Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has labelled former Vice President and presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, a “voodoo economist” over his changing position on fuel subsidy. Speaking on Thursday during an inspection of infrastructure projects in Abuja, Wike recalled that Atiku had pledged in 2022 to remove fuel subsidy within his first 100 days in office, describing the policy as fraudulent. “Now, in 2026, he says he was not going to remove the fuel subsidy. Is he going back to the fraud which he alleged that fuel subsidy was?” Wike queried.…
In a stunning dismissal of his former boss’s political clout, African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar has declared that ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo possesses no electoral value and cannot influence the 2027 presidential election outcome. Speaking with journalists on Wednesday after reports emerged that Obasanjo had declined to endorse his presidential ambition, Atiku fired back with a brutal reality check: “In 1999, he could not even win his own state or the Southwest; it was Arewa that made him President. He possesses no electoral value”. The war of words escalated after Obasanjo recently called choosing Atiku as his running…

Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has praised President Bola Tinubu for his “magnanimous” conduct during the August 15 Osun State governorship election. Speaking on TVC News, Fayose noted that the Federal Government could have easily influenced the outcome if it had chosen to, but did not. Drawing a sharp contrast, Fayose alleged that the Federal Government used its influence to take Ekiti State from him during the 2018 governorship election. He detailed that three days before the 2018 poll, the Government House was “jammed,” communication was blocked, and his security details were withdrawn to the police headquarters, leaving him…
The credit for our victory goes to God Almighty and the good people of Osun State for their overwhelming support and re-election. For the sake of history, it is important to clarify that the ADC was never part of the rainbow coalition that canvassed, mobilised, and supported our campaign in the battle leading to last Saturday’s election. I commend all our political partners who sacrificed, worked tirelessly, and went all out to make Saturday a victory day for all Osun people. Their commitment and support were instrumental to our success. Now that the election is over, I remain the Governor…
