Turaki-Led PDP NEC Meets Jonathan Amid Party Leadership Crisis

The Peoples Democratic Party’s national working committee, headed by Kabiru Turaki, is meeting with former President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja. The meeting is taking place at Jonathan’s office in Maitama, the nation’s capital, and while the details of the discussion have not been disclosed, sources suggest it concerns the party’s leadership tussle and the broader state of the nation. The PDP has been embroiled in internal conflict since November, when a faction backed by governors, including Bauchi State’s Bala Mohammed and Oyo State’s Seyi Makinde, held a convention that elected a new national working committee with Turaki as chairman. During that convention, the party expelled FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and several of his allies, including former Oyo State governor Ayodele Fayose, ex-national secretary Samuel Anyanwu, former national organising secretary Umar Bature, former legal adviser Kamaldeen Ajibade, ex-lawmaker Mao Ohuabunwa, former Imo PDP chairman Austin Nwachukwu, former Abia PDP chairman Amah Nnanna Abraham, former national vice-chairman (south-south) Dan Orbih, and Turnah George. Rejecting the expulsion, Wike’s faction set up a parallel national working committee, board of trustees, and national executive committee. In retaliation, the Makinde-aligned faction also expelled members loyal to Wike, deepening the party’s leadership crisis.

Portable Blasts Ashabi Simple’s Sister Over Interference in Dispute With Ashabi

Singer Portable has escalated his ongoing dispute with his baby mama, Ashabi Simple, by publicly calling out his sister-in-law, accusing her of meddling in his personal affairs and worsening tensions between the families. The controversy, which has been playing out online for weeks, has captured widespread attention across social media platforms. In a lengthy and fiery post, Portable directly addressed his sister-in-law, outlining what he described as her interference and alleged misconduct. He said: “What is your business with our affair? You were the one that chased your sister out of her husband’s house. I rented a house for Ashabi, yet you went there and slept with different men. You are so shameless. You and your siblings filled up the place, and she was always complaining to me. You turned the house into a goat house. You said I seized your phones—was I not the one who bought the phones? Nobody in your family is rich, you ungrateful souls. “I dare you to post your father’s mud house. Your mother said Ashabi deliberately got pregnant for me so she could succeed in her acting career. Your family forced me to do the naming ceremony for the first child. When she delivered the second one, your family told me I must marry her. Can you force me to marry? You all are mad. I was the first person to get you and your sister on a plane. I sent your sister to school. I also sponsored her movie production. I gave her 300k to act a scene with Odunlade. After my fight with Ashabi, your mother came begging me to forgive her. I even gave her money.” Through his statement, Portable painted a picture of what he considers ongoing ingratitude and unreasonable demands from his baby mama’s family. He highlighted the financial and personal support he claims to have provided, from renting a house for Ashabi to funding her education and acting projects, only to be met with criticism and interference from her relatives. The singer’s post underscores the complexities of the dispute, which has involved multiple family members and drawn public attention due to its unfiltered and personal nature. Portable’s words also suggest deep frustration over what he perceives as the sister-in-law’s repeated intrusion in matters he believes should remain private between him and Ashabi. By going public with these accusations, Portable has intensified the drama surrounding Ashabi Simple and her family, signaling that the conflict is far from resolved and continues to unfold in a very public and confrontational manner.

Abuja Nurse Killed After Late Shift, Nurses’ Group Demands Urgent Action on Insecurity

Chinemerem Pascalina Chuwumezie, a nurse at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) in Jabi, Abuja, has been killed by suspected “one-chance” criminals while returning home from a late shift, sparking renewed outrage over Nigeria’s growing insecurity. According to SaharaReporters, the frontline health worker was attacked in the Federal Capital Territory shortly after finishing her duties. The Elegant Nurses Forum condemned the killing, calling it a “painful and unacceptable loss” and blaming the government for failing to protect essential workers. In a statement signed by Nurse Thomas Abiodun Olamide on Tuesday, the group emphasised that such attacks are part of a wider pattern of insecurity affecting workers across the country. “We are deeply saddened and outraged by the brutal murder of Nurse Chinemerem Pascalina Chuwumezie. She was murdered by suspected ‘one-chance’ criminals while returning home after a late duty on Saturday. Nurse Chinemerem devoted her life to caring for others, yet she was abandoned to danger by a system that failed to ensure her safety,” the statement read. The forum noted that health workers often work late shifts and emergency duties without protection, making them vulnerable to preventable attacks. It also criticised labour unions for remaining silent amid the increasing violence against workers. The Elegant Nurses Forum outlined several urgent demands, including an immediate investigation into Chuwumezie’s murder, the arrest and prosecution of those responsible, and government-funded staff shuttles for workers, particularly during late-night and early-morning shifts. The group also called for strengthened security around hospitals and major worker routes, recognition of health workers as high-risk essential personnel, and decisive action from trade unions to challenge government inaction. “The life of every Nigerian matters. The life of every nurse matters. Nurses cannot continue to save lives by day and be left vulnerable to death by night. Enough is enough. We stand in solidarity with the family, colleagues, and loved ones of Nurse Chinemerem Pascalina Chuwumezie. We demand justice, safety, and responsible governance now,” the statement concluded.
