Sen. Dino Melaye Mr. Melaye, who had earlier alleged that the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, would inject him with substance that would kill him if he was arrested, compared his challenges to that of Prophet Elijah in the Bible, in a tweet on Tuesday evening.

There has been a police blockade of Senator Melaye’s Maitama-Abuja home by operatives out to effect a warrant of arrest for what the police spokesman, Jimoh Moshood, says it is a case of “Criminal Conspiracy and Attempted Culpable Homicide” against the federal lawmaker. The statement reads: “For starters, as a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dino Melaye swore to an oath to uphold the laws of the land, but for mor...

Real reason Ambode ‘fell out’ with Tinubu – PDP Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos state, Adegbola Dominic, has alleged that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s overbearing nature and desire to corner all the resources of Lagos State to himself made him fallout with Governor Akinwunmi Ambode. Speaking to journalists on Wednesday in Lagos, Dominic said he was surprised Governor Ambode could not muster the resources at his disposal and the power he enjoys as governor to confront Asiwaju Tinubu. He said, “ I was partly surprised because I expected Ambode an incumbent governor to have a will of his own, to know what he wants and go for it. Apparently, he wasn’t happy because he knew that Tinubu was overbearing and has cornered all the resources of the state. So, the governor wanted a change and that was what caused the problem between them. “Now, Tinubu sensing that the governor is unhappy with him just came and howled at him like a bulldog and Ambode jus...
