Court adjourns Tukur Mamu’s fundamental rights suit against AGF

Justice Mohammed Umar fixed the new date for adoption of final written addresses after asking counsel to further address the court on the relationship between Section 36 of the 1999 Constitution and Section 49 of the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act 2022. The matter had earlier come up for adoption of written addresses but could not proceed. Mamu, through his lawyer Johnson Usman (SAN), argues that the AGF’s decision to label him a terrorist in official and media communications violates his right to presumption of innocence under Section 36(5) of the Constitution. He contends that it is illegal, immoral and against religious principles to brand him a terrorist before any conviction by the court where he is facing trial. Usman told the court that he attached printouts of media reports where Mamu was described as a terrorist to support the […]

Days of reckoning: How El Rufai’s controversial legacy is catching up with him

Nasir El Rufai, former governor of Kaduna State and ex minister of the Federal Capital Territory, is facing intense scrutiny as corruption probes and public backlash put his record in office under a harsh spotlight. Once seen by many as a tough reformer, he is now battling allegations of financial mismanagement, human rights abuses and divisive politics from his years in power. Investigations ordered by his successor, Governor Uba Sani, and followed up by anti graft agencies have reportedly uncovered huge debt overhangs, controversial loan deals and contracts said to have been paid for but not executed. A Kaduna State House of Assembly ad hoc committee recommended his prosecution, accusing his administration of abuse of office, inflated contracts, money laundering and diversion of public funds. Critics also point to El Rufai’s long record of polarising decisions and statements, including mass […]

APC: FCT, Kano, Rivers victories are clear referendum on Tinubu govt

The All Progressives Congress has described its victories in the recent elections in the Federal Capital Territory, Kano and Rivers States as a clear referendum in favour of President Bola Tinubu’s administration. Party leaders say the results show growing public approval of the president’s reforms despite economic hardship and opposition criticism. In separate statements, the APC National Chairman, Prof Nentawe Yilwatda, and the Lagos State chapter hailed the outcomes as a “resounding endorsement” of Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda. They argued that voters used the FCT council polls and by elections in Rivers and Kano to reward the ruling party for what they called bold leadership, infrastructure projects and efforts to stabilise the economy. The Lagos APC spokesman, Seye Oladejo, said the “resounding victories” recorded by APC candidates across the affected constituencies reaffirm the electorate’s confidence in Tinubu’s policies at both […]

2027 polls: APC, four parties set as 16 others battle candidate crises

With less than a year to the start of candidate submissions for the 2027 general elections, only the ruling All Progressives Congress and four other parties are considered ready, while about 16 others are entangled in leadership and candidate selection crises. The situation follows the release of the 2027 election timetable by the Independent National Electoral Commission, which has intensified pressure on parties to put their houses in order. The APC is seen as the most organised, with President Bola Tinubu widely expected to seek a second term and face little or no internal challenge for the presidential ticket, even though party leaders insist the race remains formally open. A few smaller parties, including some with regional strength, have also begun early consultations and are close to resolving their presidential and governorship choices.​ In contrast, major opposition platforms like the […]

Obasanjo urges reforms, restoration of law programme at NOUN

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has called for major reforms at the National Open University of Nigeria, including the restoration of its suspended law programme. He described the law degree as vital for widening access to professional education, especially for working adults and those unable to attend regular universities. Obasanjo made the appeal in Abeokuta when he received the new NOUN Vice Chancellor, Prof Uduma Uduma, and members of his management team. He urged the institution to modernise its operations, increase student enrolment and make better use of technology and artificial intelligence in teaching and learning. The former president, who once studied at NOUN and played a key role in its growth, praised the university’s contributions to expanding access to higher education across Nigeria.
