By Grace Awo Ibrahim Introduction: The Man from Ardokola Victor Bala Kona is the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Taraba state for those who don't know. He is Jukun kona from Ardo kola, not far from Jalingo but speaks the Wukari variant of the jukun dialect fairly...

By Emmanuel Bello As the PDP meets this weekend for its convention at Abuja, Taraba state should not be denied its pride of place. And I dare say the way Taraba would be treated would be a pointer to whether PDP is really serious about its transformation or not. One...

By Walter Duru, Ph.D Three weeks ago, the hammer of the world’s watchdog on money laundering and terrorist financing, Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units fell on Nigeria for non-compliance with global best standards.

By Femi Fani-Kayode I am convinced that President Muhammadu Buhari's spokesman, Mr. Femi Adesina, has now finally lost his mind.
