Wale busari02 mins

Vice President Kashim Shettima has left Abuja for Belem, Brazil, to represent President Bola Tinubu at the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference, starting Tuesday, November 6. According to Stanley Nkwocha, Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Communication, Shettima will join world leaders, business executives, and global development partners for the two-day summit, which is hosted by Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The event, themed “Climate Action and Implementation,” will focus on adaptation, forest protection, biodiversity, and climate justice. On the first day, Shettima is expected to deliver Nigeria’s climate action address during the general plenary, participate in the launch of the Tropical Forest Forever Fund, and attend a roundtable on Climate and Nature chaired by President Lula. He will also join an Amazonian Cocktail for heads of delegation. On the second day, he will take part in discussions on energy transition and the Paris Agreement, emphasizing countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions and global climate finance. Shettima is also set to hold bilateral talks to secure Nigeria’s role in global carbon markets, potentially unlocking $2.5bn–$3bn annually in carbon finance over the next decade. Following the summit, he will visit Brasília for a diplomatic meeting with Brazilian Vice President Geraldo Alckmin, focusing on strengthening Nigeria–Brazil cooperation in sectors such as defence, agriculture, energy, and culture. Shettima is expected back in Nigeria after completing his engagements in Brazil.

Wale busari01 mins

An Oyo State High Court has ruled that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its National Chairman, Ambassador Umar Damagum, can go ahead with the party’s national convention scheduled for November 15 and 16, 2025, in Ibadan. Justice A.L. Akintola handed down the decision on Monday after considering an ex parte application filed by Folahan Malomo Adelabi. The suit named the PDP, Damagum, Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as defendants. Adelabi had sought a court order to prevent any interference with the approved timetable, guidelines, and procedures for the election of new national officers. By granting the application, the court directed the PDP leadership to follow the sanctioned schedule, effectively clearing the path for the long-awaited convention to take place as planned.

Tinubu Nominates Enugu Attorney-General Kingsley Udeh As Minister

Wale busari02 mins

President Bola Tinubu has forwarded the name of Enugu State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Dr. Kingsley Tochukwu-Udeh, to the Senate for confirmation as a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The nomination was announced on the Senate floor on Tuesday by Senate President Godswill Akpabio. In a letter, Tinubu cited Section 147(2) of the 1999 Constitution, which empowers the President to appoint ministers subject to Senate approval. “I am pleased to forward to the Senate the nomination of Dr. Kingsley Tochukwu-Udeh, SAN, for confirmation as Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I trust the Senate will give this request prompt consideration,” the President’s letter read in part. The appointment follows the resignation of former Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Uche Nnaji, who stepped down last month amid controversies surrounding his academic credentials and National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) discharge certificate. Nnaji’s exit had left Enugu State without representation in the Federal Executive Council, a constitutional requirement that mandates at least one minister from each state. Dr. Udeh, a respected legal practitioner recently conferred with the rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), is expected to fill the vacancy and restore Enugu’s representation in the federal cabinet. After reading the President’s letter, Senate President Akpabio referred the nomination to the Committee of the Whole for immediate screening and confirmation.

Immigration Service Denies Seizing Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s Passport

Wale busari02 mins

The Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) has dismissed allegations made by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan that its officers seized her passport and tried to stop her from travelling abroad on Tuesday. The Kogi Central lawmaker had earlier gone live on Facebook, accusing immigration officials at the airport of unlawfully withholding her passport. In the viral video, Natasha appeared frustrated as she questioned why she was being stopped from leaving the country despite no court order restricting her movement. “Have I committed any offence? Why are you withholding my passport?” she asked during the livestream, insisting she had not defaulted on any court appearances and was not a flight risk. Moments later, she received her passport back, saying, “Sometimes you just have to be a rebel to get things right. If I hadn’t gone public, would you have given me my passport?” Reacting to the incident, NIS spokesperson Akinsola Akinlabi denied the Senator’s claims, describing the situation as a routine airport procedure. “The distinguished senator was never stopped from travelling,” Akinlabi said. “She only went through standard immigration checks and was later cleared to travel. Temporarily holding a passport for verification does not amount to seizure.” He added that Senator Natasha had already boarded her flight by the time the video circulated online, clarifying that the officers were simply performing their statutory duties. “She has since travelled. The video was made while the checks were ongoing. The passport was never seized,” Akinlabi said.

Wike Defends Traveling With Sons To UAE, Says No Law Prohibits It

Wale busari02 mins

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has responded to criticisms over bringing his two sons, Jordan and Joaquin, on an official trip to the United Arab Emirates. The Minister attended the 2025 Asia Pacific Cities Summit and Mayor’s Forum in Dubai, where his sons were seen alongside the Nigerian delegation. Some Nigerians criticized the move, accusing Wike of misusing public funds and involving his children in government affairs despite their lack of official roles. Wike defended his decision, insisting he broke no law. “What law says that my sons shouldn’t travel? Did they sign any document? It doesn’t have to be a personal trip. They have to know how Nigeria works,” he said, challenging critics to show proof that the Federal Capital Territory Administration paid for his sons’ travel. He also dismissed claims that he was grooming his children for politics. Wike noted that his eldest son studied law but chose a career in farming, while his second son holds a master’s degree in Economics and is pursuing real estate. “I’m proud of my children. They have given me comfort, not problems. I won’t travel with my enemy’s children,” Wike added, emphasizing his satisfaction with their discipline and conduct.
