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
Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has firmly dismissed persistent claims that he sought a third term in office, declaring that no citizen can provide evidence to back such allegations. Obasanjo made this statement on Wednesday during the Democracy Dialogue organized by the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation in Accra, Ghana. The former president emphasized his stance clearly: “I think I’m not a fool. If I wanted it, some people believed I wanted it, I know the steps to take. But there is no Nigerian, whether living or dead, that can say I personally approached him or her to say I wanted a third term. None.” He further explained that if he could secure Nigeria’s debt relief during his administration—an achievement he described as far more complex than extending a presidential term—then obtaining a third term would not have been impossible if he had truly pursued it. Obasanjo noted: “I always remind them that achieving debt relief was much tougher than extending tenure. If I had wanted a third term badly, I would have gotten it.” On Leadership and Power Addiction The former president also issued a strong caution to political leaders who assume they are indispensable. He described such a mindset as “a sin against God.” According to him, effective leadership emerges from individuals who are young, vibrant, and dynamic, not from those who cling to power despite declining capacity. He stated: “The best leadership is delivered when you are young, idealistic, vibrant, and dynamic. Once you become tired and weak, you cannot give your best. Unfortunately, some believe nobody else can lead in their absence. They even claim there is no capable successor. But this is a sin against God because if God decides to take you away today, another person will surely step in—and that person may do better or worse, but leadership will continue.” Obasanjo’s remarks highlight both his rejection of the third-term narrative and his call for generational renewal in leadership, reinforcing the importance of succession planning and democratic responsibility in Nigeria and across Africa.

Former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has clarified his relationship with his successor, Governor Uba Sani, stating that the current Kaduna leader is not his personal friend but rather his mentee. El-Rufai made this statement on Sunday during an interview on Politics Today, a popular political programme on Channels Television. He emphasized that contrary to speculations, there is no rift between him and Governor Sani, but that he reserves the right to provide constructive criticism when necessary. The former governor explained that the role of government is to serve the people and advance the nation, noting that loyalty should not prevent one from speaking out when things go wrong. In his words: “The purpose of government is to deliver results for the progress of the citizens and the country. Even if my son or father is president or governor, if I believe he is not doing the right thing, I have the right to voice my disagreement or criticism.” El-Rufai further highlighted that Uba Sani is among the many individuals he has mentored over the years, stressing that one of his biggest life achievements is raising, guiding, and elevating people to positions of leadership and influence. He added: “Yes, Uba Sani is one of my mentees. I have developed and mentored many people. My greatest pride in life is that I have supported and encouraged individuals to achieve greatness, sometimes even beyond me. I am extremely proud of that. However, if a person I mentored begins to derail or takes actions that are not right, I cannot be stopped from speaking or expressing my disagreement, regardless of my role in supporting their rise.” El-Rufai’s comments come amid speculations about disagreements with the present administration in Kaduna, but he insists that his input is constructive and should be seen as guidance rather than opposition.

Former Senator Laments Rising Starvation and Daily Hardship in Nigeria Dino Melaye, a former senator who represented the Kogi West Senatorial District, has raised an alarm over the increasing level of hunger and hardship facing Nigerians, warning that the economic situation continues to deteriorate at an alarming rate. During an appearance on the political talk show Politics Today, which aired on Channels Television this past Friday, Melaye expressed his deep concern regarding the worsening living conditions across the country. Speaking passionately during the broadcast, Melaye emphasized that hunger in Nigeria is no longer just a statistic but a brutal daily reality for millions of citizens. “We are in a dire and dangerous situation as a nation,” he stated. “What Nigerians are currently experiencing is unprecedented. It has never reached this critical level before. We have never faced a crisis of this scale in the past.” The ex-lawmaker went further to describe the situation as “charted hunger,” referencing how widespread and severe the food scarcity has become. He lamented that malnutrition is now claiming lives in rural communities, where access to basic nutrition has become a luxury. “People are now combing through refuse dumps and garbage centres just to find scraps of food,” Melaye revealed, describing the harsh conditions under which some Nigerians are living. According to him, Nigerians have never faced such deep economic suffering, even in times of past national distress. He blamed the worsening crisis on the current administration under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, claiming the government has failed to provide direction or offer relief to suffering citizens. Melaye strongly criticized the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government, arguing that its policies are leading the country in the wrong direction and pushing people further into poverty and despair. “The government is completely off track,” he concluded. “There is no sense of rescue or national direction from those in charge.”

