The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has said that the reported ₦600 billion war chest allegedly being amassed by Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, will not guarantee his re-election in 2027.

Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has called on the Federal Government to immediately halt all military cooperation with the United States following reported US airstrikes. Gumi warned that American involvement could worsen Nigeria’s security challenges and undermine national sovereignty. Gumi made the call in a statement posted on his Facebook page on Friday. He said while Islam permits the fight against terrorism, such actions should only be carried out by what he described as “clean hands,” arguing that the United States lacks the moral authority to lead such efforts because of its global military record.

Gumi warned that allowing Nigeria to become a theatre of war would attract anti-US forces into...
