A devastating fire incident occurred in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, when a petrol tanker transporting 33,000 litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol, erupted in flames. According to a report obtained by LMSINT MEDIA, the tragic event unfolded on Thursday evening at Celica Junction, situated along the New Ife Expressway in Ibadan. How the Petrol Tanker Fire Accident Happened Investigations reveal that the tanker suffered a brake system failure while in motion, which caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle. As a result, the out-of-control tanker collided with a Toyota Prado Jeep and another unidentified car. This collision led the tanker to overturn, triggering an inferno that engulfed the surrounding vehicles. Although the fire was intense, no lives were lost in the accident. However, the blaze affected both the Prado Jeep and the car involved, causing substantial damage. Official Statement from Oyo State Fire Service Honourable Maroof Akinwande, the Chairman of the Oyo State Fire Service, confirmed the incident through an official statement provided to LMSINT MEDIA on Thursday. According to Akinwande, the distress call was received precisely at 6:27 PM. He stated: “Our firemen responded promptly by deploying chemical foam compound to douse the flames, successfully preventing the fire from extending to the nearby NNPC petrol station and adjacent properties. The effort was a combined operation with the Federal Fire Service officers.” Further clarifying the cause, Akinwande reiterated: “The fire was a direct consequence of a braking system failure in the moving truck. This mechanical fault caused the driver to lose control, collide with a Prado Jeep and another vehicle, before the tanker toppled and ignited.” While there were no human casualties, the tanker, the car, and the Prado Jeep were all affected by the fire. Additionally, the Jeep was thrust into a nearby drainage channel due to the impact of the crash. Fire Safety Precautions and Lessons This incident serves as a critical reminder about the importance of vehicle maintenance, especially for heavy-duty trucks carrying highly flammable substances like PMS. Regular brake system checks and adherence to road safety protocols are essential to prevent such catastrophic events.

The youth division of the leading Igbo socio-cultural body, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, has commended President Bola Tinubu’s government for breathing new life into the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). The group asserted that the current administration has successfully restored hope and credibility in the commission’s operations. According to Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, the NDDC Board, which President Tinubu inaugurated earlier this year, represents a pivotal shift in the trajectory of the commission that has existed for 25 years. This significant observation was made by the National President of the Youth Council, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, in a statement issued on Thursday. Okwu emphasized that the new board has revived the core purpose for which the NDDC was established. He referenced the remarkable accomplishments recently showcased during the commission’s 25th anniversary celebrations, describing them as truly encouraging and indicative of purposeful leadership. Highlighting the efforts of the current Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (MD/CEO) of the NDDC, Mr. Samuel Ogbuku, Okwu praised his leadership and commitment. He noted that Ogbuku has shown exceptional capacity to rejuvenate the commission, thereby validating its existence and impact. Okwu further remarked that the current administration marks a clear departure from past experiences where much was promised but little was delivered. He expressed particular satisfaction with the numerous development projects that are now visible in oil-producing regions of the South-East, specifically Imo and Abia States. In his words, “We commend President Bola Tinubu for assembling the current NDDC Board. This is distinctly different from what we previously experienced.” He added that the current leadership of the NDDC has made it a point to ensure that every oil-producing community feels included and valued. The board’s approach has been both comprehensive and inclusive. “There are various ongoing initiatives, such as road construction, water supply projects, and street lighting in the designated regions of Imo and Abia States,” he elaborated. Okwu also lauded the commission for involving all regions in the 25th anniversary celebrations, ensuring that every community feels connected to the NDDC’s mission and achievements. He observed that in many communities, NDDC projects remain the only significant form of government intervention. This, he argued, is a testament to President Tinubu’s strategic appointment of capable individuals to the commission’s leadership. Okwu concluded by urging the NDDC Board to maintain this momentum and continue advancing development projects that have rekindled hope among the oil-producing populations. “We encourage the Board not to rest on its laurels but to persist in driving consistent progress that sustains hope and development in these vital communities,” he stated.

