Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, has praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for introducing bold, decisive, and sometimes tough policy reforms aimed at driving long-term transformation in Nigeria’s economy, governance, and infrastructure. Governor Mbah emphasized that the Enugu State Government will continue to stand solidly behind President Tinubu to ensure the success of his administration’s policies, describing the president’s initiatives as both visionary and beneficial to citizens in the long run. Speaking during a courtesy visit by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, at the Enugu State Government House on Thursday, Governor Mbah noted that Tinubu’s leadership style since assuming office has been marked by a firm commitment to citizen engagement and transparency. He pointed out that immediately after taking office, the president signed Executive Order 001, which mandates effective public engagement and quarterly accountability reports to Nigerians. According to Mbah, this is a crucial step toward restoring public trust in governance. The Minister, who led a delegation comprising directors-general, managing directors, and other senior officials under the Ministry of Information, was in Enugu to inspect federal projects and interact with the people of the state. Enugu’s Transformation Under Tinubu’s Economic Reforms Before the Tinubu administration, Enugu State struggled financially, often unable to pay salaries promptly after receiving federal allocations—making capital projects a distant priority. However, Governor Mbah revealed that this has significantly changed under the current economic reforms. “Today, not only are we paying salaries promptly, but we are also embarking on massive development projects,” Mbah said. “Thanks to the president’s bold initiatives and tough decisions. Yes, there is temporary discomfort, but the long-term benefits far outweigh the short-term challenges.” He further explained that the removal of fuel subsidies and the elimination of arbitrage in the foreign exchange market have helped unify Nigeria’s exchange rate system, creating a more stable economic environment. Smart Green Schools & AI-Driven Education Governor Mbah highlighted that Enugu is currently constructing 7,000 brand-new classrooms under the Smart Green Schools initiative, which incorporates 21st-century learning facilities. Each school will be equipped with: These facilities aim to prepare students for the future of work, with advanced STEM-based education models. Modern Primary Healthcare for All The governor also revealed plans to build 260 Type-2 Primary Healthcare Centres—one for each ward in Enugu State. Each centre will include: This initiative is designed to provide 24/7 healthcare access to rural communities, aligning with the federal government’s grassroots development strategy. Boosting Aviation and Trade Governor Mbah thanked President Tinubu for approving the concessioning of Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, which will make the international wing fully operational and position the state as an aviation and trade hub in the region. He stressed, “We deeply appreciate the president’s commitment. We see strong alignment between our state’s priorities and the federal government’s goals. We will continue to support him because these projects and policies are uplifting Nigerians.” Federal Delegation in Attendance The Minister’s delegation included:
• 500,000 New Jobs Projected ABUJA — In a strategic move to revive Nigeria’s steel industry and position it as a globally competitive sector, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has announced that the Federal Government aims to achieve a production capacity of 10 million tonnes of liquid steel by the year 2030. President Tinubu made this known during his keynote address at the inaugural Two-Day National Stakeholders Summit on Steel Development held in Abuja. The event, which was themed “Rebuilding and Consolidating Nigeria’s Steel Industry: Collaborative Action for Sustainable Growth and Global Competitiveness”, brought together key players from government, academia, and the private sector to discuss actionable strategies for industry revitalization. Represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, the President emphasized that the steel sector is the backbone of industrialization and plays a central role in Nigeria’s economic diversification away from oil dependence. According to Tinubu, the future of the nation’s industrial capacity cannot rely on government efforts alone. He called for strong private sector investment, academic research and innovation, and active public patronage of locally produced steel. Despite Nigeria’s rich deposits of iron ore, limestone, and coal, the country still imports more than 90% of the steel it consumes. The President described the state of the Ajaokuta Steel Company—once envisioned as Nigeria’s industrial crown jewel—as a “monument to abandoned ambition,” stressing that its dormancy is more than an economic concern; it poses a threat to national sovereignty. In his words: “My administration is determined to change the narrative. We will rethink, retool, and fully revitalize Nigeria’s steel sector. Our set target is to produce 10 million tonnes of liquid steel by 2030 and create over 500,000 jobs within the industry. This is part of our commitment to building a self-reliant and industrialized Nigeria.” To ensure a structured and sustainable transformation, Tinubu disclosed that his administration has designed two key roadmaps: These strategies, he explained, will focus on infrastructure upgrades, regulatory reforms, and skill development, all aimed at creating an enabling environment for sustainable steel industry growth. Tinubu concluded by reinforcing that this revitalization effort requires collaborative action from private investors, academic institutions, skilled Nigerian workers, and the general public through the active use of locally produced steel.

