Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has criticised President Bola Tinubu for nominating former INEC Chairman Prof. Mahmood Yakubu as a non-career ambassador, calling the move inappropriate and damaging to public trust. Atiku, who lost the 2023 presidential election supervised by Yakubu, described the nomination as “morally indefensible” and suggestive of a political reward for overseeing one of Nigeria’s most disputed elections.

Tinubu recently submitted 32 additional ambassadorial nominees to the Senate, including Yakubu and other notable political figures.

Adamawa Government Issues 21-Day Demolition Notice on Properties Linked to Ex-Governor Bindo Supporters, Triggers Public Outrage

A major controversy has erupted in Yola after the Adamawa State Government issued a 21-day demolition notice to owners of multi-billion-naira commercial properties allegedly linked to supporters of former Governor Umar Jibrilla Bindo. The notice, released by the Adamawa State Urban and Regional Development Board (ASURB) on November 1, 2025, orders occupants to vacate the buildings without offering compensation or alternative arrangements.

The targeted structures—located along Atiku Abubakar Way, Gimba Road, Forestry axis, and Hospital Road—were originally allocated during Bindo’s administration. Affected shop owners and developers accuse the Fintiri-led government of political persecution, intimidation, and economic sabotage. Many expressed shock, noting that they invested life savings and bank loans into the properties. Traders warn that demolitions would destroy livelihoods and displace employees, fueling tension and accusations of a broader political witch-hunt.

Only ADC Can Rescue Nigeria From Current Hardships — Atiku Declares After Defection

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has declared that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is the only political party capable of rescuing Nigeria from its deepening economic and security challenges.

Atiku made the claim on Monday following his official defection to the ADC, coming just 17 months ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The police have finally opened up on the report of withdrawing personnel attached to ex-VP Atiku Abubakar, FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and former First Lady Aisha Buhari. Details in the comment.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC), confirming his move in a post on X with photos of his membership card. Atiku resigned from the PDP in July, citing irreconcilable differences and saying the party had deviated from its core principles. Although he helped adopt the ADC as the opposition coalition platform for the 2027 elections, he and other key figures delayed their formal registration. The coalition says its goal is to “rescue and rebuild Nigeria,” accusing the APC-led government of undermining democratic institutions.

Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC) after collecting his membership card in Kaduna. He said the ADC offers Nigerians a credible alternative to the ruling APC, which he criticised for incompetence. El-Rufai urged youths to register with the party ahead of the 2027 elections. His move comes just three days after former Vice President Atiku Abubakar also joined the ADC. The party, now led by interim chairman David Mark and secretary Rauf Aregbesola, is positioning itself as the main coalition to challenge the APC in 2027.

Joy is coming: FG Cash Transfers Reach 5.5 Million Nigerian Households

At least 5.5 million Nigerian households are currently receiving cash transfers from the Federal Government, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Dr. Bernard Doro, has revealed.

Speaking at the inaugural National Steering Committee meeting of the Act Naija project in Abuja on Tuesday, Dr. Doro, represented by his aide Abimbola Fasanu, said the ministry is focused on strengthening social protection systems to tackle poverty, vulnerability, and humanitarian challenges across the country.

“Key programmes include Conditional Cash Transfer, the Grant for Vulnerable Groups, N-POWER, GEEP, Homegrown School Feeding, and National Social Safety-Net Coordination,” he said. “Over 19.78 million households have been verified in the National Social Register, while 5.5 million households currently benefit from cash transfers.

Micro-credit schemes are also supporting livelihoods for over 5 million Nigerians, with strong participation from women and youth in all 774 local government areas.” Dr. Doro added that the ministry is working with stakeholders to review and update the National Social Protection Policy (NSPP), ensuring it reflects evolving socio-economic realities and aligns with government priorities.

On the Act Naija Project, he said the committee is critical to guiding efforts across stakeholders, promoting transparency, and delivering measurable impact for vulnerable households. He called on members to serve with professionalism, dedication, and integrity.

Rev. David Ugolor, Executive Director of the Africa Network for Environment and Economic Justice (ANEEJ), described the committee’s inauguration as a significant step toward strengthening Nigeria’s social protection system and ensuring that no citizen is left behind.

ADC Breaks Silence on Headquarters Controversy — “Atiku Was Only a Tenant”

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has officially clarified the ownership status of its newly commissioned national headquarters in Abuja, following public speculation tying the building to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

According to Symfoni TV (Monday, November 17, 2025), ADC National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi confirmed that Atiku once occupied the property—but strictly as a tenant during his presidential campaign.

Abdullahi emphasized that Atiku never owned the building, and that his lease had since expired, clearing the way for the ADC to take over legally.

He stated:

“It’s true, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar used to be the tenant of this building for his presidential campaign. When his tenancy lapsed, the African Democratic Congress became the new tenant. At no time did this building belong to Atiku Abubakar.”

The party further stressed that their move into the building is purely a commercial tenancy and should not be interpreted as a new political alignment or merger beyond the existing coalition framework.

Abdullahi added:

“He leased it for the purpose of his campaign, that lease has ceased, and now the tenancy is occupied by the African Democratic Congress.”

The clarification was made to dispel rumors suggesting the ADC’s new headquarters signified deeper political ties or strategic deals with Atiku.
