Atiku Abubakar’s certificate forgery allegation: More posers for Dele Momodu, By Ismail Omipidan
I admire Chief Dele Momodu’s passion and unwavering support for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and the current Osun Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke. However, the air he claims has been cleared over the lingering controversy surrounding Atiku Abubakar’s educational background is still hanging. I implore him to go back to our former Vice President after reading this piece for more…

Let me tell you about Rev Chris Okotie, By Femi Adesina
In eight years of serving as Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari, I saw humanity in different dimensions: the good, the bad and the ugly. Some people were after us morning, noon and night. Implacable. We were at the mercy of supposedly Christian preachers who were full of bile, malice and malediction. They cursed, saw evil…

Nigeria: Transcending the economic impasse, By Bámidélé Adémólá-Olátéjú
A flurry of activities has commenced since Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu won the presidential election and was sworn in, as president. Due to the poisoned chalice he inherited and the economic booby trap he walked into, he enjoyed no honeymoon whatsoever. From the pronouncement he made that “Subsidy is gone!”, it was clear from the onset that President Tinubu ascended the presidency without any illusion about the magnitude…

Atiku Abubakar’s nunc dimittis, By Peter Claver Oparah
By every measure the parody Atiku Abubakar, the defeated presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and his cohorts put up yesterday, which they flattered with the hyperbole of ‘World Press Conference’ was an anti-climax that worsened the already battered image of Atiku and his sulking PDP fawners that are yet to live down their defeat in the hands…

Opinion: Atiku’s wild goose chase, by Kola Amzat
Never in the history of Nigerian democratic governance has she experienced a very top political chieftain so drenched in vengeance and completely overwhelmed with pettiness and pedestrian political issues capable of tearing the country apart, as well as rocking the unity and togetherness of her territorial integrity to its foundation, like ex-V/president, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

The mess by Customs at the border, By Yemi Adebowale
I was left depressed after listening to the acting Comptroller-General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, speaking on the smuggling of petroleum products and revenue generation at a press briefing in Abuja last week, organised to mark his first 100 days in office. I heard the man that is supposed to be leading the team protecting our borders giving needless and childish…

Atiku’s fishing expedition: much ado about nothing, By Kassim Afegbua
When the noise rented the air like a thunderbolt, one was tempted to conclude that there was substance in their agitations. Quite a few Atiku Abubakar’s media lapdogs appeared with leaked saliva all over their mouths, seemingly aroused by a false hope of catching President Tinubu pants down. Indeed they have been running from one media house to another, trying…

Tinubu: How Atiku defrauded the world, Nigerians, By Ismail Omipidan
He called it a World Press Conference. But it turned out to be an avenue to further defraud the world and especially Nigerians over his desperate attempt to secure Nigeria’s presidency at all cost. I have read series of commentaries and interventions over the release of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s academic records by the Chicago State University (CSU). But I…

Whispers about Dr. Bala Usman, By Okello Oculi
Dr. Bala Usman and I first met at Essex University, located one-hour by train, from London. He had come to see a peace-research activist who was on the faculty. When we greeted, I quickly asked if he was from the southern Sudan or Rwanda for he was as tall, straight, and self-assured as the cattle-rearing Dinka, Shilluk of Sudan or…
