Review of Leading Nigerian Newspaper Front Pages on Sunday, 4th May, 2025
It seems that PDP governors and Minister Nyesom Wike have been burning the midnight oil in their efforts to bridge internal party divisions ahead of the 2027 presidency race. Word on the street is that a recent get-together, arranged in Lagos, shed some light on some concessions to promote unity within the party. Represented by Oyo State's Governor, Seyi Makinde, the PDP governors engaged in open dialogue with Wike.
Things on the plate for these politicians included negotiating ways to resolve the political dust-up between Governor Sim Fubara and Wike in Rivers State. Also on the agenda was discussing the distribution of power within the South-South zone, as well as ironing out lingering concerns regarding the National Secretary position, which has been a hot topic since December 2024. Additionally, finding a balance to cater to both sides' interests was on the list of priorities[1].
Furthermore, it looks like terrorists in the Northeast have been stepping up their attacks, with reports revealing that about 227 innocents may have lost their lives over the past four months, mostly in Borno State[2]. The Nigerian government is set to employ advanced technology in a country-wide effort to reclaim territories, particularly forests, from terrorists and armed groups[4].
Mele Kyari, former head of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC), is ready to share his side of the story as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) continues its investigation of ousted NNPC officials[3].
