2027: History won’t be kind to Peter Obi for leaving ADC – Babajide Balogun

Image
A public affairs analyst, Babajide Balogun, has reacted to the exit of former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, from the African Democratic Congress, ADC. DAILY POST recalls that Peter Obi, on Sunday, announced his defection from the ADC. Reacting, Balogun said Nigeria does not need political tourists drifting from platform to platform in search of the easiest path. It needs fighters, leaders who can stand, contend, and win on merit. According to him, the opposition in Nigeria does not need escape artists but fighters. Nigeria deserves far better. “When the final chapter of Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s presidency is written, history will not be kind to Peter Obi. It will record, plainly and without sentiment, that his political choices helped fracture a winnable opposition and paved the way for the very outcome his supporters now lament. “Rather than strengthening the coalition, Obi and his camp ignited a rebellion from within,” he said. Earlier, Bayo Onanuga, spokesperson to the pres...

Ogidi’s body not missing, awaiting autopsy in mortuary – Police

Image
The Delta State Police Command has said the body of Oghenemine Ogidi, a young man allegedly killed by police officers, is not missing but currently deposited in a mortuary within the state. The clarification followed reports circulating on social media claiming that the deceased’s family had been denied access to his remains and that the police could not account for the body. Reacting to the claims, the Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, dismissed the reports as false and misleading. In a post on his official X handle on Friday, Edafe stated that the remains are available and accessible to the family. “His body is at the mortuary, and the family have been told that whenever they want to see it, they will be allowed to,” he wrote. He explained that the matter is being treated as a suspected murder case, which legally requires further examination. “It’s a case of suspected murder, so an autopsy is compulsory, and the family also agreed to this,” he added.
