This are the real enemies of Nigeria.

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.

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.

Reno Omokri Attacks Peter Obi, Labels Him a “Land Grabber” Amid Ongoing Political Tensions

Controversial political commentator and former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has once again taken aim at Labour Party leader Peter Obi, calling him a "land grabber" and accusing him of launching a "criminal scheme"—an allegation many critics have dismissed as politically motivated.

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Omokri lashed out at Obi following his criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s recent state visit to Saint Lucia. Obi had questioned the timing and necessity of the trip, suggesting it was more of a vacation than a productive mission. In response, Omokri wrote:

"Land Grabber, Peter Obi, Should Focus On His New Criminal Scheme And Stop Speaking Grammar About The President's Trips. By his latest critique of the President, Peter Obi has again revealed that he is a trader, not a leader."

Omokri’s attack appears to be rooted in a recent land ownership controversy involving a disputed parcel in Ikeja, Lagos. Some reports suggest Peter Obi and his brother were linked to the land, though official documents reportedly did not list them as legal owners. However, no credible evidence has yet tied Obi directly to any illegal land acquisition.

Critics have accused Reno Omokri of being a political tool used to distract from real national issues, often launching smear campaigns against opposition figures. His frequent, highly personal attacks on Obi and the Obidient movement have raised questions about his objectivity and motivations.

While Omokri framed Tinubu’s trip as a strategic state visit aimed at boosting foreign investment, many Nigerians continue to debate whether such travels yield tangible benefits—especially at a time of economic hardship.

For now, Peter Obi has yet to respond directly to the land-grabbing allegation, but supporters argue that these kinds of attacks are desperate attempts to discredit a growing political force.

Killings: SERAP tells governors to account for security votes.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has urged state governors to account for the spending of public funds in the name of security votes since May 29, 2023, to guarantee and ensure the security of life and property of Nigerians resident in the states.

SERAP also urged the governors to urgently invite the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to jointly investigate, track and monitor the spending of security votes by the states.

In a Freedom of Information request at the weekend, signed by SERAP’s Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare, the organisation said that in the wake of the Benue massacre and well-documented ongoing cases of insecurity in several states, there had been a legitimate public call for governors to account for how they spend security votes.

SERAP said the escalating insecurity in several states was taking a toll on socially and economically vulnerable Nigerians, driving up extreme poverty, intensifying hunger, and leading to other grave human rights violations.

According to the body, the framers of the Nigerian Constitution 1999 (as amended) never contemplated opaque spending of public funds as security votes.

Nigerian bizman in $2.5m US fraud knows fate September.

An Abuja-based businessman, Charles Nwadavid, who is facing trial in the United States over his alleged involvement in a $2.5 million fraud, is scheduled to be sentenced on September 23, 2025.

The sentencing date was set after Nwadavid pleaded guilty to ‘mail fraud, aiding and abetting money laundering, and money laundering’ before a district court, according to a statement obtained from the US Department of Justice on Sunday.

PUNCH Metro reported in April that 35-year-old Nwadavid was arrested upon his arrival in the US via a United Kingdom flight to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

Before his arrest, a federal grand jury in Boston had, in 2024, indicted him on charges of mail fraud and money laundering.
