A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has stated that the defection of the former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, portends a bad omen for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.

Eze described Kwankwaso as a thorough-bred, grassroots politician and crowd puller who believes in genuine democratic governance.

“By joining the ADC, Kwankwaso has dealt a heavy political uppercut blow to President Tinubu’s re-election bid.

“This defection, borne out of patriotism and the need to salvage the country from bad governance is a bad omen for Tinubu and his co-travellers.

“Tinubu’s errand boys lobbied, wished and prayed this defection never happened. But Kwankwaso knows the country is bleeding, the citizens are dying, the living are in dire need of help and the only way to oust Tinubu and his unpopular government is through a coalition movement,” Eze stated.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, Eze commended the former governor for joining the ADC, a party he said is on a mission to rescue Nigerians from clueless, nepotistic, wicked, undemocratic, and despotic government led by President Tinubu.

Eze described Kwankwaso as a “political tsunami” waiting to blow off Tinubu.

He applauded Kwankwaso for making the right decision to join the ADC, adding that voting out an incumbent in Nigeria demands all hands on deck.

“Tinubu has through his abysmal performance in this winding up four years, made it easier for ADC, as a viable alternative to take over the mantle of democratic governance in Nigeria. We must not falter.

“As a party on a mission to rescue Nigerians, the ADC cannot afford to waste this glaring opportunity. We must unite ahead of our primaries to face the APC headon. Nigerians have placed hope on ADC, we must rise to the challenge and not disappoint.

“With the calibre of arrow heads in the party, no doubt, Nigerians believe ADC is a disciplined mix of coalition-builders, with credibility and electoral value,” Eze noted.

Nigeria can’t rely on borrowing forever, Finance Minister warns over fresh World Bank loan plans

Nigeria can’t rely on borrowing forever, Finance Minister warns over fresh World Bank loan plans

Nigeria can’t rely on borrowing forever, Finance Minister warns over fresh World Bank loan plans By Paul Joseph Nigeria’s Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, has declared that the country can no longer depend heavily on borrowing to fund national development, insisting that stronger tax reforms and sustainable revenue generation are now critical to the nation’s future. Speaking at the 28th Annual Tax Conference of the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria in Abuja, Oyedele said Nigeria must build a resilient fiscal system capable of financing infrastructure, healthcare, education, security and social welfare without excessive reliance on debt. His remarks come amid reports that the Federal Government is seeking a fresh $1.25 billion loan from the World Bank to support economic reforms and job creation initiatives. According to the minister, the government’s ongoing tax reforms are designed to improve fiscal sustainability, attract investment, reduce inequality and stimulate long-term economic growth. Oyedele noted that Nigeria’s tax system has for years been weakened by multiple taxation, poor compliance, fragmented administration and overdependence on a narrow revenue base, making it difficult for government revenues to adequately support development needs. He explained that the proposed reforms aim to simplify taxation, improve fairness and reduce the burden on low- and middle-income earners while creating a more investor-friendly environment. The minister disclosed that minimum wage earners have now been exempted from personal income tax, while plans are underway to reduce company income tax rates in order to encourage business expansion and investment. He added that reforms to the Value Added Tax system are expected to lower operational costs, improve efficiency and help moderate inflationary pressures across the economy. Oyedele further revealed that at least 15 states have already adopted tax harmonisation laws aimed at reducing multiple taxation and easing compliance burdens on businesses operating across the country. Also speaking at the conference, Vice-President Kashim Shettima defended the reforms, describing them as pro-people and pro-business measures intended to strengthen the economy and lift millions of Nigerians out of poverty. Former Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, also backed the reforms, arguing that wealthy Nigerians and private jet owners should contribute more through taxation to support national development.
