They also noted that the former minister of state for education deserved no praise for the growth of the party in the state. According to a statement signed by the state publicity secretary of the APC in Rivers State, Darlington Nwajulu, on behalf of the party leaders and made available to our correspondent in Abuja, the chieftains said the formation and growth of the APC in the state took “the efforts of several loyal members, who mostly lost their lives in the struggle to ensure a solid party structure in the state.”
The party leaders further noted that it was unfair for President Bola Tinubu to reward a man who piloted affairs when the party faced a lot of onslaughts in the state.” Our growth from 2015 to 2019 was 23.8 percent, closing the huge gap of the 2015 presidential election. Then the 2023 presidential election came in with additional 80,881 votes in favor of the APC in Rivers State.

DAILY POST recalls that the president had last Thursday transmitted the list of the first batch to the upper chamber of the National Assembly for screening. The final list containing 19 names was read on the floor of the house on Wednesday by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio. Members of opposition parties had mocked Fani-Kayode, a former Minister of Ation over his absence from the lists.
FFK who has been mum on the first list has, however, congratulated the nominees saying he wishes them the very best in their service to the nation. In a tweet on Thursday morning, the former Minister declared that nominees are all excellent choices made by the president.

Sani said this against the backdrop of the decision of Nigeria to cut electricity supply to Niger, as part of the mechanism to wage war against the military rule that ousted President Mohamed Bazoum. Vanguard earlier reported Nigeria has disconnected the supply of 150 megawatts of electricity daily to Niger as part of efforts by the Economic Community of West African States, (ECOWAS) to restore democracy in that nation.
Recall that ECOWAS leaders, in their meeting on Sunday, issued a one-week ultimatum to the junta led by General Abdourahmane Tchiani to reinstate Bazoum. Reacting to a power outage in the West African country, orchestrated by Nigeria, the former Senator urged Tinubu not to be influenced by France.
