I think I get your drift.. well, I'd say it's politicians that love to go that route and no section of the constitution says they can't do such.
However, looking at the cost aspect, with increase in prices of building materials, cement, marble and all those finishings used, do you think they could have done it for less?

A chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and ally of former vice president Atiku Abubakar, Segun Sowunmi, has said he would not hesitate to leave the opposition party if he chose to support President Bola Tinubu.

Sowunmi made the statement during an interview on Channels Television on Monday night, in reaction to questions surrounding his recent meeting with Tinubu at the Presidential Villa.

“I will leave the PDP if I want to work for Tinubu,” Sowunmi said. “I am not a political captive.”

His comments come amid growing tensions within the PDP, as former presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar intensifies efforts to lead an opposition coalition against Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.

Sowunmi, however, played down any allegiance to Atiku’s current political mobilisation, stating flatly: “Is he running for president now? He is running a coalition that everybody knows I am not part of.”

We now live in a country of propaganda and lies, where a party Chairman refers to a governor in his party as a dwarf, with dwarf ideas. The allegations that I cannot be a good leader for Nigeria because of the crisis in the Labour Party fall flat. I have run successful businesses, been a governor and have shown no weakness. Humility, patience and tolerance are not weaknesses but virtues

Peter Obi, 2023 Labour Party Presidential Candidate, has said nothing wrong with fuel subsidy removal, but haphazard implementation is the issue.

"I've consistently maintained that I would have removed fuel subsidy. As outlined in my manifesto, I would have implemented subsidy removal in a structured and organised manner. However, the savings from subsidy removal from the Tinubu administration are not being reflected in critical areas of human development, such as education, health, and poverty alleviation.

Peter Obi insisted that fuel subsidy removal was necessary but said Tinubu’s execution was haphazard and failed to benefit critical sectors.

Benue State governor, Hyacinth Alia, has accused unnamed politicians and some serving members of the National Assembly of orchestrating the violent attacks ravaging the state.

Alia said the interim findings of a judicial panel set up by his administration suggest political actors are behind the escalating insecurity.

Since the start of the year, Benue has witnessed a spike in violence, with hundreds reportedly killed across several communities in attacks often blamed on bandits and suspected herders.

“We set up a judicial panel to sort out for us why we kept having attacks from within and from without, and we have received an interim report,” the governor said.

“Between Tuesday and Wednesday next week, I am going to get a full report from the panel.”

Former Presidential Candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, speaking on President Bola Tinubu's performance so far has said "The Nigerian people are worse than they were a few months ago."

"I don't know him well enough to know that he is competent. I know him as a politician who knows his way around manipulating people," he claims.

Planned Coalition Will Him Return Ticket

Justnation:
I see wike disappointing tinubu very soon.
Wike is unreliable, he is a games man strategically keeping foot in PDP so that he can easily mend fences and reintegrate into the fold ones he starts roforofo fight with tinubu.
Take it to the bank, tinubu's recent rapport with fugbara is annoying wike and he is plotting and waiting for the right time to strike and spoil things for tinubu as he did to Atiku

The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons said it is considering ‘further actions’ following a summons letter sent to Nigerian entertainer, Darlington Okoye, known as Speed Darlington, to appear at its headquarters in Abuja on Friday for questioning.

Darlington set social media ablaze on Tuesday after claiming he had once slept with a 15-year-old virgin.

Head of the Cybercrime Response Team, Ngamaraju Mangzha, in a letter to the entertainer on Wednesday, requested that the singer appear at NAPTIP’s Wuse Zone 5 office at 9:00 am on Friday.

However, the agency said it will take ‘further actions’ if the entertainer fails to appear for the investigation.

“Mr. Darlington Okoye (AKA Speed Darlington) is urged to respond to the official invitation issued on May 28, 2025, regarding a viral video and others in which he admitted to sexually abusing a minor. Failure to respond may lead to further action,” NAPTIP wrote in a post on X on Thursday after sharing a copy of the summons letter.

Meanwhile reactions have trailed the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP)'s invitation of singer, Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington Akpi, for questioning over alleged raped of a minor in a hotel in Lagos.

The invitation followed a formal notification to the agency by the Lagos State government on the alleged crime by the singer.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has filed fresh criminal charges against former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Godwin Emefiele.

In the eight-count charge submitted at the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja, EFCC accused Emefiele of acquiring an estate comprising 753 housing units in Lokogoma District, Abuja.

According to the commission, the estate sits on Plot 109, Cadastral Zone C09, and spans over 150,000 square meters.

EFCC said Emefiele, in collaboration with Eric Ocheme, who is currently at large, purchased the estate in August 2021.

Without naming the supposed original owner, the commission had earlier secured a court order to seize the entire estate. The property has since been handed over to the federal government.

Billions allegedly stashed in proxy accounts over the years

In addition to the estate acquisition, the anti-graft agency alleged that Emefiele kept billions of naira in proxy accounts.

Between 2019 and 2022, EFCC traced a total of over N6 billion to various accounts allegedly controlled by Emefiele and Ocheme.

These include Zenith Bank accounts under the names of Kelvito Integrated Services and Ifedigo Integrated Services.

The EFCC said that Emefiele stashed N1.23 billion in one account in 2020 and another N2.95 billion in 2021.

In 2022, he and his co-conspirator allegedly held N1.98 billion in the same account. Additionally, N900 million and N600 million were kept in other accounts reasonably suspected to contain funds obtained through fraudulent means.

More charges and ongoing trials raise Emefiele’s legal woes

Emefiele’s legal troubles have grown since his arrest in June 2023 following his removal from office by President Bola Tinubu.

He is currently facing multiple corruption-related charges in both Lagos and Abuja. These include criminal conspiracy, breach of trust, and unauthorized foreign exchange transactions totaling $2 billion.

In the latest charge, EFCC accuses him of forging a legal document titled “Irrevocable Power of Attorney” in 2021 to misrepresent business dealings between MG Properties Limited and H and Y Business Global Limited.

Prosecutors claim this action violates several sections of Nigeria’s Penal Code.

The EFCC has called 24 witnesses to testify about Emefiele’s involvement in the estate acquisition.

The witnesses are expected to tender documents showing the former CBN chief’s role in developing the seized property.