Renowned Nigerian performer and social activist, Charles Oputa, widely recognized as Charly Boy, has shared the background story behind the naming of the iconic Charly Boy Bus Stop in Lagos—an area recently renamed by local authorities. During an interview on “The Morning Brief”, a breakfast show aired by Channels Television, the entertainer recounted how the bus stop located in the Gbagada axis of Lagos was originally named in his honor back in the early 1990s. According to Charly Boy, the naming was a gesture of appreciation from the residents for his consistent contribution to the local community. He explained that the recognition stemmed from the deep connection he had with Gbagada residents during that period. His philanthropic efforts, which impacted people across different sectors of society—including military veterans, commercial motorcyclists, pensioners, and students—led the locals to name the bus stop after him as a token of gratitude. “There was a time I actually lived near that bus stop,” Charly Boy recalled. “During the early 90s, those who were living around Gbagada decided it was appropriate to name the bus stop after me due to the value I added to the community.” He elaborated further: “Many categories of people—okada riders, pensioners, military personnel, and even ordinary citizens—benefited from me in various ways. I gave out scholarships to help young people further their education. I don’t usually like to brag about what I’ve done or haven’t done, but I really did my best for that community when I was still residing there. That’s why they honored me by naming the place ‘Charly Boy Bus Stop.’” In a related development, LMSINT MEDIA notes that the Bariga Local Council Development Area (LCDA) recently made headlines after renaming the legendary Charly Boy Bus Stop in Lagos in favor of indigenous hip-hop star and record executive, Olamide.

Overview: A wave of dissatisfaction is sweeping across Nigeria’s agricultural sector as local farmers voice deep frustration over the federal government’s growing support for food imports—especially rice and maize. This comes after a significant dip in market prices for these staples, largely due to import waivers that have flooded local markets with foreign grains. Farmers Cry Out Over Import Surge Across social media and agricultural forums, many Nigerian farmers have openly criticized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s policy, which they say is undermining local grain cultivation. Using platforms like X (formerly Twitter), they argue that the administration’s decision to approve mass food imports—particularly of rice and maize—is threatening the survival of indigenous agriculture. What’s Causing the Price Drop? The decline in rice and maize prices across Nigeria is no accident. The root cause, according to local producers, is the 150-day import duty waiver introduced by the federal government in July 2024. This policy allowed for the duty-free import of essential staples including rice, maize, and other food items, leading to a surge in foreign alternatives and a drastic drop in prices. According to Nigeria Customs Comptroller-General, Bashir Adeniyi, this policy significantly contributed to price reductions in the first quarter of 2025. Market Realities: Local vs. Foreign Prices A market survey conducted by LMSINT MEDIA revealed the following: This pricing gap makes it almost impossible for local farmers to compete, thereby shrinking their profit margins and pushing many to consider abandoning cultivation altogether. Rising Fertilizer Costs Deepen the Crisis The farmers’ woes don’t stop at imports. Many are also grappling with a sharp rise in fertilizer prices, which has increased the cost of production. This means even with reduced earnings from their harvests, they are paying more to produce. Expert Opinion: Prof. Oyedokun Warns of Policy Fallout Speaking with LMSINT MEDIA, Prof. Godwin Oyedokun of Lead City University, Ibadan, stressed that the growing preference for imports over local production has severe long-term consequences. “Favorable import policies result in market oversupply, driving down prices and severely affecting local farmers who cannot compete,” he explained. Oyedokun emphasized that ignoring these concerns could derail the nation’s food security and economic stability. He recommended a multi-step approach: Solutions for Sustainable Local Agriculture ✅ Incentivize Local Farming The government must provide financial support, credit access, and agricultural technology to encourage local grain production. ✅ Implement Import Tariffs Introducing or increasing tariffs on imported rice and maize could help local producers gain a competitive edge. ✅ Quality Assurance Enforcing strict quality standards on imports would increase consumer confidence in Nigerian-grown grains. ✅ Enhance Market Access Farmers should be given better access to structured markets where they can sell at fair prices. ✅ Farmer Training and Education Equip local farmers with modern farming techniques to boost productivity and reduce dependence on imports. What This Means for Nigeria’s Economy While the policy may offer short-term relief in food prices for consumers, its long-term impact on local agriculture could be devastating. A balanced approach is necessary—one that considers both consumer affordability and the sustainability of domestic food production. Inflation Report: Mixed Signals Despite the dip in general inflation, food-related inflation remains a concern. According to recent data from LMSINT MEDIA in June 2025: This contradiction highlights the instability of food pricing and the urgent need for sound agricultural policies. Conclusion: Farmers Need a Voice in Policy-Making Nigerian farmers are not just resisting change—they are fighting for survival. If the government continues to sideline local producers in favor of foreign imports, the nation could face serious agricultural and economic setbacks. Policymakers must engage directly with stakeholders in the farming community to co-create solutions that ensure both affordability for consumers and profitability for local producers.

