The ruling follows allegations from Lula's campaign that the social media giant is suppressing Lula’s campaign content ahead of Sunday’s closely contested presidential runoff.

2027: Tinubu's campaigner, Showunmi defends wife's new INEC role

Segun Showunmi, a member of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Campaign Council, PCC, has defended his wife’s redeployment to head the Electoral Operations Department of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.Showunmi said his role in Tinubu’s 2027 re-election campaign had nothing to do with his wife, Oluyemi Adeyemi-Showunmi, securing the position.According to him, the posting was purely an internal administrative decision by the commission, urging those questioning it to examine her track record.He made the remarks on Channels Television, where he became agitated after the presenter asked whether his wife’s new role was compensation for his political activities.The controversy began after INEC redeployed Oluyemi, who was the commission’s administrative secretary in Lagos State, to its national headquarters to head Electoral Operations ahead of the 2027 elections.In the reshuffle, Isah Magaji Gummi, who previously headed Electoral Operations, was moved to the Voter Registry Department, while Oluyemi took over his former position.Reacting to insinuations linking his political activities to his wife’s elevation, Showunmi described her as a career INEC officer who had spent her entire working life with the commission.He said she joined INEC immediately after completing her National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, programme in Maiduguri and had remained with the commission ever since, adding that her redeployment was an internal arrangement unrelated to him.“That’s a civil servant you are talking about there. She’s a level 17 officer. Up till this posting, which comes within their own organisation and has nothing to do with anybody, I’m not even sure the President knows,” Showunmi said.2027: Tinubu's campaigner, Showunmi defends wife's new INEC role

Ex-Minority Whip seeks to overturn judgment nullifying Gombe APC Primary

Former Minority Whip of the House of Representatives, Ali Isa JC, has appealed a Federal High Court judgment that invalidated his victory in the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election in Gombe State.Isa, who represents Balanga/Billiri Federal Constituency, is asking the Court of Appeal to overturn the judgment delivered by Justice Vera Ibrahim Eneabo on September 30, 2026.The Federal High Court had nullified his primary election victory, ruling that he should have resigned from the House of Representatives before contesting for re-election. Justice Eneabo held that members of the National Assembly are political appointees and must leave their positions before participating in primaries to retain their seats.Dissatisfied with the decision, Isa has taken the matter to the Court of Appeal, seeking to have the ruling set aside.Meanwhile, some constituents from Balanga/Billiri Federal Constituency, working with a team of lawyers, have petitioned the National Judicial Council (NJC) over the judgment. The petitioners described the ruling as controversial, arguing that the judge wrongly classified elected members of the National Assembly as political appointees.They warned that upholding the judgment could have far-reaching consequences for Nigeria’s electoral system.According to them, the interpretation could mean that all elected public office holders, including the President, state governors, senators, members of the House of Representatives and state lawmakers, must resign before seeking another term.The group argued that such a requirement would contradict the provisions of the Nigerian Constitution.They have asked the NJC to examine the judgment and determine whether it raises concerns about judicial competence or compliance with the oath to uphold justice.The C
