"No Leader Has Ever Achieved This": Fani-Kayode Hails APC's Historic Takeover of North, South Minority Zones

In a triumphant political declaration, former Aviation Minister and APC chieftain Femi Fani-Kayode has proclaimed that the ruling All Progressives Congress has made history by gaining full control of Nigeria's North Central and South-South geopolitical zones for the first time ever.

This watershed moment, according to Fani-Kayode, follows the recent defection of Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang to the APC, completing the party's dominance over two regions traditionally seen as Nigeria's "minority belts."

Fani-Kayode's Blueprint of Unprecedented Dominance

In a detailed social media post, Fani-Kayode laid out the party's commanding position, crediting President Bola Tinubu with a historic unification. "President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has united the so-called minorities of the North and the so-called minorities of the South and put them all in one party," Fani-Kayode declared. "No President or leader has EVER managed to achieve that."

The APC's reach, as detailed by the former minister, now spans an unprecedented 29 of Nigeria's 36 states:

*   Total Control: All 6 states in the North Central and all 6 states in the South South.
*   Overwhelming Majorities: 5 of 7 states in the North West, 4 of 6 in the North East, 4 of 6 in the South West, and 3 of 5 in the South East.

He described these "miraculous" gains as a testament to the "leadership qualities, fortitude, courage, insight, foresight and vision" of President Tinubu and party Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda.

A Unifying National Mandate

Beyond the raw political power, Fani-Kayode framed the achievement as a victory for national unity, arguing the APC has transcended regional and religious divides.

"Hence it is fair to say that the APC is not a regional or a religious party but an all-embracing and all-inclusive one which spreads across the entire nation and which accommodates members of all ethnic persuasions and religions," he stated, positioning the party as Nigeria's definitive national political institution.

For Fani-Kayode, a prominent defector from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the moment is one of personal and political vindication. "Those of us that left PDP in 2021, amidst much mockery and insults, have been vindicated," he asserted, concluding with a note of assured destiny: "It is a matter of destiny. To God be the glory!"

This consolidation dramatically reshapes Nigeria's political landscape, presenting a unified ruling party that will pose a formidable challenge to any opposition alliance in future elections.

Sheikh Gumi Alleges Foreign Powers are Financing Terrorists in Nigeria

Prominent Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has accused unnamed foreign nations of supporting terrorist groups in Nigeria, citing a sudden reversal of security gains in recent months as evidence of external interference. In a significant and provocative claim, Nigerian Islamic scholar Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has alleged that international actors are providing backing to terrorists operating within the country. During an interview with the BBC Hausa Service, Sheikh Gumi pointed to deteriorating security in areas that had shown marked improvement. He specifically highlighted the Abuja-Kaduna highway, which had become safer for travelers, and the farmlands around Birnin Gwari in Kaduna State, where farmers had cautiously returned to their fields after years of abandonment. "The situation on the ground contradicts earlier signs of improvement," Gumi stated, arguing that the recent surge in attacks suggests renewed support for armed groups. "This sudden rever...

DSS Arrests Medical Doctor Accused of Supplying Drugs to Kwara Kidnapping Syndicate

Intelligence-led operation in Jebba uncovers healthcare professional allegedly aiding criminal networks. In a significant breakthrough, Nigeria’s Department of State Services (DSS) has apprehended a licensed medical doctor for his alleged role in supporting kidnapping gangs terrorizing parts of Kwara State.
