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.
Tonye Cole speaks out on Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s emergence and continuation as the Governor of Rivers State.
He shared his thoughts, saying the governor likely consulted with his close allies before making key decisions.
“My assumption is that the governor would have gone with his own close allies, discussed with them, and said that this is the best way, that he has to move forward for the next six months or thereabouts of his administration. I would assume that’s what he did.”
“But I am not in his chamber, so I wouldn’t know. But that’s what I would assume he would do.”
He added “But having taken the responsibility to come and finish his term, then he has to finish it in the way that allows him to govern. He can’t go back into fighting.”
Politician and former President Olusegun Obasanjo speaks on Nigeria and shares that the possibility of Nigeria surviving another civil war is quite low.
He revealed that the issues that led to the Biafra War have not been resolved and that if another war breaks out, it will be much harder to resolve.
Reflecting on the civil war, he shared “The conditions that led to the Nigerian civil war years ago still remain unresolved.”
“I was involved in the civil war, but whenever people ask me about the Asaba massacre, I always tell them I cannot give details because Murtala Muhammed was responsible for operations in that area.”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose pleads with the government and President Tinubu that the minimum wage needs to be increased.
He shared that the current minimum wage of ₦70,000 is not enough considering the current state of the country and urged the government to increase it to ₦200,000.
“President Tinubu, have mercy on our people and increase the minimum wage to ₦200,000 now. I don’t think anyone can survive on the current ₦70,000 minimum wage. ₦70,000 is nothing. If we don’t solve the minimum wage problem, we can’t solve crime.”
