For the first time in the political history of Nigeria, especially under Democratic dispensations, 2023 has proven to be a year filled with intrigues, endless permutations, and prospects for possible solutions to the myriad of Nigeria's seemingly endless challenges.

I Will Give My All To Birth And Berth The Nigeria Of Our Dreams. -GYB.

There has been a massive hoopla in the public space about the 100million fixed by our great Party the All Progressive Congress APC as cost for the Presidential Nomination Form.

Does the Party not have the right to manage what would become a tortuous Presidential Primaries by reducing the number of Aspirants the way it deems best?…