The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has issued a sharp rebuke against Femi Adesina, the former Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to late President Muhammadu Buhari, following his controversial statements about Nigeria’s health sector. The association described Adesina’s commentary as a blatant insult to Nigerians who rely on the nation’s healthcare services. During a recent televised interview, Adesina remarked that the late President Buhari might have died much earlier had he depended on medical care from Nigerian hospitals. He alleged that local healthcare facilities lacked the necessary equipment and expertise to manage the health complications that eventually led Buhari to seek treatment in London. In response, Dr. Diamond Tamunokuro, Chairman of the NMA Rivers State Chapter, condemned Adesina’s comments in an interview with LMSINT MEDIA. Tamunokuro expressed deep concern over the disparaging nature of Adesina’s words, asserting that millions of Nigerians depend on these same healthcare institutions for both primary and specialized medical services. Dr. Tamunokuro further stated that Adesina’s comments directly reflect the healthcare failures of the Buhari-led administration, under which Adesina himself served. He stressed that such remarks are an affront to every Nigerian and called on citizens to hold political leaders accountable for the country’s poor healthcare development. “It is extremely offensive for politicians and their appointees to belittle the Nigerian healthcare system in this manner,” said Tamunokuro. “There are countless Nigerians who have relied on this same healthcare system for all kinds of medical treatments, ranging from routine care to advanced specialist procedures, and they have lived lives even longer than the late president.” According to Tamunokuro, by making such a statement, Adesina indirectly admitted that the administration he served was a total failure, especially concerning the healthcare sector. He urged Nigerians to demand clarity from politicians on whether they genuinely intend to serve the nation’s interests or are simply focused on enriching themselves. He added, “Politicians must be confronted by Nigerians to reveal their true intentions regarding healthcare improvement in this country.” Tamunokuro also acknowledged the ongoing sacrifices made by Nigerian doctors and healthcare professionals who continue to work under challenging conditions to improve the nation’s healthcare delivery. He pointed out that despite systemic challenges, Nigeria’s healthcare landscape is gradually expanding, with a growing scope of services and improved quality of care. He emphasized the need for government intervention to create an enabling environment that fosters further improvements in healthcare. “Rather than continuously traveling abroad for medical treatment, our leaders should invest public funds into building and upgrading our healthcare infrastructure,” he said. “With adequate investment, the quality of healthcare available to Nigerians would undoubtedly improve.” Tamunokuro concluded by urging citizens to engage politicians on their healthcare agendas and demand accountability for the state of the nation’s health services. The late President Muhammadu Buhari passed away on Sunday, July 13, 2025, at the age of 82, in a private clinic in London after battling a long-term illness. The specific cause of his death remains undisclosed. His burial took place in his hometown of Daura, Katsina State, on Tuesday, July 15, 2025.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has downplayed the political impact of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s exit from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), affirming that his departure poses no risk to the APC’s political strength ahead of the 2027 general elections. This statement was conveyed by Seye Oladejo, the Lagos State APC Publicity Secretary, via a press release on Wednesday. He emphasized that even if Atiku shifts allegiance to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), it would not alter the political dynamics in Nigeria ahead of the 2027 polls. As LMSINT MEDIA earlier reported, Atiku officially tendered his resignation from the PDP on Wednesday, citing irreconcilable internal crises within the party. Atiku’s discontent with the PDP has been evident, especially in the wake of the party’s chaotic post-election handling and its ongoing failure to mount an effective opposition against the ruling government. Notably, Atiku’s coalition had recently identified the ADC as its preferred political platform for the 2027 elections, signaling deeper alignment with the party as he prepares for the next electoral contest. Responding to this development, Seye Oladejo characterized Atiku’s move as a predictable and desperate attempt by a disjointed opposition figure to remain politically relevant. He noted that the PDP’s internal dysfunction is further exposed by Atiku’s exit and emphasized the former Vice President’s pattern of political inconsistency. Oladejo remarked, “Atiku’s frequent party-hopping demonstrates an ambition devoid of clear ideology. His political pursuits seem motivated by personal aspirations rather than national interest or principle.” He further asserted that regardless of whether Atiku affiliates with the PDP, ADC, or any other political platform, Nigerians have become increasingly politically enlightened and are unlikely to be influenced by mere political maneuvers. Oladejo concluded by reaffirming that the APC remains Nigeria’s foremost party, actively delivering tangible governance, economic advancements, and robust infrastructure projects across the nation.

