The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, in the last election, Omoyele Sowore, has slammed the immediate past governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike and other members of the G-5 over their recent meeting with President Bola Tinubu.

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, former governors who are now called the ‘G-String’, met with the president in Abuja on Thursday.

Reacting to the meeting, Sowore in a tweet on his official handle, name the former governors “Hustlers United, alleging that “Wike is now dealing with the reality of his wicked and corrupt existence.”

The tweet reads, “FROM G-5 TO G-STRING: HUSTLERS UNITED! From so-called Powerful “G-5” Governors to Perforated G-String Ex-Governors (except for Makinde who is a serving governor).

“The hustle is real. @GovWike is now dealing with the reality of his wicked and corrupt existence, just like the ex-Abia Gov. Isi-Slippers, and that loudspeaker and Mr. Do-Nothing from Benue who used “Fulani” as an excuse to never get anything done, not even salaries of his workers. Like the Bourbons of France, “They had learned nothing and forgotten nothing.” [sic].

After weeks of speculations over its stand on the leadership of the 10th National Assembly, the Peoples Democratic Party has said the ruling All Progressives Congress would find itself a minority party on the floor of both houses on Tuesday, having entered into a working agreement with other opposition parties ahead of the inauguration of the parliament.

The spokesman of the party, Debo Ologunagba, disclosed this on Thursday at a press conference at the party’s national secretariat, Abuja.

Although the main opposition’s scribe did not disclose if the PDP would field candidates for both positions, he noted that the situation would be clearer on Tuesday when the 10th Assembly would be inaugurated.

Maryam Abacha, wife of the late Nigeria’s military Head of State, late General Sani Abacha, has said that since after the death of her husband, she has never missed the Presidential Villa.

She stated so while speaking to BBC Hausa about her experiences as the former first lady of Nigeria.

She said that being at the Villa was just part of her usual life experience because even before marrying General Abacha, she had lived in different parts of Nigeria with her father who was a career civil servant.

She said, “I am used to all the negative things Nigerians have been saying about my husband, and that is a normal thing with politicians. We are human beings, people will always say different things. Good and bad. Look at what’s happening in Kano, and even at the national level. So people will always talk. But when we were ruling, nobody was saying anything. Nobody talked. So that’s governance. Every government comes with its own pecks.
