A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from the southeast region, Innocent Nwachukwu, has predicted that the main opposition party in Nigeria will sack the All Progressive Congress-led government in 2023 polls.

He insisted that the governing party has recorded bags of colossal failures in every facet of governance of the country.

Nwachukwu regretted that the APC-led administration has murdered the peace of Nigeria as the country is faced with imminent comatose, necessitated by the dwindling economy, insecurity, Infrastructures deficits and marginalisations, and as well as successionist agitations by most ethnic nationalities in Nigeria under the watchful eye of the ruling government.

The PDP chieftain who made his feelings known in an interview with newsmen in Umuahia, the Abia State capital, on Sunday, said that the current mood of Nigerians is teethed towards ensuring the ouster of the APC Federal Government.

He stated that the citizenry can no longer stay save in the once united Nigeria, coupled with poverty and hardship which he alleged has been institutionalized by the present ruling government’s draconian policies and programmes.

He expressed optimism that the PDP will emerge stronger and solidified her goodwills among millions of Nigerians, at the end of its forthcoming national convention.

He applauded governors, federal and state lawmakers and other leaders of the party for their impressive performances in their various states despite challenges instigated by the APC which regrettably among the factors, is economic instability in the nation.

“You don’t need to be told that APC has failed woefully in all indices. The party has been unable to fix the economy it battered at the assumption of office. Insecurity is another major problem, the ruling party is incapable to bring a lasting end. Everywhere in the country has fared a share of the wicked and unwarranted killings by terrorists, bandits and Killer herders. The ruling party lacks focus towards ensuring the security of lives and property of her people.

“I strongly believe that the obvious failure and woeful failures of the government is enough to ask the governing party to start packing her loads, because, the citizens have seen differences in governance. Nigerians don’t need to be told to vote out APC. The indices are there. Under PDP, the country enjoyed a stable and robust economy where the poor and the rich meet their needs. In the current APC administration, escalating the infrastructure deficits of the nation with no commitment and sincerity to take decisive actions to address the challenges,” he said.

Nwachukwu used the medium to commend the Peoples Democratic Party-led administration in Abia State for her developmental strides, which according to him, has turned the state into becoming a safe destination for business Investments such as the ongoing establishment of Aba Economic city that has impressively encouraged and promoted the small and medium scale business enterprises, whereby thousands of Abians and residents of the state have become self-dependent and productive.

The Business Mogul further lauded the supportive role of the Abia legislative arm of government amiably led by Rt. Hon Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji, which he opined, ushered in the inflow of local and foreign business investment, and as well as Infrastructural development in God’s own state.

Nwachukwu also dismissed the boasts by major opposition parties in the state to wrest power from the PDP in the 2023 general election, stressing that long before now, the parties had been unable to gain the massive supports of Abia electorates, despite one of it controlling the affairs of the country at the centre, attributed it to lacking visionary leaderships and defined manifestos that do not capture basic needs of the Abia masses.

He posited that people are comfortable with the PDP and her governments at all levels in Abia State, as the electorates will never attempt to enthrone a political party without direction, ideas, and vision into the governorship seat of the state come 2023.

He added that the PDP’s unprecedented achievements recorded in all facets of the governance of the state would further endear the majority of electorates to retain the party in power in coming elections.

Nwachukwu, however, urged the people of the state to remain steadfast in their faiths with the PDP-led administration, reassuring that the party will never relent, but would continue with her unwavering commitment to enhancing welfare of the citizens through its visionary policies and programmes.

Primate Elijah Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church has warned President Bola Tinubu to be vigilant, stating that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is already making mistakes that could cost them victory in the 2027 elections.

According to Primate Ayodele, the APC’s national convention will mark the beginning of the party’s crisis.

“For APC, their convention is dangerous, and the convention will mark the beginning of APC’s crisis. Tinubu must not sleep because mistakes are being made already. I see serious problems in the party, but they are not yet seeing it,” he revealed.

Primate Ayodele also revealed that there are several things God has shown him regarding the 2027 elections, and more will be revealed at the launch of his annual prophecy book, “Warnings to the Nations,” on July 5, 2025.

The book, which has been published annually since 1994, features prophecies concerning various nations, world leaders, and influential individuals.

In addition to his warning to President Tinubu, Primate Ayodele advised opposition candidates against relying on their proposed coalition platform, All Democratic Alliance (ADA), saying it will fail.

