Makinde, Wike's camp trade tackles as PDP crisis deepens

A fresh wave of tension has erupted within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde’s camp has launched a scathing attack on the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, accusing him of engineering the party’s internal crisis.

Mr. Dare Adeleke, Special Adviser to Governor Makinde on Federal Constituency Matters, alleged that Wike is actively working to weaken the PDP in favour of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to Adeleke, Wike’s ultimate goal is to eliminate political opposition and solidify APC as the country’s only political party.

“I strongly condemn Governor Nyesom Wike’s undemocratic and arrogant remarks,” Adeleke said, responding to Wike’s recent threats to abandon reconciliation efforts within the PDP.

“He has turned governance into a personal enterprise. I believe President Bola Tinubu should call him to order.”

Adeleke further suggested that Wike’s manoeuvres are aimed at clearing the path for President Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.

“How can someone, over personal grievances, seek to destroy political parties?” he queried.

The aide also accused Wike of hypocrisy and sabotage, claiming the minister is secretly obstructing party unity while publicly blaming others.

He cited alleged efforts by Wike to stall the PDP’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting and disrupt operations at the party’s national secretariat.

“He behaves as if governance in this country revolves solely around him. We thank Governor Seyi Makinde, who has remained resolute and committed to the truth,” Adeleke said.

The clash marks another chapter in the PDP’s ongoing internal struggles, threatening its cohesion ahead of 2027.

NYSC Mobilisation & Academic Standards – Raising quality or adding pressure on students?

On September 29, 2025, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu approved a reform linking the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) mobilisation process to the National Policy for the Nigeria Education Repository and Databank (NERD). By invoking Sections 2(4)(4) and 16(1)(C) of the NYSC Act, Tinubu stated that no graduate, whether from a Nigerian or foreign institution, will be mobilised for or exempted from NYSC without proof of compliance with the NERD policy. In a common man's understanding, the Federal Government has announced that Nigerian students must now submit their final-year projects or thesis before they can be mobilised for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). This policy aims to improve academic standards, ensuring that no student skips essential academic requirements before entering the NYSC scheme . On the surface, this sounds like a laudable idea, but a deeper look reveals a different reality. In many universities, students are allowed to graduate and mobilised for NYSC  ...
