Speaking at the inauguration of the Rivers State Renewed Hope Ambassadors headquarters in Port Harcourt, Wike said any senator, representative, minister or governor who supports betrayal should expect to face the same treatment in future. He noted that second term governors trying to impose successors while backing treachery would “never survive it,” adding that such problems usually start immediately after the new governor is sworn in.

State govts to share electricity subsidy costs with FG — Presidency

The Federal Government says state governments will now jointly bear the cost of electricity subsidy along with the centre, following a directive by President Bola Tinubu to restructure how power subsidies are funded. According to Vanguard, funding for electricity subsidies will be channelled through the Power Assistance Consumers Fund (PCAF), a government backed pool created to support low income and vulnerable households with targeted bill relief instead of blanket subsidies. Director General of the Budget Office of the Federation, Tanimu Yakubu, disclosed the new policy at a 2026 Post Budget Preparation workshop in Abuja, saying states that enjoy the political benefits of low electricity tariffs must also help fill the financing gap created by subsidies. In remarks delivered on his behalf by Director of Expenditure (Social), Yusuf Muhammed, Yakubu quoted the President as directing that a “clearer framework” be operationalised […]

Gen Musa: How coup attempt was foiled at planning stage

Defence Minister General Christopher Musa has revealed how Nigerian security agencies foiled a planned coup at the “planning stage”, describing the plotters as a disgruntled group led by a colonel who failed promotion to brigadier general.​ Speaking on Channels Television, Musa said the officer, angered by his failure to meet promotion requirements, began mobilising other aggrieved elements within the Armed Forces, but joint monitoring by the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA), National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Department of State Services (DSS) and other security outfits exposed the plot early. He explained that this was why the military initially denied rumours of a coup last October, insisting investigators needed time to identify the real conspirators and avoid arresting innocent officers.​ The Defence Headquarters has now confirmed that investigations indicted 16 officers who will face court martial, though Musa declined to name the mastermind […]