Instead, he suggested they adopt the African Democratic Congress (ADC) platform, which he believes has the capacity to build something strong.

“ADA Party will not give you anything, ADC is better for a coalition front than ADA. Even SDP cannot make any tangible movement, let them use ADC so they won’t build on an infertile ground.”

The upcoming edition of “Warnings to the Nations” spans over 600 pages and features prophecies on Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election, Ghana’s President John Mahama, and prominent Nigerian billionaires such as Mike Adenuga, Aliko Dangote, and Abdul Samad Rabiu.

The book has a track record of accurately foretelling significant global events, with over 15,000 prophecies coming to pass since its inception.

Federal Capital Territory FCT minister, Nyesom Wike has begged President Bola Tinubu to release the report of the forensic audit on the Niger Delta Development Commission NDDC, which he said indicted the former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi.

Wike vowed to resign if the report is released and its contents do not indict Amaechi.

Speaking on ‘Politics Today’ on Channels Television monitored on Friday in Abuja, Wike who was responding to allegations by Amaechi that he was corrupt, said Amaechi’s wife received N4 billion monthly from the NDDC to train Niger Delta women.

He said, unlike Amaechi, he does not come from a poor background, hence his sophisticated taste.

Wike said, “First of all, Amaechi’s wife was not an industrialist. She has never been, and that is why I call on Mr President to release the forensic audit of NDDC.

“Amaechi’s wife company, every month, got N4 billion to train Niger Delta women. That is N48 billion in one year alone, and the forensic audit report is there. Who killed it? It was Malami, then the Attorney General.

“That is one of the people who is now talking. Mr President should help Nigerians. You see, this is what I have always said. Mr President should help Nigerians. Please, release the forensic audit of the NDDC.

“I have said, let Mr President please do us a favour to release that document. Former Attorney General, Malami, killed that document to protect those who were concerned.

“I am not just saying what I am saying, let them release the document. If what I am saying is not in the document, I will resign at the Minister of the FCT. I said I will resign.

“I don’t worship office. What I am saying, let them release the forensic audit of the NDDC. I didn’t say the forensic audit was right, but I said, release the report of the forensic audit.

“That is how the wife became an industrialist – N4 billion every month to train Niger Delta women”, he stated.

Wike challenged the academic qualifications of Amaechi, describing them as less than average, and also faulted Amaechi’s claim that a Senator gave him (Amaechi) a Rolls-Royce but that he does not use it.

According to the FCT minister, the vehicle was given to Amaechi by a contractor who was executing about -0 percent of the projects in Rivers state. In contrast, the former Transport Minister was the governor.

The Abure-led faction of the Labour Party has given the presidential candidate of the party in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, a 48 hours ultimatum to leave the party haven formally joined the coalition party.

This was contained in a statement signed by the faction’s National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, in Abuja, on Thursday.

He explained that the Labour Party under Abure’s leadership remains vehemently opposed to joining the coalition while dismissing members of the coalition as “power mongers whose only interest was self and not the people.”

The party warned Nigerians that the often mouthed ‘new Nigeria is Possible’ is a ruse and cannot be achieved with the assemblage of old, recycled, desperate and frustrated politicians in the coalition.

Ifoh said the party is aware that all those who mismanaged Nigeria over the years are the ones that gathered themselves in the coalition while noting that desperate politicians can’t birth new Nigeria.

He said, “We are aware of several nocturnal meetings between Peter Obi and some of our members, lobbying them to join him in his new party. We’re also aware that a number of them has refused to defect with him.

“Labour Party has consistently said it is not part of the coalition and therefore, any of our members who is part of the coalition is given within 48 hours to formally resign his membership of the party.

“Labour Party is not available for people with dual agenda, people with deceptive persona. The party will not avail itself to individuals who have one leg in one Party and another leg elsewhere.

“People who in the morning they will claim to be in the Labour Party and in the evening they are in coalition.

“Nearly 70 per cent of the Nigerian population are youths who are tired of the old order, tired of gerontocrats deciding their fate. The new Nigeria that the youths are dreaming of, is not what can be realized from what we are seeing in the coalition.

“These people are opportunistic politicians who are only interested in relaunching themselves into circle of power, people who are desperate to continue holding on to power.

“The new Nigeria of our dream can only be realised through the Labour Party, and the party is willing to lead Nigerians along that trajectory.

“I therefore urge all members of the party to remain loyal and keep the party structure intact ahead of future elections.”
