2027: Hakeem Baba-Ahmed Lacks Democratic Authority To Disqualify Atiku - Omoluabi Coalition

Image
A group, the Omoluabi Coalition has strongly condemned the continued interventions of Hakeem Baba-Ahmed in Nigeria’s opposition politics, describing his posture as duplicitous, partisan, and calculated to weaken the opposition ahead of 2027. In a statement issued on Friday and signed by its Convener, Olumide Obayemi, the Coalition faulted Baba-Ahmed’s repeated public calls urging Atiku Abubakar to step aside from the 2027 contest, insisting that the decision to seek elective office is a personal and constitutional right, guided by prevailing political realities—not the preferences of self-appointed gatekeepers. The Coalition noted with concern that since his much-publicised exit from the administration of Bola Tinubu, Baba-Ahmed has conspicuously avoided any serious critique of a government that has presided over unprecedented economic hardship, social dislocation, and national despair. Instead, his energy has been disproportionately deployed against the opposition—particul...

Timi Frank Knocks GCON For Chagoury, Warns Of ‘State-sanctioned Impunity’

Image
Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has described the conferment of the Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON) on businessman Gilbert Chagoury as a dark moment for Nigeria, warning that the decision sends a dangerous signal that corruption and conflicts of interest are being normalised at the highest levels of power. In a strongly worded statement he released on Tuesday, Frank said the honour - Nigeria’s second-highest national award - undermines public trust and the country’s anti-corruption posture, given widely reported allegations and judicial findings linking Chagoury to money-laundering cases arising from funds looted during the late General Sani Abacha junta. “Today ranks among the saddest days of my life as a Nigerian,” Frank said, recalling reports that a Swiss court convicted Chagoury in 2000 in connection with laundering Abacha loot, after which he allegedly paid a fine of one million Sw...

Resign Before You Completely Wreck EFCC, Timi Frank Tells Chairman, Olukoyede

Image
*Says commission now political enforcer, not anti-graft agency Political activist and former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, on Wednesday, launched a scathing attack on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), accusing the anti-graft agency of abandoning its constitutional mandate and operating as a political tool of the ruling party. In a strongly worded statement, Frank called on the Chairman of the EFCC, Ola Olukoyede, to resign in order to save the agency.  According to him, the EFCC, under the watch of Olukoyede, had “conducted itself in a manner inconsistent with the laws of the land,” adding that the Commission had brought “shame and disrepute” upon itself through what he described as selective prosecution and political bargaining. “We have unfortunately reached a point in our country where it has become difficult to distinguish between a Commission statutorily saddled with the responsibi...
