“Data analysis suggests a certainty of the prostate cancer diagnosis, a high probability of Crohn’s disease, and a likelihood of both dementia and sickle cell anemia. Each condition in itself can be seen as debilitating; together, and given the nature of cancer treatments, they are preventing Buhari from fulfilling his presidential functions.” President Muhammadu Buhari is suffering from a combination of prostate cancer, sickle cell anaemia, Crohn’s disease and dementia, a confidential study on his health made available to SaharaReporters has revealed. The report also revealed that the prostate cancer afflicting the President “may have become incurable”. To reach its conclusions, the report examined a string of issues, including the timeline of the President’s international travels alongside medical assessment, the travel patterns, information from sources in independent private hospitals and a list of doctors considered the best in the UK for the treatment of prostate cancer.

 When former Minister of Education and presidential candidate of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria, ACP, Dr. Obiageli Ezekwesili, withdrew from the presidential race ahead of the forthcoming February 2019 general elections, many were disappointed because they believed in her ideals. One of such people is music diva, Omawumi Megbele, who spoke to Showtime on why she would have voted for her if she hadn’t withdrawn from the race.                                 Omawumi “I listened to her during the presidential debate; her views, the things she said struck me, not because she is a woman but because she is experienced. She was a former minister, she has always been involved and she always speaks out when things go wrong. She was the major propaganda of the ‘Bring back our girls’ campaign; so it’s not because she is a woman. It’s because I feel that of all of them contesting for presidency, she i...

President Muhammadu Buhari is set to touch down in Lagos today to reclaim the electoral initiative in the country’s commercial capital that set the tone for his 2015 presidential victory. President Buhari’s victory in Lagos and the Southwest zone largely contributed to his emergence as president after three earlier futile attempts in 2003, 2007 and 2011. In all previous elections before 2015, he was either a distant second or third in the presidential elections in Lagos and Southwest. However, after forging a collaboration with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other leading political actors from the region he, for the first time, triumphed in the zone, winning in all but one of the six Southwest states. As presidential candidate of the newly registered All Progressives Congress, APC, he polled a total of 2,433,193 votes to defeat President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP with 1,821,416 votes. The only exception at that time was Ekiti where he lost to Jonathan. ...

                 Following the endorsement of President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election bid by the Action Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN), Dr. Oby Ezekwesili’s Red Card Movement (RCM) has adopted Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as its candidate for the February 16 presidential election. The development is coming few weeks after Ezekwesili announced that she was stepping down from her presidential race. The former Minister of Education was running for the presidency under the umbrella of the ACPN before quitting the race. The decision to quit the presidential race against her party’s wish led to ACPM’s endorsement of President Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) some weeks ago. Consequently, the RCM, which was set up by Ezekwesili, adopted Atiku of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for president. The group however disclosed during a press conference in Abuja on Friday that the former minister had resigned her membershi...

The country is once again tensed up with political activities as the general election is just a few days away. Attacks, mudslinging and outright propaganda have become rife in the polity. It is expected. It is peculiar with electioneering periods. There have been accusations, counter accusations and strong language usage against political opponents, especially between the two main opposition parties, the All Progressives Congress, APC and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the country. Only a couple of days ago, February 6th to be precise, Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai threw the entire country into haywire following his careless, reckless and self serving remark that foreigners who planned to intervene in the country’s election will return to their country in “body bags.” His words: “Those that are calling for anyone to come and intervene in Nigeria, we are waiting for the person that would come and intervene, they would go back in body bags. We are waiting for the perso...

Former president Goodluck Jonathan has said he’s in full support of the presidential bid of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and his running mate, Mr Peter Obi. Jonathan stated this in refutation of rumours making the rounds on social media that he was opposed to the emergence of Mr Obi as the vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The former president spoke in a statement signed by his media aide, Mr Ike Eze, on Friday. The statement reads, “Our attention has been drawn to a fake article circulating on line, to the effect that former President Jonathan has expressed misgivings over the emergence of Mr. Peter Obi as the Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). “The publication which was first posted on Facebook last week, claimed that the former President stated this in “a fifteen pages key note address” delivered “during the official inauguration of his foundation for the less privileged in Burkins Hall Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.” “I...
