The times are becoming precarious, tempers are rising and the stakes are getting higher as political actors are consistently getting on the edge ahead of the 2023 general elections.
With still about 2 years to go, political actors, especially those with eyes on one office or the other, either directly or by proxy, have become very visible, especially in the media, acting and speaking out.
DAILY POST presents some of the latest outbursts of leading political leaders in the country.
Fani-Kayode’s ‘Stinking’ Letter to Tinubu
In a diatribe that many Nigerians found too assertive and utterly predictive, Fani-Kayode pointedly told the National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, that he cannot be president, in apparent reference to the rumoured presidential ambition of the former Lagos State Governor.

A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Funke Aboyade, speaks to OLADIMEJI RAMON about her childhood, career journey and related issues
Where were you born and what kind of upbringing did you have?
I was born in Ibadan but then spent my first year of life in Michigan in the United States. At other stages of my childhood, part of my elementary school was also in the United States, but basically I grew up at the University of Ibadan where both my parents were professors. My parents were strict but loving; my dad, especially, was quite the disciplinarian. We did household chores even though we had domestic staff; my mother certainly did not cut us any slack in that regard. We were encouraged to read widely and my parents regularly bought us loads of books, magazines, comics, encyclopaedia and the like. So, reading was second nature to us. We were also encouraged to be curious and to think independently and logically.
