Rooney warns struggling Tottenham face relegation fight

Wayne Rooney says Tottenham Hotspur are now in a relegation fight after their poor Premier League form continued with a 2-0 defeat to Manchester United. The loss extended Spurs’ winless run in the league to seven matches and left them 15th in the table, six points above the relegation zone.​ Tottenham finished 17th last season, a disappointing campaign that led to the sacking of Ange Postecoglou despite the club winning the Europa League. Rooney said on his show that, given their current form and position, it is realistic to say they are battling to avoid the drop.​ He noted that clubs such as West Ham and Nottingham Forest are picking up results, which increases the pressure on Spurs as they look over their shoulders.

Obi leads NASS protest over real time result transmission

Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi on Monday led a protest at the National Assembly demanding the restoration of real time electronic transmission of election results in the Electoral Act Amendment Bill.​ The protest, tagged Occupy the National Assembly, drew hundreds of members of the Obidient Movement and civil society groups, who described the removal of the phrase real time as a setback for electoral transparency ahead of the 2027 general elections.​ The Senate had recently passed the Electoral Act 2022 Repeal and Reenactment Amendment Bill 2026, but critics faulted the decision to delete real time from sections on electronic transmission of results. They argued that this change could weaken safeguards against vote manipulation.​ Lawmakers have insisted that electronic transmission of results remains in the law, but protesters said removing the real time clause could allow post election interference […]

Nigeria’s future must be decided by Nigerians, says ex-Canterbury Archbishop

Former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rt. Rev. Justin Welby, says Nigeria’s future must be determined by Nigerians themselves, warning against any actions that undermine the country’s sovereignty. Welby spoke at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, during a public lecture titled “Building Inter-Ethnic and Religious Harmony in Nigeria: Pathways to National Unity,” held as part of activities for ABU’s 45th convocation. He stressed that defending Nigeria’s sovereignty is a shared responsibility that goes beyond government to include political, economic, spiritual, social, legal and traditional leaders.

He cautioned that dreams of national unity would remain “vain” unless they are grounded in the nation’s history and reflect its political, economic and social realities, as well as global influences.
