"A TRUE MOTHER DOESN'T CELEBRATE WHILE HER CHILDREN ARE MISSING" - ATIKU BLASTS FIRST LADY REMI TINUBU

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s administration over the handling of abd¥cted schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo State. Atiku, through his aide Phrank Shaibu, said it was disturbing that weeks after the May 15, 2026 abd¥ctions, the victims were still in captivity while government officials continued political activities and public celebrations. He accused the administration of lacking urgency and empathy in responding to the crisis. He also faulted First Lady Oluremi Tinubu’s public engagements during the period, saying: “A true mother does not celebrate while her children are missing,” adding that leadership should prioritise the safe return of abd¥cted victims over political festivities. Atiku further described ongoing displays of celebration amid insecurity as insensitive, insisting that Nigerians expect urgent action rather than what he called “political pageantry,” while urging authorities to ensure the immedi...

The Inspector-General of Police (IGP) special investigative team has successfully arrested Ifechukwu Dennis, the individual alleged to have originated and created the fake AI-generated voice note that was passed off as the authentic voice of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Dennis was apprehended in Benin City, Edo State. According to reports, he is suspected of producing the manipulated audio clip, which was widely circulated on social media and used to mislead the public.

2027: ANY VOTE FOR PETER OBI IS VOTE FOR TINUBU - KENNETH OKONKWO

Former Labour Party spokesperson and chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Kenneth Okonkwo, has said that voting for Peter Obi in the 2027 presidential election would ultimately benefit President Bola Tinubu. Speaking during an interview with Symfoni TV on Wednesday, Okonkwo argued that opposition parties must unite behind a single candidate to stand a realistic chance of defeating the incumbent president. According to him, a divided opposition would only strengthen Tinubu’s chances of securing a second term in office. “The reason I said it is that either you’re working for Tinubu directly, in other words, you’re in the APC, or you’re working for Tinubu indirectly because when you divide the votes of the coalition and the opposition, you’re still making Tinubu better placed to win,” he said. Okonkwo also criticised Obi’s reported withdrawal from coalition talks involving the ADC, claiming the former Anambra State governor was unwilling to participate in a comp...

"NIGERIANS DON'T WANT APC AGAIN, TINUBU WILL LOSE IF THERE'S AN ELECTION TODAY" - PRIMATE AYODELE WARNS PRESIDENT AHEAD OF 2027

Renowned cleric and leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has made a bold prediction about the political future of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Speaking during a recent address, the outspoken prophet claimed that President Tinubu would face significant challenges if elections were conducted today, insisting that many Nigerians have become dissatisfied with the current administration due to the prevailing economic hardship, rising insecurity, and growing public frustration across the country. According to Primate Ayodele, President Tinubu would not easily accept electoral defeat if he were voted out of office, drawing comparisons with former President Goodluck Jonathan, who famously conceded defeat after the 2015 presidential election. The cleric stated: “If they defeat Tinubu, it will take about two weeks for him to accept defeat, and there will be high tension in the country. For you not to b...

The ADC Student Wings in Rivers State has criticized former senator and political leader, Senator Magnus Abe, over comments allegedly describing the governorship ticket awarded to Sir Gabriel Pidomson as a "cunning ticket" orchestrated by former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi. In a press statement signed by the Coordinator of the ADC Student Wings in Rivers State, Comrade Augustus Dumbari Prince, the group described the alleged remark as unfair, misleading, and disrespectful to the democratic processes of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

The student body expressed concern that Senator Abe's comments could undermine the credibility of the candidate and the integrity of the party without presenting any evidence to support the claims. ...

APPEAL COURT AFFIRMS ABDULRAHMAN-LED PDP CARETAKER COMMITTEE, DISMISSES TURAKI GROUP'S APPEAL

In a significant legal victory for the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has unanimously dismissed the appeal filed by the Turaki Group challenging the judgment of the Federal High Court (FHC), Ibadan, which recognized the Abdulrahman-led PDP Caretaker Committee. The appellate court upheld the earlier decision of the Federal High Court, which had, in January this year, declined to recognize the executive produced by the Turaki Group’s Ibadan convention and instead affirmed the legitimacy of the Abdulrahman-led Caretaker Committee. The caretaker committee had supervised the PDP National Convention that produced the current members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC). Delivering its judgment, the Court of Appeal held that the appeal had become merely academic and failed to present any live issue warranting judicial intervention, thereby dismissing the case in its entirety. The ruling effectively reinforces the l...

Evangelist Mike Bamiloye, founder of Mount Zion Faith Ministries, has defended the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, amid backlash over the cleric’s recent remarks on Nigeria’s worsening insecurity.

POOR NIGERIANS ARE THE BIGGEST BENEFICIARIES OF TINUBU'S REFORMS - PRESIDENCY CLAIMS

Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Public Communication, Daniel Bwala, has argued that the biggest beneficiaries of the administration’s policies are low-income Nigerians. Speaking during an appearance on Arise Television’s Prime Time on Tuesday, Bwala pointed to programmes such as the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) initiative, and healthcare interventions as examples of policies designed to improve the lives of ordinary citizens.

"I FOLLOWED PETER OBI OUT OF SYMPATHY, THREE POLITICIANS REJECTED HIM" - DATTI BABA-AHMED

Former Labour Party vice-presidential candidate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, has revealed that sympathy for Peter Obi was a key reason he agreed to become his running mate in the 2023 presidential election. Speaking during an interview with Symfoni, Baba-Ahmed said Obi approached three influential politicians in 2022 in an effort to build alliances ahead of the election, but none agreed to join him.

Baba-Ahmed declined to identify the politicians involved or explain why they chose not to align with Obi at the time.

The Court of Appeal has upheld a high court order nullifying the Rivers APC ward, local government, and state congresses that produced the Tony Okocha-led exco, which is loyal to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike.

Families go to bed praying not to receive midnight calls announcing the abd¥ction of loved ones,” he stated. The former presidential candidate further lamented that “ransom payment...

Former Minister of Transportation and chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has rejected the outcome of the party’s presidential primaries, describing the results as “concocted” and lacking credibility.

GIRL I DROPPED OUT OF UNILAG TO SPONSOR TO U.K DUMPED ME, MARRIED OYIBO AND BLOCKED ME EVERYWHERE

I loved her with everything and truly believed we would grow old side by side and because i wanted her to succeed, I made one of the biggest sacr!ficès of my life. I dropped out of Unilag to support her education and sponsor her to school in UK. I believed her success was our success, and i was willing to give up my own dreams just to see her happy.
