Peter Obi Celebrates Moghalu’s Appointment as President of African School of Governance

Peter Obi, the former Governor of Anambra State and the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has extended warm congratulations to his dear friend and former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Prof. Kingsley Chiedu Moghalu, on his recent appointment as the inaugural president of the African School of Governance (ASG) in Kigali, Rwanda.
The appointment was made by African leaders as part of efforts to address the continent’s governance challenges.
Prof. Moghalu, who has been a prominent figure in Nigerian economic policy and international relations, brings a wealth of experience to his new role at ASG.
He served as the Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria from 2009 to 2014, where he was instrumental in banking reforms and enhancing the country’s financial stability.
His academic background, including a professorship in international business and public policy at The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University, further bolsters his qualifications to lead ASG.
Peter Obi in a statement on his X account, expressed confidence that Prof. Moghalu will contribute significantly to the school’s mission.
“As the pioneer president of ASG, Prof. Moghalu will draw on his wealth of knowledge and experience to contribute to addressing the continent’s pressing governance challenges by offering a world-class education in public policy and governance, equipping emerging leaders with the mindsets, skills, and knowledge required for effective leadership of Africa’s future,” Obi said.
The issue of governance in Africa remains a significant concern for many. Peter Obi, who has been an advocate for good governance and transparency throughout his political career, emphasized the importance of institutions like ASG in shaping the future of leadership in Africa.
He acknowledged that both Africa and Nigeria have been heavily burdened by poor governance and leadership failures for decades.
According to Obi, institutions like the African School of Governance are crucial in building a new generation of African leaders who will be competent, capable, and committed to the continent’s development.
“Africa, and indeed, our dear country Nigeria, has remained greatly burdened by poor governance and leadership failure.
Institutions like these, which address the continent’s governance challenges, are critical to building a new generation of African leaders who will be competent, capable, and committed to the development of the continent,” Obi remarked.
He concluded his message with prayers for Prof. Moghalu, asking for God’s wisdom, strength, and grace to guide him in his new role. “May God give Prof Moghalu the wisdom, strength, and grace to succeed in his new position,” Obi added.
Peter Obi’s closing message, “A New Nigeria, and indeed Africa, is possible,” highlights his continued belief that real change can happen if visionary leaders and effective institutions are in place to guide the continent toward better governance.

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.
