 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...

GOODLUCK NIGERIA MOVEMENT PLANS ‘200 MILLION MAN’ RALLY TO URGE EX-PRESIDENT JONATHAN TO CONTEST 2027 ELECTION. (PHOTO).


 A political pressure group, the Goodluck Nigeria Movement (GNM), has announced plans to organise a massive ‘200 million man’ rally across Nigeria to appeal to former President Goodluck Jonathan to run for the 2027 presidential election.


The group made the disclosure in a statement signed by its Director of Strategic Communications, Dr. Derek Omoleh.


The movement argued that Nigeria currently needs an experienced leader rather than “an apprentice” to navigate the ongoing economic and political challenges facing the country.


In the statement, the group painted a nostalgic picture of the Jonathan administration, describing it as a time when Nigeria was “the pride of Africa” with the largest economy, a hub for global investment, and where dreams were affordable.


“We remember when Nigeria was the pride of Africa — the largest economy, a hub for global investment, and a place where dreams were affordable. That was the ‘Jonathan era,’” the statement read.


“From farmers in the North to traders in the South, the message is universal: ‘Bring back the stability of the Jonathan years.’ His return means a swift return to policies that benefit the masses instead of just the elites.”


The Goodluck Nigeria Movement described itself as being on a “national rescue mission” to restore a leader it called a symbol of Nigeria’s last period of true prosperity.


Dr. Omoleh called on well-meaning Nigerians both at home and in the diaspora to join the movement.


“Nigeria is suffering, and we cannot look away. The Goodluck Nigeria Movement is the voice of the hungry, the hope of the unemployed, and the protector of our democracy,” he said.


“We have chosen Dr. Goodluck Jonathan because he has nothing to prove but everything to offer. The movement starts today; the rescue is certain.”


The group further praised Jonathan’s ability to remain calm in times of division and highlighted his “Peace First” philosophy, referencing his famous declaration that “my ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian.”
