“President Buhari was a man of principle,” Moghalu said. “He strove to shape our nation’s destiny with sincerity of purpose and resolute leadership.”

He prayed that Almighty Allah grants Buhari eternal rest and admits him into Aljannah Firdaus. He also urged Nigerians to draw strength from Buhari’s legacy and to support the late president’s family during this difficult time.

The Awujale of Ijebuland has passed away. President Ahmed Tinubu, himself a Yoruba son, did not attend the funeral. He traveled to Katsina instead.

Many expected him to visit Ogun State after President Buhari’s burial. Instead, he went to Kano to console the Dantata family and even sent ministers to Saudi Arabia for their patriarch’s burial.

This contrast is seen by many as a sign of disregard for the Yoruba. People in Ogun State now ask: when will Tinubu finally mourn the Awujale? Is the monarch less important to the President?

When Will Tinubu Mourn The Ajuwale?.

Why Is President Tinubu Yet to Mourn the Late Awujale of Ijebuland?

Prominent Ekiti leaders, including former Governors Fayose, Adebayo, Fayemi and Oni, joined Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele to pledge solid support for Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s 2026 re-election bid. They made the commitment at an Abuja event held in honour of the newly appointed NPA Chairman, Senator Dayo Adeyeye.

Former Governor Fayose praised Oyebanji’s achievements in infrastructure, education, agriculture and workers’ welfare. He described the governor as a bridge-builder who has restored unity to Ekiti’s political landscape and urged all stakeholders, regardless of party, to back his second-term ambition.

Senator Bamidele highlighted Oyebanji’s transparency and accountability in delivering projects across the state. Both he and other speakers commended Adeyeye’s appointment, citing his experience and integrity as assets that will boost the Nigerian Ports Authority.

In his response, Governor Oyebanji thanked the Ekiti leaders for their unity and trust. Senator Adeyeye also assured the governor of his full support and pledged to work tirelessly for victory across all local governments in the 2026 election.

Under the leadership of Executive Chairman Rt. Hon. Engr. George Henshaw, Okobo Local Government has commissioned three solar-powered boreholes. These projects directly support UN SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy).

The Nigerian Constitution empowers local councils to provide and maintain water supply. Residents of 50 Units Low-Cost Housing Estate, Using Enian and Ebighi Anwa Oro no longer trek to polluted streams. They now enjoy reliable, safe water closer to home.

Beyond water infrastructure, the administration is building a Computer-Based Center in Nung Atai to boost digital literacy. Plans are underway to clear land for a mini stadium and to develop the modern Atak-Oro Market at Utime Ukuko.

A Skills Acquisition Development program at DakKada Skills Acquisition Center (DASAC) will train youths in vocational trades. These initiatives reflect Okobo LGA’s commitment to sustainable development and improved quality of life.

On Tuesday, Israeli forces bulldozed 15 houses in al-Hamidiyah, northern Quneitra. Authorities said the homes lay too close to a newly established military position.

Local sources told North Press the dwellings were still occupied and that residents received no prior warning before the demolitions. The army described the action as essential to widen its security perimeter.

In a parallel operation, troops raided homes in nearby Trunjeh. They conducted intensive searches and arrested a young man for reasons that remain unclear. Since the fall of the former regime, tensions near the Quneitra ceasefire line have risen amid near-daily incursions and detentions.

A resurfaced clip shows FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, then Governor of Rivers State, fiercely denouncing the Buhari-led APC government and mocking Bola Tinubu’s promise to “continue the good work” of his predecessor. He lambasted the administration over hunger, insecurity, poverty and the falling naira.

Now serving under President Tinubu, Wike faces accusations of political double-dealing. Critics say he abandoned his earlier convictions for power. Supporters argue his shift reflects pragmatic politics in a changing landscape.

The video has reignited debate on loyalty and principle in Nigerian politics, highlighting how past statements can come back to shape present reputations.

The Geeks and Founders Alliance for Soludo (GEFAS) has unveiled a state-of-the-art Tech Space in Awka. The one-storey facility offers modern ICT infrastructure, including a 21-person call centre, interview studio, and collaborative workstations. It will act as the nerve centre for digital engagement and grassroots mobilization ahead of the November 8, 2025 governorship election.

Governor Charles Soludo, represented by SSG Professor Solo Chukwulobelu, commended GEFAS for embracing digital innovation in political outreach. He urged members to remain resilient and to showcase the administration’s achievements across the state economy.

Special Adviser Dr. Alex Obiogbolu called the hub a key step in building a “digital tribe” through initiatives like the Solution Innovation District, which has trained over 20,000 residents in digital skills and coding. GEFAS Convener Mr. Chukwuemeka Fred Agbata added that the space reflects a shared commitment to a technologically driven and prosperous Anambra State.

Governor Okpebholo spoke to party supporters in Benin on July 7. He warned former Anambra governor Peter Obi that his security in Edo State would not be guaranteed if he visited without prior notice.

Okpebholo noted Obi’s ₦15 million donation to St. Philomena Hospital School of Nursing Sciences. He questioned how someone “wey say e no get shishi” could make such a gift.

