By Prince Ademola Adedeji Email: adedejiade98@gmail.com Recent political discourse surrounding the 2027 elections has revived debates about Nigeria’s past and present leadership.

This article presents a detailed, fact-based comparison of the Jonathan and Tinubu presidencies, examining economic management, democratic governance, security, and corruption. The evidence shows that despite criticisms, Jonathan’s administration performed significantly better than Tinubu’s in nearly every critical sector. If…

On Thursday, April 10, 2025, Kalu defiantly summoned a meeting of stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abia State chapter, at his Abuja private residence.
