APC Crisis: Plot to Replace Adamu with a Christian Chairman Thickens

 

After recent plans by various stakeholders to unseat the National Chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, the leadership crisis that has been rocking the All Progressives Congress, APC, may have taken on a new turn.

At a convention held on March 26 to elect members of the APC National Working Committee NWC, Adamu was successfully re-elected to his position as national chairman of the party.

However, despite the growing number of complaints that were lodged against Adamu, there were no moves made to remove him from his position.

It became clear over the course of the weekend that certain APC stakeholders were attempting to appease the Christian bloc within the party by working to remove the party chairman from his position as part of a problem-solving effort. The objective, according to a senior member of the APC who spoke anonymously to the media, was to strike a better balance of power within the party.

The leader of the party stated, "Yes, there are those who feel that the controversy generated by our Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket can be lessened by having a Christian chairman and also proposing a Christian Chief of Staff to the President." The leader of the party also added, "Yes, there are those who feel that the controversy generated by our Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket can be lessened by having a Some people have suggested that James Faleke, a member of Congress, should be considered for that position, which is Chief of Staff. There are questions that need to be answered before Adamu can continue to serve as chair of the party. The first is that it is necessary for us to appease the members of the Christian community. Second, considering that we are in the midst of an election season, many of us had high hopes for Adamu, but he hasn't accomplished very much. We absolutely require the functioning of the party's bureaucracy during this election cycle; however, their salaries are not even being paid, and yet you expect them to perform effectively.

 That is one thing that could be used against the chairman in the upcoming election. In addition to that, before he was elected as the national chairman of the party, he served as the chairman of the APC National Reconciliation Committee. 

We anticipated that by this point, he would have been able to settle the major disagreements; however, that has not been the case. President Muhammadu Buhari, the leader of our party, has also urged us to return the money that was paid by aspirants at the convention that resulted in Adamu being elected as national chairman. Candidates have already paid millions of dollars, but we have not yet given them a refund. These are some of the problems that have arisen."

Another complaint levelled against Adamu was that the party has not yet complied with the presidential order to refund the nomination fees paid by all aspirants at the party's March 26 National Convention who stepped down in favour of the party's consensus arrangement. President Buhari issued this directive more than four months ago, but the party has not yet refunded the money.

As a consequence of the party's arrangement for reaching consensus, the party was obligated to compensate those aspirants from the ward to the national level who were required to step down for the benefit of others.

In addition, during the course of the previous two months, the party had failed to honour the scheduled payment of staff salaries.

According to a second source, "the salary for the month of June was paid in the middle of July, while the staff only received their pay for the month of July last Friday, as opposed to payment on the 25th of every month."

It should be recalled that in an effort to perfect a consensus arrangement in advance of the party's March 27 National Convention, President Buhari, at a meeting on March 23 with eight national chairmanship aspirants at the Villa, persuaded them to step down for a consensus candidate with a promise of a refund of their nomination fee. "It should be recalled that in an effort to perfect a consensus arrangement in advance of the party's March 27 National Convention, President Buhari, at a meeting

After being contacted, Salihu Lukman, the National Vice Chairman of the party for the North West, expressed regret over the delay in payment and stated that the matter was being investigated.

Lukman is quoted as saying, "It is an unfortunate part of the internal challenges. From an administrative standpoint, this issue ought to have been resolved a long time ago. For example, in my situation, approximately four people have stepped aside for me, and they have been talking to me about it.

I have been bringing this matter to the attention of the party, and I believe that it is now abundantly clear that the party must find a solution to it as soon as humanly possible. I am able to give you my word.

Kizz Daniel Stages Free Show for Tanzanians

 

On Friday, August 12, 2022, the singer Oluwatobiloba Anidugbe, better known by his stage name Kizz Daniel, made good on his promise to perform for free for his fans in Tanzania, despite the fact that he had previously let them down.

The singer gave an impressive performance, much to the delight of his adoring fans, who participated in the show by singing along to several of the singer's popular songs, such as Buga, Oshe, Mama, and Yeba.

During one portion of his set, he paused for a moment and addressed the audience, saying, "I want to know if I have the real Kizz Daniel fans in the building tonight." I am addressing the fans from 2014 because I want to put you all to the test, and in order to move on to the next round, you must demonstrate that you are up to the challenge. Are you prepared to do well on the examination?

Following that, he gave a performance of several of his other popular songs, including Woju, Laye, and One Ticket. His performance, on the other hand, was marred by several interruptions caused by the poor sound produced by the technical crew. Because of technical difficulties, he was forced to disband his live band and instead rely on the DJ for the remainder of his performance.

When he apologised for not performing the previous Sunday and then brought out the flag of Tanzania on stage, it was one of the most memorable moments of the performance. In addition to that, he was dressed in the colours that are found on the national flag.

After he finished performing Buga, he said, "I think I have to come back because I owe you guys a proper show because this sound is not making me enjoy my performance tonight." He was referring to the fact that the sound was preventing him from enjoying his performance tonight. I have sworn to each and every one of you that I will return. I adore you, and I'd like to express my gratitude to you and the promoters for being here tonight.

 Recall that the singer was supposed to perform at a show in the East African nation on Sunday, August 7, 2022, but he did not show up to fulfil his obligation to do so. This infuriated fans, some of whom proceeded to destroy property at the venue where the show was being held. As a direct result of this, the police took the singer into custody.

 Annie Idibia, a well-known actress in Nigeria, has given her response to the rumours that her husband, Tuface Idibia, fathered a child with a banker.

It was widely reported in the media that Tuface fathered a child by a banker just a short time after apologising to his wife Annie and their children for being a "shitty" husband and father. The apology had been made to the family shortly after the event. This report quickly gained widespread attention across social media.

However, in her response, Annie called the report "fake news" and stated that the rumour has been going around since 2014.

"As in 2014 this supposed "Banker" dey carry belle o lol, Just can't with malicious humans," the message reads.

Annie Ididbia was very clear that the rumour was not based in reality. She pleaded with the general public to disregard the false information.

In a statement released on Saturday, 2Baba's manager, Efe Omorogbe, responded by claiming that the report was a fabrication of fake news.
