Isaac Fayose Declares Himself PDP Chairman Suspends Atiku and G5 Members
Isaac Fayose, brother of former Ekiti State governor Ayo Fayose, made a bold declaration by naming himself the new National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
In a surprising move, he also announced the suspension of several prominent figures within the party, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Rivers State Minister Nyesom Wike, his brother Ayo Fayose, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, and other members of the G5 group.
Isaac Fayose, known for his outspoken nature, stated that his actions were aimed at reshaping the party’s leadership and direction.
He expressed confidence in his authority, indicating that anyone dissatisfied with the suspensions could take legal action, saying, “If you are not happy, you should go to court.”
His declaration comes amid growing internal divisions within the PDP, particularly among key stakeholders and members of the G5, a faction of governors who have often voiced dissent against the party’s mainstream decisions.
This announcement has added further tension to the already fractured party, as the suspended members, especially figures like Atiku Abubakar and Nyesom Wike, have been central to PDP’s leadership and influence in national politics.
Isaac Fayose’s self-appointment and suspension decision is likely to fuel ongoing disputes within the party, as many await the next steps from both the suspended individuals and other key party figures.
Fayose’s bold move underscores the power struggles within the PDP and highlights the deepening rift among its leadership as the party grapples with internal conflicts and strategic decisions.
The implications of this development will likely shape the future of the party, as it navigates through these challenging dynamics.

Deji Adeyanju Faces Criticism Over Peter Obi Remarks
Human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has faced backlash after suggesting that opposition figures, including Peter Obi, could contribute to President Tinubu’s chances of re-election if opposition votes remain divided.
He stated “If Tinubu gets re-elected in 2027, blame Peter Obi and the other contractor-general. With all the insecurity and kidnapping in the country, they are the ones aggressively working for his second term by ensuring opposition votes are divided like they did in 2023.”
His comments sparked criticism from many Nigerians, who argued that Peter Obi is not the only opposition figure and should not be solely blamed for political divisions.

Nigeria’s Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, has expressed confidence that the northern region will support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the next election.
According to Matawalle, the administration has delivered major infrastructure projects and development initiatives across the region.
“For us in the North, our votes for the APC and President Tinubu will show clearly that we appreciate what he’s doing for the region.”
He added “If you see the dualisation of the Abuja–Kaduna, Zaria–Sokoto, and Ilela–Badagry expressways, you will agree with me that the North is experiencing key projects it never had in the past, even when a northerner was president.”
