The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has issued a strong reaction to recent comments made by Senator Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto South. In his response, Wike made it clear that he will not ignore the disparaging remarks directed at him and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during Tambuwal’s interview. According to Wike, Tambuwal’s statements will not be left unanswered. He emphasized that he intends to give Nigerians clarity about the true meaning of betrayal and integrity, and assured the public that his official response will come at the appropriate time. Tambuwal, a former governor of Sokoto State and current Senator, had stirred controversy on Friday after declaring in an interview that he would choose former Vice President Atiku Abubakar over Tinubu to lead Nigeria in 2027. He further added that his preference would also be Atiku ahead of Wike when considering leadership choices for the future. Reacting to these remarks, Wike, through a statement released by his media aide, Lere Olayinka, said he had been overwhelmed by calls from journalists requesting his reaction. The statement stressed that beyond the criticism directed at him, Tambuwal also cast a shadow on President Tinubu’s leadership, a move Wike described as unacceptable. Part of the statement reads: “I have been inundated with calls, particularly from journalists, who wanted to know the Minister’s position on Tambuwal’s remarks. Apart from the attacks directed at the Minister, Tambuwal also attempted to discredit President Tinubu. Such an action cannot go without a response. Therefore, Nigerians should be assured that the Minister will react in full. At the right time, he will explain to the nation what betrayal truly represents and the essence of integrity in leadership. Until then, let us remain patient and keep our fingers crossed.” This development adds another layer to the already tense political atmosphere as the 2027 elections slowly build momentum. Political observers are closely watching how this exchange between Wike and Tambuwal could reshape alliances within the ruling and opposition camps. For now, Wike has kept Nigerians waiting, promising a comprehensive response that may expose deeper issues of loyalty and trust within the country’s political circle.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God (Romans 8:14). Ecclesiastes 3:11 tells us something remarkable; it says, “He hath made everything beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart….” The New International Version renders it beautifully. It says, “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart….” Blessed thought! The world is in your heart. Eternity is in your heart. Therefore, live from within. This should help you understand the words of the Lord Jesus in Matthew 12:35, “A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things….” Everything is in your heart. Think about this: not only is the world and eternity in your heart, but the One who created the world and created eternity is also in your heart: 1 Corinthians 3:16, “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” The Spirit of God lives in you. This is why, in Christianity, we live from within. The Christian life is lived from the inside out. The Spirit of God leads, guides, and empowers you from within. Paul, by the Spirit, said in 2 Corinthians 4:7, “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels….” Then the 16th verse says, “For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.” The forces of life are in your heart, in your inward man. That’s why the Bible says, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life” (Proverbs 4:23). If you train your heart, your spirit, to listen to God’s voice, you’ll always know what to do, where to go, and how to respond to the issues and circumstances of life. You’ll always walk in victory. No wonder He says, “My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways” (Proverbs 23:26). Living from your spirit also means speaking from your spirit, declaring God’s Word in faith. That’s how you rule in life. The world may rely on intellect, emotion, or impulse, but you’re led by the Spirit from within and guided by His Word that dwells in you richly. Practice this even today; pray in tongues. Meditate on the Word. Learn to pause and check within before making decisions. As you do, you’ll find that your thoughts, words and actions are in sync with God’s perfect will for your life. CONFESSIONWith my spirit, I’ve encircled and taken possession of all things; I possess the blessings of Abraham. Life, immortality and eternity are in my spirit. I live from within, guided by divine wisdom and empowered for a life of success and impact as the Spirit of God guides me into all truth and causes me to walk in victory today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDYEcclesiastes 3:11 AMPCHe has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy], yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. John 16:13 KJVHowbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 1 John 2:27 KJVBut the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle, has shared his perspective on the absence of Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen ahead of Nigeria’s highly anticipated 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against South Africa. Osimhen, who plays as a striker, will not feature in the clash with Bafana Bafana on Tuesday after picking up an injury during the match against Rwanda. His unavailability has stirred conversations among fans and analysts, but the coach remains confident in the depth of his squad. Speaking during his pre-match press conference, Chelle acknowledged that the team is mindful of the Napoli forward’s absence but emphasized that the squad remains strong and ready. “Victor Osimhen is undoubtedly a top star and an outstanding talent. However, I have a group of excellent players at my disposal, and they are fully capable of delivering results,” Chelle stated. The head coach added that while the team shares concern and solidarity with their injured teammate, their focus remains on the task ahead. “We always think about Osimhen because he is like a brother to us, but our responsibility is to stay united and perform well against South Africa. There is no time for regrets or distractions,” he explained. Chelle further highlighted that the Super Eagles are determined to put up a strong performance, noting that unity and focus are key to their success in the World Cup qualifying campaign. As Nigeria faces South Africa, the coach reassured fans that the absence of a star player would not derail their determination. According to Chelle, the squad is motivated, ready, and eager to give their best on the pitch.

