The Solidarity Network for Workers’ Rights (SNWR) has welcomed the acquittal of 11 activists arrested during the #EndBadGovernance protests, describing the ruling as a major victory for democratic resistance. The group condemned what it termed politically motivated repression by the Nigerian state and said the failed prosecution exposed attempts to criminalise dissent under the Tinubu administration. While celebrating the court victory, SNWR stressed that worsening economic hardship, insecurity and inequality persist, renewing its call for a socialist transformation and the creation of a mass workers’ party.

Julius Malema Says He’ll Choose Nigeria and Jollof Over U.S. Visa Restrictions

South African EFF leader Julius Malema has dismissed concerns over potential U.S. or U.K. visa bans, saying he does not rely on Western approval and would rather travel freely across African nations. In a fiery address, Malema declared he would happily come to Nigeria for Jollof if barred from America, recalling warm receptions and hospitality during past visits. His remarks form part of broader criticism of Western influence and growing speculation over possible travel sanctions linked to his radical economic and anti-imperialist stance.

Okwy Chris reveals the big political shake-up ahead of the 2027 election — the most likely card Tinubu and the APC will play to correct the Muslim–Muslim ticket.

According to him, General Christopher Gwabin Musa is now being quietly positioned as the preferred choice to replace Vice President Kashim Shettima in 2027.

Sources allegedly say the full proposal has already been presented to Bola Ahmed Tinubu — and he reportedly “strongly embraced” the idea.
If true, this could mark the beginning of one of the most unexpected political realignments in recent times, because the Muslim–Muslim ticket that brought Tinubu and Shettima into power was a big error (though I know some APC supporters on this platform will not agree).

Is the military influence returning to the heart of Nigerian politics if the APC succeeds in replacing Shettima with Gen. Musa?
Is this a strategic move… or a sign of deeper political calculations ahead of 2027? Knowing fully well that Trump is watching.

Nigeria never stops surprising us. Stay woke.

If this plan becomes official, do you think General Musa as VP is a GOOD move or a DANGEROUS one for Nigeria’s democracy? Let’s talk!

Niger LG Chairman Accuses Governor Bago of Withholding Funds, Blocking Council Duties in Shiroro

Outgoing Shiroro Local Government chairman, Isyaku Akilu Kuta, has accused Niger State Governor Umar Bago of denying him access to funds, blocking his core responsibilities, and crippling service delivery throughout his tenure. Speaking at a farewell reception, Kuta said the governor’s control over council allocations prevented him from securing appointments, addressing insecurity, or executing development projects—leaving him unable to achieve even 30% of his goals. He alleged that Niger’s LGs received only N10 million monthly plus limited security votes, despite a 2024 Supreme Court ruling mandating full LG autonomy. Kuta condemned the hardships faced by unemployed graduates and retirees in Shiroro and criticized the state’s continued withholding of federal allocations as newly elected council chairmen prepare to assume office.

Insecurity: Kano gov gathers 4,444 Qur’an reciters for prayers against banditry

Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has warned against politicising insecurity, stressing that the growing threat of banditry demands collective action from all citizens regardless of political affiliation.

The governor made the remarks on Saturday night during a special prayer session at the Government House, where 4,444 Qur’an memorizers (Huffaz) gathered to recite the Holy Qur’an and offer prayers for lasting peace in the state following recent attacks by armed bandits.

The event drew notable figures, including the 16th Fulani Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, top government officials, clerics and community leaders.

Governor Yusuf emphasised that insecurity affects everyone equally, urging Nigerians to unite in confronting the menace.

“Insecurity does not know politics or party affiliations. This is why everyone, regardless of their leanings, must join hands to fight the monster of banditry. We want to see everybody working together to free Kano,” he said.

According to him, the government is working round-the-clock with security operatives to protect Kano and its environs.

Describing the mass prayer session as a vital spiritual effort, the governor noted that such initiatives should be appreciated by all well-meaning residents.

The prayer session drew Islamic scholars, Qur’an reciters and participants from all 44 local government areas, all united in seeking divine intervention and an end to insecurity in the state.