Peter Obi Cites Lack of Flight Access, Recalls Buhari’s Words on Poverty Alleviation Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has clarified the reason for his non-attendance at the funeral of Nigeria’s former President, Muhammadu Buhari. Obi explained that his inability to participate in the burial held in Daura was due to stringent flight restrictions that made the journey impossible. Obi shared these remarks while addressing the media on Wednesday during his condolence visit to the late president’s family, a day after the burial. He noted that despite his desire to be present, there were no available flights to facilitate his trip on Tuesday, the day Buhari was laid to rest. “Traveling here yesterday was practically impossible. There were absolutely no flights available,” Obi stated. He further elaborated that even private flights were not an option since Katsina Airport had been closed to regular traffic to prioritize the arrival of prominent dignitaries who came to pay their last respects. “Even if flights were available, landing at Katsina Airport was not permitted. The airspace was restricted due to the volume of dignitaries attending the burial,” he explained. Nonetheless, Obi emphasized that showing respect to the deceased isn’t confined to the actual burial day. He reminded Nigerians that traditional mourning periods extend beyond the day of interment, validating his visit even after the burial. “Traditionally, mourning extends over several days. Visiting today or tomorrow still honors the memory of the deceased,” he affirmed. Reflecting on his personal encounters with the late Buhari, Obi reminisced about their meeting during his presidential campaign. During that encounter, Buhari urged him to prioritize policies that uplift Nigeria’s impoverished citizens. “When I met him during my campaign, he gave me one heartfelt piece of advice: ‘Always care for poor Nigerians.’ That message remains with me,” Obi recalled. “In his own capacity, I believe he sincerely tried to address poverty. His concern for the poor was evident, and I remember his earnest plea in that regard.” Addressing the former president’s passing, Obi observed that Buhari’s death symbolizes the ephemerality of power and human life. He encouraged Nigerians, especially public officials, to serve the nation with humility, bearing in mind the inevitability of mortality. “His passing is a powerful reminder that power is fleeting. We must all serve our nation faithfully because one day, we will answer the ultimate call from our Creator,” he stated. Muhammadu Buhari, who died in London on Sunday, was given a befitting burial with full military honors in his Daura hometown on Tuesday. The solemn ceremony drew attendance from Nigeria’s top political leaders, international dignitaries, and revered traditional rulers.

Nigeria’s former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has officially withdrawn his membership from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), attributing his decision to unresolved conflicts within the party and a clear deviation from the principles upon which the PDP was originally founded. In a resignation letter dated July 14, 2025, and addressed to the Chairman of PDP Jada 1 Ward in Adamawa State, Atiku declared his immediate exit from the party. “This letter serves as my formal resignation from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) effective immediately,” Atiku stated. Having held the office of Nigeria’s Vice President between 1999 and 2007, Atiku expressed his heartfelt appreciation to the PDP for the significant roles he played under its banner, including his two presidential bids. “Being Nigeria’s Vice President for two terms and contesting as a presidential candidate on two occasions under the PDP platform remains a pivotal part of my personal and political journey,” he wrote. “As a founding member of this respected party, making this decision weighs heavily on me.” Atiku emphasized that his resignation was necessitated by the PDP’s ongoing shift away from its original ideals and principles. “The party’s current path no longer aligns with the foundational beliefs we once shared, prompting my decision to sever ties,” he noted. “It is with deep regret that I tender my resignation, having acknowledged the insurmountable differences that now exist.” Despite his departure, Atiku extended his goodwill to the PDP and its leadership, wishing them success in their future pursuits while expressing gratitude for the years of support and collaboration. “I sincerely wish the party and its leadership prosperity moving forward. Thank you for the support and opportunities afforded to me over the years,” he concluded. The resignation letter was formally acknowledged and received by Hammardama Abubakar on July 14, 2025, marking the end of Atiku’s long-standing association with the party.

