  Aisha Yesufu Claims Tinubu Has Already Lost the 2027 Presidential Election Human rights activist and political commentator, Aisha Yesufu, has stirred political debate after claiming that Nigeria’s president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has already lost the 2027 presidential election , despite the election still being years away. Yesufu made the statement during a recent interview on Politics Today on Channels Television, where she discussed the current political climate in Nigeria and the strategies being used by political leaders ahead of the next general election. According to the activist, the President’s efforts to gain the support of state governors ahead of the election may be an attempt to create what she described as an “illusion of political strength.” She argued that political endorsements from governors do not necessarily guarantee victory at the polls. Speaking during the interview, Yesufu said that the Nigerian electorate ultimately determines election outcomes, not the numb...

El-Rufai, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, is also expected to face criminal prosecution over the alleged bugging of the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu’s phone. Multiple sources within the anti-graft agency confirmed to The PUNCH that the former governor, who arrived at the commission’s Jabi headquarters around 10am in response to an invitation, was grilled over allegations arising from the 2024 report of the Kaduna State House of Assembly which accused his administration of misappropriating loans, violating due process in contract awards and plunging the state into heavy debt.

No Musician Is Greater Than Fela Kuti

Image
         NO MUSICIAN IS GREATER THAN FELA KUTI The latest iteration of this conversation is driven by a long rant from  Seun Kuti  against a section of  Wizkid ’s fans   ( Wizkid FC)   who opined that the Afrobeats star has matched and surpassed the greatness of   Fela Kuti , an opinion his son considers a cardinal sin. After several days of counterattacks against the tireless FC, the defence of Seun Kuti invariably stepped on Wizkid’s toes. The Afrobeats star replied with a shocking statement where he backed the thoughts of his fans by  declaring himself greater than Fela . The statement from Wizkid, though intended as a defence against the attack from Seun Kuti, has brought disrespect to the name of Fela Kuti, and this is simply unacceptable.  As someone who has immersed myself to a decent extent in the work and impact of Fela Kuti, I will say it as it is. Wizkid goofed with that statement. Deleting the post within minut...
