President Bola Tinubu's economic reforms during the past year have literally saved the country. Shettima termed the reforms as essential when he made this statement during his guest lecture at the Second Chronicle Roundtable in Abuja. "The nation will live longer thanks to His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu, choosing the path that will prevent the country's impending and inevitable economic collapse," he declared. Shettima predicted that the Tinubu-led administration's current reforms would soon pay off. "Once we get past these sacrifices, Nigeria's economy will soon see significant growth," he declared.
Many economic indicators—food security, GDP, inflation, per capita income, poverty reduction, and many other issues dear to our people's hearts—will soon show positive shifts. Rivers crisis: Abe and Wike resolve their long-running dispute Punch Newspaper provided the image. After Senator Magnus Abe said that he had "made peace" with former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, the long-running political rivalry between the two may finally be ended. In a Facebook post viewed by our correspondent on Thursday, Abe, the Social Democratic Party's candidate for governor of Rivers State in the general elections of 2023, claimed to have patched things up with Wike, who is currently the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.
Before the 2023 elections, Abe initially lost favour with his principal and previous state governor, Rotimi Amaechi, who chose Tonye Cole, a businessman and co-owner of Sahara Energy located in Lagos, as the All Progressives Congress' candidate for governor of the state. Google provided the image credit. However, Wike was content to have Siminalayi Fubara, his political godson and later the state's accountant general, succeed him. Wike apparently made some harsh comments after Amaechi's selection for Cole, which some commentators took to suggest that Amaechi had used and dumped Abe, who had been the secretary of the Rivers State Government during his first term. The two former friends kept their distance from each other ahead of the elections, despite the fact that there was never an open verbal altercation between Wike and Abe, who represented the Rivers South-East in the Red Chamber of the National Assembly. Abe's distance from Wike grew when he eventually obtained the SDP ticket and said he would win the governorship race. Dele Momodu: Tinubu's APC is intimidating the opposition and attempting to undermine the PDP. Dailypost is credited with this image. On Thursday, Dele Momodu, a prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), charged that the All Progressives Congress (APC) was using all necessary measures to discredit the opposition.
Momodu claimed that in an effort to destabilise the opposition, the APC would terrorise those who were not buyable and purchase those who were. When Momodu appeared on Channels Television's Politics Today, he held the APC responsible for all of the PDP's problems. Even though he was a successful opposition leader before his party ousted the PDP as the dominant party, he accused President Bola Tinubu of stifling opposition. "The APC will stop at nothing to crush the opposition; they will terrorise those who cannot be bought, buy those who can, and ensure that the party is in disarray, that's all." "You know, one of the reasons I admired Bola Ahmed Tinubu when he was the governor of Lagos was the opposition leader role he had. He remarked, "It's ironic that we have a former opposition leader in government and they don't want opposition." The principal opposition party in the 2023 presidential election suffered a crisis that it was unable to overcome, ultimately costing it the general election victory. Govs seek a sustainable minimum wage of N615,000. Punch Newspaper provided the image. In the ongoing negotiations, the Nigeria Governors' Forum on Thursday stressed that the government and organised labour must come up with a sustainable minimum wage. The NGF promised labour of the governors' commitment to pay the workers an increased salary in a communique signed by its chairman, Abdul Rahman AbdulRazaq, the governor of Kwara State, and released at the conclusion of its virtual meeting. The state governors were forewarned by the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress not to default on the new minimum wage that would be decided upon during the ongoing negotiations. A tripartite committee made up of government, labour, and business sector members was established by President Bola Tinubu in January to evaluate the N30,000 minimum wage that was put in place under former President Muhammadu Buhari. 
The NLC and the TUC, the two main labour unions, recently brought a proposal for a minimum salary of N615,000 to the committee. The administration declined to declare a new minimum wage during Wednesday's May Day celebrations, citing its unwillingness to embrace labor's proposal. But in a statement, the NGF stated that in order to decide an increased minimum wage that the states could support, it was evaluating the financial capabilities of each state government as well as the possible outcomes of various suggestions.
