SARAKI, ONE OF MOST INFLUENTIAL POLITICIANS IN NIGERIA TODAY - BUHARI - VANGUARD NEWS

This one has moved beyond a party matter. Saraki has effectively conducted a coup against Buhari, and right now, Buhari's hands are tied and Buhari knows it.

Saraki is now negotiating with NLC and ASUU on when to strike and not strike; unilaterally rejecting Magu based on a DSS report (that I guess Buhari did not see before sending Magu's name to the senate for confirmation! Jesu!); unilaterally rejecting the request for loan.... etc. etc. Buhari has now become a lame duck.... unable to do nada.

Saraki is fully in charge of Nigeria. That is just the way it is. And, it is not surprising, because Saraki is a deft political operator. As the chairman of the governor's forum, he operated as a capo de tuti. Ultimate gangsta. Pocketed all of the other governors, and wielded the powers of that position with precision. He is doing the same as Senate president.

The leadership of the NASS has taken control. Buhari is fumbling. It started with the crazy lopsided appointments he made in his bid to unify the old North. And things have gotten progressively worse. How can one explain that the DSS under the control of Buhari did not send a letter disapproving Magu's nomination to Buhari but the same DSS will send a letter disapproving of Magu to Saraki?!?! Did Buhari not ask the DSS for a security vetting on Magu?

Anyway egbon, na siddon look mode now o..... Like Nigerians like to say: "it is well".

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...

THE ENDURING LEGACY OF LEADERSHIP: Chief James Ibori Celebrated for His Impact on Delta State

On Friday, May 31st, during the funeral service for the Late Asagba of Asaba, the essence of true leadership was vividly displayed. The service featured the introduction of various dignitaries, including Senator George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation who represented President Bola Tinubu, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Governor Godwin Obaseki, and Former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa. As each dignitary was introduced, the church remained silent. However, the atmosphere dramatically changed when the name of Former Governor James Ibori was announced; the congregation erupted in wide jubilation and applause. This reaction was so profound that even Senator George Akume and Governor Obaseki could not hide their astonishment. The enthusiastic reception for Chief James Ibori during this solemn occasion highlighted his enduring legacy among the people of Delta State.
