Ex-Governor Nasir El-Rufai defected to the Social Democratic Party (SDP), and his son, Bashir El-Rufai, has been posting political tweets aimed at the supporters of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

In one of his tweets, Bashir praised Peter Obi, the former Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, saying his views about him had changed.

Reacting to his father’s defection via his X account, the ex-governor’s son said APC members p0isoned his mind against Obi.

He tweeted, “Peter Obi is surprisingly not a bad person after all. My views on him have changed recently. My mind was p0isoned by my former party members. Sai Obi!”

In another tweet, Bashir called out to young Nigerians to join his father’s new party, saying, there would be “an online platform for all prospective SDP members to register and join by the end of this week.”

However, Daniel Bwala, President Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, has described El-Rufai’s defection to the Social Democratic Party (SDP) as an inordinate ambition destined to fail.

Bwala said that El-Rufai would be reminded that associating with “sore l0sers to unseat” President Bola Tinubu is neither an ideology nor progressivism.

Reacting to the development in a tweet, Bwala wrote: He tweeted, “Senior, @elrufai. I read the news today that you resigned from APC to join SDP. Well, I have nothing against you because you exercised your constitutional right.

However, the MOTIVE is what we would interrogate in the coming days and remind Nigerians that you are not a phenomenon that emerges like a clap of thunder out of a blue sky.

We would intellectually remind you that associating with sore losers to unseat the incumbent is not an IDEOLOGY, neither is it PROGRESSIVISM; It is simply an inordinate AMBITION that is destined to fail.”

Some Nigerians are calling for the ãrrest of Very Dark Man over the statements he made against Tinubu and his son Seyi. He said

""Seyi Tinubu,Your father is old, and the people around him, their bra!ns are dusty with cobwêbs and even you as Nigerian youth leader are not useful to us".

Recall that few days ago, VDM traveled to China and since his stay, he has been calling out Nigerian government, with claims that every Nigerian should go to China and see what it means to have a developed country with working government.

Meanwhile, what he said about Nigerian president and his son didn't go down well for some individuals who want him arréstéd with claims that Seyi Tinubu has been doing his best for Nigerians in terms of empowerments, feeding the hungry, and housing the homéléss ones

What is the difference between Jonathan and Tinubu?

Answer: Jonathan was in office while Tinubu is in power.
You can be a president for 10 years and you are in office but spend just 2 years as the president and be in power.
Note that difference deeply.

The Chairman of the Senate Committee on North Central Development Commission (NCDC), Senator Titus Zam, Benue North West (APC), has said that the NCDC will help rebuild the zone.

Sen Zam, who disclosed this during the funeral oration for the late Tyoor Augustine Azer Tingir, District Head of Saghev/Ukusu at Naka, Gwer West Local Government Area (LGA) of Benue State, further said the commission will also help tackle the challenges of insecurity facing north-central Nigeria.

Nigeria's President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (PBAT) signed into law a bill establishing the NCDC on February 4, 2025. Senator Zam is the pioneer Senate Committee Chairman of the commission.

"With this commission, I know that there is somewhere to run to," Senator Zam told his audience, noting that a similar commission in the South and North East is developing the aforementioned regions.

According to the Benue North West Senator, the problems facing the zone will soon be tackled. He explained that by Tuesday next week, the budget for the commission will be presented before the National Assembly, and once passed, funding will be available for the commission to take off.

Already, political leaders in the zone have met to fine-tune arrangements for the NCDC's smooth takeoff.

Benue State Governor, Fr. Hyacinth Alia, said after the meeting that the leaders met to chart "the best path forward for the NCDC to drive security, economic growth, and sustainable development across the North Central Zone in our collective quest to strengthen the region, provide lasting solutions to our challenges, and unlock opportunities for our people."

There’s no much difference between Buhari, Tinubu, Atiku and Obi. The difference are Barawo, Alpha Beta, SPV and family business enterprise. It’s a battle of lesser evil among them and their supporters. Nobody who is genuinely tired of scammers and bad leaders will support them.
