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.

Media personality Dele Momodu reacts and shares his thoughts regarding First Lady Remi Tinubu interrupting the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, during a recent event.

But while singing, the First Lady stood up and met him to inform him to stop singing and go directly to his speech instead.

Media personality Dele then reacted and questioned why she would do something like that, asking if she would have done the same kind of interruption if it were the recitation of the Qur’an.

She revealed this as she marked a new age, reflecting on what the future holds. She emphasized that she holds no grudge against anyone.

“I do not have anything against anyone. The question is how I stopped feeling the betrayal? I knew the grace factor was evident, and the Holy Spirit continually comforted me. I chose never to avenge myself, understanding that it is God’s prerogative. Mine is to thank Him for fighting for us. If God decides to fight your battles and you have won, is there anything else that God missed and you wanted to fix? Nothing. So, let it go.”

Paul Ibe, spokesperson to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of laying the groundwork to manipulate the 2027 general elections.

Speaking during a YouTube interview, Ibe alleged that the ruling party, led by President Bola Tinubu, has run out of achievements to show after more than two years in office. This has resorted to silencing opposition voices and critical institutions.

According to him, APC is working to weaken independent media, civil society groups, and political opponents. They insists that the clampdown is part of a wider strategy to retain power.

“They have nothing to offer after two years of holding on to the mandate,” Ibe said. “The only way left for them is to start preparing to rig, and the process is already in motion.”

Additionally, he went on to describe Nigeria’s current political climate as a drift into dictatorship, recalling the heavy price paid by activists who fought for democracy in the past.

“The democracy we’ve had since 1999 came at a huge sacrifice. Many lives were lost in the struggle,” he said. “Those heroes would be turning in their graves to see what is happening now. People like Sowore are being harassed and intimidated, and that shows where we are heading.”
