El-Rufai’s Son, Tunde Bakare and Sowore, By Azu Ishiekwene

No Yoruba President In Nigeria For Another 20 Years, By Femi Aribisala
...it will be the turn of a Southerner to be president again in 2023. That Southerner must, without controversy, be an Igbo man. Any right-thinking Nigerian must see that it is not only high time for this to happen, it is essential for our national integration. It will also signal…
Ndume Versus Lawan: The Danger Ahead, By Azu Ishiekwene
Since indifference is proving to be as deadly as meddling, a viable way to manage the chaos would be to let the candidates test their strength at the zones. The irony of these matters is that we may never see the real demons in the candidates - and that includes…
