Trump Says He Was Too Busy to Meet Kim Jong Un

US President Donald Trump has stated that he did not meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un during his recent trip to South Korea because his schedule was too full. Speaking to reporters on Air Force One, Trump referenced his past relationship with Kim, saying, "I had a great relationship with Kim Jong Un." He did not provide a specific reason for the lack of a meeting beyond being "busy." However, the President left the door open for a future encounter, suggesting he could "come back" for a meeting at another time. The remark indicates a potential willingness to re-engage with the North Korean leader after a period of stalled diplomatic efforts.

UPDATED: Tinubu reverses Maryam Sanda’s pardon, reduces sentence to 12 years imprisonment

President Bola Tinubu has reversed the presidential pardon earlier granted to Maryam Sanda, who was sentenced to death in 2020 for killing her husband, Bilyaminu Bello, the son of former PDP chairman, Haliru Bello. In an official gazette released on Wednesday by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Sanda’s clemency has been reviewed. Her death sentence was converted to a 12-year jail term, meaning she will serve approximately six more years, having already spent six years and eight months in custody at the Suleja Medium Security Custodial Centre. The gazette, titled “Reduced Terms,” stated that Sanda’s new sentence was approved on “compassionate grounds, in the best interest of her children and due to her good conduct, remorse, and reformation while in custody.” The review follows widespread criticism of the President’s initial pardon list, which […]

Tinubu reviews clemency list, drops high-risk offenders, orders secretariat’s relocation

President Bola Tinubu has approved a revised list of individuals to benefit from his constitutional prerogative of mercy, granting pardons and sentence reductions to selected convicts. The review followed consultations with the Council of State and public criticism of the initial list released earlier in October. According to the Presidency, the review was conducted under Section 175(1) and (2) of the 1999 Constitution, which empowers the president to grant pardons and exercise clemency. Individuals convicted of serious crimes, including kidnapping, drug trafficking, human trafficking, fraud, and illegal possession of firearms, were removed from the list. Some offenders previously slated for pardon had their sentences reduced instead of being fully released. The Presidency said the review considered the seriousness of offences, impact on victims, national security concerns, and Nigeria’s international obligations. The final list has been sent to the Nigerian Correctional […]

Coalition faults push for Sharia law, cites breach of 1999 constitution

A coalition of civil rights and faith-based organisations has condemned renewed efforts to expand the implementation of Sharia law in Nigeria, describing it as a violation of the 1999 Constitution and a threat to national unity and human rights. The coalition, operating under the banner End Sharia Now, includes groups such as One Nation One Law, Global Network of Christian Faith and Truth, and Love a Muslim Ministry. In a statement signed by Benson Sunday on Wednesday, the coalition said attempts to institutionalise Sharia beyond personal faith practices contradict the Constitution’s secular foundation. Responding to comments from some Islamic scholars who argued that there was “no justification for opposing Sharia in Nigeria,” the coalition cited sections 10 and 42 of the 1999 Constitution, which prohibit the adoption of any state religion and guarantee equality of all citizens regardless of faith.

Too bad I’m not allowed to run for third term – Trump

US President Donald Trump has acknowledged that he cannot seek a third term in office, saying the US Constitution bars him from doing so despite growing calls from supporters for another run in 2028. Speaking aboard Air Force One on Wednesday, Trump said, “I have my highest poll numbers that I’ve ever had and, you know, based on what I read, I guess I’m not allowed to run, so we’ll see what happens… It’s too bad.” The US Constitution’s 22nd Amendment limits presidents to two terms. Trump, who returned to the White House in January, is now serving his second term after his first stint from 2017 to 2021. Trump has often joked about extending his time in power and has displayed red hats with the slogan “Trump 2028” on his desk in the Oval Office. Some of his supporters […]

NASU accuses govt of neglecting workers welfare

The Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU) has accused the Federal Government of playing politics with the welfare of Nigerian workers. The union said officials often provoke strikes through neglect and insincerity, only to punish workers for exercising their rights. Speaking at the opening of NASU’s National Executive Council meeting in Abuja, the General Secretary, Prince Peters Adeyemi, criticised the government’s frequent threats to apply the “No Work, No Pay” policy. He described the move as a deliberate attempt to intimidate workers and criminalise legitimate union activities. Adeyemi said such behaviour exposes the government’s double standards and undermines industrial peace and workers’ confidence. He explained that unions only embark on strikes after the government repeatedly fails to honour agreements and ignores collective bargaining processes. “Union leaders are not irrational individuals who declare strikes for fun. Strikes are […]

Putin defies Trump with second nuclear weapons test in days

Russia has carried out a new test of a nuclear-capable underwater drone, President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday, marking the country’s second nuclear weapons test within days despite warnings from US President Donald Trump. During a visit to a military hospital treating soldiers wounded in Ukraine, Putin said the test involved the “Poseidon” unmanned underwater vehicle, which is equipped with a nuclear power unit. He claimed the drone torpedo could travel faster than any submarine and was impossible to intercept. “There is no way to intercept this system,” Putin said, adding that Poseidon can reach any continent and dive deeper than existing underwater weapons. According to Russia’s state news agency TASS, the drone can operate at depths greater than one kilometre and travel at speeds of up to 70 knots while remaining undetectable. It can also carry a nuclear warhead […]
