2027: If APC uses Aso Rock for meetings, weddings, we deserve same - Sowore dares Tinubu

The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, has said the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has no moral right to stop him from using the Presidential Villa for his campaign. Sowore, who spoke on Arise Television's Prime Time on Thursday, said the APC has turned the Villa into its party office."If the APC can use the Presidential Villa for its political activities with catering, logistics, and security provided, we are entitled to the same," Sowore said."The APC has been using the Presidential Villa for meetings, launches, and weddings in some cases. It is fair for us to ask. We will only pay for this if the APC can provide receipts for all the times they used the presidential villa banquet hall," he said.Sowore's comment comes days after his party wrote to President Bola Tinubu requesting to use Aso Rock for the inauguration of its Presidential Campaign Council on November 11, 2026, with food and logistics for 5,000 guests.The request was dismissed by APC National Secretary, Ajibola Basiru, who described Sowore as a "skit maker".Sowore, however, insisted that Aso Rock is a public property and opposition parties should be granted the same privilege the ruling party enjoys.2027: If APC uses Aso Rock for meetings, weddings, we deserve same - Sowore dares Tinubu

The Federal Ministry of Power, through the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, in partnership with the Kano State Government, has commissioned four transmission substations, adding 544MW of wheeling capacity to Kano State’s power grid.The substations are located at Walalambe, Kumbotso, Dakata and Dan-Agundi. Walalambe has a new 80MW-capacity substation with two 40MVA transformers, while Kumbotso has received 300MVA at the 330kV level and 100MVA transformers. Dakata and Dan-Agundi have each gained an additional 100MVA transformer at the 132kV level.The commissioning was carried out by the Honourable Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, alongside the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Mahmuda Mamman; the Managing Director of TCN, Engr. Sule Abdulaziz; the Kano State Commissioner for Energy; and other dignitaries.The projects are expected to strengthen bulk electricity supply to Kano’s industrial, commercial and residential areas, ease pressure on overloaded substations and create capacity to meet previously suppressed demand.At Walalambe, six outgoing feeders will support electricity supply to the Tokarawa Industrial Area, the Eastern Bypass, Maiduguri Road, Hadejia Road and adjoining communities.Lee Group, a major industrial enterprise, has been reconnected to the national grid after more than 30 years of operating off-grid. Meanwhile, the fire-damaged Dan-Agundi substation has regained substantial capacity to serve Kano’s ancient town, the Emir’s Palace and surrounding communities.Together, the investments are expected to strengthen infrastructure for manufacturing, support small businesses, create employment opportunities and improve household welfare.The projects underscore President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and his determination to reset the power sect

French riots are threatening Western civilisation! Wait, I’m being passed a note…

But with cost of living the protest's raison d'être, it sure sounds similar to a certain pivotal revolution. The post French riots are threatening Western civilisation!
