OPINION: APC presidential primaries: if Buhari remains neutral, Tinubu will triumph, By Kola Amzat
Already, it’s a maddening crowd. Maddening crowd indeed! As we speak, more than 25 APC top party men are patiently awaiting screening after the submission of their forms as contestants for the office of the president of our dear nation. Unless some are screened out or forced to withdraw, the implication is that they’ve finally resolved to throw their hats…

So, who made who? By Bola Bolawole
The debate is on as to who made who! Did you make me or it was me who made you? Is this a case of the right hand washing the left and the left washing the right? Is this a symbiosis of what the Yoruba call “owo omode o to pepe, t’agbalagba o wo akeregbe”? Or “omode gbon, agba gbon…

APC’s search for consensus, By Wahab Adamu
The ruling All Progressives Congress leadership’s quest for consensus as the mode of selection of its presidential candidate for the 2023 general election may have become unfeasible given the determination of many of the 28 aspirants to assert their right to be rated by the party’s delegates that are expected to converge on Abuja next week. Incidentally, the indication that…

Osinbajo: Senator Sola Adeyeye’s inconsistency as a sign of dishonesty, By Ajibola Basiru
“There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.”Proverbs 6:16 Cultural and moral principles differ…

Iyorchia Ayu’s messy executives, By Kassim Afegbua
I want to believe that some members of the Peoples’ Democratic Party-PDP, are under a spell to do the wrong things all the time. Despite the banana peel that resides around them, what they want to eat often makes them blind to their real intention. From Uche Secondus’s era to the present Iyorchia Ayu-led exco, the PDP executives are impervious…

So, why does Buhari hate Tinubu? By Peter Claver Oparah
One narrative we have gotten used to, especially as the APC presidential primary nears an exciting climax is that Buhari hates Tinubu and will never hand over to him in 2023. This has almost become an anthem to faithfuls of other candidates jostling for the prime APC ticket. They sing it, they dance around it, they magnify it and proclaim…

The reason for the delay and seeming confusion over the commencement of the screening of presidential aspirants on the platform of the All Progressives Congress has emerged.

When Adeleke farts, By Sam Omatseye
He was addressing a rally in what should have been a holy attire. What came out of Ademola Adeleke had no holy mission before his adoring followers. His lips violated his white cap and white tunic. He was in his element as a political never-do-well. He did not tell his people he wanted to change their lives in education or…

ANALYSIS: PDP and it’s aspirants, By Chris Adetayo
My patented Politic-o-meter (TM) has also been watching the Biggest Party in Africa (TM) as it prepares to pick a candidate for next year’s presidential elections. So what do we know so far? 17 candidates picked and submitted forms, thus earning the PDP slightly less than N700m. Compared to the APC’s N2.8B, this is not “serious” money. Of the 17,…