The Bakaro/Dangikka Primary School Old Boys Association has called on Prof. Muhammad Ali Pate, currently the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, to contemplate a run for the governorship of Bauchi State in 2027. In their official communiqué, delivered by Secretary-General Umar Musa, the alumni stressed that Pate’s extensive background in health governance and policy would be invaluable in addressing the state’s developmental challenges. They highlighted his prior roles—Director-General of the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency, Minister of State for Health, and consultant with the World Bank—as evidence of his capacity to spearhead impactful change, both domestically and internationally. The group pinpointed several critical sectors in need of urgent revitalization in Bauchi: healthcare, education, agriculture, housing, water infrastructure, security, and employment. “Our appeal stems from his proven delivery and capability—not partisan loyalty,” the statement clarified. While acknowledging that the decision ultimately lies with Prof. Pate, the association expressed hope that he would give the matter serious consideration as preparations for the 2027 election advance.

The Nigerian government has appointed Fuji music legend Wasiu Ayinde Marshal—popularly known as KWAM 1—as an ambassador to champion proper airport security procedures. Simultaneously, authorities have reduced his flight suspension to one month, triggering renewed public interest. In a formal announcement made via X on Wednesday, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, confirmed the decision. The minister explained that KWAM 1’s expression of regret following the ValueJet incident was a key factor influencing the government’s response. Keyamo stated that the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) will shorten the singer’s aviation ban to just one month. Moreover, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) will collaborate with him in his new ambassadorial role, promoting adherence to airport safety guidelines. In a related move, NCAA will retract the criminal complaints previously filed against the artist with law enforcement. This gesture underscores a compassionate resolution rather than a punitive approach, while maintaining the government’s firm commitment to aviation security standards. The minister further emphasized that these steps were taken purely on compassionate grounds—not motivated by political or legal maneuvering. He clarified that the government will not yield to biased public sentiment or skewed legal interpretations when its laws have clearly been breached. To put things in context: on August 5, at Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport in Abuja, KWAM 1 was observed drinking from a flask while aboard a ValueJet aircraft. When a flight attendant raised concerns that the flask might contain alcohol, KWAM 1 insisted it held doctor-prescribed medication. He then advanced toward the aircraft’s front, apparently in an attempt to prevent takeoff. The altercation escalated visibly—video footage captured him standing before the plane and dodging its wing as the aircraft prepared for departure. These actions violated several aviation safety protocols. In response to the disruption, authorities initially imposed a six-month flight ban on KWAM 1 across both domestic and international routes originating from Nigerian airports. By reducing his ban and appointing him as a security-awareness ambassador, the government signals that individuals who acknowledge their mistakes and cooperate with safety oversight can still contribute positively to public campaigns.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has declared its unwillingness to remain silent following allegations that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is deliberately targeting prominent figures within the opposition ahead of the highly anticipated 2027 general elections. This latest outrage erupted after the EFCC, on Monday, reportedly arrested and interrogated former Sokoto State Governor and serving senator, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, over accusations involving questionable cash withdrawals amounting to an estimated ₦189 billion. Tambuwal, a strategic and influential member of the united opposition coalition, served as governor of Sokoto State from 2015 to 2023, and his political influence remains significant on the national stage. According to LMSINT MEDIA, this development has reignited national conversations about the independence and impartiality of Nigeria’s anti-corruption agencies. Many fear that, as election season approaches, allegations of political interference in the EFCC’s operations may intensify. EFCC Becoming APC’s Political Weapon – ADC In its reaction to Tambuwal’s arrest, the ADC accused the EFCC of conducting selective, politically-driven investigations aimed squarely at intimidating and discrediting opposition politicians. Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, signed an official statement alleging that the EFCC had, in recent months, reactivated old corruption cases against senior members of the opposition coalition without presenting any fresh evidence. The statement further claimed that investigations into certain influential members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) were quietly abandoned once those individuals defected to the ruling party. “The EFCC was established to act as a fearless protector of public trust, applying the law fairly to all citizens, regardless of political affiliation. Sadly, that vision now appears compromised. Instead of operating as an independent commission, it has started functioning like a unit of the APC—targeting critics and opposition voices to accomplish politically-motivated goals that cannot be achieved through open democratic debate,” the statement read. The ADC urged Nigerians, civil society organizations, and the media to actively demand institutional independence for anti-graft agencies, warning that allowing political interference would erode democracy. The party also pointed to EFCC actions targeting other prominent figures, including former Senate President David Mark and former Imo State Governor Emeka Ihedioha. According to the ADC, leaked EFCC correspondence showed that the agency had requested information from the Imo State Government regarding Ihedioha’s brief tenure from May 29, 2019, to January 14, 2020. Similarly, records from Mark’s Senate presidency between 2007 and 2015 were reportedly under review. Atiku: Tambuwal’s Detention Is Politically Motivated Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar condemned Tambuwal’s detention, describing it as part of a broader scheme by the Bola Tinubu administration to weaken the opposition before the 2027 elections. Posting a statement on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, Atiku accused the federal government of weaponizing the anti-corruption war to coerce political leaders into joining the APC. “Anyone aligned with the opposition seems to become a target for fabricated corruption allegations. Yet, once they align with President Bola Tinubu’s political agenda, their so-called ‘sins’ are forgiven. This is neither institution-building nor genuine anti-corruption work—it is political manipulation that undermines the fight against corruption,” Atiku wrote. As one of the political figures instrumental in the creation of the EFCC, Atiku expressed deep concern over what he perceives as its partisan deployment. He warned that this trajectory risks turning Nigeria into a one-party state and urged both local and international stakeholders to resist such politicization. Tinubu and APC Using State Institutions to Intimidate Opposition – Paul Ibe Atiku’s media adviser, Paul Ibe, in an interview with LMSINT MEDIA, accused the president and the APC of using state apparatus to harass and pressure opposition figures into joining the ruling party. According to Ibe, the arrest of Tambuwal is only one step in a calculated strategy to dismantle opposition unity and tilt the 2027 electoral playing field. He described the current climate as “worse than military rule,” alleging that freedom of speech, rule of law, and freedom of association have been undermined. Ibe dismissed claims that the ADC is a sectional or regional party, insisting it is a truly national political platform with members from every region, religion, and socio-economic background. Tanko: Tinubu Administration Out to Destroy Democracy Dr. Yunusa Tanko, Interim National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement and former spokesman for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Organisation, also issued a stern warning. Speaking to LMSINT MEDIA, Tanko described the government as “vicious” and intent on eroding democratic structures. He alleged that anyone who joins the APC is treated as “redeemed,” while those in opposition are labelled criminals, regardless of the ruling party’s own misconduct. Tanko emphasized the importance of building strong grassroots political structures to resist state repression. Analyst Questions EFCC’s Credibility Nduka Odo, a Public Affairs Analyst at Peaceland University, Enugu, argued that the EFCC has allowed political interference to tarnish its credibility. He questioned the timing of Tambuwal’s arrest, linking it directly to his move to the ADC and the formation of a credible opposition coalition. Odo also criticized past EFCC inconsistencies, citing the case of former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello, who remains free despite public corruption allegations. He called for reforms that would make the EFCC independent from presidential control.