Human rights advocate, Inibehe Effiong, has officially petitioned Meta Platforms Inc., cautioning the tech giant against granting a controversial request from Nigeria’s Department of State Services (DSS). The DSS had demanded the deactivation of activist Omoyele Sowore’s Facebook account, a move Effiong described as unlawful, unconstitutional, and a blatant assault on the right to free speech in Nigeria. In the letter addressed to Meta on Monday, Effiong strongly argued that the DSS request amounts to censorship, stressing that it undermines democratic values and freedom of expression. He further highlighted that the DSS petition to both Meta and X (formerly Twitter) to deactivate Sowore’s social media accounts was based on irrelevant legal references and lacked any genuine foundation. According to the DSS, Sowore was accused of sharing ‘unsavoury’ content that allegedly maligned the character of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. However, Effiong countered this claim, emphasizing that Sowore’s publications in no way violated Meta’s Community Standards. “We urge Meta to recognize the DSS demand for what it truly represents: a calculated attempt to shield the Nigerian President from criticism, legally baseless maneuvers aimed at undermining democracy, and a dangerous step toward authoritarian rule,” Effiong stated. The lawyer insisted that the DSS appeared to be holding brief unlawfully for the Nigerian President, noting that Tinubu himself has not filed any personal lawsuit against Sowore. Effiong stressed that if the President feels wronged by any publication, the appropriate step is to approach the courts rather than deploy state security agencies to harass or silence dissenting citizens. Effiong further appealed to Meta not to bow to what he described as a deliberate ploy to suppress dissenting voices in Nigeria. He warned that granting the DSS demand would create a disturbing precedent, paving the way for more government-driven clampdowns on civil liberties, digital freedom, and freedom of speech in the country. This petition has intensified public debate about government interference in media spaces, censorship of opposition voices, and the rising concerns about Nigeria’s democratic future.

Former Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye, has strongly criticized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over what he described as an alarming rate of borrowing by the current administration. According to Melaye, if the present borrowing trend continues unchecked, Tinubu may soon have no choice but to seek financial assistance from Nigeria’s top fintech platforms such as Opay and Moniepoint. His reaction came after the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, openly expressed worry about the mounting foreign debts being accumulated under Tinubu’s government. Melaye’s remarks on Arise Television Speaking during an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time program on Monday night, Melaye questioned: “Why is the president borrowing $1.7 billion from the World Bank? Why has the Senate already approved $21 billion with several other loans awaiting approval?” The former lawmaker condemned the borrowing spree, labeling Tinubu’s administration as one of the most reckless governments in Nigeria’s history. Luxury acquisitions despite economic hardship Melaye further criticized Tinubu for making lavish purchases while Nigerians are facing economic challenges. He highlighted that the president, who had earlier promised to eliminate government waste, purchased a yacht that has never been seen in Nigeria’s territorial waters but instead is reportedly stationed between Monaco and Paris. He questioned the rationale behind such extravagant spending during a period of widespread hunger and hardship. Melaye also pointed out that Tinubu acquired a new presidential jet, costing the nation billions of naira, only a few months after assuming office. Dispute over “gift” claims Addressing claims that the new presidential aircraft was a gift, Melaye dismissed such arguments. He maintained that the purchase was never appropriated by the National Assembly, which is why it was conveniently labeled a “gift.” He said: “If it was truly a gift, then who gave it? Gifts must be declared. Remember Tom David West was removed from office for failing to declare a gold wristwatch. If you receive a gift, you must declare the source.” A history of modest official vehicles Melaye compared Tinubu’s spending habits to previous Nigerian leaders. He recalled that since the era of Tafawa Balewa, Nnamdi Azikiwe, and even Muhammadu Buhari, every president or prime minister used the Mercedes Benz S-Class as the official car. He criticized Tinubu’s choice of a luxury German-made Mercedes Benz, the same model once used by Donald Trump in the United States, arguing that it contradicts his promise of curbing wastage. National Assembly budget hike Melaye also exposed how the National Assembly’s budget was increased significantly under Tinubu’s leadership. He revealed that during the 8th Senate, the budget stood at ₦150 billion, but today it has risen to over ₦300 billion, making the legislature appear more like a department directly controlled by the presidency. Borrowing without accountability According to Melaye, these lavish expenses and increased borrowing contradict Tinubu’s campaign message of “renewed hope.” He questioned why the government continues to borrow heavily even while generating more revenue. He noted that even the Speaker of the House of Representatives, who belongs to the ruling APC, has raised concerns about this pattern of reckless borrowing. Melaye concluded with a scathing remark: “We will not be surprised if President Tinubu soon turns to fintech companies like Opay and Moniepoint for loans.”

Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, on Monday paid a solidarity visit to former Sokoto State governor, Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, at his Abuja residence. According to LMSINT MEDIA, the visit came shortly after Tambuwal regained his freedom from the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), where he had been held over allegations linked to financial misconduct during his administration in Sokoto State. Tambuwal, who is a prominent figure in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and also a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, faced intense scrutiny during his detention. The EFCC interrogated him over alleged irregularities in the management of state resources, sparking heated debate across Nigeria’s political landscape. The arrest stirred nationwide reactions, especially among opposition voices. Members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and other political actors argued that the action appeared politically orchestrated, given Tambuwal’s relevance in Nigeria’s opposition politics and his loyalty to the PDP. Many described the EFCC’s move as a tactic aimed at weakening opposition strongholds. Atiku, however, showed public support for his political ally. In a post shared via his verified X (formerly Twitter) account, the former Vice President expressed deep satisfaction at Tambuwal’s resilience. His statement read: “I visited Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal at his residence in Abuja earlier today. I am happy seeing him in good, unbroken, and unwavering spirit.” This show of solidarity has been interpreted as both a personal reassurance and a strategic political move, considering Atiku’s position as a leading figure within the PDP. His visit reaffirms internal unity among party leaders amid mounting political battles in Nigeria. The resilience of Tambuwal, described as “unbroken” by Atiku, has been praised by party loyalists and political observers. His ability to maintain composure during EFCC’s interrogation is seen as a demonstration of courage and determination, qualities that continue to define his political journey. This episode adds to the ongoing debate over the impartiality of anti-graft agencies in Nigeria. While the EFCC is constitutionally mandated to fight corruption, critics argue that its actions often appear politically selective, especially when opposition figures are involved. According to a report by Transparency International, Nigeria continues to struggle with perceptions of political bias in anti-corruption enforcement. As political activities heighten ahead of future elections, Tambuwal’s ordeal and Atiku’s public show of support highlight the strong undercurrents shaping Nigeria’s political terrain.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, has raised serious concerns about Nigeria’s escalating debt crisis, stressing that the nation’s rising debt profile has now exceeded the legal borrowing threshold and poses a severe risk to fiscal sustainability. Speaking in Abuja on Monday during the opening session of the 11th Annual Conference and General Assembly of the West Africa Association of Public Accounts Committees (WAAPAC), Abbas highlighted the need for urgent intervention to prevent further economic strain. According to him, Nigeria’s total public debt skyrocketed to N149.39 trillion (approximately US$97 billion) in the first quarter of 2025, compared to N121.7 trillion recorded in the previous year. This represents a sharp and worrying increase that reflects how fast the country’s financial burden is mounting. Even more alarming is Nigeria’s debt-to-GDP ratio, which climbed to 52 percent in early 2025, far above the statutory ceiling of 40 percent as enshrined in law. Abbas emphasized that this breach signals growing instability in the nation’s finances and threatens sustainable economic growth. “By the first quarter of 2025, Nigeria’s total public debt had surged to N149.39 trillion, which is equivalent to US$97 billion. This rapid increase from N121.7 trillion in the previous year demonstrates how heavy the financial strain has become. The debt-to-GDP ratio now stands at 52 percent, far beyond the 40 percent limit set by law,” Abbas stated. The Speaker insisted that Nigeria must strengthen oversight, transparency, and accountability in borrowing practices, stressing that loans should only be obtained for projects that provide direct economic and social benefits. He warned that reckless borrowing driven by consumption, corruption, or mismanagement will deepen poverty and undermine development. Abbas pointed out that many African countries already spend more on debt servicing than on healthcare, education, and other essential services. He urged Nigeria to