The Obaseki Tsunami. By Prince Tonye T.J.T Princewill

Emporium Reporters

The recent victory of H.E Godwin Obaseki is a lesson that many can learn from. I think it sends a very clear message to Nigerians as a whole, but a direct message to APC and a quiet message to the PDP in particular. Today I will leave the international community out of it. They still have their own fishes to fry. Their progression from what I had previously described as very toothless bulldogs to now issuing travel bans on election riggers, is a good first step. But they know they…

How protest vote and 2023 calculations won Godwin Obaseki second term, By Law Mefor

Emporium Reporters

It is unbelievable how ego trips and intrigues of 2023 made the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to lose Edo State to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). It all started when the party acquiesced to the machinations that led to the disqualification of its own Governor on frivolity. Governor Godwin Obaseki was disqualified based on the same certificates he used in 2016 to become the Governor of Edo State. Such flimsy excuses were used to attempt to repeat what happened to Akinwunmi Ambode as Governor of Lagos State who…

Many Nigerians are anxious to get a glimpse on how September 19 Edo Governorship Election elections would look like. The long awaited Edo state election has come and gone. With the winner annourced by INEC APC’s former National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole was the great loser as a self acclaimed Edo state political godfather. Also All Progressives Congress (APC) as a ruling governing party bear same fate from popular protest vote. In spite Edo state produced two national chairman of APC but even before the September 19 Edo Governorship Election political…

Oshiomole’s Deceptive Apologia By Richard Akinola II

Emporium Reporters

May the soul of aunty Remi Oyo rest in peace. Late Aunty Remi was president Obasanjo’s spokesperson. Aunty Remi had no iota of respect for Adams Oshiomhole as a Labour leader because of his Hyde and Jackyl predilection. As the number one Labour leader, Adams would huff and puff, mobilizing us, the Labour and civil society for one strike and protest or the other. With his oratory, he would make the necessary noise for sound bites. We would go out to mobilize to shut down the country. We didn’t know…

Buni’s tasks in redeeming APC Image By Abba Dukawa

Emporium Reporters

Since 2015 when the party won the presidential election, it has not been able to manage its success, as the party has been embroiled in one crisis or the other due to the lack of cohesion and internal party discipline among APC leaders and all the ranks of the party in the country. In 2015 APC had 60 senators and 190 All Progressives Congress in the House of Representatives but due to rising political tensions to the election in 2019 lost 37 members in the National Assembly, 33 members defected…

BECOMING THE PARTY WE WERE INTENDED TO BE – Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu

Emporium Reporters

I wish to begin my remarks by commending members of the National Working Committee. Under their collective stewardship, the party earned great and important victories, not least the vital second mandate handed to President Buhari. President Buhari’s victory, and the overall electoral success of APC speak highly of them. Our task as a party is to build upon the progress thus made so that both nation and party may advance to their better future. Yet, we must acknowledge that something important has gone off track. For some months we have…

BETWEEN AN INGRATE SON AND AN OVERBEARING FATHER – HOW IT ENDED IN EDO By Abdullahi O.Haruna (Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

Nothing wrecks a man than obstinate push for vengeance, the desire to have your pound of flesh is an open embrace to your end, that way, your imminent waterloo is assured. Even the scriptures admonished us into leaving vengeance to God. In African Night Entertainment, a book authored by late cerebral word lord, Cyprian Ekwensi, we saw how the quest for vengeance wrecked the promising life of Abubakar, the protagonist of the storyline. He was cheated of his heartthrob and went wide and wild in search of revenge- he got…

Tasks before APC Caretaker Convention Committee By Abba Dukawa

Emporium Reporters

Immediately after the APC was elected into the power in 2015 elections the party started wrestling with issues of party building, party structures, internal democracy and the nature of the relationship between parties and members, parties a, legislative members and government. In spite the party appears to be most darling party among Nigerians in history but due to the absence of internal democracy in the party and fragile harmony being experienced among its NWC since 2015. This party lack of cohesion and internal party discipline among APC among all the…
