Wale busari02 mins

Umo Eno met with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Thursday, briefing him on recent developments and the general situation in Akwa Ibom State. The governor formally defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) on June 6, 2025, after three months of consultations with key stakeholders across the state. While acknowledging the support of the PDP during his tenure, Eno described his switch to the APC as a strategic and progressive move aimed at strengthening ties with the Federal Government. He cited his admiration for President Tinubu and the need to back Godswill Akpabio as major reasons for the defection. “After completing consultations as your servant, I have decided to move progressively to the APC,” Eno said. “We are joining the APC in the interest of the state, out of respect for President Tinubu, and to provide necessary support for Senate President Godswill Akpabio. This move is from a position of strength, ensuring that our state aligns effectively with the centre.” He also assured residents that his dedication to serving Akwa Ibom State remains unwavering, regardless of political party affiliation.

Ikorodu Court Orders DNA Tests In UK and US To Settle Mohbad Son Liam’s Paternity Dispute

Wale busari02 mins

The Ikorodu High Court in Lagos State has authorised three laboratories—two in the United Kingdom and one in the United States—to conduct DNA tests to confirm the paternity of Liam, the son of the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba. The child’s paternity has been contested by Joseph Aloba, Mohbad’s father, who has insisted that his son’s remains, following his passing on September 27, 2023, should not be buried until a DNA test resolves the dispute. During the resumed hearing between Joseph Aloba and Wunmi Aloba, the late singer’s lawyer confirmed to reporters that the court selected the three laboratories to ensure impartiality: one chosen by the Aloba family, one by the widow, and a third independent lab appointed by the court. “The case has been adjourned to April 7 for updates on the sample collection. Arrangements will be made with welfare officers to supervise the process, and all parties will be present when samples are taken,” the lawyer explained. He also stated that both the Aloba family and their legal team will have representatives at each laboratory to oversee the delivery of the samples and the testing process.

Opposition Leaders Reject 2026 Electoral Act, Accuse APC Of Manipulating 2027 Election Process

Wale busari02 mins

Leaders of Nigeria’s opposition parties have rejected the recently amended Electoral Act 2026, which was signed into law by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The opposition coalition, including former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and leaders of major parties, criticized both the content of the act and the manner in which it was passed by the National Assembly. At a press briefing, Ajuri Ahmed of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) accused the ruling All Progressives Congress of using the amendment to position President Tinubu as the sole credible presidential contender for 2027. Ahmed highlighted that available technology allows election results to be transmitted from every polling unit and questioned why the act retains provisions for manual collation of votes. He also expressed surprise at the speed with which the President signed the law, noting that other legislation had not received similar expedited treatment. He pointed to the recently concluded Federal Capital Territory (FCT) elections as evidence of the APC’s rush, claiming the results demonstrated flaws in the process. The opposition leaders rejected the outcome of the FCT Area Council polls, describing them as a litmus test that exposed the new Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman’s inability to manage elections effectively.

Senate Calls For Immediate Removal Of CAC Registrar-General Husaini Magaji Over Repeated Absences

Wale busari02 mins

The Senate has formally asked for the dismissal of Husaini Ishaq Magaji, the Registrar-General of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), accusing him of repeatedly ignoring invitations to appear before lawmakers. The issue came to a head during a session of the Senate Committee on Finance attended by members of the President’s economic team. Proceedings reportedly began on a tense note when it was discovered that the CAC boss, who had been invited to brief the committee on the commission’s activities and financial records, was absent once again. Raising the matter, Orji Uzor Kalu expressed anger over what he described as a pattern of avoidance. He moved a motion seeking the immediate removal of the Registrar-General, insisting that the official had consistently failed to respect the committee’s summons. “Since I came to the Senate, he has always given excuses that he is in the Villa.” The Chairman of the Committee on Finance, Sani Musa, also voiced concern over unresolved discrepancies linked to the commission’s revenue reconciliation. He noted that Magaji’s repeated absence had stalled efforts to clarify the outstanding issues. In support of the motion, Adams Oshiomhole proposed tougher measures, including withholding legislative approval of the CAC’s 2026 budget until the concerns are properly addressed. After deliberations, the Senate adopted the motion calling on the President to remove the CAC Registrar-General from office.

Tinubu Denies Forcing Opposition Defections, Says He Did Not Kill Opposition

Wale busari02 mins

Bola Ahmed Tinubu has rejected suggestions that he is engineering the steady movement of opposition politicians into the All Progressives Congress, stating clearly that no one has been coerced into joining the ruling party. The President spoke on Wednesday evening during an interfaith Iftar with senators at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, where he addressed growing claims that his government is weakening opposition structures. According to Tinubu, he has not used the powers of his office to intimidate or pressure any political actor. He stressed that those who defected made their own choices without interference from him. “Critics are entitled to their views. Some say I have killed the opposition, but I didn’t have a gun.” “Even though I have the authority, I have not misused it.” He argued that politicians are free to decide their political future, adding that he would not blame anyone for leaving a platform they believe is no longer viable, likening such moves to passengers stepping away from a troubled ship. Tinubu also used the occasion to call for cooperation across party lines in confronting Nigeria’s security threats, including terrorism and banditry. He urged lawmakers to put national interest above partisan differences. In addition, the President appealed to the National Assembly to begin the process of amending the Constitution to enable the establishment of state police, describing it as a necessary reform to strengthen security and improve response to rising criminal activities nationwide.

Wale busari02 mins

VeryDarkMan has broken his silence after being accused by King Mitchy of failing to properly account for public donations made to support his initiatives. King Mitchy had taken to social media to question how funds contributed by Nigerians were managed, sparking fresh debate about transparency and accountability. Responding in a video, the activist dismissed her claims and expressed confusion over what he described as sudden hostility. “I started receiving subliminal sh0ts and att@cks from King Mitchy out of nowhere, and I honestly can’t figure out. The only time I ever mentioned her was once in 2025. Fast forward to 2026, and this unprovoked attack happens” VeryDarkMan maintained that he has had no recent issues with her and suggested the criticism was not organic. He further alleged that powerful backers may be influencing the attack, claiming that King Mitchy’s sponsors are behind her recent statements. He specifically mentioned Seyi Tinubu as someone he believes is connected to the situation. The online dispute has since divided social media users, with some demanding financial clarity while others view the accusations as a coordinated attempt to discredit the activist. “I started receiving subliminal sh0ts and att@cks from King Mitchy out of nowhere, and I honestly can’t figure out . The only time I ever mentioned her was once in 2025.
