The El-Rufai, Atiku coalition that came, saw, but did not conquer, by Olabode Opeseitan
Once hailed as the firebrand of Northern Nigerian politics, Nasir El-Rufai now finds himself in a curious twilight—boasting of a coalition that would sweep APC into the dustbin of history, only to be swept aside by the very electorate he presumed would rally behind him.

Tinubu’s economic reforms: When facts speak, propaganda trembles, by Segun Olulade Eleniyan
It is becoming increasingly difficult for even the most hardened critics to deny that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s economic reforms are working.

On Obi and his ‘folly’, by Olubunmi Ajai
I am glad the people of Anambra voted with logic and not let Peter Obi deceive them with his emotional rhetoric.
