BREAKING: Wike Fires Back After PDP Threatened G5

Wike To Have His Way: Atiku Seeks Ayu’s resignation as BoT Chairman has quitted his post.

News ToGo learned that a Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic, Katch Ononuju, has said that the presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar, wants the national chairman of the party, Iyorchia Ayu, to resign so that he can have a peaceful party that will win the 2023 presidential election.

Ononuju was speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily, where he was addressing the crisis rocking the party as well as the issues between the Atiku and the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike. “From my own insider information, the candidate wants Mr Ayu to resign but there are hawks in the party who are telling them, ‘Ayu, don’t resign’. I don’t know why.

The candidate wants Mr Ayu to leave so that he could have a peaceful party to go to the election,” Ononuju said Thursday on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme. “If Atiku keeps saying he is a unifier, let him now unify the party by taking decisions and also acting to aid the southerners in this issue of inclusion,” he added. He stated that Atiku did not just need to wish, but work towards unifying the party.

“He doesn’t just need to wish, he should work and act in aiding the stability in the party by working with others to ensure that Mr Ayu leaves so that the party can be stable,” he said. He said Ayu is the reason for the current internal implosion of the party.

“If he (Ayu) stays, he divides the party; if he stays, the party could lose. If he stays, the party implodes with the staying put.” Ononuju said the agitation for a southerner to replace Ayu was also beyond Wike, saying it was a collective demand by the southern caucus of the PDP who did not want a northerners in the three top positions of the party as it is presently.

Ayu had insisted all along that he was not going to resign. Going by what Ononuju disclosed, things may change and that would enable Wike to have his way having insisted that Ayu must resign before he and his allies can back Atiku. Recall that the Chairman of PDP Board of Trustees (BoT), Walid Jibrin just resigned from his post. All these moves may bring balance in PDP composition as Wike and his camp are pushing.

BREAKING: Tinubu's Minister Who Collapsed During Screening Reveals Why

Tinubu’s Minister who collapsed during Senate screening has revealed why it happened.

News ToGo reports that Abbas Balarabe, the newly confirmed Minister from Kaduna State, has clarified the reason behind his collapse during his Senate screening. He explained that his fainting spell was due to sheer exhaustion as he had been informed of his nomination just the previous day and stayed awake all night preparing for the screening.

Overwhelmed by the workload and lack of rest, he slumped during the session. He expressed his gratitude to the Senate, especially the senators from his state, Kaduna, for their understanding and support. Balarabe assured everyone that he was now in good health, emphasizing that his collapse was solely due to exhaustion and nothing more.

Earlier during his screening, the nominee, who had replaced former Kaduna state governor Nasir El-Rufai, had suddenly collapsed, causing a temporary commotion in the Senate.

BREAKING: CSU Finally Releases Tinubu's Record, Gender Reads Female

CSU has finally released Tinubu’s records.

News ToGo learned that Chicago State University (CSU) has complied with a court order to release the academic records of President Bola Tinubu, as requested by Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the recent elections.

Following a directive from the US district court for the northern district of Illinois over the weekend, CSU provided the requested academic records.

TheCable reports that the university confirmed that the format of the certificate in question matched Tinubu’s replacement dated June 27, 1997. However, the gender raises doubt. This is because Tinubu filled ”Male” and the university in the new document addressed him as ”Mr”, but some transcripts reportedly show ”F” which suggests ”Female”. This raises doubt in the issue.

However, Atiku and his legal team are following up on the issue after alleging serious discrepancies in Tinubu’s academic records. They also claim that those inconsistencies will help them prove that he was not fit to contest for President of Nigeria.

Recall that Tinubu made serious effort to block the release of his records but the US courts ruled in Atiku’s favour. Atiku and his legal team will now go ahead to prove their case concerning the inconsistencies they discovered.