Residents of Akpab Okoyong, Okurikang, Creek Town, and other neighbouring settlements in Odukpani Local Government Area (LGA) of Cross River State — the home communities of Governor Bassey Otu — have raised fresh concerns over the absence of police posts or stations in their area. Local stakeholders say the security vacuum has left them vulnerable to the activities of criminal gangs and other lawless groups, making life increasingly unsafe for residents and their properties. The appeal was made on Wednesday morning during a community update programme on Sparkling FM, where several speakers lamented the escalating security threats due to the lack of police presence. Apart from producing the current Governor, Creek Town is also the hometown of former Deputy Governor Efiok Cobham, and several other prominent figures who have held key national positions in Nigeria. Speaking on the matter, a concerned community leader, Ekpenuong Akamba, said: “I am from Okoyong. In the entire clan, including nearby communities such as Creek Town and Okurikang, there are no operational police stations. Back in the 1990s, we had police posts, but they were relocated and have never been returned. “The local population is completely without police protection, leaving us at the mercy of armed gangs that continue to terrorise residents, damage property, and disrupt peace. “We urgently need a police presence in these communities. It is surprising that despite having notable and influential individuals from here, the security situation has been left unattended.” The residents insist that restoring police posts in these communities will serve as both a deterrent to criminals and a reassurance of safety for law-abiding citizens. They called on security agencies and relevant government authorities to treat the matter as an urgent public safety priority.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Ms. Derinsola Abiola, daughter of the late Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (MKO) Abiola, as the new Director-General of the Citizenship and Leadership Training Centre (CLTC). This move has received commendations from the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), who described the appointment as a “perfect fit for the role.” In a press statement issued by the National Public Relations Officer of NANS, Comrade Adeyemi Samson Ajasa, the association praised the President for what they termed a “thoughtful and well-deserved appointment.” According to NANS, Ms. Abiola’s prior track record positioned her as the ideal person to lead the CLTC. Before her elevation, she served as the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on Citizenship and Leadership, where she consistently demonstrated exceptional focus, competence, and dedication to advancing national development, promoting civic responsibility, and empowering Nigerian youth. Her tenure as SSA was marked by an unwavering commitment to nurturing responsible citizenship and fostering strong leadership values among young Nigerians. This, the association noted, made her an invaluable asset in the task of shaping the next generation of leaders. NANS further stressed that the President’s confidence in appointing her to the Director-General position is well-founded, adding that the new role will grant her a broader platform to expand her impact and deliver even greater achievements. “This appointment is a clear reflection of her proven capacity and integrity,” NANS said. “We urge her to maintain her focus, dedication, and passion for service to the nation.” The student body reaffirmed its readiness to partner with the CLTC under her leadership in advancing initiatives aimed at youth leadership development, national unity, and civic engagement. In closing, NANS extended warm congratulations to Ms. Derinsola Abiola, wishing her remarkable success in this new phase of public service.

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) and the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) have taken legal action against Niger State Governor Mohammed Umar Bago and the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) following the reported closure of the Minna-based Badeggi FM radio station. The case highlights growing concerns over press freedom and political interference in Nigeria’s broadcast industry. According to reports, Governor Bago allegedly ordered security forces to seal off the Badeggi FM premises. He further threatened to revoke the station’s operational licence, demolish its building, and accused the radio station of allegedly inciting violence within the state. These accusations have drawn public attention, with media advocates viewing them as attempts to silence critical journalism. The suit, filed on Friday at the Federal High Court in Lagos under case number FHC/L/CS/1587/2025, calls on the judiciary to intervene in protecting media independence. SERAP and the NGE are urging the court to declare that the NBC holds a constitutional and statutory responsibility—under the Nigerian Constitution and the NBC Act—to shield Badeggi FM and other broadcasting stations from undue political and administrative interference. The plaintiffs are also seeking a perpetual injunction restraining Governor Bago and the NBC from carrying out any form of harassment, closure, or operational disruption of Badeggi FM. They argue that NBC’s inaction in defending the station’s editorial independence constitutes a breach of its statutory obligations. According to SERAP and the NGE, the alleged threats against Badeggi FM are unlawful, a violation of press freedom, and a strategic move to silence dissenting voices in the build-up to the 2027 general elections. They emphasised that the accusations against the station were vague, unsubstantiated, and without credible evidence. The court filing partly reads: “The allegations against Badeggi FM are unproven and lacking in substance. Any attempt to intimidate media organisations undermines the principles of democracy and suppresses open, public discourse on matters of national importance.” SERAP and the NGE further insisted that both Governor Bago and the NBC must guarantee a safe working environment for journalists and broadcasters. They stressed that any restriction on media operations should comply strictly with legal standards, be necessary, and not be based on arbitrary claims of national security. The lawsuit represents a broader debate about media freedom in Nigeria, particularly in politically sensitive periods. Advocacy groups have repeatedly warned that press intimidation could erode democratic accountability, allowing unchecked political power to flourish.

