Following the recent replacement of some cabinet members that resigned to actualize their political ambition, the new Minister of Transportation, Muazu Sambo has pledged to continue with the actualisation of President Muhammadu Buhari’s infrastructural development agenda.

The Minister gave the assurance on Wednesday in Abuja during a brief handover ceremony by the Minister of State for Transportation,  Sen. Gbemisola Saraki, Minister of State (Transportation) at the Ministers office.

In his speech after receiving his working tools from the exiting Minister of State in the presence of Ademola Adegoroye and other officials of the Ministry on Wednesday, Sambo said, “I am here for a very short time. I am coming with an open mind; there is nothing under the sun you won’t hear when you move into a place.

”The best thing is to lead the people with an open mind. I want you to embrace me and give me all the support.

”I wish we could work with my sister (Saraki) but I have a brother.  One good goes, anorher goos one comes. We will do our best and leave the rest to humanity and posterity to judge.”

Also in her remark, Saraki who was deployed to the Ministry of Science and Technology thanked the management and staff of the Ministry for their cooperation and urged them to extend same to the new Ministers.

“The team you have here are exceptionally hardworking, very quick to learn and have been exceptionally focused in ensuring service delivery. 

”I am sure that they will continue to do that as you take over the reign of the ministry.

”The Ministry of Transport is one of the focal points of Mr. President’s agenda looking at the issue of infrastructure.

”I am sure and have no doubt in my mind that the good legacy that has started in 2015 will continue.

‘”If there is any way I can be of assistance to both of you, you know where I am,” she said. 

The immediate past Minister, Rotimi Chibuike  Amaechi of the All Progressives Congress voluntarily resigned from office to pursue his presidential ambition where he came second behind Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

2027: NDC fixes October 20 for Campaign Council inauguration, Presentation of Certificates of Return

By Myke Uzendu, Abuja  The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has fixed October 20, 2026, for the inauguration of its Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), presentation of Certificates of Return to its candidates for the 2027 general elections and a strategic dinner for candidates contesting various elective positions.  The party also disclosed that its presidential and vice-presidential candidates, Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, respectively, would participate in consultations to determine key appointments in the campaign council.  National Chairman of the NDC, Senator Moses Cleopas Zuwoghe, announced this on Saturday at a press conference at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.  He said the campaign council’s organisational structure and timetable had been ready since the end of August, but its inauguration was being delayed to allow Obi and Kwankwaso to conclude consultations and recommend nominees for strategic positions.  According to him, the activities scheduled for October 20 would follow a meeting of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC), where key decisions concerning preparations for the 2027 elections are expected to be considered and ratified.  Cleopas said the delay did not indicate inactivity or internal division, explaining that the party was committed to establishing a properly constituted campaign structure capable of coordinating its nationwide electoral activities.  He added that appointments would reflect national spread, competence, capacity and the ability of nominees to contribute meaningfully to the campaign.  The NDC chairman disclosed that Obi and Kwankwaso were expected to recommend nominees for several strategic positions in the Presidential Campaign Council, including Director-General, Deputy Director-General, campaign spokesperson, Director of Social Media and Financial Controller.  The candidates are also expected to nominate two additional officers who, alongside the party’s National Treasurer, will oversee the campaign council’s separate and dedicated bank account.  Cleopas said the arrangement was intended to ensure that the presidential and vice-presidential candidates were actively involved in decisions affecting the organisation, financing and direction of their campaign.  He maintained that the party leadership, the candidates and the National Leader, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, were united in their preparations for the 2027 elections.  The chairman said the campaign council would be formally announced after the national leadership received the candidates’ nominations and recommendations.  He argued that constituting the council without the active participation of the presidential candidate and his running mate would be inappropriate, given their central roles in the presidential contest. Cleopas also dismissed reports suggesting that the party was divided or struggling to organise itself ahead of the 2027 elections.  He said the press conference was partly convened to address concerns raised by party members, supporters and Nigerians over the apparent delay in establishing the presidential campaign structure.  The chairman maintained that the National Working Committee (NWC), NEC, National Leader and party structures at the state, local government and ward levels remained committed to the party’s candidates.  He equally rejected suggestions that Dickson was working with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to undermine the NDC presidential ticket.  Questioning the basis of the allegation, Cleopas said it would have been easier for Dickson to join the APC than to undertake the more demanding process of establishing and registering a political party if his objective had been to work for the ruling party.  He urged journalists to exercise caution in reporting political allegations and speculation, warning that misinformation could create unnecessary distrust and mislead the electorate. ...
