An alarm on Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu – By Mideno Bayagbon
There was a hurriedly composed, sycophantic song, which ruled the political space in Delta State, some years ago, when Chief James Onanefe Ibori held sway. It was simply known as Odidigborigbo. It was in the days when President Olusegun Obasanjo sought to get his pound of flesh from Governor Ibori, who was deemed to be…

For Okowa, Ibori and Uduaghan: the war can’t but end now – By Mideno Bayagbon
Recently l had a flying visit to Delta State and toured the state incognito. I even attended a few of the campaign rallies where I tried to make myself as inconspicuous as possible. From Asaba, Agbor, Abraka, Eku, Warri, Effurun, Sapele, Idjere and so on, I slept in villages without light and without telecommunication supply.…

Drug baron accusation, Tinubu bares his fangs – By Mideno Bayagbon
Not very many people suspected it was fake. It looked and read like a genuine copy, letterhead, reference number, signature and all. But we at TheNewsGuru.com have had to establish a tradition, especially in these political times, of verifying every document, video and even photographs.

In Wike and Atiku fight, the heat comes on Governor Okowa – By Mideno Bayagbon
After months of a tempestuous fight and ill-fated recriminations, it is all over. The last we heard from former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, the flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is that he has given up and is walking away from the reconciliation meetings with Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and his…

Now that Abuja and not Obi, Atiku, Tinubu, has become our number one problem – By Mideno Bayagbon
Nothing has de-marketed the nation, Nigeria, in the last seven years, as much as the unsolved spates of terrorist acts and the wide gamut of insecurity, fuelled by an incompetent, unfeeling government. And we have become more and more the butt of international jokes and disdain as we wobble and fumble on even the simplest…

Delta PDP: Of Bruised Egos, Vaunted Ambitions; Armageddon and Peace – By Mideno Bayagbon
The Supreme Court judgment last Friday, which affirmed The Right Honourable Sheriff Oborevwori, Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, as the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Delta State, has brought some calm and opened two new doors. One to peace and the other to possible fragmentation and implosion.

Obi, Atiku and Tinubu want to fool us again: let’s all say NO – By Mideno Bayagbon
Two weeks after the lid on campaigns was removed, it is now clear that we are on the old road that shields candidates, masks their short comings, and makes emperors of nincompoops. We are in the season of choreographed sound bites designed to leave a sedated populace enchanted with empty bombast. We are in the…

TNG Analysis: How 2023 election will be won and lost [Part 1]
Truly interesting days lie ahead in our journey to the 2023 General Elections. I look at the ecstatic, confident smiles of the supporters of the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, the cocksureness of the Atikulated group and the self assured belief of the BAT brigade, and as a veteran in these games,…

As the campaign season officially kicks off, the national space is set to be agog with the noise of political activities. At the federal level, the three major parties will be parading the Asiwaju, Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu, (APC); Waziri Adamawa, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar (PDP); and the gadfly, table shaker, Mr Peter Obi, (LP). They…

Atiku is up to something and Tinubu faces possible disgrace – By Mideno Bayagbon
Anyone who has been around the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, in the last two months, would not have failed to notice something peculiar about the air around him and his team. There is a suspicious confidence, a certain, palpable arrogance, a cocksuredness that is troubling. You cannot but…
