties by intimidating politicians and undermining democratic institutions. Despite these challenges, the party reaffirmed its commitment to democracy, the rule of law, and the people’s right to freely participate in a multi-party political system. The PDP made it clear that it will continue to stand against any moves to limit Nigeria’s democracy or create a one-party system.

PDP Governors Say They Won’t Bow to Pressure from Federal Government

Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have declared that they won’t be shaken by any form of intimidation from the Federal Government. Speaking at the party’s 99th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting in Abuja, the governors accused the current administration of using pressure tactics and exclusion to weaken the party. But they made it clear—they’re not backing down.
Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, who also chairs the PDP Governors Forum, said the Tinubu-led government has created a political environment filled with provocations and hurdles. He admitted that the party has faced defections and ongoing talks about alliances, but insisted that PDP is still strong and united.
“No kind of pressure or manipulation has been left out,” he said. “But we’re still here, standing firm in our commitment to good governance.” He pointed out that unlike other parties that are battling internal divisions, the PDP has managed to stay united. “We are not like the others with constant in-fighting. We remain one family,” he said.
Governor Mohammed also highlighted how the party has been staying active by holding meetings across several states and releasing communiqués that tackle key national issues. He mentioned recent gatherings in Plateau, Taraba, Oyo, Delta, Akwa Ibom, and Bauchi as proof that the party is not fading away. He praised party leaders for their resilience and described the NEC meeting as a clear victory for democracy and responsible leadership in the face of growing national challenges.