Abubakar Malami, the former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, has strongly defended the tenure of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, asserting that corruption did not flourish during his administration. Speaking during an appearance on Arise TV on Tuesday night, Malami emphasized that the Buhari-led government was unwavering in its fight against corruption. He maintained that the administration remained steadfast in its anti-corruption stance, leading to numerous convictions, especially in cases involving high-profile individuals. In Malami’s words: “During the period of President Muhammadu Buhari, corruption was not thriving at all. If you talk of convictions associated with high-profile corruption cases, the government recorded convictions in thousands.” Highlighting the administration’s achievements, Malami disclosed that the government successfully recovered approximately $2 billion in looted funds within Buhari’s time in office. He further emphasized the significant policy reforms introduced under Buhari, particularly the Single Treasury Account (STA) initiative. According to Malami, the STA helped establish comprehensive transparency and accountability across the financial operations of the government. “He brought about the Single Treasury Account, which created a governance-wide visibility associated with funding the finances of the government,” Malami affirmed. Malami’s remarks reflect a consistent defense of Buhari’s anti-corruption legacy, especially amidst widespread debates over the true extent of corruption during his administration.

The burial of Nigeria’s former President Muhammadu Buhari took place in Daura, Katsina State, marking the end of an era in Nigerian politics. The ceremony, witnessed by national and international dignitaries, signified not just a personal loss for many but also a political vacuum within the All Progressives Congress (APC). Buhari’s dual legacy as both military Head of State and later a democratically elected president under the APC is now a historical chapter. While tributes continue to pour in, the APC, under President Bola Tinubu, faces the daunting task of navigating the 2027 general elections without Buhari’s significant political influence. Simultaneously, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is positioning itself as a formidable force through a coalition led by notable figures including Atiku Abubakar, Rotimi Amaechi, Nasir El-Rufai, and Peter Obi. This opposition coalition is determined to dethrone Tinubu’s presidency in 2027. Historically, Buhari contested five presidential elections between 2003 and 2019, losing thrice before clinching victories in 2015 and 2019. In each contest, he consistently amassed approximately 12 million votes, a testament to his entrenched support base. Political analysts predict that Buhari’s absence will erode the APC’s dominance, given that he served as the party’s political anchor. Wahab Owokoniran, an APC chieftain and Pro-Chancellor of the Federal University of Transportation in Daura, acknowledged this imminent challenge. However, he expressed confidence in Tinubu’s strategic prowess, citing his nearly four decades of political bridge-building across Nigeria. During a Channels Television broadcast covering Buhari’s burial, Owokoniran remarked that although the APC might experience some losses, it would also gain new alliances, thereby maintaining its electoral strength. He emphasized that while Buhari’s political shoes are enormous to fill, nature abhors a vacuum, hinting that another influential northern leader could emerge to fill the gap. Supporting this perspective, Salihu Lukman, a member of the ADC coalition and former APC stalwart, stressed the need for northern politicians to adopt humility and direct engagement with citizens. Speaking on Channels Television’s “Politics Today,” Lukman pointed out that Buhari’s popularity, especially in the north, was pivotal in forming the APC merger and securing electoral victories. He criticized the complacency of politicians who relied solely on Buhari’s endorsements instead of genuine voter engagement. Public Affairs Analyst Nduka Odo from Peaceland University, Enugu, highlighted the potential downfall of the APC with key figures like Atiku, Amaechi, and El-Rufai now in the ADC. Odo contended that the APC’s internal fractures, exacerbated by past betrayals and unresolved grievances, have weakened the party’s cohesion. Odo noted that Buhari’s alliance with Tinubu, which brought together CPC, ACN, and factions of the newPDP to form APC, is now a shadow of its former self. The CPC and newPDP contingents have largely migrated to the ADC, leaving Tinubu to rely on his ACN roots. Odo warned that sustaining the legacy of Buhari’s political followership posthumously is fraught