Give Us Four Years, We’ll Raise Nigeria’s Power Supply To 10,000MW - Obi This is something we have carefully studied, and we are not going to come into government and start making excuses about why it cannot be done. It is completely unacceptable that a country of over 200 million people generates and distributes only about 4,000 megawatts of electricity while millions of Nigerians still lack access to reliable power. Countries like South Africa and Egypt, despite having significantly smaller populations, each generate and distribute over 40,000 megawatts. Nigeria is not even producing one-tenth of what those countries generate, and that must change. We will also tackle unemployment through honest and transparent policies by supporting micro, small, and medium-sized businesses with tax incentives, financial support, and access to affordable credit so they can grow, create jobs, and drive economic development. Peter Obi, NDC 2027 Presidential Candidate

Igbo Communities in Delta Will Not Vote for a Candidate, But for the APC - Oborevwori The Igbo communities in Delta that did not vote for the APC’s candidate in 2023 did not repeat that voting pattern during my election. We are on the same page. This time I have told them not to vote on an individual basis but to vote for the party. I am confident they will vote for the APC.

Wike: Akpabio Asked Me For 25% Of Rivers Votes For Buhari In 2019 In 2019, Senator Akpabio was Minister of the Niger Delta. He came to Port Harcourt to see me and begged me to allow President Buhari get 25%. I replied, "How would he get 25%? If it was by writing results, then I would write it. The only way he could get 25% is by voting." I didn't see any governor during my time who stood up to federal might the way I did. The moment you're with the people, even if the American Marines show up, you will not succumb. Nyesom Wike, FCT Minister

BREAKING.... 2027 POLLS: OBIDIENT MOVEMENT REBRANDS, SACKS PETER OBI, YUNUSA Ahead of the 2027 general elections, the Nigerian political space came under more tension on Thursday with the immediate disbandment of the #Obidient Movement and expulsion of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, Peter Obi; one his disciples, Yunusa Tanko and all other persons appointed under the unauthorised leadership structure that emerged after the 2023 elections. Those behind the sacking premised the decision on political prostitution and its misuse for personal advantage and private gains. Consequently, the organisation has been rebranded to the #OBEDIENT Movement, to disengage it from Obi and his loyalists. Several calls, SMS and WhatsApp messages to Obi and Yunusa were not replied. Speaking at a press briefing in Abuja to unveil the organisation, the International Coordinator of the #OBEDIENT Movement, Dr Barry Avotu Johnson, clarified that it has not yet adopted any presidential candidate for 2027 and has ceased to have any dealings with Labour Party. According to him, the rebranding was necessary because after the 2023 elections, the original vision and founding ideals of the #Obidient Movement were no longer adequately represented by those who assumed control of its structure.

We need honest, accountable security leaders focused on real protection, not politics or distractions, and a military and police force capable of proper strategy, not misuse of power or trivial arrests. A central control system will be established to track threats in real time and respond swiftly to dismantle criminal networks and secure the country.

Oborevwori Reneged on President Tinubu’s 60-40 APC/PDP Deal in Delta – Omo-Agege There was a directive from President Tinubu that there should be a 60-40 sharing formula between the old APC and the new entrants. While that 60-40 agreement was implemented in other states, Sheriff Oborevwori’s camp disregarded it and came in to wipe out everyone, including people who fought to give President Tinubu over 100,000 votes. The organic support of the people for me has not diminished. I consulted widely and won 84 wards out of 85 in the Delta Central Senatorial primaries with Dafinone.

2027 PRESIDENCY: ROWDY SCENE AS ATIKU RETURNS FORM There was commotion on Thursday at the national secretariat of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Abuja as former President Atiku Abubakar submitted his Expression of Interest and Nomination forms to contest the Presidential election in 2027. Atiku's loyalists and supporters arrived the ADC secretariat earlier and made desperate moves to enter the Hall. They overpowered the fierce-looking bouncers and security personnel and, in the process, destroyed the doors of the room. This paved way for them and they rushed in like a swarm of bees pushing away journalists and other guests. Efforts by journalists to speak with Atiku proved unsuccessful even after laying ambush for him. He was said to have left through the underground basement leaving journalists stranded and disappointed.

