First, make we talk about this new tax wahala wey President Bola Tinubu don bring come. Dem don start this new tax regime since January 1, and no be small fire wey dey burn! Some lawmakers from the North dey shout say the tax no go work, but Tinubu no send dem. People dey fear as dem dey find new way to collect tax from those wey dey hustle for street and dem no dey get formal job. Tax Identification Numbers don enter the matter, and e dey cause palava for everywhere.
Then make we move to Rivers State! Dis place don turn battlefield between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor Nyesom Wike. Wahala don dey burst since 2025 when Tinubu invoke Section 305 to declare state of emergency. Now, na Wike dey supervise impeachment for Fubara, kai! Dis power tussle no be child’s play, and e fit scatter the APC balance if dem no careful.
For Ekiti State, dem dey prepare for governorship election wey go land June 2026. The ruling APC wan show say dem still dey hold ground, but the opposition dey ready to show dem say dem no be small fry! PDP get wahala as dem exclude their candidate, Wole Oluyede from the poll. E be like say trouble no dey finish for dem.
Osun State too dey cook as dem dey prepare for August 8, 2026 governorship election. Governor Ademola Adeleke don defect to Accord Party, and as e dey hot, former Speaker Najeem Salaam don enter the race with African Democratic Congress. Dem dey watch the election well well because wetin happen for dis one fit determine how Tinubu go fare for 2027 presidential election.
Nigerians dey expect to see how all these things go turn out, especially with all these presidential primaries wey dey come for 2027. Na so some big names like Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi and Rotimi Amaechi dey eye the action. E go sweet if dem fit find common ground, but the PDP internal crisis dey show no sign of stopping.
