10th NASS leadership: APC Chieftain Accuses Yari of playing Labour Party Script
By Lateef Bamgbose
The Coordinator of the Tinubu/ Shetima Presidential Campaign in the North -East, Haruna Garus Gololo, on Friday called on the leadership of the All progressives Congress ( APC), to put Abubakar Yari in check, ahead of the inauguration of the 10th National Assembly on Tuesday June 13.
In a statement he circulated to journalists in Abuja, Gololo, accused the Senator-elect for Zamfara West Senatorial District playing a dangerous script to distablise the President Bola Tinubu’s administration by insisting on running for the Office of the President of the Senate, against the wishes of the Party.
” Yari, Senator Kalu are working for the Labour Party ( LP), presidential Candidate, they are working to discredit Senator Godswill Akpabio and President Tinubu”
” They have also engaged the service of Chuks Akuna, a hiring to discredit Akpabio, but we are not surprised that Chuks went to AIT during a Newspaper review to say Akpabio will be a yes Senate president”
” The sponsor of this blackmail, Abubakar Yari, is aware he doesn’t have Akpabio’s credentials and credibility, other wise those that have been following events in AIT would know Chuks has been speaking for Peter Obi and their Obidients army of failed politicians”
” The script keeps growing by days. What is Northern Elders business with the decision of APC, a party they never work for? Baba Ahmed the self acclaimed Northern Elders Forum and Professor Ango Abdullahi, have suddenly recovered from the shock after the presidential election, which Peter Obi and Datti Ahmed , Baba Ahmed younger brother lost to say the presidency should not interfer in the election of the leadership of the National Assembly “
He said: “Yari’s position and continuous insistence is a mutiny and should be treated as anti-party. The party has in its wisdom, zone the leadership of the Senate and the House to the South and the North West respectively, but Yari is bent on working against the decision of the party. .
“It is consistent with his antics as a politician. Recalled he had threatened the former National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshomole, not to enter Zamfara State after conducting a sham primary that later cost the party it’s victory at the Supreme Court. He is back on this path of infamy.
“Every party supporter and lawmaker-elect should support the decision of the leadership of the party by working for the emergence of Senator Godswill Akpabio and Jubrin Barau for the Senate President and Deputy Senate President and in the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas for the Speaker and Hon. Benjamin Kalu as the choice for Deputy Speaker.
“In terms of pedigree, Yari just acquired a Diploma from a polytechnic, in Talata Mafara. Godwsill Akpabio apart from his uncommon transformation of Akwa-Ibom State, he is a senior lawyer. The business of National Assembly should not be exclusive reserve of those who think they can buy the lawmakers. It is a serious business.
“We are behind Akpabio and we will continue to support him, because there is no justifiable reason for Yari’s continuous insistence other than to work against the Party and Tinubu’s administration.”

Nigeria at 66: ‘We Must Not Lose Faith in Nigeria’ — FCC Boss Omidiran
Joel Ajayi
The Executive Chairman of the Federal Character Commission (FCC), Honorable Hulayat Motunrayo Omidiran, has called on Nigerians to use the occasion of the nation’s 66th Independence Anniversary to renew their faith in Nigeria, strengthen national unity and recommit themselves to building a more inclusive and prosperous country.
In her 66th Independence Day message, Hon. Omidiran described October 1 as more than a celebration of freedom, saying the anniversary provides an opportunity for Nigerians to reflect on the country’s journey, acknowledge its progress and challenges, and renew the collective determination to build a nation where every citizen has a sense of belonging.
According to the FCC Executive Chairman, the Federal Character Principle remains particularly important to the quest for national cohesion because equitable representation promotes a sense of ownership and confidence in the Nigerian project.
“Nigeria is a nation of great diversity and
enormous potential. Our responsibility is to ensure that this diversity becomes a bridge that connects us rather than a barrier that separates us. Every Nigerian deserves to feel that he or she belongs to this country and has a role to play in its development,” Omidiran said.
The FCC boss called on government institutions at all levels to remain committed to fairness, equity, accountability and inclusive governance, while urging citizens to support efforts aimed at strengthening national institutions and promoting peaceful coexistence.
“We must not lose faith in Nigeria. The challenges before us are real, but so are the opportunities and the enormous human and natural resources available to us. Every citizen has a responsibility to contribute his or her own quota to building the Nigeria we desire,” she stated.
The FCC Executive Chairman also urged young Nigerians to remain committed to acquiring knowledge and skills, entrepreneurship, innovation, sports and other productive ventures, describing the youth as critical stakeholders in the country’s future.
“As we celebrate 66 years of independence, let us remember that the Nigeria we want cannot be built by government alone. It requires the commitment of all of us – leaders and citizens, young and old, from every part of the federation. Together, we can build a Nigeria where justice, fairness, opportunity and peace are available to all,” she said.
Omidiran reaffirmed the FCC’s commitment to the effective discharge of its constitutional mandate and to supporting efforts that promote equitable representation and inclusive national development across the federation.
The former lawmaker wished Nigerians at home and abroad a peaceful and memorable 66th Independence Anniversary, praying for continued peace, stability, prosperity and progress for the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“Our differences should never be greater than our common identity as Nigerians. Let us continue to choose unity over division, service over self-interest and hope over despair. The Nigeria of our dreams is possible if we all play our part,” Omidiran said.
“On behalf of the Federal Character Commission, I congratulate all Nigerians on this 66th Independence Anniversary. May this occasion renew our patriotism, strengthen our unity and inspire us to work together for a stronger, more equitable and prosperous Nigeria. May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” she added.