The governor also referenced the unrest that followed Obi’s last trip, when three people lost their lives. He urged Obi to clear any future visits with him.

These remarks came as Okpebholo received ex-Assembly Speaker and federal lawmaker Marcus Onobun into the APC. Onobun remains the last opposition federal representative in Edo State.

The governor’s warning that a visitor’s safety “will never be guaranteed” breaches every Nigerian’s right to free movement and security (Section 41, 1999 Constitution).

Such a statement misuses gubernatorial authority. A governor must protect all citizens and guests, not weaponize security agencies for political ends.

Threatening violence undermines democracy and breaks the law. Incitement is a criminal offence, and leaders should never intimidate opponents.

The governor should ensure safety for everyone. Obi has grounds to challenge this abuse of power in court.

Former Chief of Staff Ibrahim Gambari told Channels TV how aides bypassed official channels to send memos directly to late President Buhari. Despite Buhari’s public directive that all memos go through the chief of staff, members of his inner circle found backdoor routes during informal meetings.

Gambari noted that he still saw many of these memos on his desk, including those from Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and several ministers. Yet the so-called cabal used the president’s weak moments to slip documents straight to him.

He explained that every presidency has its version of a “cabal” or “kitchen cabinet,” citing former President Obasanjo’s Aboyade group as an example of an informal think tank that advises the president freely.

President Buhari died in London and was buried in Daura, Katsina State, on Tuesday.

Top of the hour to you wherever you are reading this. I will explore the politics of 2027 and each aspirant’s strengths. Keep an open mind and focus on logic, not emotion.

First, Atiku Abubakar. Atiku has the resources and reach to unite the coalition. This may be his last chance at the presidency. But running a Fulani again could cost votes. His age also worries many Nigerians.

Next, Peter Obi. He commands the southeast and youth support. Social media influencers back his cause. Yet he lacks national appeal. Some view him as sectional and intolerant.

Together, Atiku and Obi could offset each other’s weaknesses. But tensions may arise over ticket spots and northern ambitions. Can the coalition defeat President Tinubu in 2027? I leave that question to you. Share your views below.

Since October 2023, Israel has carried out targeted operations against senior leaders in Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran’s IRGC Quds Force. These precision strikes have reshaped the regional balance and intensified the conflict.

Key Hamas figures confirmed killed include Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif, Marwan Issa, Saleh al-Arouri and Ismail Haniyeh. Operations ranged from Gaza air raids to drone attacks in Beirut and Tehran.

Hezbollah also lost major commanders, notably Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, Ali Karaki, Nabil Kaouk and the group’s drone and rocket experts. Coordinated strikes in Beirut disrupted Hezbollah’s command infrastructure.

In Syria, Israel targeted Quds Force generals Mohammad Reza Zahedi and Razi Mousavi at Iranian sites. While some reports remain unverified, the campaign underscores Israel’s shadow war beyond its borders.

The Peoples Democratic Party has confirmed plans to bring former Anambra Governor and 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi back into its ranks. Deputy National Publicity Secretary Ibrahim Abdullahi described Obi as a key political asset whose six million votes last election reflect his influence among young and urban voters.

Speaking on Arise Television, Abdullahi highlighted obstacles Obi faced, including alleged rigging and institutional hurdles. He argued Obi’s performance demonstrated his value, saying, “Peter Obi is our product. Any party would gain from his return.”

Obi left the PDP before its primaries and finished third in 2023, behind Atiku Abubakar and Bola Tinubu. The PDP now hopes his return will unify opposition voices ahead of the 2027 elections and strengthen its challenge to the ruling APC.

The Labour Party has alerted Nigerians to a group claiming to be BOT, NEC, and NWC members. Senators Nenade Usman and Darlington are among those accused of impersonating party officials.

These individuals allegedly plan to hold fake primary elections ahead of upcoming INEC by-elections. National Chairman Barrister Julius Abure and National Secretary Alhaji Umar Farok have denounced the plot and confirmed their inauthentic status.

Nigerians are urged to ignore any announcements or publications from these impostors on social media or TV. The party has called on law enforcement to arrest and prosecute them.

The authentic leadership remains:
- National Chairman: Barrister Julius Abure
- National Secretary: Alhaji Umar Farok

The Labour Party asks everyone to support its legitimate leaders and help secure its future in the 2027 general elections.

The Coalition for Transparency (CT) has called on Engr. Farouk Ahmed, CEO of NMDPRA, to explain how he funded over $5.5 million in elite Swiss and US school fees for his four children. The group argues this sum far exceeds a civil servant’s lawful earnings.

At a Friday press conference, CT convener Obinna Francis detailed costs at Montreux, Aiglon College, Le Rosey and Harvard. He says secondary schooling alone ran between $4.3 million and $4.8 million over six years.

CT has petitioned the AGF, CCB, ICPC and EFCC to probe Ahmed’s assets. They demand full disclosure or immediate resignation, calling this a test of President Tinubu’s anti-corruption drive.

“The children of Nigeria suffer while public funds bankroll private royalty,” Francis said. The coalition vows to press on until Ahmed is held accountable.

Burkina Faso’s military rulers have scrapped the national electoral commission, calling it a waste of money.

