Fubara Explains Why He Left PDP For APC To Support Tinubu In Rivers State

Wale busari03 mins

Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has officially joined the All Progressives Congress (APC), leaving the crisis-hit Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to reciprocate President Bola Tinubu’s efforts in stabilising the state. Fubara said his move was also aimed at aligning Rivers State with the Tinubu-led federal government. He made the remarks during his formal reception into the APC at the State Government House, Port Harcourt. During the ceremony, Fubara completed his APC membership form and other necessary documents, receiving his party slip and membership card. The APC delegation was led by Rivers State APC Chairman Chief Tony Okocha and Minister of Aviation Festus Keyamo. Speaking after receiving his card, Fubara said, “I took this decision as my return of favour; my own clearing the bush to ensure that his (Tinubu’s) re-election in 2027 will be easy and smooth in this state. Now that we are all in one party – I know we have always supported, but from different flats – we are inside one flat. The job is now easy to fulfil what we have promised the President.” Fubara also vowed to strengthen the APC in the state, saying, “I want to assure the National Executive and the state chairman representing the national chairman that we will do everything to keep APC as the main and active progressive party in Rivers State. From this minute, it is my responsibility to ensure the party is properly managed. Every need of the executive committee and the party becomes my duty. We have a task ahead: to promote the President’s agenda, engage key stakeholders, and ensure a smooth political path for APC in Rivers State.”

Labour Party Rules Out Automatic Tickets, Says Peter Obi Must Compete In 2027 Primaries

Wale busari03 mins

The Labour Party has declared that no aspirant will receive an automatic ticket for the 2027 general elections, saying even former presidential candidate Peter Obi must participate in competitive primaries if he decides to return to the party. Obiora Ifoh, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, made the statement in an interview with The Punch, amid growing uncertainty over Obi’s political plans and tensions between him and the Julius Abure-led LP leadership. Ifoh emphasized that the party is open to reconciliation with Obi and other aggrieved members but insisted that its democratic processes will not be compromised. “We have answered this question several times. The Labour Party has consistently said that tickets will be determined at the party’s convention. The NEC has made its position clear regarding our presidential candidacy. Every candidate must emerge through a democratically convened convention. There is no automatic ticket for anyone, whether presidential, governorship, or chairmanship aspirants,” he said. He also noted that Obi has largely kept his distance from the party leadership over the past year. “Obi’s position in the Labour Party can only be answered by him. Nobody can speak for him. Whether he is in the ADC or Labour Party, he is the only one who can answer that. Over the last year, he has not really engaged with the current leadership, and we take it as it is. Many others have also not been actively involved,” Ifoh added. Addressing why the recent NEC meeting did not tackle the Obi issue, Ifoh explained that it focused on launching congresses and primaries. “The NEC meeting was dedicated to starting our congresses, which we have conducted successfully. Did you see some of our viral videos and pictures? In Abia State, there was a court injunction, which we respected. Primaries in Ekiti State have been completed, and similar exercises will soon follow in Osun. INEC has been working with us, monitoring the process and providing key codes to upload our candidates. Everything is progressing well, and we are confident of achieving our objectives by 2027,” he said.

All Taxable Nigerians Must Have TIN To Operate Bank Accounts From January 2026, Says FG

Wale busari02 mins

The federal government has announced that all taxable Nigerians will be required to have a Tax Identification Number (TIN) to operate bank accounts, as part of new tax reforms set to take effect on January 1, 2026. Taiwo Oyedele, chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, shared the update in a post on his X account on Thursday. He explained that Section 4 of the Nigerian Tax Administration Act (NTAA), which comes into force in 2026, mandates that all taxable persons must register for a tax ID. However, Oyedele clarified that students and dependents are exempt from this requirement. He also noted that while the policy has been in place since the Finance Act of 2020, the NTAA now provides a legal framework for its full implementation. Individuals and businesses that already have TINs will not need to obtain a new one. “Yes, but with some exemptions. A section of the NTAA requires a taxable person to register and obtain a tax ID. A taxable person is anyone who earns income through trade, business, or any economic activity. Banks must therefore request a tax ID from taxable persons. Individuals who do not earn income, such as students and dependents, do not need a tax ID. Any taxable entity without a tax ID may face challenges operating their bank account in the near future,” Oyedele stated.

Dangote Refinery Cuts Petrol Price To N699 Per Litre, Slashing N129 From Benchmark

Wale busari02 mins

The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has reduced its petrol gantry price again, bringing the ex-depot rate down from N828 to N699 per litre. Data from Petroleumprice.ng on Friday showed that the refinery cut the Premium Motor Spirit benchmark by N129 per litre, a 15.58 per cent reduction. An anonymous refinery official confirmed the move to PUNCH Online, saying, “The refinery has reduced petrol gantry price to N699 per litre.” The new rate, effective December 11, 2025, marks the 20th petrol price adjustment by the refinery this year. The reduction comes shortly after Chairman Aliko Dangote reaffirmed his commitment to keeping domestic fuel prices “reasonable and competitive,” despite global price fluctuations and ongoing smuggling along Nigeria’s borders. Dangote, speaking after a closed-door meeting with President Bola Tinubu on December 6, explained that the price drop is part of efforts to compete with imported fuel. He noted that while smuggling has lessened, it remains an issue because Nigerian fuel costs about 55 per cent less than in neighboring countries. He added that petroleum products would continue to be sold at fair prices, stressing that the $20 billion refinery is a long-term investment. Following the Dangote refinery’s adjustment, several private depots also lowered their prices. Sigmund Depot reduced its ex-depot price by N4 to N824 per litre, Bulk Strategic cut N3, and TechnoOil implemented a N15 drop. Other depots, including A.A. Rano, NIPCO, and Aiteo, made slight reductions in response to the new pricing benchmark.
