Vice-presidential candidate of the ADC Rotimi Amaechi has called on opposition parties to work together ahead of the 2027 general election, saying unity is the only way to defeat the ruling APC.

Amaechi made the appeal while receiving a faction of the PDP led by Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, who paid him a condolence visit following the death of his mother, Dame Ezinne Mary Amaechi.

He urged opposition leaders to set aside their differences and form a common front, warning that division would make it easier for the APC to remain in power.

According to him, opposition parties should continue working together as the election approaches and put the interests of Nigerians above personal political ambitions.

He stressed that a divided opposition would struggle to challenge the APC at the polls.

Amaechi also spoke about the role his late mother played in his life, describing her dedication and sacrifices as key to his upbringing.

Speaking during the visit, Turaki expressed sympathy to Amaechi and his family over the loss.

“Nothing prepares anybody for the loss of a parent, especially a mother. So, we can only imagine the deep loss and grief that you and your family are going through,” he said.

He also recalled Amaechi’s years in the PDP, adding, “As a party on whose platform you served the good people of Rivers State as Speaker and later as governor, we share in your grief and encourage you to be strong, knowing the certainty of death and its role as a window to immortality.”

The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has said the order of President Bola Tinubu to
reverse the freezing of the Osun State Government’s accounts was a result of public outrage rather than voluntary act.

This is contained in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, on Thursday.

The City Boy Movement has sacked its Oyo State Coordinator, Ahmed Ajibola, for allegedly insulting President Bola Tinubu, Seyi Tinubu and the leadership of the movement.

This is contained in a statement by the movement’s Director-General, Francis Shoga, on Thursday.

According to the statement, Ajibola’s removal came barely two months after he was issued a formal notice to respond to several allegations contained in a petition submitted against him.

“On the 2nd of June, 2026, a notice signed by the Director-General of the City Boy Movement, Hon. Francis Oluwatosin Shoga, Ajibola was accused of making abusive, insulting and derogatory remarks against the national leadership of the Movement, including the Director-General,” the statement said.

It added that the petition also alleged that the sacked coordinator made offensive comments concerning the Movement’s Patron, Seyi Tinubu and directed derogatory remarks at President Bola Tinubu.

The statement further said that he engaged in acts of insubordination and disrespect towards constituted authority.

According to the statement, Ajibola also challenged a leader of the movement in the state to a physical confrontation and engaged in conduct capable of bringing the image and reputation of the City Boy Movement into disrepute.

“The Movement had directed Ajibola to submit a written defence within 48 hours, warning that failure to provide a satisfactory response could result in further disciplinary action,” it added.
