Auwalu Lawan Daura, the main challenger of Yusuf Buhari for the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket in Daura/Sandamu/Mai’adua Federal Constituency of Katsina State, has faulted the ongoing primaries. Daily Trust reports that Daura is the only aspirant who refused to accept the son of late President Muhammadu Buhari as the consensus candidate of constituency. Speaking with our correspondent on Saturday, Daura said he was not satisfied with the manner in which the direct primaries were conducted. Alleging that the exercise was not conducted in accordance with party’s directives, he said most of the people who participated in the primaries did not possess APC membership cards. “I am not satisfied with what happened today. Evidence is everywhere showing the injustice that was done. The manner of counting was highly dubious, and most of the people counted did not even have party membership cards,” he stated. He revealed that his insistence on participating in the primaries was not out of disrespect to the party or any individual, adding that his actions were motivated by the need to uphold justice and fairness. “When I started this political movement, I made it clear that it was about the will of the people. When a consensus candidate was said to have been adopted, the people said no, they wanted us to go for primaries. Therefore, my insistence was not a sign of disrespect, but rather a demonstration of our support for justice and fairness,” he said. As of the time of filing this report, the result of the Daura/Sandamu/Mai’adua Federal Constituency primaries was still being awaited What's your thoughts?

Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections, has faulted President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s recent three-nation visit to France, Kenya and Rwanda, saying foreign trips by government officials must deliver tangible economic benefits to Nigerians. Daily Trust had reported that Tinubu returned to Nigeria on Friday evening, arriving at the Presidential Wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, where he was received by Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, among other top government officials. During the visit to France, Tinubu met with global investors and defended his administration’s economic reforms. He also attended the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi, Kenya, co hosted by President Emmanuel Macron and President William Ruto. While in Nairobi, Tinubu held a bilateral meeting with Madagascan leader Michael Randrianirina. In Kigali, Rwanda, the Nigerian leader joined other African presidents, investors and chief executives at the Africa CEO Forum to discuss ways of accelerating Africa’s economic transformation through regional integration and cross border investments. Reacting in a post on his X handle on Saturday, Obi said state visits by leaders and diplomacy must produce measurable gains for citizens. The former Anambra State governor said every foreign trip undertaken by government should translate into investments, technology transfer, trade agreements, industrial partnerships and job creation. Referencing recent engagements by Donald Trump with China, Obi claimed the American delegation consisted mainly of key government officials and top business figures, contrasting it with what he described as large entourages accompanying Nigerian leaders on foreign trips.
