Kwankwaso and Governor Yusuf split over APC defection move

Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s plan to defect from the New Nigeria Peoples Party to the All Progressives Congress has widened his rift with NNPP leader Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and split the party’s structures in Kano. As Yusuf marked his 63rd birthday in Abuja with top officials and allies, Kwankwaso stayed back in Kano, opening a loyalty register for office holders and holding meetings with Kwankwasiyya loyalists to confirm who still stands with him.​ The governor is said to enjoy the backing of all 40 members of the Kano State House of Assembly and the 44 local government chairmen, positioning him strongly for a move to the APC. However, NNPP federal lawmakers from Kano are divided, with some already crossing to the APC while others, such as Umar Mukhtari Zakari of Tarauni, openly oppose the defection plan.​ Several […]

Trump says one in three Nigerian immigrant households in US rely on public benefits

US President Donald Trump has claimed that just over one third of Nigerian immigrant households in the United States receive some form of public assistance. In a chart shared on his Truth Social account on January 4, 2026, he highlighted “immigrant welfare recipient rates by country of origin,” saying 33.3 percent of Nigerian households fall into this category.​ The chart, which covers over 100 countries and territories, lists the share of immigrant households said to be accessing programmes such as food support, healthcare assistance and other welfare benefits. Trump’s post comes as Republicans intensify debates over immigration, welfare dependency and the economic contribution of migrants, with the president using the figures to argue for tougher entry rules and eligibility conditions.​ The data source and methodology behind the chart were not fully detailed in Trump’s post, prompting calls from commentators and […]

Dangote Refinery denies shutdown rumours, says petrol output remains strong

Dangote Petroleum Refinery has rejected claims that it shut down its petrol processing operations, insisting the plant is running at scale and able to supply between 40 million and 50 million litres of petrol daily. The company said recent routine maintenance on some units did not halt overall production and accused some marketers of spreading rumours to justify higher pump and gantry prices.​ According to refinery officials and a formal company statement, the facility recently delivered about 43.3 million litres of petrol to the Nigerian market in a single day, with output on January 4 reaching 50 million litres and 48 million litres evacuated via its gantry. Dangote added that current stock levels are enough to cover more than 20 days of national consumption, saying this should calm fears about shortages or a production halt.​ The refinery noted that while […]

Terrorists abduct travellers on major Kwara highway

Suspected terrorists have attacked the busy Isanlu–Isin–Omu Aran highway in Kwara State, abducting at least four passengers in an early morning ambush. The road is a key route linking communities in Kwara South to the state capital, Ilorin, and is heavily used by commercial drivers and commuters.​ Witnesses said the gunmen, believed to be bandits, emerged from the bush, stopped vehicles and forced travellers out at gunpoint before whisking several victims to an unknown location. Residents reported that the attackers operated without resistance and warned that armed groups have been roaming the area for days, targeting motorists heading towards Ilorin.​ As at the time of reporting, the Kwara State Police Command had yet to issue a detailed public statement on the latest incident, though earlier alerts confirmed similar abductions along the Obbo Aiyegunle Osi axis of the Ekiti Local Government […]

US never targeted me in Sokoto airstrikes, says Gumi

Kaduna based Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has dismissed reports that he was targeted by the United States during recent joint Nigeria US airstrikes on terrorist camps in Sokoto State. He described the claims as fake news, explaining that people had misinterpreted an old video in which he spoke about threats to his life more than a decade ago.​ Gumi said the viral clip being shared online referred to an incident in August 2012, when he was allegedly marked for assassination by Boko Haram near his residence. According to him, two suspected attackers died after the explosive device they were carrying reportedly detonated before they could reach him, and the episode had nothing to do with the latest air operations in Sokoto.​ In a statement posted on his official social media page, the cleric insisted he never suggested that US […]
