Former Senate President Bukola Saraki hit back at Senate President Godswill Akpabio for telling people he wants a Niger Delta person kicked out of office. Saraki explained through his media chief Yusuph Olaniyonu that his earlier statement asking for better handling of accusations had nothing to do with removing Akpabio. He urged Akpabio to read his March 1st press statement again because it never asked the Senate President to step down anywhere.
Akpabio told youth groups Friday that certain folks from Kwara and Adamawa States want him gone just because he comes from Niger Delta. Saraki thinks this turns a serious matter about Senate credibility into a political game. The statement from Saraki's team made it crystal clear he never...
Nasir El-Rufai traveled to Lagos Sunday to meet with Rauf Aregbesola and Pastor Tunde Bakare. His media helper, Muyiwa Adekeye, shared this news on X, posting, "Malam Nasir @elrufai was in Lagos today to visit Ogbeni @raufaregbesola and Pastor Tunde Bakare." These fresh meetings happened right after El-Rufai stopped by former President Muhammadu Buhari's place in Kaduna earlier.
People have started talking about what these visits might mean for El-Rufai's plans. Many wonder if he wants to build new friendships before the 2027 elections. Aregbesola ran Osun State twice as governor and previously worked with President Bola Tinubu as a friend. He recently walked away from their political party, APC, because of big problems between members...
IPOB has told politicians and people in the Southeast not to steal the N250 billion meant for the new Southeast Development Commission. They want every penny spent on making the region better. Emma Powerful spoke for IPOB on Sunday, saying the area needs urgent projects and programs that actually help people. He listed things like fixing roads, upgrading hospitals, building new health centers, and setting up power plants.
The group heard about money going to the Commission headed by Dr. Emeka Nworgu, with Senator Orji Uzor Kalu watching over it. IPOB warned these leaders to make sure nobody pockets the cash instead of using it for real improvements. They said the region needs job-creating projects and social help right away. The funds...
Francis Maku from Delta State wants the Senate to bring back Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan immediately. This PDP leader believes her long suspension violates the rights of the people she represents. He served as Warri North Local Government Council Chairman before and feels strongly about this matter. Maku asked President Tinubu to step in fast to protect the National Assembly from public mockery.
The six-month punishment seems way harsh to Maku and goes against his basic right to speak freely under the 1999 Constitution. He pointed out that our main law beats any other rules when it comes to these important issues. He wonders why senators handled this situation without honest intentions. He stressed that the Senate must treat every...
The group Conscience of the Nation asked our government on Monday to back more local refineries across the country. They believe added refineries would cut back on foreign fuel needs and create jobs for many people. This simple change might boost our entire economy through direct impacts on everyday costs. More plants like Dangote Refinery stand ready to transform our nation.
Local production matters because Nigeria could become one of the biggest oil refining countries by 2025. The Dangote plant makes high-quality gas, diesel, jet fuel, and other products that meet European standards. These products can replace everything we currently buy from other countries. Better local production helps our money stay inside Nigeria instead of...

Poland's top leader, Donald Tusk, asked friends yesterday to show more respect toward their allies. This came right after his foreign affairs chief, Radoslaw Sikorski, argued with US Senator Marco Rubio plus tech billionaire Elon Musk about satellite technology. Tensions rose when Sikorski mentioned Ukraine might need different options besides the Musk-created Starlink satellite service.
Rubio fired back at Sikorski claiming he simply made up information. The American senator added that Polish officials should feel more thankful because, without Starlink technology, Russian forces would already stand at Poland's national boundary. The fight heated up further when Musk jumped into the disagreement, calling the Polish minister a small...
Rodrigo Duterte said Monday he stands ready for any arrest after news broke that the International Criminal Court might issue a warrant related to his anti-drug campaign. Many people died during this operation, which became his main policy promise when he ran for president. Duterte won the 2016 election as a tough-talking mayor who made heated speeches promising to kill drug dealers across the country.
The current administration under President Ferdinand Marcos Jr has not yet received any official notice from Interpol. However, spokesperson Claire Castro told reporters that police forces would follow legal requirements if Interpol requests them to serve an arrest warrant. Duterte visited Hong Kong recently, a place that does not...
North Korea shot multiple ballistic missiles into the Yellow Sea on Monday. They fired these missiles right after blasting South Korea and America for running military practice together. North Korea thinks these exercises could cause an accident that could start a fight between countries. The missiles came from the western part of North Korea, according to South Korean military watchers.
This counts as the first missile test North Korea has done since Donald Trump returned as President of the United States back in January. South Korean defense experts believe these were close-range missiles that can fly about 186 miles maximum. The yearly exercises called Freedom Shield will keep going until March 20, but they stopped the real shooting...
