Wike accused of having more than half leg in APC

Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of Naira Times, Ehi Braimah, has said that Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Minister, Nyesom Wike, is contributing to the prolonged crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Braimah suggested that Wike has aligned himself more with the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Breakfast Show on Friday, Braimah said politicians, alongside the judiciary, were weakening Nigeria’s democratic institutions.

Braimah noted that Wike has continued to destabilise the PDP while maintaining ties with the APC.

He lamented that the PDP has remained in crisis since the 2023 presidential election and has failed to discipline erring members.

“Politicians are the greatest threat against our democracy. Unfortunately, the judiciary is being used as a partner in making democratic democratic institutions very, very weak.

“Now even talk about PDP. PDP, unfortunately, is being in a crisis mode for as long as I can remember, since the last presidential election; an institution whereby they cannot even discipline some of their members, all we hear is, oh, they will do this, they will do that. But I heard some of them coming out forcefully recently, saying that the convention must hold.

“The FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, I think has been a big problem for that party. Unfortunately, they’ve not been able to tame the FCT minister, so to speak. I use that word advisably. I see the FCT minister from time to time…, and now they have even given conditions for the convention to hold in November in Ibadan. That is not necessary.

“Maybe there is a deliberate plan to weaken PDP so that the ruling party, APC, you know, will just have it very smoothly in 2027. Maybe that is the role Wike is playing, you know, by having one leg in PDP and one leg in APC,” he said.

“The actual fact is that he has more than half leg in APC and just half leg in PDP. Everything he’s doing with his associates is just to create crisis within the party, you know, non ending crisis.”

Braimah also criticised Nigerian politicians generally, accusing them of being self-serving.

“But politicians generally, they are not helping our case. They are so self centered. They are selfish. They just think about themselves,” he added.

2027 election: INEC releases fresh number of associations seeking to become political parties

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has said that a total of 171 associations have writing the Commission seeking to be registered as new political parties.

The commission made this known on Thursday after its weekly meeting in Abuja, adding that 19 more letters of intent were received.

INEC said that as at September 3, 2025, a total of 171 letters of intent have been received.

The commission said that the list has already been uploaded on its website.

The commission had earlier said that a shortlist of the pre-qualified associations is being finalised for the next stage of application for registration, insisting not applicants were able to meet the requirements for the registration of a new political party.

The apex electoral body appealed to the associations to exercise a little more patience as their applications are being treated accordingly.

“Worse, some associations have changed their interim leadership, following defections to other associations or even existing political parties, thereby delaying the process,” the Commission added.

The electoral umpire said that Nigerian would be informed of any step it takes during the process and other activities of the commission.

Everyone knows where bandits are – Kabiru Adamu

Kabiru Adamu security analyst, has stated that authorities are already informed on the whereabouts of the bandits as well as the activities across the security sector but lacks the accountability which remains a challenge.

Speaking on Channels Tv morning Brief on Friday, He explained that with proper accountability had been in place, we would not be where we are today.

“Everyone within the security space knows where the bandits are. Beyond their physical presence, there is also knowledge of their business activities.

“So, the governor’s statement is correct. What is missing is accountability within the security system.”

He recalled that as far back as 2019, the military identified 60 bases belonging to bandits, yet there has been no clear report on how many of those bases have been destroyed.

“It would be interesting for the military to explain to Nigerians how many of those 60 identified bases were neutralised between 2019 and 2023, and how many have been destroyed since this current administration came on board,” he said.

Adamu stressed that the problem is not a lack of information but a failure to hold security agencies accountable.

He urged the National Assembly to step up its monitoring and oversight functions.

“If proper accountability and oversight had been in place, we would not be where we are today. At the very least, the violence should be contained to create space for other peacebuilding measures to take place,” he added.
