President Bola Tinubu has ordered the deployment of an army battalion to Kaiama Local Government, Kwara State, where Boko Haram terrorists overnight killed hapless villagers in Worro.   President Tinubu said the new military command will spearhead Operation Savannah Shield to checkmate the barbaric terrorists and protect defenceless communities.   He condemned the cowardly and beastly attack and described the gunmen as heartless for choosing soft targets in their doomed campaign of terror.   President Tinubu expressed rage that the attackers killed the community members who rejected their obnoxious attempt at indoctrination, choosing instead to practice Islam that is neither extreme nor violent.   "It's commendable that the community members, even though Muslims, refused to be conscripted into a weird belief that promoted violence over peace and dialogue," he said.   The President urged collaboration between federal and state agencies to provide succ...

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has said that political activities towards the 2027 general elections will not affect his capacity to deliver life-impacting projects to FCT residents. Wike gave the assurance when he inspected some ongoing projects in parts of Abuja on Wednesday. He explained that he has the capacity to handle both tasks effectively and efficiently, with more emphasis on service to the people.

Press Statement INEC MEETING: STILL, NO CAUSE FOR ALARM. We are aware that the Independent National Electoral Commission invited the leaders of political parties to a meeting today and extended the invitation to some former members of our party who are purporting to lead a so-called National Caretaker Committee, to represent our party, whereas there is no such provision in our constitution.   This action, though ordinarily vexatious and capable of causing widespread breach of peace, will be met with all possible legal response. Though not unexpected of this current INEC leadership, but it is expected that an impartial umpire would have taken notice of the pendency of the matters in the Court of Appeal(including the judgment which they are relying upon),which when decided, will effectively affect the subject under consideration; and exercised restraint, therefrom. We can assure that INEC will not choose a leadership for our party.   Consequently, we urge all our mem...

A 47-year-old man, Kazeem Adebayo, from Ijebu Igbo in Ogun State, has been arrested over the alleged killing of his partner, Abosede Adesanya, a 30-year-old mother of five. According to reports, Abosede was in a relationship with Adebayo and was involved in a property transaction alongside her 84-year-old mother, Amoke. The elderly woman had recently sold a piece of land with the intention of purchasing another property where she and her daughter planned to build a two-bedroom flat. Adebayo was said to be among the witnesses who signed the land sale documents and later offered to help them secure a new property. Investigations revealed that Adebayo allegedly asked Abosede to visit his residence with ₦530,000, part of the proceeds from the land sale. It was during this visit that the incident occurred. Abosede reportedly sustained severe injuries and later died. Police sources said the suspect allegedly buried Abosede’s body in a shallow grave inside his room. It was further...

Lere Olayinka, media aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has fired back at the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, over a recent comment against his principal. DAILY POST reports that Makinde on Tuesday threw jabs at Wike, for saying he (Wike) is interested in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Oyo State. Speaking at a PDP National Executive Council meeting, the minister said above any other thing, he is interested in the PDP structure in the state being led by Makinde. The comment, however, didn’t go well with the Oyo State governor, who is an arch rival of Wike. Speaking at the opening of a new PDP secretariat on Tuesday, Makinde described Wike and other members of the PDP faction as vagabonds, insisting that the Oyo chapter of the party remained stable, focused and united. “In Yoruba land, we always say that if you see a house or compound that is peaceful, the vagabond in that house has not grown up. “The vagabond in PDP, they grew u...
