During his appearance on the MIC ON PODCAST, Ameh assured listeners that Obi is committed to remaining with the LP for the time being.

He also highlighted an existing understanding regarding a future transition. “He knows the plan and will announce it when the time is right,”

Ameh remarked, indicating that Obi’s decision will be made with careful timing and consideration.

Ameh elaborated that these discussions are part of a larger strategy to cultivate a more robust opposition coalition aimed at effectively challenging the ruling party in the upcoming 2027 elections.

He encouraged supporters to be patient and trust the process, emphasizing that any potential transition will be guided by thorough consultations and strategic planning. The focus will be on fostering national progress, unity, and credible leadership.

The Special Adviser to the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Bolaji Akinola, has sharply rebutted the claims made by Osun State governorship aspirant Senator Iyiola Omisore that Minister Alhaji Adegboyega Oyetola interfered in the All Progressives Congress (APC’s) screening process.

Akinola issued a statement on Sunday, describing Omisore’s allegations as “baseless and misleading” and “totally false.”

Omisore’s accusations followed his disqualification and that of six other aspirants from the party’s primary scheduled for December 13, 2025.

Recall that Omisore had earlier on Saturday, while speaking with newsmen in Abuja, criticised his disqualification from the party’s Osun governorship primary, calling the decision “a huge joke” and accusing the screening panel of being biased and engaging in procedural violations. He said they acted under pressure to disqualify aspirants in favor of a particular candidate.

Akinola, speaking on behalf of Minister Oyetola, firmly distanced the Minister from the controversial screening decisions:

He stated that Oyetola, who is a former Governor of Osun State, “had no role, whether direct or indirect, in the Screening Committee’s decisions” regarding the upcoming primary.

Akinola emphasized that the Screening Committee and the Screening Appeal Panel are independent organs of the APC, constitutionally empowered to function without external interference.

He maintained that Oyetola is committed to fairness, transparency, and strict adherence to party rules, principles he would never compromise.

The Special Adviser asserted that as a respected leader, Oyetola remains committed to internal democracy and urged all aspirants to use the party’s established internal mechanisms to channel their complaints, rather than resorting to public allegations.

President Bola Tinubu yesterday commended the gallantry of Nigeria’s military for responding swiftly to the request by the Government of the Benin Republic to save its 35-year-old democracy from coup plotters, who struck at dawn yesterday.

A statement by his Special Adviser to the President, Information & Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said the Federal Government, “Acting on two separate requests from the Government of Benin, President Tinubu first ordered Nigerian Air Force fighter jets to enter the country and take over the airspace to help dislodge the coup plotters from the National TV and a military camp where they had regrouped.“