Prophet Bomadi Serimoedumu, the General Overseer and founder of Mount Zion Divine Gospel Ministry Inc., has predicted that former Nigerian President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan will once again occupy Aso Rock as the country’s leader in 2027. Speaking during a prophetic service on Sunday at Paradise City Zion, the headquarters of the church in Bomadi, Delta State, the cleric revealed that his vision showed Jonathan returning to power through a decisive victory in the next presidential election—if he chooses to contest. According to Serimoedumu, during a spiritual revelation, he saw the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) flag flying prominently above all other political banners. In that vision, Jonathan was holding the flag high, symbolizing his triumph over political rivals and his emergence as president once again. The prophecy further stated that Jonathan would serve a single four-year term, during which the nation would experience economic recovery, prosperity, and widespread celebrations. “In my vision, I clearly saw President Goodluck Jonathan in Aso Rock, leading this nation again. If he decides to run in 2027, he will win the election and return as president. His administration will usher in a time of prosperity, and the citizens will rejoice,” Serimoedumu proclaimed. The cleric emphasized that the vision was clear and spiritually confirmed, pointing toward a possible political comeback for Jonathan after more than a decade since leaving office.

House of Representatives Withdraws Compulsory Voting Bill President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has inaugurated a special presidential committee headed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, to address and resolve the long-standing internal conflict within the Bauchi State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC). According to a statement issued on Sunday by Musa Krishi, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Speaker, the presidential panel was formed with the mandate to tackle the persistent political disputes that have troubled the Bauchi APC for several years. The committee includes high-profile political figures such as: First Meeting and Strategic Plans The statement disclosed that the Abbas-led panel officially began its work in late July, holding its inaugural session in Abuja. During this meeting, members engaged in detailed discussions and mapped out strategic approaches to resolve the Bauchi APC crisis. Speaker Abbas noted that President Tinubu had selected members for their integrity, proven track record, and capacity to act fairly and objectively. He urged the committee to meet expectations by completing the assignment within one month, ahead of the APC congresses. Tracing the Root of the Dispute After conducting a thorough review, the committee traced the conflict back to the 2015 APC primaries in Bauchi State. To address the issues, members resolved to embark on a fact-finding mission and hold consultations with key stakeholders. A crucial stakeholders’ meeting was subsequently held on July 31 at the Yobe State Governor’s Lodge in Asokoro, chaired by Governor Buni in the absence of Speaker Abbas. Among the prominent figures present were: Next Steps The panel is expected to submit its recommendations in the coming weeks, paving the way for further presidential intervention aimed at restoring unity and stability within the Bauchi APC.

The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Customs and Excise, Leke Abejide, has voiced strong confidence that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would emerge victorious if former President Goodluck Jonathan joins the 2027 presidential race. Speaking during an interview on the Mic On Podcast hosted by journalist Seun Okinbaloye on Saturday, Abejide stated that Tinubu’s potential victory margin would be significant — winning more than 32 states across Nigeria should Jonathan declare his candidacy. Abejide, who represents Yagba East/Yagba West/Mopamuro Federal Constituency in Kogi State, dismissed any notion that Jonathan’s return to active politics would drastically change the political outcome in 2027. Speculations Over Jonathan’s Possible Return Political observers have been speculating that former President Jonathan may make a political comeback in the 2027 general elections. Jonathan previously served as Nigeria’s president for one term before losing to the late former President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 elections. However, Abejide issued a note of caution to those considering Jonathan’s return. He maintained that, based on his political analysis, Tinubu would still dominate the elections, potentially losing only in Anambra and Abia States while securing wins in other regions, including Ebonyi State. “My prayer is that they should run on separate political platforms,” Abejide said.“If that happens, Asiwaju will win at least 32 states. He may lose Anambra and Abia, but he will win Ebonyi and possibly surpass that 32-state mark.” Tinubu’s Popularity and Public Sentiment Speaking further, Abejide emphasized President Tinubu’s growing popularity nationwide. Drawing from his recent travels, he said: “I just returned from Kano. I was there on Wednesday and spent the night. On Thursday morning, I traveled to Kaduna by road — there was no insecurity, and the road was in excellent condition. Then, this morning, I took the train to Abuja. I can confidently say that the people are happy.” His comments reflect a perspective that improved infrastructure and relative security in certain regions are boosting Tinubu’s public image ahead of the 2027 elections.

