Wale busari02 mins

Former Vice President and PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has commented on his son Abba Abubakar’s decision to join the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing it as a matter of personal choice. In a statement shared on X, Atiku said, “The decision of my son, Abba Abubakar, to join the APC is entirely personal. In a democracy, such choices are neither unusual nor alarming, even when family and politics intersect.” He stressed that he respects individual conscience, adding, “As a democrat, I do not coerce my own children in matters of conscience, and I certainly will not coerce Nigerians.” Atiku also criticized the ruling party, saying, “What truly concerns me is the poor governance of the APC and the severe economic and social hardships it has imposed on our people.” He reaffirmed his commitment to offering Nigerians an alternative, stating, “I remain resolute in working with like-minded patriots to restore good governance and provide Nigerians with a credible option that brings relief, hope, and progress.”

Olubadan Inaugurated As First Chairman Of New Oyo State Council Of Obas And Chiefs

Wale busari03 mins

Governor Seyi Makinde on Thursday inaugurated the new Oyo State Council of Obas and Chiefs in Ibadan, unveiling a rotational chairmanship among three of the state’s leading traditional rulers. The ceremony, held at the House of Chiefs Hall, State Secretariat, Ibadan, saw the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, Arusa I, appointed as the council’s first chairman for a two-year term. Notably absent from the event was the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Akeem Owoade, one of the state’s foremost monarchs. The inauguration follows the passage of the Oyo State Council of Obas and Chiefs (Further Amendments) Bill, 2025, by the State House of Assembly, a law designed to strengthen traditional institutions in the state. Explaining the rotational chairmanship, Governor Makinde said, “I called the monarchs and proposed in the law that the chairmanship of the Council of Obas will rotate every two years. This is our tradition. But when we sit down, if we don’t resolve issues and do what is right and proper for our people, then we have failed. “So, I consulted my three fathers—the Alaafin of Oyo, the Olubadan of Ibadanland, and the Soun of Ogbomosoland—and the agreement is that the rotation will start with Kabiyesi, the Olubadan of Ibadan. On that basis, I hereby pronounce the Oyo State Council of Obas and Chiefs inaugurated.” Under the amended law, the council’s chairmanship will rotate every two years among the Alaafin of Oyo, the Olubadan of Ibadanland, and the Soun of Ogbomosoland. Oba Ladoja, a former Oyo State governor, became the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland in September 2025 following the death of Oba Owolabi Olakulehin.

Wale busari02 mins

Nigerian music superstar Davido has reacted angrily to a viral claim from a teenage girl alleging to be his daughter, who publicly requested a DNA test. Responding to a tweet from an influencer that read, “A daughter asking the father for a DNA test will really break and touch the father’s heart,” Davido wrote: “After 5 DNA tests … she Dey crase … her and her mom better leave me the fuck alone and go find her papa.” When a user asked if he knew the girl’s mother, the singer responded: “Never met the bitch … except when we went for the DNA … very stupid behavior. I will soon treat their FK … 5 fucking hospitals just to be clear … the mom needs to go to jail … I don’t blame the poor girl.” Davido later defended himself further, stating: “Yes, I chose 3 hospitals and they chose their own two hospitals … all came out negative. This is the last time I’m speaking on this nonsense.” The controversy arose after Anu Adeleke, the teenager claiming to be his daughter, requested a DNA test to confirm her parentage. Reports indicate that five separate tests have already been conducted, all reportedly negative, though her mother has disputed the results. The singer’s tweets have sparked heated debate online, with fans divided between supporting Davido’s strong response and criticizing his language and approach to the sensitive matter.

The directive was announced on Thursday during the Armed Forces Remembrance ceremony at Government House, Port Harcourt, held to mark the 2026 Armed Forces Remembrance Day. Fubara said the move reflects the state government’s commitment to the Armed Forces, other security agencies, and the families of personnel who lost their lives in active service. He instructed the Secretary to the State Government, Dr Benibo Anabraba, to ensure the directive is implemented without delay. “I want to emphasise that the Secretary to the State Government has been given marching orders to ensure the promised employment for the children of our veterans is immediately attended to. This is part of our socio-economic support for their families,” he said. The governor noted that Rivers State would continue to partner with military formations by providing logistical and welfare support to enhance their operational capacity. He paid tribute to troops deployed nationwide, particularly those fighting Boko Haram in the North-East, as well as personnel confronting banditry and kidnapping in the North-West and North-Central regions. He also acknowledged ongoing military operations in the South-East and South-South against pipeline vandalism, crude oil theft, and other security threats on land and at sea. Fubara honoured soldiers who died during the First and Second World Wars, the Nigerian Civil War, international peacekeeping missions, and recent counter-insurgency operations. He also commended President Bola Tinubu for strengthening the military through improved welfare, modern equipment, and initiatives aimed at addressing internal security challenges. Earlier, the Chairman of the Nigerian Legion, Rivers State chapter, Kuu Aminkipo Promise, praised the state government’s support, highlighting Governor Fubara’s ₦100 million donation to the 2026 Emblem Appeal Fund as reassurance to veterans, widows, and dependents of fallen heroes.
