'Opposition must not take advantage of our flaws', says Lukman

Lukman described the formation of the reconciliation committee as a step towards ensuring the same obligation and target ahead of the 2023 polls.
He further urged that the same step should be adopted across all states in order to settle the rift among aggrieved members and also support each candidate in achieving their goals at the polls.
PDP woos APC's youngest presidential aspirant
Nicholas Felix, the youngest presidential aspirant in the APC primaries, had been wooed by the PDP with a governorship ticket.
Felix confirmed that he had been receiving such an offer from some chieftain of the PDP, but he did not have that in his plan for now.
This development came barely a month after Felix raised an alarm about being sidelined from the presidential campaign of the APC's flag bearer, Bola Tinubu.
