Trump issues pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer after insider trading conviction    President Donald Trump has issued a full pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer, who served nearly two years in prison after being convicted of insider trading tied to post-congressional consulting work. Buyer was sentenced in 2023 to 22 months in prison for illegal stock trades made while working as a consultant and lobbyist. He was ordered to forfeit more than $350,000 in ill-gotten gains and pay a $10,000 fine. He was released from custody in 2025 after his conviction was upheld, with the Supreme Court declining to take up his appeal earlier this year.

 El-Rufai: SDP is branch of APC – Galadima


Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, has described the Social Democratic Party, SDP, as a branch of the All Progressives Congress, APC.


Galadima specifically stated that the SDP is merely a factionalized extension of the APC.


He made this remark while fielding questions on Arise Television’s Morning Show programme on Tuesday.


The statement comes amid the recent defection of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai from the ruling APC to the SDP. El-Rufai has been urging notable politicians to join the SDP in an effort to defeat President Bola Tinubu in 2027.


The former Kaduna governor had, prior to his resignation, become increasingly critical of the APC-led government under Tinubu.


He also cited a widening disconnect between his personal values and the party’s current direction as his reason for defecting.


However, Galadima insisted that the NNPP is a party of principle and will not enter into coalitions for their own sake.


He said: “The SDP is simply a factionalized branch of the APC. How many non-APC members have defected to the SDP?


“The APC’s character is to decimate the opposition. We must start opposing based on principles, even if it means standing alone. The NNPP is a party of principle and will not enter into coalitions for their own sake.”