The interior ministry will now oversee elections, state-run RTB TV reported. The move comes after the September 2022 coup and a series of sweeping reforms.

The junta postponed nationwide elections until July 2029. This extension allows leader Capt. Ibrahim Traoré to remain in power and contest the next presidential poll.

Critics warn the change may curb political freedoms and invite foreign influence. Rights groups also link the military’s grip on power to a surge in jihadist attacks and a tightening of dissent.

The recent Plateau killings stain our national conscience. Innocent men, women and children die while attackers face no real resistance.

We cannot accept security agents who claim not to hear gunshots. Communities need embedded operatives with arms and ammunition ready to defend us until military backup arrives.

Establishing state police forces made up of local officers is vital. They must carry automatic weapons to match AK-47s and machine guns. Fighting terror with Dane guns is naive and dangerous.

This is outright terrorism. The APC government must act now to protect lives, crops and homes. We cannot allow deliberate displacement and barbaric violence to continue.

Prince Festus Oyom argues that Nigeria’s 2027 election will hinge on a new opposition coalition led by Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar, and the African Democratic Congress (ADC). They plan to unite under one platform to challenge the All Progressives Congress (APC). Their shared goal is to end APC’s dominance and reset governance.

This coalition leverages Obi’s youth appeal, Atiku’s Northern networks, and ADC’s neutral platform. They aim to consolidate regional strengths and avoid the fragmentation that cost them in 2023. However, personal ambitions and zoning disputes threaten unity.

Key challenges include a clash for the presidential ticket, regional power-rotation tensions, and public skepticism about elite politics. The APC’s incumbency advantages and state resources could also be used to fracture the alliance.

To win in 2027, the coalition needs transparent primaries, strong youth and grassroots engagement, and a clear policy agenda on the economy, security, and true federalism. Effective branding and resource mobilization will be critical. Unity and a people-centered approach will determine their success or failure.

Edo State Governor Senator Monday Okpebholo has warned that Labour Party’s Peter Obi must obtain security clearance before any future visit to Edo. He made the statement after Obi donated ₦15 million to the St. Philomena Hospital School of Nursing Sciences during his July 7 trip to Benin.

Okpebholo linked Obi’s visit to a recent surge in violence and questioned the source of the donation. He issued the demand while receiving the last opposition federal lawmaker, Marcus Onobun, into the All Progressives Congress.

The governor declared Onobun’s defection as the final nail in the coffin of the PDP in Edo State. He praised the APC’s achievements, predicted 2.5 million votes for President Tinubu in 2027, and accused key opposition figures of corruption and mismanagement.

Acting Deputy State Chairman Sylvester Aigboboh said the defection boosts the APC ahead of a senatorial rerun. Onobun described his move as both ideological and strategic, citing the arrival of an Esan governor and improved governance in Edo.

The proverb de mortuis nil nisi bonum urges us to speak only good of the dead. But public figures like Muhammadu Buhari deserve scrutiny even after they pass. His military decrees and civilian laws crushed dissent and punished critics.

When we speak ill of the dead, we confront those who still claim his legacy. We remind enablers and successors that no monument or slogan can erase a history of repression. Honest critique is for the living and for our future.

Buhari’s broken promises—from banning medical tourism while billing the nation for his own care to overseeing hospitals without power—reveal deep hypocrisy. His tenure saw rising maternal deaths, collapsed public services, economic recessions, repeated fuel subsidy reversals, and scandals even his wife called corruption.

Holding Buhari’s legacy up for judgment is a moral duty. It reasserts the values he eroded and warns future leaders that real leadership is shown by service, transparency, and respect for citizens—not by statues or empty slogans.

At its NEC meeting in Abuja on Friday, the Labour Party elected Senator Usman Nenadi as Interim National Chairman and Senator Darlington Nwokocha as Interim National Secretary.

The interim working committee will oversee party activities until the national convention. NEC also approved schedules for ward, local government, state, zonal congresses and the convention. The National Secretariat will publish guidelines and timelines for transparent, democratic polls.

Attendees included NLC President Joe Ajaero, Abia State Governor Alex Otti and other party leaders. Ajaero called LP “a party for the common man” and urged members not to be discouraged by current challenges.

Governor Otti noted that the NEC meeting followed a Supreme Court ruling affirming Nenadi’s leadership. He asked rival factions to respect the judgment and called for unity, rebranding and restructuring to strengthen the party.

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos chapter has criticised the renaming of 24 streets in Ajeromi Ifelodun Local Government Area.

Most Igbo-sounding names were replaced with Yoruba names. Imo Eze Street is now Layiwola Oluwa Street. Ezie Street became Morilat Arogundade, and Eze Street is now Erelu Mojisola Street.

English names also changed. George Street is now Daddy Showkey Street. Queens Street became Kola Balogun Street. Kirikiri Road is Moruf Oyekunle Road, and Uzoh Street is now Kalejaiye Adeboye Street.

President Solomon Ogbonna says the changes reek of inferiority complex. He argues this is not an ethnic fight but a sign of insecurity. He also controversially urged authorities to end Yoruba–Igbo intermarriages.
