AMINDA:
They should cut to the chase. We have already seen the ectent of their "organisation" and how they intend to win the election.

The Ekiti governorship election is a major test of the strength, structure, and electoral capacity of opposition parties such as the ADC and others. Elections are won through grassroots organization, voter mobilization, strategic planning, and strong political structures—not merely through social media enthusiasm.

If the APC secures victory in Ekiti today, it will send a strong signal about the current political realities on the ground and the challenges facing the opposition ahead of 2027. Ekiti remains an important political battleground, and the outcome will be closely watched across the country. The election is taking place today, June 20, 2026, as scheduled by INEC.

Once again, many political observers believe the opposition still faces significant hurdles in building a nationwide coalition capable of challenging the ruling party. Based on the current political landscape, supporters of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remain confident that he will be a strong contender in the 2027 presidential election.

As always, the final decision will rest with Nigerian voters at the ballot box

Politics › Foreign Reserves Rise To $51.04 Billion, Highest Level In 17 Years by blamingthedevil(op): 7:04pm On Jun 19
Nigeria’s external reserves climbed to $51.04 billion on June 18, 2026, marking their highest level in about 17 years as stronger foreign exchange inflows and improved market conditions continued to support the country’s reserve position.

Checks on Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) data showed that gross external reserves stood at $51,035,544,733.65, the highest level since January 20, 2009, when reserves reached about $51.07 billion.

The latest milestone reinforces the steady recovery in Nigeria’s external buffers, with reserves gaining momentum throughout June after recording significant growth in May.

What the data is saying
CBN data showed that Nigeria’s external reserves maintained a consistent upward trajectory during the month.

The reserves started June at $49.80 billion and crossed the $50 billion mark by June 5, reaching $50.12 billion.

By June 15, reserves had increased further to $50.81 billion before climbing to $51.04 billion three days later.

The sustained increase reflects stronger foreign exchange inflows and improved liquidity conditions in the country’s external sector.

More insights
Nairametrics had earlier reported that Nigeria’s external reserves gained more than $1 billion during the first half of June, extending the positive momentum recorded in previous months.

Reserves increased by about 2.5% between June 1 and June 18, rising from $49.80 billion to $51.04 billion.
The improvement follows an increase of approximately $1.22 billion recorded during the month of May 2026.
The strengthening reserve position comes amid ongoing foreign exchange market reforms and improved external inflows into the economy.

The CBN Governor Olayemi Cardoso, had, in May, said: “This strong buffer continues to reinforce investor confidence in the Nigerian economy and support exchange rate stability.”

Expert’s view
Analysts believe the higher reserve level could enhance the CBN’s capacity to support exchange rate stability and meet external obligations.

The Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise (CPPE) and its Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Muda Yusuf, speaking to Nairametrics, commended the development.

He noted, “That shows we are making progress. It shows that the [President Bola Tinubu’s] reforms are yielding results.”
He noted further that it is important for the nation to diversify its reserves in terms of sources.

He said, “This is important so that it is not too concentrated – in terms of the sources – on portfolio flow. It has to be properly diversified – non-oil exports, oil exports, FDI, etc. That will ensure more resilience.”
What you should know



The CBN had projected a stronger reserve position for 2026, supported by improvements in the country’s external sector.

In its economic projections, the apex bank forecast that Nigeria’s external reserves would rise to about $51.04 billion during 2026.
The projection was anchored on stronger oil earnings, foreign exchange market reforms and improved external capital inflows.

The latest reserve position indicates that the CBN’s projection has already been achieved, underscoring the impact of ongoing reforms aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s external buffers.
The continued build-up in external reserves provides additional support for macroeconomic stability and could improve investor confidence as the country pursues broader economic and fiscal reforms.

Foreign Affairs › Ukraine Launches Largest Attack On Moscow Since Start Of Full-scale War by blamingthedevil(op): 7:02pm On Jun 18
Ukraine has launched the largest drone offensive on Moscow of the full-scale war, in an attack that damaged a key oil refinery, caused fires, and sent debris raining down across the region.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB8xuZEWk_A?si=CHG7xyDa77UloYVz
Air defenses shot down at least 194 drones bound for the Russian capital overnight into Thursday, according to Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. That’s far higher than other days of heavy attacks in recent months, when drones only numbered in the double digits, and provides a stark example of Kyiv’s dramatically improved drone capabilities since Russia’s full-scale invasion of the country began more than four years ago.

The barrage, which left at least 17 people injured, was part of a larger Ukrainian attack over a broad swath of Russia, with air defenses intercepting almost 1,000 drones, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense – including over the Sea of Azov.

Flights at all major Moscow airports were temporarily suspended on Thursday, Reuters reported, citing the Russian aviation agency.

President Tinubu Deserves Credit For Supporting State Police -Riley Moore

I am thankful to see that Nigeria’s House of Representatives passed this important policy that I’ve been calling for since
@POTUS
first asked me to investigate the genocide against Christians in Nigeria.


In fact, I raised this idea directly with Nigeria’s First Lady during her visit to Washington and have done so repeatedly with every Nigerian delegation I’ve met with.

Ensuring states can protect their own citizens is a critical step toward ending the persecution of Christians and the overall instability in the Nigeria.

President Tinubu deserves credit for supporting this legislation and urging its passage through Nigeria’s parliament, and I hope to see him continue pushing on this issue.

There’s still a ways to go before state level police forces will be in place, but this is a sign that all our hard work is paying off.

