Plateau Peace Advocates for Good Governance and Social Stability, PPAGGSS has called on members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Plateau State to resist divisive tendencies and preserve what it described as a rare moment of political unity across the state.

In a statement issued by its National Coordinator, Ibrahim D. Lengshak, the group warned that allowing internal cracks within the party could reverse the gains recorded in recent efforts to stabilise the state politically and socially.

According to the group, Plateau is witnessing an unprecedented level of political convergence, cutting across party lines and interests, a development it said should not be sacrificed on the altar of personal ambition or external manipulation.

PPAGGSS specifically cautioned both longstanding members of the APC and new entrants into the party to avoid actions or utterances and promotion of divisions and sharing ratios only known to those promoting the division.

The group urged party faithful to draw inspiration from leading political figures in the state, including Governor Caleb Mutfwang, APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda, and former governor Simon Lalong, whom it credited with setting aside political differences to foster cohesion.
“So far, these leaders have not disappointed us in their common zeal for the good of the state and the party and it behoves those who claim to support them not to break ranks.
“The unity we are beginning to see on the Plateau is not accidental. It is the product of deliberate efforts by leaders who have chosen to rise above differences for the common good,” Ishaku said.

PPAGGSS noted that the alignment among these leaders represents a strategic foundation for peace and development, stressing that their example should guide grassroots supporters and stakeholders within the party.

The group also raised concern over what it described as the activities of “divisive elements” seeking to exploit perceived differences within the APC for personal gain.
“These are individuals who neither laboured for the present stability nor contributed to the building of consensus, yet they are eager to sow discord for selfish reasons,” the statement said.

It warned that such tendencies, if unchecked, could plunge the state back into a cycle of political fragmentation that has historically undermined governance and security.
Emphasising the broader implications of unity, PPAGGSS said that a cohesive political front is essential in addressing the lingering security challenges affecting communities across Plateau.

According to the group, insecurity remains a shared concern that transcends political affiliations, making it imperative for stakeholders to close ranks rather than deepen divisions.
“Plateau cannot afford to return to an era where political differences weaken collective resolve. The threats we face today require unity, cooperation, and a shared commitment to peace,” Ishaku added.

The group, therefore, urged APC members to project a united front in both words and actions, stressing that sustaining the current atmosphere of cooperation would be critical in consolidating peace, strengthening governance, and advancing development across the state.

As the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) dissolved the party’s entire Kano State Working Committee (SWC), the removed State Chairman of the party, Dr Bello Gambo Bichi, said he accepted the action as his sacrifice for a better PDP.

According to a letter dated Thursday, September 24, 2026, and signed by the PDP National Organising Secretary, Hon. Umar M. Bature, the dissolution took immediate effect.

Responding to the dissolution, Bichi explained that he wholly accepted his removal because it was part of the preconditions laid down by former state governorship candidate Dalhatu, who also sacrificed his candidacy for Muhammad Abacha.

The letter, addressed to the Kano State PDP chairman and titled “Dissolution of PDP State Working Committee, Kano State”, stated that the decision followed due consultations by the party’s National Working Committee.

“the entire PDP State Working Committee (SWC) for Kano State chaired by Dr. Bello Gambo Bichi is hereby DISSOLVED with effect from the date of this letter,” the letter stated.

However, the national leadership clarified that the dissolution affected only the State Working Committee, stressing that the party’s Ward and Local Government Area (LGA) working committees remained intact.

“This dissolution affects the State Working Committee ONLY. The Ward and LGA Working Committees are NOT AFFECTED by this dissolution,” the letter stated.

The PDP national leadership further announced that the North-West Caretaker Committee would henceforth take charge of the affairs of the Kano State chapter pending the election of a new State Working Committee.

Dr Bello Gambo Bichi hinted that the new Electoral Act mandated that, in the case of changes within a party, the person to be replaced must put it in writing that they had agreed to step down and must also be allowed to give their personal conditions.

“When we agreed to reconciled PDP in Kano and bring Muhammad Abacha to replace our Candidate, because we believes he is more powerful to go for the seat, Dalhatu gives out some Condition including dissolving my State Executive which I agreed as a sacrifice”, he added.

Nigerian-born rugby youngster Immanuel Feyi-Waboso has been tipped to excel with England’s national team in days to come, especially during next year’s global showpiece, Sports247 reports.

The verdict came from the winger’s coach at Exeter RC, Rob Baxter, who believes 23-year-old Feyi-Waboso will be a revelation at next year’s Rugby World Cup if he can keep fit throughout this season.

Baxter’s verdict came while recollecting that Feyi-Waboso helped The Chiefs reach last season’s English Rugby Premiership final but later on missed the Six Nations series after suffering a hamstring injury in February.

Feyi-Waboso also missed the final game of the season and Exeter’s play-off semi-final win at Bath, after fracturing his jaw in a game away to Leicester at the end of May, all of which Baxter noted slowed down his progress.

However, with the lad having returned to action with Exeter at Twickenham and then starred for England in their Nations Championship matches, Baxter is optimistic that his protégé can reach greater heights next year.

“I think if he can really put a run of games together, he could be quite a force come World Cup time because he is an exceptional player. There are areas of his game where time improves some of those elements.
“If he can put a good run together, I think it’d be quite exciting what England might see from him both in the autumn and during the World Cup later in the year,” Baxter reasoned glowingly in favour of Feyi-Waboso.

Sports247 gathered further that Feyi-Waboso played 28 games for club and country in 2024, the most since his breakthrough the year before, but the following season was blighted by a shoulder injury he suffered just before Christmas.

That injury kept him out until the summer of 2025, but he returned last season to score 13 tries in all competitions, as Exeter made the play-offs for the first time since 2021 and reached the semi-finals of the European Challenge Cup.
