Good morning! Here is today’s summary from Major Newspapers in Nigeria

PUNCH NEWSPAPER

1. APC legal adviser recommends Lukman’s expulsion from party

The National Legal Adviser of the All Progressives Congress, Ahmad El-Marzuq, has recommended severe punishment including the option of expulsion to be meted out to the National Vice Chairman for North-West, Salihu Lukman, for taking the party and its leadership to court.

El-Marzuq’s suggestion was contained in a leaked ‘legal opinion’ written to the National Chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, dated April 28, 2023.

This was even as concerned members of the National Working Committee of the party set up a committee to look into the lingering feud between Adamu and the North-West vice chair with a view to resolving the internal wrangling rocking the party.

The development is coming barely four days after Adamu and the APC National Secretary, Senator Iyiola Omisore, were dragged to court by Lukman for breaching the party’s constitution.

2. 10th Senate: Northern stakeholders to meet over Kalu-Musa ticket

Northern stakeholders drawn across party and religious divides are set to convene to deliberate over the choice of the Senate Chief Whip, Orji Kalu and Senator Sani Musa (Niger East) as preferred candidates for Senate President and Deputy Senate President of the 10th National Assembly, respectively.

It was learnt that, yesterday, the stakeholders comprising of some senators-elect, traditional and religious stalwarts, have agreed to meet and brainstorm on the endorsement of the Senate Chief Whip and his Niger East senator colleague as the choice of President-elect, BolaTinubu, and senators-elect.

Tinubu had, during the week, accepted that the All Progressives Congress zone the Senate presidency of the incoming 10th National Assembly.

The development formed the details of what transpired at the last meeting with the President-elect, the leadership of the All Progressives Congress and some National Assembly members.

3. Yari meets Buhari, says North deserves Senate Presidency

The Former Governor of Zamfara State and senator-elect, Abdul’Aziz Yari, on Sunday in Abuja, urged the All Progressives Congress to “reward performance” and not consider ethnicity or religion when zoning key offices in the 10th National Assembly.

“I’m advising the party that they should reward performance, not religion. Because religion is not in the constitution of Nigeria, and it is not in our manifesto and our constitution,” Yari said shortly after an audience with the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), at his official residence at the State House, Abuja.

Yari, who is one of the new senators-elect vying for the Senate Presidency, argued that the North being the highest contributor of votes to ensure APC victory in the February 25 presidential elections, should be offered the opportunity to produce the next senate helmsman.

“Everyone knows the role that we played, despite the fact that other people are thinking we have our own. But we voted on the party line which gave the APC leeway to grab the presidency again.

VANGUARD NEWSPAPER

4. Presidency to critics: Buhari served meritoriously

The Presidential Communications Team on Sunday said that President Muhammadu Buhari has served the country meritoriously in the past eight years he mounted the saddle of leadership of Nigeria.

Consequently, the presidential team has released a 91-page document containing what it said are the achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari in his eight years in office as he prepares to leave in less than a month time.

A statement introducing the document titled “Buhari’s Footprints on the Sands of Time,” by the head of the Presidential Communication Team and Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Chief Femi Adesina, suggested that it is all encompassing and will replace the half information critics of the president had peddled.

5. Electricity: TCN restores supply Kaduna, Kano, Aba after FG’s intervention

The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, on Sunday disclosed that it will reconnect Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company, Kano Electricity and Aba Power Limited Electric to the national grid following the intervention of the Minister of Power.

TCN said the companies failed to produce their Bank Guarantees when it was demanded for by the Market Operator, an arm of the TCN.

6. Atiku won 2023 Presidential polls, PDP insists

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has insisted that  its Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, won the February 25, 2023 Presidential election based on the actual votes cast at the Polling Units across the country.

The party described claims by the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, that the opposition lost the election, as subjudice and part of a series of attempts by the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Executive to bully and blackmail the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.

This was contained in a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, in Abuja, on Sunday.