avoid falling into the same cycle, where debt repayments crowd out investments in critical sectors. New Debt Oversight Framework To address this mounting challenge, Abbas unveiled plans to establish a West African Parliamentary Debt Oversight Framework under WAAPAC. This initiative aims to: Additionally, he disclosed plans for a regional capacity-building programme designed to improve debt sustainability analysis and fiscal risk assessment across West Africa. Borrowing for Development, Not Consumption Abbas stressed that loans must be directed toward productive sectors such as infrastructure, healthcare, education, and industries that create jobs and reduce poverty. According to him, debt used to fund consumption or lost to corruption cannot be justified. He further assured Nigerians that the 10th House of Representatives is committed to ensuring transparency through its Open Parliament policy, under which all major borrowing proposals will undergo public hearings. Simplified debt reports will also be made available to the public to promote accountability and citizen participation in monitoring financial decisions.

The Department of State Services (DSS) has reportedly issued a one-week deadline to Nigerian activist and publisher, Omoyele Sowore, demanding that he delete what the security agency described as a “false, malicious, and inciting” social media post targeted at President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. According to a formal letter from the DSS dated September 7, Sowore is accused of making criminal and derogatory remarks against the President in a post shared on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on August 26. The security agency stressed that failure to remove the controversial post within the given timeframe would leave it with no option but to take all lawful actions necessary to safeguard national security and preserve public order across Nigeria. LMSINT MEDIA recalls that Sowore, who is widely known as the former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) and a long-time pro-democracy campaigner, had openly described President Tinubu as a “criminal” in his online statement. The activist and publisher of Sahara Reporters also accused the Nigerian leader of deceiving the public, claiming that Tinubu’s statement about the absence of corruption under his administration was untrue. Reacting officially, the DSS through its Director of Legal Services, Uwem Davies, strongly condemned the remarks, insisting that Sowore’s words had generated public outrage and carried the potential to trigger disunity, unrest, and even a nationwide insurrection if left unchecked. This development adds to the ongoing tension between the Nigerian government and opposition voices who consistently challenge the administration’s credibility and policies.

In the early hours of Sunday morning, heavily armed bandits invaded Wake village in Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State, killing at least eight residents and abducting an unspecified number of people. Eyewitness accounts reveal that the armed men carried out the raid with brutal efficiency, leaving the once-peaceful community in a state of fear, grief, and devastation. Reports confirm that more than 20 victims sustained severe injuries, many of whom are currently battling for their lives in nearby hospitals. A reliable community source informed LMSINT Media that the attackers stormed the area in large numbers, unleashing violence on innocent residents. According to the source, “The bandits arrived unchallenged and committed atrocities that led to the death of several people, the abduction of others, and the wounding of many more. The atmosphere here is tense, and people are living in fear.” Those who lost their lives have already been laid to rest, while families of the abducted remain uncertain of their loved ones’ whereabouts. The injured victims, many of whom sustained critical gunshot wounds, are receiving urgent medical attention. Community members have called on both the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Kaduna State Government to urgently deploy security forces in order to prevent further assaults in the region. The plea highlights the increasing insecurity challenges affecting not only Kaduna but several northern states in recent times. As of the time of reporting, attempts to reach the Kaduna State Police Command spokesperson, DSP Mansir Hassan, for an official comment on the incident were unsuccessful. The attack on Wake village underscores the ongoing security crisis in Southern Kaduna, where rural communities remain vulnerable to armed banditry, mass kidnappings, and violent crimes. Residents continue to live in fear, hoping for a swift intervention to restore peace and security.
