 AU urges de-escalation as fighting displaces over 180,000 in South Sudan’s Jonglei state The Chairperson of the African Union Commission called for immediate de-escalation and strict adherence to South Sudan’s 2018 peace agreement, as renewed fighting in Jonglei State displaced more than 180,000 people and raised fears of further civilian harm.

 Those who accused me of destabilizing PDP, working for Tinubu now in APC – Wike


The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Wednesday said those who accused him of destabilizing the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, have defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC.


Wike said they should commend him for clearing the path by working for President Bola Tinubu’s administration.


Recently, some PDP chieftains like Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State and former National Youth Leader of the party, Sunday Udeh-Okoye defected to the APC.


Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today last night, Udeh-Okoye said the Southeast have found a home in the APC.


While in PDP, Udeh-Okoye had wrestled for the position of the party’s National Secretary with Samuel Anyanwu, a close ally of Wike.


However, Wike said defectors are working together to support Tinubu’s administration.


Wike spoke at the flag-off of the construction of the main carriageways of Outer Southern Expressway (OSEX) from Ring Road I Junction to Ring Road II Junction along Wasa Road, by Shoprite Junction in Apo area of the FCT.


According to Wike: “It has never been like this before, whichever party you belong to, all of them have always worked together to support this administration.


“I’m very happy that very soon I will speak to Nigerians. I have been watching on daily televisions and social media people who said I want to destabilize the party. I’m working for APC, and all of them are now in APC.


“So they should commend me for working for where they are heading to, I should be commended for doing a good job for them.”
