2027: Kwankwaso Will Be Partner As VP, Not ‘Spare Tyre’ – Peter Obi

Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) for the 2027 election, Peter Obi, says his running mate, former Kano State governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, will serve as a full partner in governance and not a ceremonial “spare tyre” if they win. Obi made the declaration while accepting his nomination as NDC presidential candidate and formally announcing Kwankwaso as his vice-presidential pick. He pledged to run an inclusive administration in which the vice president would be actively involved in decision-making, policy formulation, and oversight of key sectors. “The government we intend to form will no longer be a government where anybody will say that the vice president is a spare tyre,” Obi said. “The vice president will be a partner because we want to build a nation where there are two equal people who work for the greatness of the […]

SERAP Urges UN To Act On Nigeria’s Insecurity Crisis

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has called on United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres to urgently act on Nigeria’s escalating insecurity crisis, warning that it threatens regional and international peace. In an open letter dated May 30, 2026, signed by SERAP’s deputy director Kolawole Oluwadare, the group urged Guterres to invoke Article 99 of the UN Charter and formally bring Nigeria’s worsening situation—marked by mass abductions, killings, attacks on civilians, displacement, and other grave human rights violations—to the attention of the UN Security Council. SERAP asked the UN chief to encourage regular and public Security Council briefings on insecurity, abductions, and humanitarian consequences in Nigeria, and to request systematic reporting by relevant UN bodies on attacks, displacement, and their wider impact on civilians. The organisation also urged him to publicly call on Nigerian authorities to uphold their human rights […]

NDLEA Foils Shipment of High-Potency Drugs Hidden in Water Purifiers

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has foiled a shipment of high-potency opioids concealed inside industrial water purifiers, disrupting yet another sophisticated attempt to move dangerous drugs through Nigeria. According to the agency, the intercepted consignment contained large quantities of powerful opioids similar to those previously recovered from illegal warehouses, including high-strength tramadol and other controlled pharmaceutical substances. The traffickers allegedly packed the drugs in sealed compartments within the water purifiers to evade detection during routine checks. NDLEA officials said credible intelligence led operatives to the cargo before it could leave the country, with the operation coordinated alongside other security and port authorities. The seizure follows recent major busts in which the agency uncovered multi-billion naira opioid warehouses and dismantled a massive methamphetamine laboratory in Ogun State. The agency warned that criminal networks are increasingly turning to household and […]

Why Filmmakers Can’t Use Afrobeats Songs by Dammy Twitch

Music video director and filmmaker Dammy Twitch has explained why Nollywood producers can no longer freely use Afrobeats songs in their movies, citing artists selling their music rights to distribution companies as the primary reason. The reason is that most of the distribution companies Nigerian musicians use are based in the US or the UK since they don't have the infrastructure to handle rights management in Nigeria. Once artists sell their songs, filmmakers cannot afford the licensing fees required to use them in films. Dammy Twitch stated: "I think because people have sold their song already, so it gets to a point where I want to use this song for my film, for example, I can't afford it." He noted that many artists have already sold their music rights to distribution companies, making them inaccessible or prohibitively expensive for Nollywood […]

AY Makun Calls for National Unity in Fight Against Insecurity

Popular Nigerian comedian, actor, and filmmaker Ayo Makun, widely known as AY Makun, has called for national unity in the fight against Nigeria's escalating insecurity, describing the country as turning into a "crime scene" amid rising bandit attacks and kidnappings. AY Makun argued that financial ties to political interests can weaken accountability in Nigeria's security and governance system. He emphasized that Nigerians must unite across ethnic, religious, and political lines to demand real action from the government and security agencies to end the crisis. The comedian's comments come amid recent attacks involving school kidnappings, killings of security personnel, and increased bandit activities across Nigeria. He wrote that bandits now storm churches to kill and abduct Christians, while children are kidnapped from schools and even a Brigadier General was shot dead. AY lamented that "every day brings fresh chaos yet the […]
