Aso Rock Villa PHOTO: PHILIP OJISUA • Crisis Is Self-inflicted — Oyegun • We Shall Overcome It, Says Momoh  WATCHERS of the fast-paced and intriguing drama in the National Assembly and in the ranks of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in recent weeks may conclude that the scenes foreshadow more crisis for the ruling party. Having cut short at the polls script by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to rule the country for 'the next 60 years', the APC appeared unprepared for the serious task of putting its actors on the stage. The fallout was last week's shameful climax when members of the House of Representatives threw decorum to the bins, exchanging expletives and punches. "What is happening is realpolitik and struggle for power. It is a storm in a teacup, and will soon die. It is not new at all. And I can assure you that it will not stop the APC and President Muhammadu Buhari from performing," said Former Minister of Information and National Executiv...

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lauded the Osun state House of Assembly for commencing impeachment proceedings against Governor Rauf Aregbesola, describing it as a welcomed development to save the state. The Judge of the state, Justice Oloyede Folahanmi, had earlier petitioned the state House of Assembly asking the members to institute impeachment proceedings against the governor and his deputy over alleged mismanagement of the state's financial resources in accordance with Sections 128 and 129 of the 1999 constitution. Reacting to the proceedings, the PDP in a statement has berated that governor for his inability to pay the salaries of civil servants in the state, which it said were now "refugees in their own land, living on handouts from compassionate religious and corporate bodies". The party, according to Vanguard, says the governor is clueless on how to turn around the economic fortunes of the state, adding that Aregbesola himself had alluded to this i...

This was made even clearer by the President choosing Fashola to accompany him to the G7 summit in Germany. Lagos State Governor,   Babatunde Fashola is expected to hold a key position in the government of President   Muhammadu Buhari This was made even clearer by the President choosing Fashola to accompany him to the G7 summit in Germany. The chemistry between the two men while at the summit shows that they are both on the same mental ship. Earlier rumours had it that Fashola was meant to be Buhari's deputy but he could not be chosen because he and the President are of the same religion. Reports also have it that the former governor is being considered to occupy the position of Chief of Staff to the President but many Nigerians believe that he would serve better in a ministerial position. Meanwhile, Buhari's media aide,  Garba Shehu  has urged Nigerians to be patient with the President as choosing advisers and ministers is not a process to be rushed.
