‘Any Party Built On Personal Ambition Will Not Last’ – Ex-Presidential Aide Writes El-Rufai

An Open Letter to Nasir El-Rufai, By Senator Babafemi Ojudu Dear Nasir, This is a letter from a friend. I take the liberty of calling you a friend because, for nearly 12 years, we walked the same political path, sharing dreams of a better Nigeria within the same party.

Debunking The Politricks Of Insecurity: Enugu State On Our Minds.

Debunking The Politricks Of Insecurity: Enugu State On Our Minds.

The story with the caption, 25 Persons Killed, Scores Injured As Armed Herdsmen Attack Enugu Village is not only built on devious masturbatory hallucination, but completely false. Agreed that lately marauding herdsmen have been running amok across the Country, invading towns and villages, and leaving a trail of sorrow, tears and blood in their path. However, there was no such invaders attack on the agrarian communities of Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area in Enugu State that left 25 persons dead. This independent rebuttal of the falsehood targeted at diminishing the halcyon strides of Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah and the Enugu State…