with challenges, notably the economic hardships Buhari’s administration inflicted on millions of Nigerians. The disenchantment among Buharists, worsened by Tinubu’s policies, threatens APC’s future electoral prospects. Additionally, Odo pointed to the jostling among northern political elites like El-Rufai and Atiku to become the region’s new political torchbearers. Complicating matters further, speculations abound that Vice President Shettima is being marginalized within the presidency, with rumors suggesting Tinubu might replace him ahead of the 2027 elections. The discord was evident during the APC North East convention, where Shettima’s sidelining was fiercely opposed. Moreover, Odo disputed the notion that Buhari’s consistent 12 million votes were solely his doing, attributing his victories to strategic alliances rather than personal popularity alone. The controversy deepened when Bayo Onanuga released a video crediting Tinubu and the ACN for Buhari’s presidential success, coinciding with Buhari’s burial day, sparking further debates about APC’s internal dynamics. In conclusion, the APC’s path to the 2027 elections is riddled with uncertainties. Unless deftly managed, Buhari’s demise could significantly diminish the party’s influence, creating an opening for the ADC coalition to capitalize on. READ ALSO:

Governor Dikko Umaru Radda of Katsina State has shared a significant conversation he once had with the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, reflecting on Nigeria’s challenging fuel subsidy policy and its removal under the current administration led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Governor Radda recounted that during a private discussion with Buhari, the former leader openly expressed sympathy for Tinubu, describing him as “brave” for daring to eliminate the longstanding fuel subsidy. Buhari reportedly told Radda that he pitied President Tinubu for boldly taking such a politically risky step, a move he personally found difficult to implement while in office. Buhari’s Words on Tinubu’s Bold Decision Speaking to a group of journalists during the funeral events in Daura, the governor narrated the exact words Buhari used: “Let me use his words: ‘I pity Bola (President Tinubu) for what he is doing. He is a brave man for removing the fuel subsidy.When I was president, whenever I made an attempt to remove the subsidy, a lot of people would give me too many reasons not to do so.But Bola did it immediately. If he had consulted people, he could not have removed the fuel subsidy now.’” This statement highlights the deeply entrenched challenges and political sensitivities surrounding the removal of the fuel subsidy in Nigeria, a policy that has long drained the country’s financial resources yet remained a volatile issue among the populace. Buhari’s Passing Leaves a Leadership Vacuum Governor Radda also lamented that Buhari’s death has left a significant vacuum in Nigerian leadership, particularly within the northern political landscape and the All Progressives Congress (APC). The late president, who passed away on Sunday in a London medical facility at the age of 82, was laid to rest on Tuesday in his hometown of Daura, Katsina State, amidst full military honours. His burial was attended by top political figures, dignitaries, and leaders from across Nigeria who came to pay their last respects. Buhari’s influence in shaping Nigeria’s political discourse, especially on national economic policies like fuel subsidy and governance reforms, remains undeniable. The Impact of Fuel Subsidy Removal on Nigeria’s Economy President Tinubu’s removal of the fuel subsidy has stirred both commendations and criticisms nationwide. While some experts and international observers, such as the World Bank, have applauded the policy as necessary for economic recovery and fiscal balance (World Bank Analysis), many Nigerians continue to face the harsh economic realities that followed the decision. The subsidy removal is projected to save Nigeria billions of dollars annually, funds which the government claims will be redirected towards infrastructure, health, and education. However, the immediate effects have seen a sharp rise in fuel prices, inflation, and general cost of living, making life more difficult for many ordinary citizens. Conclusion Governor Radda’s revelation of his conversation with Buhari adds a new perspective to the ongoing national debate on the fuel subsidy issue. It underscores both the political courage and the heavy burden President Tinubu carries in implementing deeply unpopular but economically essential policies. As Nigeria navigates these turbulent economic reforms, the nation watches closely how Tinubu’s administration manages the socio-economic consequences, striving to balance fiscal sustainability with public welfare.