In a decisive move aimed at restoring order and discipline in schools, the Yobe State Government has officially banned the popular ‘Marker Day’ celebrations in both public and private schools throughout the state. This directive stems from growing concerns over the erosion of moral values and increased acts of student misconduct linked to the event. The ban was made public through an official statement signed by Dr. Bukar Aji Bukar, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education. He emphasized that while the tradition was initially considered a fun and harmless way for students to commemorate the end of their school journey, it has now devolved into disruptive conduct that threatens public order and contradicts core educational values. “The celebrations have strayed far from acceptable school practices to now pose serious threats to discipline and security within the learning environment,” the statement read. Dr. Bukar instructed all school heads and principals across the state to adhere strictly to the new directive. He cautioned that any institution caught organizing or permitting Marker Day activities would face disciplinary sanctions as outlined by the Ministry. Traditionally, Marker Day occurs at the end of final examinations, where graduating students use colorful markers to write farewell messages and signatures on each other’s uniforms. Although intended as a symbolic gesture of unity and shared memories, the Yobe State government now considers it a breeding ground for social disorder and distractions within the school setting.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu engaged in a crucial meeting on Wednesday night with state governors elected under the All Progressives Congress (APC) umbrella. Sources close to the development suggest the meeting is directly tied to the APC’s forthcoming National Executive Committee (NEC) gathering scheduled for Thursday. During this pivotal session, President Tinubu is anticipated to relay his official stance to the party’s governors concerning internal leadership matters. At the heart of the NEC meeting lies the pressing task of selecting a new National Chairman to replace Abdullahi Ganduje, who vacated the position in June. Following Ganduje’s resignation, the Deputy National Chairman (North), Ali Bukar Dalori, stepped into the role in an interim capacity. While political analysts have speculated that the NEC might formalize Dalori’s position and provide him with a definitive period to organize a formal convention to elect a permanent party leader, alternative viewpoints suggest President Tinubu could nominate a permanent chairman during the same meeting. This decision could shape the direction and stability of the ruling party as it prepares for key political transitions.

Peter Obi, who has declared his ambition to contest the 2027 presidential election and was the Labour Party’s standard-bearer during the 2023 general polls, has confidently asserted that the people of northern Nigeria would celebrate his presidency if elected. Obi, who has become a central figure in the opposition alliance operating under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), made this statement while featuring as a guest on Sunday Politics, a programme aired on Channels Television. During the interview, Obi explained that the northern part of Nigeria is a region blessed with extraordinary untapped resources and possibilities. With 19 states, the North possesses extensive fertile farmlands and wields a powerful voter base. Nonetheless, he observed that these abundant assets have consistently been compromised and overshadowed by the continuing security challenges plaguing the area. Peter Obi elaborated by saying, “We have voted for incompetence, we’ve voted for tribe, and we’ve voted for religion. It is time to vote for competence.” He further emphasized that he wanted northerners to have confidence in him, assuring them that their greatest resources lie within their region, particularly in the vast, underutilized agricultural lands. He also acknowledged the severe criminal activities ravaging the North and pledged to tackle those head-on. Obi reiterated that if he becomes president, he is confident the North would be proud of him and would rejoice over his leadership. According to him, he is well aware of the deep-rooted problems affecting the region and holds a practical vision for addressing them.

