Governor of Niger State, Mohammed Umar Bago sparks reaction from the public as he lays down new rule for the state. He ordered the police to arrest anyone seen on dreadlocks.

The singer slams Governor Bago as he currently keeps a beard.

The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has dismissed the new political coalition involving Atiku Abubakar, Nasir El-Rufai, Aminu Tambuwal, Adewole Adebayo, and others, saying the alliance is off to a bad start and won’t bring any meaningful change to Nigeria.

In a statement shared by his media aide, Oluwatosin Osho, Primate Ayodele criticized the group of politicians, claiming none of them have what it takes to fix the country. He said it would be better for President Tinubu to continue in power and correct his own mistakes rather than hand the country over to any of the coalition members.

He said, “Atiku, Obi, Tambuwal, Bala Mohammed, Adebayo Adewole and the rest are not getting it right. If Nigerians vote Obi, the country will remain stagnant. If they vote Atiku, Nigeria is heading to the mortuary. And if El-Rufai takes over, the nation will be buried. These people can’t help Nigeria.”

The prophet also claimed that the PDP has lost its grip and that some of its governors are already aligning with the APC. According to him, states like Akwa Ibom, Enugu, Oyo, and Osun are being negotiated to support the ruling party in the next election. He added that Anambra will also swing toward APC in 2027.

“There’s no such thing as a PDP governors’ forum anymore. Most of the governors are working against the party and more defections are coming. Some will join APC fully before the elections,” he said.

Primate Ayodele also sent a warning to President Tinubu, urging him not to relax ahead of 2027.

He revealed that there are three particular individuals whose involvement in the election could make Tinubu lose. He stressed that unless these three people stay out of the race, Tinubu’s chances would be threatened.

“Tinubu must take some serious steps now. There are three things he must do if he wants to secure victory, and there are three specific people who must not contest. If even one of them joins the coalition, Tinubu will be in trouble,” he added.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that the 2027 elections will not be a typical political battle but a showdown between President Bola Tinubu and the everyday struggles of Nigerians.

Speaking on Thursday while presenting a Certificate of Return to Anambra governorship candidate Ezenwafor Jude, PDP Acting National Chairman, Ambassador Umar Damagum, emphasized that the elections won’t be about political titles or the number of governors any party controls.

He said, “This election is between Tinubu and the living conditions of Nigerians. It’s not about governors or senators. It’s APC versus the people. The pain being felt across the country is not accidental — it’s the result of bad policies. Nigerians have a chance to change that.”

Addressing the recent wave of defections in Delta State, where Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, former governor Ifeanyi Okowa, and several cabinet members left the PDP for the APC, Damagum expressed disappointment.

He said the PDP had been extremely supportive of Delta State over the years and didn’t expect such a political move from a state that had benefited greatly from the party.

According to him, “If there’s any state that shouldn’t have taken this step, it’s Delta. We’ve supported them all through, from Okowa’s emergence to his selection as vice-presidential candidate. We expected better, but the party has weathered worse and we’ll keep moving forward.”
