The Anambra State Government has brought to light a memo from 2006, allegedly penned by then Chief of Staff Chuks Ileogbunam, which addresses claims of unpaid salaries for workers at the state’s Water Corporation.

In the memo, the government sought the release of ₦15 million each month to ensure these workers were paid and to prevent a planned protest. (State House)

This revelation comes amid a heated dispute between the current state government and former Governor Peter Obi regarding supposed debts and outstanding liabilities from his time in office.

The situation has taken a political turn, with the APC Presidential Campaign Council urging Obi to rethink his 2027 presidential aspirations. Obi has firmly denied these allegations, asserting that he left office without any unpaid salaries, pensions, or gratuities. (Premium Times Nigeria)

So, is this all about accountability, politics, or a mix of both? And should past administrations' records influence the discussions surrounding the 2027 elections?

It's been three years since Nigeria's President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has graced the United Nations General Assembly, breaking a long-standing tradition among Nigerian leaders. Since the country embraced democracy in 1999, presidents have consistently used this global stage to connect with world leaders, promote national interests, and engage in crucial diplomatic discussions.

However, in 2024, 2025, and 2026, Tinubu chose not to attend the UNGA in person. This absence is a significant shift from the norm established by his predecessors. Instead, Vice President Kashim Shettima has taken on the role of representing Nigeria at this important international event during those years.

BREAKING: Primate Ayodele Warns Tinubu Might Not Finish Second Term If Re-Elected

Primate Elijah Ayodele has made a striking claim, stating that he received a divine message suggesting that President Bola Tinubu may not complete his second term if he secures victory in the 2027 presidential election.

Ayodele pointed out that unforeseen circumstances could arise, preventing Tinubu from fulfilling his full tenure, drawing a parallel to the situation that unfolded during the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua's administration.

The cleric went on to suggest that this scenario could lead to the formation of an “emergency government,” with Vice President Kashim Shettima stepping into the presidential role.

Ayodele firmly stands by his prophecy, cautioning that Nigerians might not anticipate such developments at this moment.

Breaking news: Kanu’s Lawyer Pushes for Appeal Court to Hear Bail Request, Calls Delay “Unjust”

Aloy Ejimakor, the attorney representing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, is urging the Court of Appeal to swiftly address his client’s bail request, labeling the ongoing delay as “an injustice.”

Ejimakor pointed out that Kanu has met all the necessary legal criteria by submitting his appeal brief, a motion for expedited hearing, and a bail application. However, he noted that the Federal Government has yet to submit its reply brief.

The lawyer also mentioned that the Court of Appeal has not set a date for either the main appeal or the bail hearing.

According to Ejimakor, Kanu’s prolonged detention without a hearing for his bail application raises serious concerns about his right to personal freedom and the right to a timely hearing.

He is therefore calling on the Court of Appeal to take immediate action and prioritize the hearing of Kanu’s bail application.

This has been the pattern of Anambra politics from Peter Obi’s era up to the present Soludo administration.

So, let’s stop pretending that Soludo invented this style of political alignment. Peter Obi started it, and the pattern has continued.

At the end of the day, politics is about choices. Get your PVC ready, go out and vote for the candidate you believe in. There is no need for endless social media wars.

Vote wisely. Let the people decide at the ballot box.

Breaking news: A US lobbying firm has declared that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's attempts to arrange a meeting with former President Donald Trump have fallen through.

According to Von Batten-Montague-York, a policy advisory and lobbying firm based in the US, the meeting was intended to gain Trump's backing for Tinubu as he gears up for Nigeria's 2027 presidential election. However, the firm claims that this effort has now hit a dead end.

They also alleged that around $9 million of Nigerian taxpayers' money was funneled into this lobbying campaign, labeling the spending as a complete waste. Furthermore, the firm suggested that Tinubu is now seen as a “liability” in the eyes of the United States, stating that any chance of Trump endorsing him for the upcoming election is now “dead.”

Anambra State's Commissioner for Information and Value Reorientation, Dr. Law Mefor, has raised concerns that former Governor Peter Obi left behind significant financial responsibilities related to the workers of the state’s Water Corporation and the Sanitation and Environmental Agency.

Mefor shared these insights during an interview on Arise TV’s The Morning Show on Friday, September 18, 2026, amidst the ongoing debate regarding the financial burdens that Governor Chukwuma Soludo's administration is said to have inherited.

He pointed out that many workers from the Water Corporation and the Sanitation and Environmental Agency have been waiting for their entitlements for several years now.

Mefor emphasized that these workers are now aging, with some still around, and he noted that the Soludo administration is actively working to address these outstanding debts.

“He also owed the staff of the Water Corporation and the Sanitation and Environmental Agency. These individuals have grown old, and many of them are still alive. Governor Soludo is making strides to resolve these liabilities,” Mefor stated.

This claim is part of a broader conflict between the Anambra State Government and Peter Obi regarding debts, salary arrears, pensions, gratuities, and other financial commitments that are reportedly tied to previous administrations. (Punch Newspapers)

BREAKING: NDC Anticipates a Bigger Win for Obi Over Tinubu in Lagos in 2027

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is predicting that Peter Obi will triumph over President Bola Tinubu and the APC in Lagos State in 2027, and by a much larger margin than the slim victory he achieved in 2023.

Osa Director, the NDC's National Publicity Secretary, emphasized that Obi’s win in 2023 wasn’t just a fluke; it truly reflected the political climate in Lagos.

The party is optimistic about replicating this success in 2027, provided the election is conducted fairly, and they are firmly against any forms of voter intimidation, violence, vote buying, or other electoral misconduct.

The NDC also asserts that the opposition has gained strength since 2023 and is committed to mobilizing efforts to safeguard their votes and supporters.

In the 2023 election, Obi garnered 582,454 votes in Lagos, narrowly defeating Tinubu, who received 572,606 votes, with a margin of just 9,848 votes.

As the 2027 election draws near, the NDC is not only aiming to secure another victory for Obi in Lagos but is also looking to significantly increase that winning margin.
