2023: PDP NEC Approves Zoning Of National Chairman To North
The National Working Committee (NEC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Thursday, approved the zoning of the party’s next national chairman to the northern part of the country.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, disclosed this while addressing newsmen on the outcome of the NEC held in Abuja.
Ologbondiyan said that the NEC considered and adopted Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi-led Zoning Committee’s report, ahead of the party’s national convention, scheduled for Oct. 30.
The committee had recommended that the current elective National Working Committee (NWC) positions in the party should be swapped between the north and the south.
Ologbondiyan, however, clarified that what was approved was not about the executive and legislative positions in the 2023 general elections but the elective NWC positions for the forthcoming convention.

“So far, nothing has been said to alter the date of the convention, which is Oct. 30, ” Ologbondiyan said.
Speaking on when the aspirants would start obtaining forms, Ologbondiyan said what was adopted was the recommendation of zoning between the north and the south.

Why We’re Impeaching Fubara — Rivers Assembly
The Rivers State House of Assembly has given reasons for the ongoing impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
The Majority Leader of the Assembly, Major Jack, said the decision to impeach the governor and his deputy was based on their alleged persistent violation of the peace agreement brokered by President Bola Tinubu.
Jack made the allegation during plenary on Thursday while presenting the report detailing acts of misconduct against the governor.

According to him, Governor Fubara and his deputy had repeatedly disregarded the resolutions reached during reconciliation efforts aimed at restoring stability in the state.
He accused the two leaders of running the affairs of government without commitment to transparency and good governance.
“The governor and his deputy have continued to act in a manner that undermines democratic principles and accountability,” Jack said.

He further alleged that the peace deals facilitated by President Tinubu were breached on several occasions, including agreements reached during reconciliation meetings held in December 2023 and another in 2025.
Jack insisted that the continued failure of the governor and his deputy to honour the terms of the peace accord necessitated the impeachment process currently before the Assembly.

“Our position as at today on this matter is that we solemnly reject the resort to an impeachment process against our governor and his deputy.

Rivers Crisis: Bad People Won’t Prevail Over Us – Wike
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, says God will not allow “bad people” prevail in Rivers State.
Wike made the statement on Thursday during his ‘thank-you-visit’ to the Bonny Island area of Rivers State.
“I appreciate you because you have shown me love and shown that you are people that can be trusted.
“I have told people that I don’t believe in generalizing, if for example somebody in Bonny disappoints you, you said Bonny people are bad, that’s very wrong.

“There are different kinds of people.There are places you have armed robbers, you have good people who stay there. So you can’t say because someone is bad so everyone there is bad. That’s not it.
“The good people are more in number than the few people who want to rub us black, but God, in His infinite mercy, will not allow evil to prevail over light,” he said.
Wike’s statement is coming after the Rivers State House of Assembly began impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
