Just In: Senate chambers buzzed with tension as Senate President Godswill Akpabio reportedly told fellow senators that “Donald Trump is on our necks”— insisting that the U.S. is watching closely and already thre@tening action against Nigeria over rising terror!sm concerns. According to political analyst Okwy Chris, this is exactly why Gen. Christopher Musa was quickly appointed as Nigeria’s new Defence Minister. His words were sharp: “Nigerians, now you can see the real reason Gen. Musa was made Defence Minister. He’s the man they believe can clean up the m3ss they created. These leaders fear America, not the Nigerians they sn@tched p0wer from.” This development has stirred major conversations nationwide — especially with the idea that international pressure, not internal accountability, is what finally forces Nigerian leaders to “do the right thing.” Is this the wake-up call the government needs? Nigeria may be entering a new phase of global scrutiny — and the world is watching. Do you think America’s pressure will actually make Nigerian leaders act right, or will it change nothing?

Tinubu Govt Using Buhari-Era Strategy To Silence Me – Sowore Human rights activist and African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has dismissed fresh forgery allegations against him, describing them as a recycled tactic to silence and blackmail him. Speaking on Channels TV Hard Copy, Sowore said the accusations mirror the Buhari administration’s 2019 strategy, when he was arrested and charged with terrorism financing, money laundering, and cybercrime claims later dropped in court. He also faulted a recent court order directing banks to furnish the Inspector-General of Police with his account details, calling it a violation of his privacy and fundamental rights. Sowore maintained that the forgery allegations lack basis, arguing that the supposed evidence presented by the police does not amount to forgery. He accused the government of repeatedly framing charges without proof to keep him in court battles. The activist linked the renewed case to his protests for better welfare for retired police officers and his opposition to the extension of IGP Kayode Egbetokun’s tenure, which he insists is illegal. #Sowore #NigeriaPolitics #HumanRights
