Media aide to Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), 2023 presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar , Paul Ibe, has stated that his principal and the Labour Party (LP) counterpart, Peter Obi, have learnt their lessons in the last general election. Naija News recalls that Atiku and Peter Obi scored over six million votes each in the 2023 presidential election won by the All Progressive Congress (APC) candidate, Bola Tinubu, who got over eight million votes. Some political analysts have asserted that the PDP ruined its chance to wrest power from the APC by dividing its votes with Peter Obi, who dumped the party for LP. Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Monday, Paul Ibe said Atiku and Peter Obi would unite to overthrow the APC’s incompetent and clueless administration. Atiku’s aide also commented on the recent public visits between his principal and Peter Obi, saying synergy is the new name of politics. He said, “The truth of the matter is that Atiku Abubakar has promoted opposition parties to work together, to come together; that is the only way they can kick out this incompetent and clueless government. And I believe that discussions have been going on. “Lessons have been learnt from 2023 by all parties including Atiku Abubakar and I believe that it is on the basis of the lessons that have been learnt that they are moving forward and having discussions. “They have learnt that lesson and want to be united and go forward.” Ibe added that “all options are on the table” for Atiku but declined comment on whether his principal would step down for Peter Obi in the 2027 election.
The Analyst Verdict: ITT In The Eyes Of 6 Experts
Saudi Arabia Is All Set To Construct The World’s Largest Sports StadiumShould East Tennessee State go with a young, up-and-coming football coach or an older coach following the news that Tre Lamb is leaving after one season to take the Tulsa job? A trio of coaches with ties to the region rank among the early favorites as Lamb’s replacement. Over a dozen names have been mentioned in different outlets as coaches ETSU could choose. Mike Houston Houston is best known for leading James Madison to the 2016 FCS National Championship and the Dukes to back-to-back championship game appearances. He sported a 37-6 record in three seasons at JMU before moving to East Carolina. He led the Pirates to two bowl games from 2019-23 before being fired with a 3-4 record seven games into the 2024 season. His overall record at East Carolina was 27-38, which included a 2-10 record in 2023. Still, he’s a proven winner at other levels and has ties to the region. He went 29-8 in three seasons at Lenoir-Rhyne, and led the Bears to the 2013 Division II national championship game where they lost 43-28 to Northwest Missouri State. Houston, 53, also has knowledge of the Southern Conference. He went 14-11 in two seasons at The Citadel. He led the Bulldogs to a 9-4 record and the SoCon championship in 2015, the Bulldogs’ first league title since 1992. He was a high school coach in Western North Carolina, a prime recruiting area for the Bucs, prior to moving to the college game. Will Healy The Georgia State assistant coach is a Chattanooga native who previously served as a head coach at Austin Peay and Charlotte. Healy, 39, played quarterback at Air Force and later Richmond, where former Tennessee offensive coordinator Dave Clawson was the head coach. Healy got to celebrate the Spiders’ 2008 national championship win over Montana in his hometown of Chattanooga. He has plenty of knowledge of the Southern Conference. He returned to home and was the wide receivers coach at Chattanooga from 2009-15 where he earned the reputation as a top recruiter. While at Chattanooga, the Mocs earned at least a share of three straight SoCon titles from 2013-15. He took over an Austin Peay program in disarray in 2016 and the Governors suffered through an 0-11 season. His second year, the Governors finished 8-4 overall and 7-1 in the Ohio Valley Conference, which earned Healy both OVC and national coach of the year honors. Austin Peay finished 5-6 in his third season before he moved on to Charlotte. Healy finished 7-6 in his first season with the 49ers, who ended the regular season on a five-game win streak before losing to Buffalo in the Bahamas Bowl. The 49ers were 2-4 in the 2020 COVID season and 5-7 in 2021. The program, which was dormant from 1948 until 2013, scored its first win over a Power 5 program, 31-28 over Duke in the 2022 season opener. Coincidentally, his Charlotte team beat Lamb’s Gardner-Webb squad 38-10 in week two. But, the 49ers lost the final three games of the 2022 season and finished 5-6. He was let go after eight games in 2022 with a 1-7 record. He recruited current ETSU reserve quarterback Steven Johnson from Tennessee High to Charlotte. Healy served one year as an advisor to Central Florida head coach Gus Malzahn in 2023 before spending last season at Georgia State. Josh Reardon The Bucs’ associate head coach and defensive coordinator is an obvious contender if he decides to stay in Johnson City. While Lamb got much of the credit for ETSU’s turnaround, it was Reardon’s defense which was ranked No. 1 in the Southern Conference and No. 17 nationally. The Bucs were No. 9 in sacks, No. 10 in third-down defense, No. 13 in rushing defense and No. 19 in scoring defense. Reardon graduated from Central Michigan in 2006 where he played under coach