Coalition condemns Sowore, backs Umahi on debt dispute

A coalition of civil society organisations has criticised activist Omoyele Sowore over his recent public confrontation with Minister of Works David Umahi, describing it as mere theatrics. The group defended Umahi over allegations by Tracy Ohiri, who claims the minister owes her money for campaign materials and used the police to intimidate her. Members of the coalition said Sowore’s viral engagement with Umahi on the issue was a calculated attempt to dramatise an ongoing legal matter and mislead the public.​​ They argued that Sowore’s style of activism focuses on spectacle rather than facts and due process and urged Nigerians to be cautious about drawing conclusions from social media clips.​​ The coalition maintained that the police acted on a formal petition and within their constitutional powers, not on the instructions of Umahi for any personal vendetta. They also claimed that Ohiri’s […]

Gunmen attack Delta APC congress, Ibori Suenu escapes alleged assassination

Gunmen stormed an All Progressives Congress ward congress in Delta State on Saturday, forcing House of Representatives member Erhiatake Ibori Suenu to be whisked away by security operatives in what her camp described as an assassination attempt. The attack happened during the exercise in Ughelli, throwing the venue into confusion.​ Witnesses said the assailants arrived suddenly and began shooting, causing delegates, party officials and supporters to run in different directions. Security personnel at the event quickly moved Ibori Suenu out of the area as gunfire continued.​ No deaths had been officially confirmed at the time of filing the report, but some participants were said to have sustained injuries while trying to escape. Vehicles and other property were also reportedly damaged in the chaos.​ Ibori Suenu’s associates alleged that the attack was politically motivated and targeted at eliminating her because of […]

ICPC raids El Rufai’s Abuja home amid corruption probe

Operatives of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission have searched the Abuja residence of former Kaduna State governor Nasir El Rufai. The raid took place on Thursday while the former governor remained in the custody of the anti graft agency over an ongoing investigation.

El Rufai demands answers over alleged toxic chemical purchase by ONSA

Former Kaduna State governor Nasir El Rufai has accused the Office of the National Security Adviser, led by Nuhu Ribadu, of procuring an odourless and highly poisonous chemical substance. He raised the alarm in a letter asking the NSA to explain why about 10 kilograms of thallium sulphate were allegedly imported from a supplier in Poland. In the letter, which he shared on his social media page, El Rufai described thallium sulphate as a dangerous and tightly regulated substance. He said information about the procurement had reached opposition leaders and insisted that Nigerians deserve full transparency on the intended use. El Rufai asked the NSA to confirm whether the purchase was authorised, under which law it was made and for what specific security purpose. He also requested clarity on the storage, handling and safeguards put in place to prevent abuse […]

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed February 20, 2027, for Nigeria’s presidential and National Assembly elections. The Commission said the date is in line with constitutional and Electoral Act provisions that require election notices to be issued at least 360 days before voting.

Under the schedule, governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections will hold on March 6, 2027, two weeks after the presidential and National Assembly polls. The Commission said the early release of dates is to give political parties, candidates, civil society and security agencies enough […]

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 […]

Tinubu salutes Bisi Akande’s national legacy at 87

President Bola Tinubu has paid glowing tribute to elder statesman Chief Bisi Akande on his 87th birthday, describing him as a pillar of Nigeria’s democracy and a builder of modern party politics. In a special message, Tinubu praised the former Osun State governor and pioneer National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for his life of service, sacrifice and unwavering commitment to progressive ideals.​ Tinubu recalled Akande’s journey from his early career as an accountant with British Petroleum to key roles in public service, including Secretary to the Government and Deputy Governor of old Oyo State before becoming governor of Osun between 1999 and 2003. He noted that as Interim Chairman of the APC, Akande laid the foundation for the coalition that unseated an incumbent federal government for the first time in Nigeria’s history in 2015.​ The president lauded […]

Tinubu broke education pact, abandoned Nigerian students abroad, Atiku alleges

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of breaching Nigeria’s bilateral education agreements and abandoning more than 1,600 scholarship students overseas. He described the situation of the affected scholars as a national disgrace, alleging that many are facing hunger, eviction and severe hardship in their host countries.​ In a statement shared on his social media pages, Atiku claimed that students under the Bilateral Education Agreement scheme have gone months without receiving their stipends. He said monthly allowances were first cut by over half and then stopped altogether in 2025, leaving each student reportedly owed thousands of dollars in arrears.​ The BEA programme, launched in the 1990s, is based on education pacts with countries such as Russia, China, Morocco and Hungary. Atiku argued that failing to honour these obligations not only endangers students’ welfare but also damages […]
