Former Minister of Power Saleh Mamman has been sentenced to 75 years in prison for diverting ₦33.8 billion meant for the Zungeru and Mambilla hydroelectric power projects. He is currently on the run.

This is the kind of leadership Nigeria needs more of. This shows what fiscal responsibility looks like. Too many leaders treat public funds as personal money to spend or loot. When those in office begin to leave something behind instead of emptying the treasury, we will start seeing real progress.

“Peter Obi actually left the money he said he left. I documented it. I was the CEO of Diamond Bank then” — Alex Otti (Governor, Abia state)

APC supporters were caught on video openly distributing cash to voters as part of President Tinubu’s 2027 re-election campaign. This is blatant vote buying. A clear determination by the ruling party to cling to power by any means, including diverting public funds. What is even more disturbing is that part of this campaign money is being siphoned from the federal government’s annual budget, while security, healthcare, and education remain dangerously underfunded. This is how those in power steal from the people to buy the people’s mandate.

@Imranmuhdz This move is significant. Peter Obi has consistently pledged to serve only one term if elected. By aligning the zoning with a one-term arrangement, the NDC seems to be indirectly strengthening the possibility of Obi emerging as its flag bearer.

The NDC has officially zoned its presidential ticket to the South for a single four-year term in 2027, and then to the North in 2031, as announced at their National Convention today.

The Federal Government is making arrangements to evacuate willing Nigerians from South Africa following renewed xenophobic violence. Foreign Affairs Minister Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu said Nigeria cannot watch its citizens face harassment, humiliation, and killings. Over 130 Nigerians have already registered for voluntary evacuation.

Jude Bela (@realjudebela) just dropped a powerful documentary on Nigeria’s first Prime Minister, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa — “Nigeria’s Unlucky Prime Minister.” He explains how the 1914 amalgamation, rigged constitutional arrangements, and power imbalances set Balewa up to fail from the beginning. If you want to understand how the foundations of Nigeria’s problems were laid right from independence, this is worth watching. youtu.be/GcTK1rgqs1g?si…

Former President Goodluck Jonathan says: “You ask me to come and contest the next election. The presidential race is not a computer game, but I have heard you, and I will consult widely.” This is the clearest signal yet that Jonathan is seriously considering a return to the presidential race in 2027.

This is the clearest signal yet that former President Jonathan is seriously considering a return to the presidential race in 2027. After years of staying away, the former president is now leaving the door open. The big question is whether this will bring fresh hope and addition to the opposition movement. Nigerians are watching closely.

"You ask me to come and contest the next election. The presidential race is not a computer game, but I have heard you, and I will consult widely." - Former President Goodluck in response to a group of people urging him to contest the 2027 presidential election.

The real scandal here isn’t just the allocation. It’s that a serving minister is casually dishing out prime lands in the FCT — some of the most valuable real estate in the country — at his personal discretion, and major media houses are among the beneficiaries. Media organisations that are supposed to be independent watchdogs are collecting choice plots from the same government they should be holding accountable.

Channels TV Hits Back at Wike: We Are Not Making Money From Guzape Land In an official rebuttal statement, Channels TV further challenged Minister Wike to publicly release the full list of journalists who received land in FCT.

Senator Danjuma Goje has proposed that China should be given the opportunity to build and manage Nigeria’s electricity sector for 20 years, recover its investment through stable power supply, and then hand it back. This is a very bold suggestion. When a senator says Nigeria should hand over one of its most critical national assets to a foreign country for two decades, it reveals the depth of frustration with our repeated failure to fix power. But it also raises serious questions: Are we admitting we cannot manage our own key infrastructure? And what does long-term foreign control of our electricity really mean for national sovereignty?

New Power Minister Joseph Tegbe promises to fix Nigeria’s frequent grid collapses in 100 days and says “hold us accountable” if he fails. Another ambitious timeline. Nigerians have seen many such promises in the past. The difference this time will be measured in stable electricity, not beautiful words. The countdown has begun.

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, while defending land allocations in Abuja, told a Channels TV reporter: “Have you seen the list of those who were allocated land? Do you know how many people working at Channels TV that have land?” This is a very revealing moment. When a serving minister casually admits that land is given out to selected individuals and then questions why anyone is complaining, it exposes how public land in the Abuja is being allocated at the personal discretion of those in power.

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has threatened to seal off any house used as headquarters by the Turaki-led PDP faction and warned that any bank that opens an account for them to sell nomination forms “will be in trouble.” This is an open threat by a serving minister to use state power to block an opposition party from carrying out basic political activities. When public office is used to intimidate banks and private property owners over internal party matters, it raises serious questions about the rule of law and the shrinking space for opposition politics in Nigeria.
