Lagos deputy gov urges strong support in Lagos LG polls.

Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, has urged all party members to come out in large numbers to canvass votes for All Progressives Congress party candidates in the upcoming elections.

He underscored the need to sustain the tremendous progress recorded across the state.

Hamzat made the call during the All Progressives Party Congress Campaign Mega Rally for the Lagos West II Senatorial District, held on Monday at Ijanikin, Lagos.

The deputy governor highlighted the importance of every supporter’s vote in securing victory at the polls.

He noted that the exceptional developments witnessed in Lagos were made possible because the people voted for the current administration.

He cited the completion of major infrastructure projects, including Nigeria’s only intra-state railway, one of the few of its kind in Africa.

Hamzat urged the party faithful not to disappoint their leader and President, Bola Tinubu.

African Queen’ was a collaboration, not stolen 2Baba.

Renowned Nigerian music icon, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has spoken out on the long-standing controversy surrounding the authorship of his hit song, African Queen.

In an interview on the 234 Mzansi Podcast, posted on Monday via YouTube, 2Baba clarified that the song, which catapulted him to global fame and played a pivotal role in putting Nigerian music on the world map, was a collaborative effort between him and former bandmate, Blackface.

“It’s a collab. I wrote most of the song actually, but we wrote it together,” he said.

The legendary singer, however, expressed disappointment over the ongoing accusations by Blackface, who has repeatedly claimed sole ownership of the song.

“For me, the law and the legal things speak for themselves. So I’m not somebody to come and start… I don’t know what his intentions are. I don’t know what I’ve ever done to him,” 2Baba stated.

"BEWARE OF MILITARY TAKEOVER"- BODE GEORGE WARNS TINUBU.

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, has warned President Bola Tinubu against actions that could trigger a military takeover in Nigeria.


George gave the warning while speaking to journalists on Monday after being blocked by police officers from entering the PDP National Secretariat in Abuja.

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that security lockdown disrupted the party’s scheduled National Executive Committee (NEC) and Board of Trustees (BoT) meetings.

“It’s strikingly annoying. This is our property. Was there any court order to say we will not hold our meeting in our office? What is going on? I was a young man in 1962 when it all started in the South West. We must avoid that madness. What is it? Can’t we sit and talk? What is the essence of democracy?” George said.

The PDP leader referenced the 1962 Western Region crisis, where internal party conflicts led to the declaration of a state of emergency and a federal government takeover of the Western Region—an event that marked the beginning of political instability in the country.

“Nigerians are watching, you came to our office, surrounded by police because we want to have a meeting? You want to turn us to North Korea or turn this country to Russia? We will not allow it, Nigerians will not allow it,” he added.

Monday morning saw a heavy police presence at the PDP headquarters in Wadata Plaza, Abuja. Officers barricaded the entrance and prevented party leaders, staff, and BoT members from accessing the NEC hall.

The PDP later relocated its BoT meeting to an alternative venue.

They Abandoned Motorcycle And Fled Leaving Black Bag Containing Pistols, UTC Knife And Charms-CSP.

According to a report by Sahara Reporters on Monday, 30 June 2025, the Oyo State Police Command has arrested suspected armed robbers and recovered dangerous weapons in Ibadan, following a swift operation carried out during an early morning patrol.

According to a police report issued by the Divisional Police Officer of Yemetu Division, CSP Fayiwole Julius Oluwadare, the arrests were made during a patrol led by ASP Atilola Wasiu on June 27, 2025, at about 6:00 a.m. The patrol team observed three men on a motorcycle behaving suspiciously along the Yemetu area.

Upon noticing the officers, the suspects later identified as Hammed Saheed and two others abandoned their motorcycle and fled, leaving behind a black bag. A thorough search of the bag revealed two cut-to-size locally made pistols, two live cartridges, a UTC Knife and several criminal charms believed to be used for protection during illicit operations.

One of the suspects, 32-year-old Ganiu Fadipe, was apprehended after a hot pursuit. During interrogation, Fadipe reportedly provided valuable information that led to the arrest of other members of the gang. The police believe the suspects are linked to a robbery syndicate responsible for several criminal activities in the city.

The command assured the public that efforts are ongoing to apprehend the remaining suspects still at large and investigations have been intensified to uncover the full extent of the gang’s operations.

CSP Oluwadare commended the vigilance and professionalism of the officers involved, reiterating the command’s commitment to ridding Oyo State of violent criminals. Residents were also urged to remain security conscious and promptly report suspicious activities.

BREAKING: LASU CHANGES ADMISSION AGGREGATE GRADING SYSTEM FOR 2025/2026.

Lagos State University (LASU) has introduced a new grading formula for calculating aggregate scores for admission, as confirmed in the ongoing 2025/2026 admission screening registration.

This change affects how both JAMB and O'Level results are calculated, and all applicants are advised to take note and adjust their expectations accordingly.

NEW LASU AGGREGATE FORMULA:

JAMB Score Calculation:
Multiply your JAMB score by 0.15

O’LEVEL Calculation (Best 5 relevant subjects):

A1 = 8 points
B2 = 7 points
B3 = 6 points
C4 = 5 points
C5 = 4 points
C6 = 3 points

Add both your JAMB and O’Level points together to get your total aggregate score.

Example Calculation:

JAMB Score = 280 → 280 × 0.15 = 42

O’Level Grades: A1, B2, B3, C4, C5 = 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 = 30

Total Aggregate = 42 + 30 = 72%

These changes were confirmed through LASU’s updated screening system. All candidates should now use this format to avoid wrong assumptions about their admission chances.

FCT Teachers’ Strike: FG seeks dialogue as action enters 100th day.

As the indefinite strike by primary school teachers in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) enters its 100th day, the Federal Government has appealed for dialogue, unity and swift resolution of the crisis.

In a statement issued by the Director, Press and Public Relations of the Ministry, Boriowo Folasade, on Monday, the ministry said it deeply values the unwavering commitment of Nigerian teachers, who remain the backbone of the nation’s foundational education system.

The Guardian reports that the long-running industrial action, which commenced on March 24, 2025, has paralysed learning across over 400 public primary schools in the six Area councils of the FCT, leaving thousands of pupils stuck at home or left unattended in dilapidated classrooms.

The ongoing strike was sparked by the failure of the six area councils to implement the N70,000 minimum wage agreement signed in a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding on December 11, 2024.

According to Boriowo, the Federal Ministry of Education has reviewed with concern the communiqué issued by the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), FCT Wing, following its Emergency State Wing Standing Committee (SWSC) meeting held on March 22, 2025, in Gwagwalada, Abuja.
