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 […]

Nollywood actor and director Stanley Amandi has been arrested alongside several military officers over an alleged plot to overthrow President Bola Tinubu’s government.

Ndume warns northern anger over Tinubu may shape future elections

Senator Ali Ndume has warned that growing dissatisfaction in the North over the current state of governance could have serious electoral consequences if not addressed. Speaking on Arise Television’s Prime Time, the Borno South lawmaker said many northerners are unhappy and their frustration may eventually be reflected in their votes. He said anyone claiming there is no grumbling in the region is not being truthful. Ndume stressed that President Bola Tinubu still has time to turn things around but must urgently respond to the concerns being raised, especially on security, the economy and representation. He revealed that northern elders have previously met with President Tinubu to table their concerns. According to him, the President appeared prepared at those meetings and invited key appointees from the North for a robust discussion. However, Ndume said the follow up engagements the President promised […]

Obi challenges Tinubu over failed power promise after new grid collapse

Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has questioned President Bola Tinubu over his campaign promise to deliver steady electricity, following another collapse of Nigeria’s national grid in January 2026. In a statement posted on his verified X account on Wednesday, Obi recalled Tinubu’s 2022 campaign pledge that if he failed to provide stable power in his first four years in office, Nigerians should not vote for him for a second term. He said the recent power failures clearly contradict that promise and should concern all Nigerians. Obi noted that the national grid had already collapsed twice in January 2026, even before the end of the month, and about twelve times in 2025. He described the frequent collapses as a sign of deep problems in the power sector, despite repeated assurances from the government. He also criticised President Tinubu’s frequent […]
