 Putin woos African leaders at showcase summit, says Russia is better partner than 'colonial' West President Vladimir Putin told African leaders ​on Wednesday that Russia was their best partner, accusing what he cast as a colonial West of still trying ‌to exploit the continent's resources and using debt to hold back development, Reuters reported. The Kremlin chief was speaking at the third Russia-Africa Summit in Moscow, a two-day event attended by African leaders and government delegations from 48 countries, during which he will hold one-on-one talks with many of the 22 individual African leaders ​attending on everything from trade to security, arms deals and grain supplies. "Africa is increasingly asserting itself as one of the key players in the global economy and politics. However, the emergence of a multipolar world is, of ​course, no easy task; it faces resistance from countries that are not prepared to accept this reality: those who are accustomed to ​thinking i...

 Obi has submitted his one-term proposal to coalition for consideration, says Yunusa Tanko


Yunusa Tanko, national coordinator of the Obidient Movement Worldwide, says Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in 2023, has submitted his one-term proposal to the coalition for consideration.


On Monday, Obi said he is willing to be a one-term president in 2027.


He added that any candidate from the south elected president in the next election must be prepared to leave office on May 28, 2031, in line with the “unwritten power-sharing agreement” and the zoning principle.


Obi, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, ex-transportation minister Rotimi Amaechi, and Nasir el-Rufai, former governor of Kaduna, have formed a coalition to challenge President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming election.


On Tuesday, the coalition adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as the vehicle for its ambition.


Punch reports that Tanko, who spoke at a chieftaincy ceremony in Gombe, on Tuesday, said Obi has laid down his proposal before the coalition.


“We have presented it to the coalition. It is there for them to make a decision. But we are confident it can work. This is a pronouncement rooted in integrity, and Peter Obi embodies that. What Nigeria needs now are leaders with integrity,” Tanko said.


He added that although the single term is not enshrined in the constitution, Obi believes that four years is enough to implement his ideas.


“That shows you how prepared and focused he is. Even stabilising electricity alone will solve a multitude of problems,” Tanko added.


“He is promising that under his leadership, Nigeria will become an exporting country again. Planes will no longer leave our airports empty."
