President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is scheduled to visit Jos, the capital city of Plateau State, on Saturday to attend the burial ceremony of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Chairman’s late mother. According to an official statement issued in Abuja on Friday by Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, the visit underscores President Tinubu’s deep sense of respect and solidarity with party leaders and their families during moments of grief. The President’s trip to Plateau reflects his continuous commitment to strengthening the unity within the ruling APC and showing compassion to those who have contributed immensely to the party’s success and the nation’s progress. Tinubu’s planned presence at the burial is expected to attract several top government officials, APC stakeholders, governors, and dignitaries from across the country. Sources close to the Presidential Villa revealed that the President will also seize the opportunity to engage in brief discussions about political and developmental matters affecting Plateau and other northern states. The burial ceremony, which will be held in Jos, is anticipated to draw a large crowd of mourners, reflecting the deceased’s positive impact within her community and the APC family. Security measures have been intensified in preparation for the President’s visit, ensuring a smooth and peaceful event. This visit also serves as a reminder of President Tinubu’s longstanding relationship with Plateau and its political figures, emphasizing his administration’s dedication to inclusivity, empathy, and national unity
Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, has firmly denied any involvement in the emerging coalition of opposition leaders allegedly spearheaded by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. In an official statement released by Alhaji Mamman Mohammed, Director-General of Press and Media Affairs, on Saturday in Damaturu, Buni emphasized his unwavering loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC). According to a report by LMSINT MEDIA, rumors circulated through a viral text message suggesting that Buni, along with four other APC governors, had finalized plans to defect to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2027 general elections. However, Mohammed categorically dismissed these claims, labeling them as baseless fabrications and mere assumptions that have no basis in reality.He criticized the author of the viral text for having no credible connection to Governor Buni, arguing that no individual close to the governor could ever accurately predict his political trajectory. “Governor Mai Mala Buni is not just an APC governor; he embodies the spirit of the APC,” Mohammed stressed.He highlighted Buni’s exceptional contributions to the party, noting his pivotal roles as a two-term National Secretary and as the Chairman of the APC Convention Committee. These achievements, Mohammed argued, make any speculation about Buni abandoning the APC not just unlikely but entirely illogical. The statement concluded by suggesting that the perpetrators of the rumors might be admirers of Buni’s political strategies who merely wish to see him aligned with their interests — describing such hopes as mere wishful thinking.