Human rights activist and former Nigerian presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has announced plans to initiate a lawsuit against the Nigeria Police Force for what his legal representatives have described as “inhumane and degrading treatment” during his most recent detention. In an official statement released on Saturday, Sowore’s lawyer, Tope Temokun, alleged that the incident occurred in the early hours of Friday, August 8, 2025, around 6:00 a.m., when police officers reportedly attempted to forcefully relocate him from one cell to another. According to Temokun, this violent encounter resulted in a fractured arm for Sowore. The legal team strongly dismissed the police’s official statement, which claimed that Sowore had arrived at the station with his arm already bandaged. Temokun labeled the account as “false, self-indicting, and logically inconsistent.” Furthermore, the lawyer challenged the Nigeria Police Force to publicly release the full inventory of Sowore’s personal belongings seized during his arrest, insisting that such evidence could either confirm or disprove their narrative. The statement also revealed that Sowore was denied access to his private medical team. Instead, police allegedly offered him treatment from a non-certified first-aider, without conducting any X-ray scans or professional diagnosis. According to Temokun, Sowore’s refusal to accept treatment from police medical personnel was to avoid potential evidence manipulation by individuals accused of causing the injury in the first place. The legal counsel further accused the police of ignoring serious allegations, including the alleged theft of Sowore’s Ray-Ban AI glasses by an officer. This, they argued, contrasted sharply with the rapid public denial issued by the police concerning the assault allegations. Temokun also refuted the police’s justification for Sowore’s detention, which was based on his refusal to make a statement. He stressed that this decision was entirely within Sowore’s constitutional rights, citing Section 35(2) of the Nigerian Constitution and Section 60(1) of the Police Act 2020 as legal backing. “The undeniable fact remains: Omoyele Sowore sustained a broken arm while under police custody and direct control. We will explore every available legal remedy, including formal petitions to the Nigeria Police Council and the Police Service Commission,” Temokun declared. Sowore was released late on Friday, after spending two days in detention. Nonetheless, his legal representatives have vowed to demand a comprehensive account from every officer involved in the incident.

Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has dismissed suggestions that the coalition-supported African Democratic Congress (ADC) could significantly influence the outcome of the 2027 general elections.According to him, the recent embrace of the ADC by opposition figures has ironically made them less effective rather than boosting their political weight. Governor Sule made this known on Friday during a media chat shortly after he paid a visit to the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja. “I am not particularly concerned about the ADC,” Sule said. “From what I gathered, the ADC is not a splinter group from our party, the APC, but rather a breakaway faction from another political party. If that is the case, it means their strength has been reduced. They are not gaining ground — they are actually becoming weaker. So, as far as we are concerned in the APC, we are not worried about them.” The Governor stressed that the APC’s focus has never been on the activities of rival political groups but rather on strengthening its own structures and delivering on its promises to Nigerians. “We have never been overly concerned about the opposition,” he continued. “Our priority is always to focus on our own capacity and strategies — ensuring we fulfil our obligations to the Nigerian people. This is exactly what President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has consistently demonstrated. All APC governors are equally working hard in their respective states to support this administration’s vision, and we will continue to do so.” Sule added that, on a personal level, he avoids getting distracted by the movements of other parties. “I don’t waste time monitoring the internal affairs of other parties. My interest is firmly on what my own party, the APC, is doing to serve the people,” he noted. On Yilwatda’s Appointment as APC Chairman The Governor also spoke about the recent appointment of Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda as the APC National Chairman, describing it as a timely and strategic decision that addresses long-standing concerns in the party’s North-Central zone. “The new chairman is very much in tune with the Renewed Hope Agenda. His appointment comes at the right time — exactly when a leader with his qualities is needed. For us in the North-Central zone, who have been calling for the return of the chairmanship to our region, we now have no reason to complain. The position is back in our zone, and that is a welcome development,” Sule affirmed.