Kwankwaso is Working for Tinubu in 2027, Partnership with Obi Temporary - Bature The NNPP is no longer a formidable platform for 2027. There was an agreement among critical stakeholders, including Rabiu Kwankwaso, to find a lasting solution ahead of 2027 because the NNPP cannot fly on its own. With Kwankwaso’s consent, we approached Tinubu and the APC as our Option A to explore joining the party. Kwankwaso insisted on speaking to President Tinubu before any possible defection. However, after a date was set, he cancelled the appointment, saying he was going to China, and never rescheduled. A Peter Obi-Kwankwaso ticket in Kano is strange. Kwankwaso, a PhD holder, deputising Obi, who only holds a first degree, doesn’t look like the Kwankwaso we know. I don’t see this partnership working. Sanusi Bature, Spokesperson to the Kano Governor

BREAKING: OWO CHURCH ATTACK: COURT SENTENCES 4 TO DEATH BY HANGING, ONE DISCHARGED AND ACQUIITED The Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced four men to death by hanging for carrying out the deadly June 5, 2022 attack on Saint Francis Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State where over 40 worshippers were killed. These are four of the five defendants, who have been standing trial on a nine-count terrorism charge filed by the Department of State Services (DSS). They are Idris Abdulmalik Omeiza (25), Al Qasim Idris (20), Jamiu Abdulmalik (26), and Abdulhaleem Idris (25) while the fifth defendant Momoh Otuho Abubakar (47) was discharged and acquitted. In his verdict, Justice Emeka Nwite convicted the four defendants on all nine counts of committing acts of terrorism in breach of the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act citing crimes including membership of a proscribed terrorist group - Al-Shabab (an ISWAP affiliate), conspiracy to commit terrorist act, and kidnapping hostage-taking and for killing the over 40 worshippers. Justice Nwite held that the prosecution had proved its case against the convicts beyond reasonable doubt. The judge however held that the prosecution failed to prove its case against the fifth defendant. The prosecution linked the defendants to the Owo attack through witness identifications, phone tracking data, cell tower records, and confessional statements. The suspects, alleged to be members of the Al-Shabaab a terrorist group affiliated to ISWAP. The group operates mainly in Okene, Kogi State. The defendants pleaded not guilty when arraigned in August 2025. The DSS called 11 witnesses with 23 documents tendered in evidence during its case. These included attack survivors (one of whom testified from a wheelchair after losing both legs and an eye), a Catholic priest who was conducting the Mass, church members, Amotekun security operatives, and DSS investigators with digital forensic expertise. Several witnesses testified under protection with coded identities. A total of 23 documents were tendered in evidence by the DSS during the case. The prosecution, led by counsel Ayodeji Adedipe, had urged the court to convict the defendants and impose the maximum punishment of death by firing squad or hanging, citing the gravity of the offence. The defence presented its case, with most of the defendants taking the witness stand to testify in their defence. A trial-within-a-trial was conducted over the admissibility of the defendants’ confessional statements, which the defence claimed were obtained under duress. They claimed they were stripped them, subjected to beatings and torture including electric shocks to their stomach and genitals to force them to admit guilt to the Owo church attack. The DSS operatives allegedly said 'they must either confess or die.' The four defendants alleged that they were also promised to pay them handsomely if they indicted the fifth defendant, Momoh Otuho Abubakar, as the operational leader of the deadly Owo Church attack. Justice Emeka Nwite presided over the matter, which had previously faced several delays but progressed steadily in 2025 and 2026. The Owo church attack remains one of the most heinous acts of terrorism in recent Nigerian history. No group officially claimed responsibility at the time, though suspicions initially pointed toward Islamic State-affiliated factions.

However, Funke Akindele called me yesterday and said she knows I don't like her, yelling that I should stop mentioning her name in my interviews. I can't come back to cinema if cinema operators can't guarantee I'll make substantial money. Kunle Afolayan, Filmmaker & Creative Industry Entrepreneur
