2027: Tinubu too desperate to remain in power – US firm

A United States advocacy firm, Von Batten-Montague-York, has alleged that President Bola Tinubu is too desperate to remain in power. Von Batten-Montague-York made the allegation in a statement posted on its verified X handle on Thursday. This comes as Nigeria prepares for its 2027 general elections. The firm also accused the President of weaponising the police, courts and electoral institutions to rig the 2027 polls. It was reacting to the five men in Borno State who were reportedly arrested for wearing ‘Tinubu Must Go’ T-shirts. The firm reiterated the significance of the United States standing with the Nigerian people as they fight for democracy and the rule of law. “Nigerian President Bola Tinubu is desperate to remain in power for many self-beneficial reasons, including something called head-of-state immunity, a doctrine that can protect sitting heads of state from the jurisdiction of foreign courts while they remain in office. “Tinubu is now fully aware that the only thing standing in the way of a possible official re-examination of his alleged role in the trafficking of heroin from Nigeria into the United States during the 1980s and 1990s, and a possible new criminal indictment, is his current status as President of Nigeria,” the firm tweeted. 2027: Tinubu too desperate to remain in power – US firm

Kebbi APC reinstates suspended chairman, Kana-Zuru

The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Kebbi State has reinstated its State Chairman, Abubakar Muhammad Kana-Zuru, more than three months after his suspension. The decision was announced on Thursday by the party’s State Publicity Secretary, Isah Abubakar Assalafi, at a press conference at the APC secretariat in Birnin Kebbi. Assalafi said the State Working Committee (SWC) revoked Kana-Zuru’s suspension after reviewing subsequent developments surrounding the decision taken in June. The SWC had, at its meeting on June 20, 2026, suspended Kana-Zuru from office through Resolution No. KSWC/010/2026. However, at a meeting held on October 1, 2026, the committee resolved to revoke the suspension and restore him to office with immediate effect. The decision also terminated the interim arrangement under which Adamu Mudi Augie had been serving as Acting State Chairman. “Accordingly, Alhaji Adamu Mudi Augie shall cease to act as Acting State Chairman and shall resume his substantive office as Deputy State Chairman,” Assalafi said. He added that all official records and documents relating to the office of State Chairman should be handed over to Kana-Zuru. The party directed its state secretary to communicate the resolution to the appropriate party organs, including the national headquarters, for information and necessary action. The APC said Kana-Zuru had resumed all the functions, powers and responsibilities of the State Chairman with immediate effect. Kebbi APC reinstates suspended chairman, Kana-Zuru