As Nigeria moves closer to the 2027 general elections, President Bola Tinubu is encountering rising opposition from factions within his own political circle. Notably, some of the strongest allies of former President Muhammadu Buhari, previously united under the All Progressives Congress (APC) umbrella, are now aligning themselves with opposition movements to scuttle Tinubu’s second-term ambition, according to observations by LMSINT MEDIA. What initially appeared to be hushed disagreements among the APC’s influential power brokers has now grown into open resistance, involving many of Buhari’s most trusted lieutenants. Among the prominent figures are ex-Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai, former Secretary to the Government of the Federation Babachir Lawal, along with other key members of Buhari’s cabinet such as Rotimi Amaechi and Abubakar Malami. These individuals, once considered pillars of the APC, have begun to coalesce around a new opposition alliance, fueling fresh questions about the governing party’s internal cohesion. A former National Chairman of the APC, John Odigie-Oyegun, is also part of the emerging bloc. This new coalition recently adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as its political platform, with the controversial selection of ex-Senate President David Mark as interim national chairman and former Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola as its secretary. Internal cracks within the APC are not exactly novel. Tinubu, who was instrumental in Buhari’s 2015 rise to the presidency, now appears increasingly alienated from the same network he once helped empower. The APC itself was created in 2013 as a merger of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Buhari’s Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), and the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP). Although the coalition was a strategic masterstroke, it was always delicate. Buhari’s 2015 presidential victory — his fourth attempt — largely rode on Tinubu’s political reach in the South-West, alongside powerful alliances with northern heavyweights like El-Rufai and Amaechi. By the 2023 election cycle, the political tide had shifted. Tinubu, describing his presidential aspiration as a “lifelong ambition,” secured the APC nomination despite fierce challenges from within the party ranks. His eventual win came in a general election riddled with controversy, including a chaotic currency redesign, the divisive Muslim-Muslim ticket, and serious concerns over his health and cognitive performance during the campaign. Remarkably, Tinubu lost in the so-called ‘K states’ — Kano, Kaduna, and Katsina — all seen as Buhari’s northern fortresses, yet still won the presidency. Tinubu’s connection with Nasir El-Rufai had always been transactional. After initially being considered for a cabinet appointment under Tinubu’s administration, El-Rufai was later removed based on a security report. Their falling out was rapid and bitter. “Forgive me for bringing this evil Tinubu to power in 2023. It won’t happen again in 2027. The guy is gone,” El-Rufai reportedly told a group of his supporters in May, a remark that went viral on social media and gave a boost to northern opposition elements. El-Rufai, who previously served as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has since decamped to the Social Democratic Party (SDP), where he is said to be coordinating a wider coalition involving elements of the ADC, PDP, SDP, and disenfranchised APC members. While the coalition appears powerful on paper, boasting veterans like Atiku Abubakar, Sule Lamido, David Mark, Aminu Tambuwal, Amaechi, and Babachir Lawal, questions still swirl around its ideological consistency and ability to stay united. Even Dumebi Kachikwu, the ADC’s 2023 presidential candidate, has described the coalition’s maneuver as illegitimate, arguing that they are working with expired party officials. “The coalition is dealing with people whose tenure expired in 2022. We are watching with amusement,” Kachikwu stated. In spite of these headwinds, Tinubu is not seen as a political rookie. Often called the “master strategist” for crafting the APC and capturing Lagos for the opposition in 1999, he has survived numerous political battles. A top Tinubu aide, speaking anonymously, said the president is “unshaken” by the new coalition, and is already working to rebuild alliances. “Remember 2023? They said he wouldn’t survive the Muslim-Muslim backlash. They said he wouldn’t get the APC ticket. He did both. Don’t count him out,” the aide insisted. Tinubu is also reported to be reaching out to traditional northern political power structures to rebuild confidence, especially in states he lost last time. There are even speculations that Tinubu could replace his vice president, Shettima, with Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano State to boost his 2027 chances. With the PDP still fragmented and the APC battling internal mutiny, the 2027 contest could dramatically redefine Nigeria’s political landscape once again. But, at least for now, both sides are adopting a wait-and-see strategy. Meanwhile, some of Buhari’s loyalists, operating under the banner of the Forum of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) within the APC, recently reiterated their support for President Tinubu. During a gathering in Abuja on Thursday, this bloc included dignitaries such as the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dr. Tajudeen Abbas (who was represented), Katsina State Governor Dr. Dikko Radda, Niger State Governor Umar Bago (also represented), Foreign Affairs Minister Maitama Tuggar, former Nasarawa State Governor Senator Tanko Al-Makura, former Katsina Governor and former House Speaker Aminu Bello Masari, and the Chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), retired General Buba Marwa. They emphasized that, although individuals are free to pursue their ambitions, they should not do so under the pretext of being “defunct CPC members.” Addressing the question of whether their bloc would still stand behind Tinubu, Hon. Farouk Adamu expressed confidence that the president would continue as their candidate in 2027. “We are with Tinubu just as we stood with our leader (Buhari), and we strongly believe Tinubu will remain our candidate for 2027,” he declared. The anti-Tinubu coalition, meanwhile, hopes to replicate the 2015 strategy, when a patchwork of opposition parties overthrew an incumbent. But Tinubu, whose political style is famously unpredictable, may still have several tricks up his sleeve. And in Nigerian politics, underestimating a veteran strategist can come with a steep price.

