How I carried out mandate to deliver APC Presidential ticket to South-West by former APC National Secretary, amid pronouncement by then Party Chairman of Sen. Lawan as Consensus Candidate in the buildup to the primaries June 2022. Watch video clip from #InsideSources Channels Television
It was an engaging discussion with Sen. Omisore, the immediate past APC National Secretary on this week's edition of #InsideSources . We both agreed that in the last one year, the President has been engaging & my guest's firm view is that Nigeria is on a positive growth trajectory
Today on #InsideSources , we reviewed some feedback messages from viewers & we had a good number, including one that referenced my service in the Buhari/Osinbajo administration. It was an opportunity to clarify my recent return to journalism, a profession I started 35 years ago.
On #InsideSources today noted that ex Govs like Wike who wants to be as influential in their states after serving -the way Bola Ahmed Tinubu did in Lagos-have to be tidier: afterall, there were issues of divergence BTW Tinubu & Fashola, & then Ambode. But they managed it differently
Today on #InsideSources , while urging support for the N15Trn Coastal Highway project, asked that we also focus on HCD 'While it is important to build up our country along infrastructural development, human capital development ought to be by far our number one devp. priority.'
#WeeklyPonder Progress in life is due mainly to God's hand upon human efforts. That is called blessing. Yet, we tend to focus more on help of other men & trusting them. But you'll always find out sooner than later that men will behave like men & God would get His glory singularly
#InsideSources hosts Clement Nwankwo, a foremost human rights activist in Nigeria & current ED, Policy & Legal Advocacy Centre. He's been around since the 80s fighting military dictatorship & his views are pungent. 'WHO WILL TELL THE PRESIDENT? also enters Part 2 in this edition.
#InsideSources today had Mr. Olatunjispeake about his military detention. If there are issues about a story, due process should be followed for remedy. Chaining a journalist, blindfolding him & dumping him in a dungeon for two weeks reflects poorly on all of us as a people.
Congratulations o, Dr Joe Abah, OON, my brother. Pls share the young man's info once you get it, we must herald the diligence he has demonstrated. And I dare say there are scores of millions of Nigerians like that. We thank GOD for the safety of all the people on board! Chilling!!
#WeeklyPonder In this life, it is up to you to make yourself happy. Do what excites you, just don't break the laws of God, the laws of humanity & the laws of the land. Do that, and discover to your delight, that expectation to derive happiness elsewhere is over-rated & misleading
#InsideSources -2 interesting segments today: Peter Obi's spokesperson Kenneth Okonkwo who blasts away on national issues & then Káyọ̀dé Ògúndámisí 🇳🇬 founding Sec-Gen OPC who comments on the Yoruba Nation's agitators recent incident in Ibadan & co... both share their views on Ngr's future.
