Today’s Headlines:Atiku Is Serial Loser, I’m Not Afraid Of Him-Oshiomhole;NDC Candidate Meets GEJ

Edo North Senator, Adams Oshiomhole has described Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, as a serial loser, saying he is not afraid of him ahead of the 2027 general election.

Oshiomhole stated this on Thursday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, where he said that Atiku had contested for the presidency several times and lost each time, adding that 2027 will not be different.

According to him, Atiku had no record of victory to threaten President Bola Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

He said Atiku lost in 2007, 2011, 2019 and 2023, and even left the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to join the African Democratic Congress, ADC, after losing the party’s ticket.

The Rivers State governorship candidate of the National Democratic Congress, NDC, Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs, has met with former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan ahead of the February 2027 election.

The meeting reportedly took place at Jonathan’s residence in Bayelsa State, although details of their discussions have not been made public.

However, the meeting may not be unconnected with Lulu-Briggs’ efforts to secure political support ahead of the governorship election.

Lulu-Briggs is among the top three contenders for the state’s top political seat.

President Bola Tinubu has criticised the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, over his handling of erosion in Anambra State, questioning his leadership qualities ahead of the 2027 general election.

Tinubu spoke on Friday at the All Progressives Congress rally held at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, where he urged voters not to support Obi in the forthcoming presidential election.

The President compared Obi’s record in Anambra with his own efforts to address coastal challenges in Lagos and those of Akwa Ibom Governor Umo Eno.

“He’s in one party, they called NDC, who is running for President; he ran away from erosion in Anambra State. He could not confront erosion,” Tinubu said.
