PDP tells Fubara to Remain in PDP to Rebuild Rivers After His Return To Office
Governor Siminalayi Fubara has returned to office in Rivers State after President Bola Tinubu lifted the six-month state of emergency that pushed him, his deputy, and the State House of Assembly out of power. The move, announced on September 17, 2025, marked the end of a tense period in the oil-rich state, where political clashes and governance breakdowns had led to federal intervention.
With his reinstatement, the Lagos chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has sent a clear message to Fubara: stay loyal to the party and focus on rebuilding Rivers. The chapter urged him not to abandon the PDP, calling on him to show courage, restore confidence in leadership, and make sure the people feel the impact of good governance after months of uncertainty.
The Rivers crisis had deepened earlier this year with sharp disagreements between Fubara and the state legislature, as well as disputes over budgets and widespread disruptions to governance. Violence and damage to vital oil facilities made matters worse, prompting the federal government to step in with emergency rule. A retired navy chief, Ibok Ekwe Ibas, was temporarily put in charge until order was restored.
Now that the emergency is over, expectations are high. The Lagos PDP believes this is Fubara’s chance to set Rivers on a new path, mend divisions, and prove his commitment to both his people and his party.

Dele Momodu Questions Remi Tinubu’s Interruption of Gov. Adeleke at Ooni’s Event
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.
The event was the 10th coronation anniversary of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi. In the scene, while Governor Adeleke was giving a speech, he began with a worship song. 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.

First Lady Oluremi Tinubu Speaks on Forgiveness and Moving Forward
First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has shared that she has forgiven those who betrayed her husband during the 2023 general elections.
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.”

Atiku’s Spokesman Says APC Is Already Planning to Rig the 2027 Elections
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.”
