BREAKING: Kano Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf Resigns From NNPP

Wale busari02 mins

Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has officially resigned from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), citing persistent internal conflicts and leadership disputes within the party. The announcement was made on Friday by his spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa. Yusuf submitted a resignation letter to the Chairman of the NNPP in Diso-Chiranchi Ward, Gwale Local Government Area, effective January 25, 2026. In the letter, the governor expressed gratitude to the party for providing him a political platform and for the support of its leadership and members across Kano State since 2022. However, Yusuf said unresolved leadership disagreements and ongoing legal battles within the party made it increasingly difficult to maintain cohesion. “In recent times, the party has faced persistent internal challenges arising from leadership disagreements and ongoing legal processes, many of which are presently before the courts,” he noted. He added that the disputes have caused growing disenfranchisement among members, deep divisions within the party structure, and uncertainty at both the state and national levels. “After careful reflection, and without prejudice to the party’s ability to resolve its challenges, I have concluded that my resignation is in the best interest of the people of Kano State,” Yusuf said, emphasizing that his decision was made in good faith and without bitterness. He reaffirmed his commitment to peace, unity, and the continued development of Kano State despite leaving the NNPP.

House Minority Committee Confirms Illegal Alterations In Tax Laws

Wale busari04 mins

The House of Representatives Minority Caucus Ad-hoc Committee has confirmed that some recently passed tax reform laws were illegally altered, with the Nigeria Tax Administration Act, 2025, identified as the most affected. The committee’s interim report, released on Friday, compared the versions of the tax laws passed by the National Assembly with those published in the official gazette, confirming discrepancies raised by House member Abdulsamad Dasuki over altered documents circulating publicly. The Minority Caucus had previously warned on December 28, 2025, that any attempt to impose fake laws on Nigerians would violate the constitutional role of the National Assembly and pledged to defend legislative independence. To investigate, the caucus, led by Kingsley Chinda, set up a seven-member fact-finding committee on January 2, 2026, chaired by Victor Ogene. The team includes Aliyu Garu (Bauchi), Stanley Adedeji (Oyo), Ibe Osonwa (Abia), Marie Ebikake (Bayelsa), Shehu Fagge (Kano), and Gaza Gbefwi Jonathan (Nasarawa). On January 3, 2026, the House, through spokesman Akin Rotimi, announced that Speaker Tajudeen Abbas had ordered the release of four tax reform Acts signed by President Bola Tinubu for public verification. These are: Nigeria Tax Act, 2025; Nigeria Tax Administration Act, 2025; National Revenue Service (Establishment) Act, 2025; and Joint Revenue Board (Establishment) Act, 2025. According to the committee’s preliminary findings, comparisons between the certified copies and the gazetted versions revealed multiple alterations. “There were some alterations as alleged, especially in the Nigeria Tax Administration Act, 2025. There were three different versions of the documents in circulation, particularly the Nigeria Tax Administration Act, 2025,” the report said. The report highlighted several irregularities: Section 29(1) on reporting thresholds lowered individual thresholds from N50m to N25m, contrary to the approved law. New subsections 41(8) and 41(9) imposed a mandatory 20% deposit for tax disputes to be heard in the High Court, which were not in the authentic law. Section 64 expanded enforcement powers for tax authorities, including arrests and asset seizures without court approval. Section 3(1)(b) excluded petroleum income tax and VAT from federal taxes. Section 39(3) mandated tax computation for petroleum operations in US dollars, replacing the original provision to use the currency of the transaction. The committee also flagged changes to the Nigerian Revenue Service (Establishment) Act, noting the removal of Sections 30(1)(d) and 30(3), which had provided for National Assembly oversight through reports, summons, and accountability mechanisms. Describing the alterations as “anomalies, illegalities, and impunity” that undermine constitutional powers, the committee called for a deeper investigation and requested an extension to continue its work. The committee expressed gratitude to the caucus leadership for entrusting them with the assignment.

Nigeria’s Power Grid Collapses Again, First Major Blackout Of 2026

Wale busari01 mins

Nigeria’s national electricity grid has collapsed again, throwing many parts of the country into darkness and cutting off power supply to millions of households and businesses. Checks revealed that electricity generation plunged dramatically from more than 4,500 megawatts to just about 24 megawatts as of 1:30 pm. All 23 power generation plants connected to the grid reportedly shut down during the incident, resulting in zero electricity allocation to the 11 distribution companies nationwide. As of the time of reporting, the cause of the collapse had not been confirmed, and the Transmission Company of Nigeria was yet to issue an official statement explaining the incident. The outage is the first recorded grid collapse in 2026 and comes only weeks after a similar nationwide blackout on December 29, 2025, which also disrupted electricity supply across the country.

Ajuwale Stool: Protest Rocks Ijebu Ode Over Alleged Imposition

Wale busari02 mins

Indigenes and residents of Ijebu Ode held a protest on Friday morning, marching from the Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona Archway to the Ijebu Ode Local Government Headquarters to oppose what they described as attempts by “powerful interests” to influence the selection of the next Awujale. The demonstration followed a circular issued by the Ogun State Government on January 20, 2026, which barred the kingmakers from advancing the selection of a candidate from the 95 nominees submitted by the Fusengbuwa Ruling House. Leaders of the ruling house include Otunba Lateef Owoyemi (Olori Ebi), Prince Adedokun Ajidagba (Deputy Olori Ebi), and Professor Fassy Yusuf (Vice Chairman). The circular, issued by the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Ganiyu Hamzat, has fueled allegations that Governor Dapo Abiodun’s administration is attempting to interfere in the traditional selection process to favor a preferred candidate. Mrs. Adenugba Obileye, who led the peaceful protest, said the march was meant to express the community’s disapproval of what she called “plots to interfere with the work of the kingmakers” and to ensure that the Awujale is selected through proper traditional procedures. “We are here to register our displeasure and demand that the kingmakers be allowed to perform their constitutional duty without interference. The people of Ijebu will not accept any attempt to impose a candidate outside the traditional process,” Mrs. Obileye said.
