An important member of the ruling party says President Tinubu has become a major headache for a former governor's family. Ayekooto Akindele from the All Progressives Congress believes the El-Rufai household feels upset about the current president. He made these comments after Bashir El-Rufai wrote harsh words against Tinubu online.
Bashir wants the president to lose badly during the next election and go back home to Lagos. The young man posted a photo of Tinubu and said northern voters would make sure he fails. His father Nasir El-Rufai used to run Kaduna State but has joined groups trying to defeat the president.

People across Rivers State felt let down when President Tinubu stayed quiet about their situation during Democracy Day. Many hoped he would bring back Governor Fubara and end the emergency rule that has lasted six months. The president spoke to lawmakers but never mentioned Rivers State at all.
Tinubu suspended normal government in Rivers back in March because of ongoing fights between political groups. He said militants were making threats and the governor refused to stop them. The president used special constitutional powers to take control of the state.
Things have gotten worse since the takeover according to local residents. Road projects stopped and people cannot access basic services despite money still flowing from federal...
A lawmaker from Osun State wants the governor to stop attacking top government officials. Oluwole Oke represents people in the House of Representatives and used to belong to the same party as Governor Ademola Adeleke.

A top politician from Nigeria's NNPP party has fired back at claims made in a former governor's new book. Aminu Ibrahim Ringim spoke out during a party meeting in Taura Local Government Area on Wednesday. He challenged statements written by Sule Lamido in his autobiography called Being True to Myself. The book covers Nigerian politics from the Second Republic through military rule up to the Fourth Republic.

This version of events does not match reality according to Ringim. The NNPP leader claimed many statements in the book needed fixing because they were...

The state wants to save innocent people from getting hurt during violent attacks across rural communities. Government workers still cooperate with police and military forces to catch dangerous criminals. They have not stopped trying to arrest gang members who terrorize local villages.
