ex vice president- Atiku A presidential aspirant and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar yesterday said corruption thrived more in the present government than any other since 1999. He said the coming together of 40 political parties was to rescue the country and return it to the path of progress for the good of her people.

They are more corrupt than any government that I know since 1999 and we shall be revealing their level of corruption.

The afro beat singer, multi talented instrumentalist and son of the late legend, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, told Yori Folarin, anchor of the programme 'THIS MORNING' which airs on TVC when a phone call was put across to him as part of celebrations marking the grand visit of the French president, Macron, to the Afrika shrine that Tinubu was a big threat to the survival of the dream in setting up the African shrine which was meant to immortalize the great legend, Fela. Femi also disclosed to Folarin that after Tinubu left office Fashola continued in his stead but after a massive protest and appeal by artistes around the world, he succumbed to their request.

'Gang up' against Buhari won't work - APC

Image
Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) party on Tuesday dismissed several challenges to President Muhammadu Buhari after a new opposition alliance formed to try to prevent him from being re-elected to a second term next year. More than 30 parties, including the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Monday announced they were teaming up against Buhari for next February’s vote. That followed the creation last week of a splinter group within the APC of disaffected members who criticised Buhari’s three years in power as “a monumental disaster”. But APC spokesman Bolaji Abdullahi said both developments would have no effect. “We are confident that no level of gang-up can make our government under President Buhari waiver in its promises to Nigerians to rid our country of corruption and improve the quality of lives for our people,” he said in a statement. Buhari in 2015 became the first opposition candidate to defeat a sitting presid