In an official statement released to the press by his media aide, Dauda Iliya, the governor expressed his deep concern over the latest assault targeting innocent civilians. The tragic incident, which unfolded late yesterday around 10 p.m., occurred at a night fish market in Konduga.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said…help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee (2 Chronicles 14:11). There’s a remarkable story of war in the days of Asa, king of Judah. The Bible tells us in 2 Chronicles 14:9 that Zerah the Ethiopian came against Judah with an army of a million men and three hundred chariots. That was an overwhelming force. But Asa didn’t cower in fear; instead, he went out to face them, setting the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah. Then Asa did something inspiring; he cried unto the Lord his God for help! Though vastly outnumbered, he knew he needed a miracle, and his trust was in the Lord. He recognized that numbers meant nothing to God. His confidence was in the Name of the Lord. He said, “…in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee” (2 Chronicles 14:11). What an audacity of faith! Asa understood that life is controlled from the spiritual realm, so, he looked beyond the physical advantage of the enemy and saw the Lord as his help. This is the mindset you must have at all times. No matter the opposition, the power, influence or wickedness of the adversary; greater is He that is in you than Satan and his cohorts put together. They may appear formidable, but they are weak, and you’re strong. Their words are empty, but yours are full of divine authority. The result of Asa’s prayer was extraordinary. The Bible says, “…the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled” (2 Chronicles 14:12). They fled despite their overwhelming numbers, and Asa and his men pursued them all the way to Gerar, utterly overthrowing them. The Bible says they could not recover themselves because they were destroyed before the Lord and His host. Asa and the people of Judah carried away great spoils (2 Chronicles 14:13). The victory was total; read 2 Chronicles 14:14-15. The fear of the Lord fell upon their enemies, and Judah prospered. Our God is great. So, when you face challenges, don’t be moved. Focus on Him. He is your help, and through Him, you always prevail. Hallelujah! PRAYERDear Father, you’re my strength and my victory. I stand firm in faith, declaring your Word, knowing that all power belongs to you. Thank you for always causing me to triumph in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness (Acts 4:31). Often, we say God’s Spirit is God’s answer and many don’t understand it. When we pray, God answers, and His answer is the Spirit. For example, in Acts chapter 4, following the healing of the lame man in chapter 3, the Jewish leaders were enraged against the apostles. They commanded Peter and John not to preach or teach in the Name of Jesus. But the apostles stood their ground, declaring, “For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard” (Acts 4:20). After further threats, the authorities found no basis to punish them and let them go. The Bible says in Acts 4:23, “And being let go, they went to their own company….” By this time, many had already received salvation, and the Christians gathered together in unity. When they heard what had happened, they lifted their voices in prayer to God. Their prayer was fervent. They acknowledged God’s sovereignty and asked, “And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word” (Acts 4:29). God’s response was beyond their expectations. Our opening verse says, “And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.” God’s answer was the Spirit! He filled them with the Spirit and the result was them speaking the Word with boldness, healing the sick and casting out devils. In verse 33, we’re specifically told, “And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.” Blessed be God! The disciples prayed for boldness and God filled them with His Spirit. The answer wasn’t just a change in their situation but the impartation of the Spirit who enabled them to proclaim the Word with great power. This is what happens every time we pray; the Spirit is the answer. He fills us, strengthens us and empowers us to accomplish His will. Hallelujah! ConfessionI’m filled with the Spirit, empowered to speak the Word with boldness and to manifest the glory of God everywhere. I walk in the consciousness of God’s divine presence, knowing that through the Spirit, I have everything I need to fulfil my purpose, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