Politics › Proposed Constitutional Amendments For The Establishment Of State Police by blamingthedevil(op): 12:32pm On Jun 11
Details of Proposed Constitutional Amendments for the Establishment of State Police and Federal Police

1. Establishment of Federal Police and State Police (New Section 214)
• Two distinct police bodies are constitutionally established:
• (a) the Federal Police
• (b) State Police (one per State, established by State law)

The National Assembly must pass an Act prescribing:
• Structure, organisation, administration, and powers of the Federal Police

• Framework and guidelines for the establishment of State Police

• State Police cannot commence operational policing until:
• Established by a Law of the State House of Assembly, and
• Certified as meeting national minimum standards (prescribed by an Act of the National Assembly)

• Transitional provision: Until a State Police becomes operational, the Federal Police continues all policing functions in that State. After commencement, the Federal Police handles federal policing functions and may provide assistance to the State Police.

2. Responsibilities and Non-Interference (Section 214)

Federal Police is responsible for:
• Maintenance of public security, public order, and security of persons/property throughout the Federation (to the extent provided by the Constitution or National Assembly Act).

• Similar functions within a State to the extent the State has legislative power under the Constitution.

Key safeguard against federal overreach (Section 214(6)):

The Federal Police shall not interfere with State Police operations or a State’s internal security affairs except in these limited cases:

• To contain serious threats where there is a complete breakdown of law and order and the State Police is unable to respond.

• When the Governor requests intervention.

• When a State Police is unable to function due to administrative, financial, or other problems.

Any such intervention requires prior approval by the National Police Council.

Federal Capital Territory (FCT): Fully under the jurisdiction and operational control of the Federal Police.

3. Leadership and Command (New Section 215)

• Federal Police: Headed by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP).

• Appointed by the President on the advice of the National Police Council, from serving members of the Federal Police.

• Subject to confirmation by the National Assembly.

• The IGP has command over the entire Federal Police, including contingents in States.

• The President (or authorised Minister) may give lawful directions on public safety and order; the IGP must comply.

• State Police: Headed by a Commissioner of Police (CP).

• Appointed by the Governor on the advice of the National Police Council, from serving members of the State Police.

• Subject to confirmation by the State House of Assembly.

• The Governor (or authorised Commissioner) may give lawful directions on public safety and order; the CP must comply.

• If the CP believes a direction is unlawful or contradicts general policing standards, the matter can be referred to the National Police Council (whose decision is final).

4. Removal of Top Officers (New Section 216)

• IGP: Removed only by the President on the recommendation of the National Police Council for specified grounds (grave misconduct, breach of Police Act/Regulations/Code of Conduct, conviction for fraud/dishonesty, bankruptcy, or mental incapacity). Requires two-thirds majority approval of the National Assembly.

• State Commissioner of Police: Removed only by the Governor on the recommendation of the National Police Council for similar grounds. Requires two-thirds majority approval of the State House of Assembly.

5. Funding Support (New Section 216A)
The Federal Government shall provide grants or aids to State Police on the recommendation of the National Police Council, subject to approval by the National Assembly.

6. Oversight Bodies
National Police Council (restructured and renamed from the old Nigeria Police Council; new composition and expanded functions in Third Schedule):

• Broad membership including: Chairman (Presidential appointee confirmed by NA), Attorney-General of the Federation, serving senior Federal Police officer, Attorneys-General of all States, retired Commissioners of Police (one per geo-political zone), representatives of NHRC, Public Complaints Commission, NLC, NBA, NUJ, and Traditional Rulers’ Councils.

• Key functions: Appointment and discipline of Federal Police officers (except IGP); recommending State top officers (CP, DCP, ACP) to Governors based on State PSC lists; supervising Federal and State Police activities (within constitutional limits); setting standards for training, intelligence, forensics; assisting State Police on request.

State Police Service Commission (new body established for each State in Third Schedule, Part II):

• Composition: Chairman (appointed by Governor, confirmed by State HA), representatives of NHRC, Public Complaints Commission, NLC, NBA, NUJ, retired Assistant Commissioners of Police (one per senatorial district), and Traditional Rulers’ Council.

• Functions: Recommending three qualified candidates for CP/DCP/ACP to the National Police Council; appointment, discipline, and removal of State Police officers below the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police; other functions as prescribed by Constitution or National Assembly Act.

7. Legislative Framework (Second Schedule – Concurrent Legislative List)

• National Assembly may make laws on: establishment/organisation/administration/powers/duties of Federal Police; powers/duties of State Police; national minimum standards for both; policing standards, inspection, certification, complaints mechanisms, criminal information systems, inter-governmental cooperation, federal intervention, use of force, firearms, grants, and accountability.

• State Houses of Assembly may make laws for the establishment, organisation, administration, funding, and oversight of their State Police — but must comply with the Constitution and valid National Assembly Acts.

• States may set higher standards than national minimums but not lower.
• National Assembly laws cannot give federal authorities routine command, deployment, appointment, promotion, transfer, discipline, or control over State Police personnel (except for explicitly authorised federal intervention).

8. Other Related Changes
• Updates to various constitutional provisions (e.g., Sections 34, 35, 39, 42, 84, 89, 129, 153) to replace references to “Nigeria Police Force” with appropriate “Police”, “Federal Police”, or “State Police” terminology.

• Exclusive Legislative List adjustments (e.g., light arms for policing purposes; fingerprints/biometrics/forensics shared with State Police; Federal Police listed separately).

• Consequential amendments to the Third Schedule for the new bodies and their compositions/powers.