Omisore Slams APC Panel After Disqualification From Osun Governorship Primary

Senator Iyiola Omisore has condemned his disqualification from the All Progressives Congress (APC) Osun governorship primary, describing the screening panel’s decision as biased and politically motivated. Omisore, alongside six other aspirants, was barred for allegedly failing to meet nomination requirements, a claim he insists is false and unsupported by evidence. He accused former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of influencing the process in favour of Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji. Omisore said the committee failed to provide specific infractions and called on the APC National Working Committee to overturn what he termed an unfair and non-transparent decision.

Elon Musk Calls for EU Abolition, Says Sovereignty Should Return to Member States

Tech billionaire and X owner Elon Musk has sparked controversy after publicly calling for the abolition of the European Union, arguing that sovereignty should be restored to individual member states. His comments, posted on X, come at a time of rising nationalist sentiment across Europe and ongoing disputes between Brussels and tech platforms over regulatory compliance.
Musk’s statement coincides with mounting tensions between X and EU regulators, who accuse the company of violating the Digital Services Act, prompting investigations into content moderation and transparency practices.
His remarks drew mixed reactions online, with critics accusing him of meddling in European politics, while supporters echoed concerns about centralized EU bureaucracy. EU officials have not yet responded to his comments, which add to the ongoing global debate about the political influence of tech billionaires.

I just watched a woman who gave 35 years of her life to the State of Florida.

Her badge # read 100.

She wasn’t a DEI hire. She wasn’t pushed in by politics or quotas.

She was hired because she was competent… disciplined… and built for the job.

And after 35 years, she was able to retire with honor in a Republican-controlled state.

A state that still values law enforcement… a state that rewards service instead of punishing it.
Tallahassee may lean Democrat as a city, but the Highway Patrol she served under operates in a Republican-led state that protects order, merit, and courage.

Lieutenant Thompson, I salute you. Thank you for your service and your unwavering dedication.

Can we all give this woman a thank you, an amen, or a salute?

Kwara Governor Accused of Paying Monarchs Millions to Back 2027 Agenda Amid Worsening Insecurity

Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has reportedly approved millions of naira for first-class traditional rulers to secure their endorsement of his 2027 succession plan. Sources say the monarchs are being mobilised for a coordinated visit to President Tinubu to publicly support the governor’s zoning agenda favouring Speaker Yakubu Danladi-Salihu. The alleged political manoeuvre comes as insecurity worsens across Kwara North and South, with rampant kidnappings, killings, and community attacks. Youth groups and stakeholders have criticised the monarchs for prioritising politics over the safety and welfare of residents.

IPOB Challenges Senator Orji Kalu to Provide Evidence for Alleged 30,000 Killings in South-East

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has demanded that Senator Orji Uzor Kalu present credible evidence backing his claim that the group and the Eastern Security Network (ESN) were responsible for killing 30,000 people in the South-East. In a statement by spokesperson Emma Powerful, IPOB insisted that such a grave allegation cannot be treated as politics and must be proven or publicly withdrawn. The group accused Kalu of misgovernance during his time as Abia governor, including enabling criminal elements and mismanaging state resources—allegations that remain unverified. IPOB reaffirmed its stance as a peaceful self-determination movement, distancing itself from armed groups and insisting that neither IPOB nor ESN has been proven responsible for killings in the region. The group said both Nigerians and the international community await evidence from the senator.

JUST IN: Natasha Akpoti Fires Back — Says Akpabio’s ₦200BN Lawsuit Will Finally Exp0se His Alleged S£xual Harassment

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has dropped a bombshell after receiving a ₦200 billion defamation lawsuit from Senate President Godswill Akpabio over allegations of s£xual harassment.

In her statement, Natasha said she is relieved the case has finally landed in court — because, according to her, the Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges refused to hear her earlier complaints, hiding behind the excuse that Akpabio’s wife had already sued her.

She wrote:

“I now have a chance to prove how I was s£xually harassed, and how my refusal to give into his demands unleashed a series of unprovoked attacks on my person. See you in court, Godswill Akpabio.”

With both heavyweights now heading to court, Nigerians are bracing for what could become one of the biggest political scandals of 2025.

Do you think this court battle will finally reveal the truth — or will it be another political drama swept under the carpet?