Brian Kelly. He served as a graduate assistant at his alma mater two seasons and later was an assistant to Kelly at Notre Dame on the 2012 team that lost the BCS National Championship game to Alabama. In between, there were stops at Sacred Heart and Holy Cross. After Notre Dame, he spent three seasons at UConn, and one at Mercer where he coached under Bobby Lamb and Tre Lamb was on staff. He moved to Eastern Kentucky for two seasons before joining Tre Lamb at Gardner-Webb and the one season at ETSU. Others mentioned Shawn Clark Clark was recently fired at his alma mater Appalachian State after going 5-6 this season. Clark, a two-time All-American offensive lineman when App State was still playing in the Southern Conference, went 40-24 in six seasons with four bowl appearances and three bowl wins. App State began the 2024 season with a 38-10 win over East Tennessee State, but fell far short of expectations after being projected to win the Sun Belt Conference. Clark’s old-school offensive approach with a heavy emphasis on the running game proved effective for both Lamb and Randy Sanders, who led ETSU to a pair of Southern Conference titles. Brian Bohannon Bohannon was named Kennesaw State’s head coach when the Owls reinstated its football team in 2015. He led the Owls to three Big South Conference championships, was two-time Big South Coach of the Year and in 2017 was the national coach of the year. He posted a 72-38 overall record, which back-to-back FCS quarterfinal appearances in 2017-18. His history coaching against ETSU included a 56-16 win in the Bucs’ return to football in 2015 and a 20-17 loss to the Bucs a year later. Most memorable was the 32-31 loss to ETSU in the 2021 FCS playoffs. Paul Shelton Currently the offensive coordinator for No. 5-ranked UC Davis, which is scheduled to face No. 4 South Dakota in the FCS playoff quarterfinals, it’s his second stint with the Aggies. Quarterback Miles Hastings has passed for over 4,000 yards this season as UC Davis has posted an 11-2 record. Shelton, who grew up in Cocke County, played at Maryville College and graduated from ETSU. He was an assistant coach for six seasons at Unicoi County High School and then at Bearden. Before moving back to UC Davis, he coached South-Doyle in 2022-23 with a pair of 2-8 records. Kerwin Bell The current Western Carolina coach was a former star quarterback at the University of Florida. Bell played 13 seasons professionally in the NFL and CFL. He had a one-year break in his playing career in 1990 when he served as a graduate assistant under Steve Spurrier at Florida. Once his playing days were over, he had a successful high coaching career where he won a state championship in Florida. He was coach at Jacksonville from 2007-15 and then three years at Valdosta State where his team won the 2018 NCAA Division II National Championship. He has posted a winning record in three of his four seasons at Western Carolina. While it might looked at as a neutral move, it should be easier to recruit in Johnson City than Cullowhee. Bell’s son, Kade, the current offensive coordinator at Pitt, has also been mentioned as a candidate. Steve Wilks Wilks has an extensive coaching history in both the college ranks and the NFL. He was defensive coordinator for both the Carolina Panthers and San Francisco 49ers during runs to the Super Bowl. He was head coach for the Arizona Cardinals in 2018 and interim head coach for the Panthers in 2022. He served as ETSU’s defensive coordinator in 2002, and had was a college assistant at Power 5 schools — Notre Dame, Washington, Illinois and Missouri. Specializing as a defensive backs coach, he’s also been an assistant with the Bears, Chargers and Browns. ETSU ALUMNI Chris Beatty Beatty, the interim offensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears, was a wide receiver for the Bucs in the 1990s. His background includes seven years as a Virginia high school coach, leading Landstown High School to a state title in 2004. Much of his career, he has specialized in coaching wide receivers at Power 5 schools including West Virginia, Vanderbilt, Illinois, Wisconsin, Virginia, Maryland and Pitt. He took his talents to the NFL in 2021 with the Chargers before joining the Bears this season. Billy Taylor The current Tusculum coach was the longtime ETSU defensive coordinator and passed over as head coach on multiple occasions. No one has the unwavering loyalty to ETSU, a linebacker for the Bucs and captain of the team in 1987, that Taylor has. He was the defensive coordinator under Paul Hamilton when the Bucs dropped football and under Carl Torbush when the program was reinstated. He was the coordinator when ETSU won Southern Conference championships under Randy Sanders in 2018 and 2021. Marcus Satterfield Another former ETSU wide receiver, Satterfield currently serves as the tight ends coach at Nebraska. He was recently demoted from his offensive coordinator position after nine games this season. He was widely celebrated for his role as South Carolina offensive coordinator in 2021 and 2022, which included wins over Tennessee and Clemson to end the regular season. Well familiar with the Southern Conference, he had two stints with Chattanooga and was the Mocs’ offensive coordinator from 2009-12. He’s also a former wide receivers coach at Western Carolina. He served one year as an offensive line coach with the Carolina Panthers in the NFL. Stay Informed: Subscribe to Our Newsletter Today
