The Presidential Working Group on the National Policing Bill on Tuesday said it had submitted the draft National Policing Bill, 2026, and 29 consequential amendment bills to the Ministry of Justice for legislative drafting review and validation.

This comes as Ogun, Delta, Plateau, Kwara and Adamawa state assemblies approved the police bill alongside Edo, Osun, Oyo, Rivers and Zamfara, which had earlier endorsed the constitutional amendments required to institute state policing.

Dogalmighty17:
The ignorant Tinubu supporters above probably do not even know why the scarcity in Bali is happening. A ship with 22 million litres of diesel headed for Indonesia, was struck and sunk in the strait of Hormuz.

You confirmed there is Scarcity. Yes.

So why are you crying over it?

floss:
Assume that it's obi that FBI is having his files and obi is the one leading Nigeria into oblivion just as tulumbu is doing....

Hope you'll defend him like you're currently doing with tulumbu....

Let me tell you why igbos voted for abiola... In case it you think igbos hate yorubas.... They voted for obasanjo massively....

If you're not corrupt or perceived to be less corrupt, every well meaning Nigerian will vote for you... Tulumbu is corruption personified and it hurts that yorubas see nothing wrong with it despite removing Jonathan for lesser corruption cases.... To you it's all about your agenda.... Continue setting a wrong precedence....

Accountability is out of the window in tulumbu government, it doesn't bother you when no one is held accountable...

How can Apc be campaigning with

I will instead of I have

Because tulumbu government is a charade and criminal personified

But it was Obi that was arrested at Heathrow Airport. Why are you supporting criminal like Peter Obi?

Ofunaofu:
This your submission just gave Daniel Bwala’s famous statement below another layer of credibility.

The guy is addressing you. Why are you always sad about positive development?

AustineE1:
I can't help but agree with the popular notion that it takes only foolishness to support APC...some of the good men I use to know,started behaving funny and out rightly st*pid once they joined or started supporting APC.

So you are part of the people that hate progress, development and positive things in Nigeria?

Where is that man that normally give his followers examples from South East Asia?

Indonesia hit by fuel crisis as queues stretch up to 2 km.

So in peter obi's Indonesia 🇮🇩, there's serious fuel crisis and he doesn't want Nigerians to know

Bali is hit by fuel crisis as queues stretch up to 2 km.

What has Tinubu done for the common man?

He increased the minimum wage for the common man.

He established NELFUND to help the children of the common man access higher education.

He increased pensions for our senior citizens.

He improved wages for our military personnel.

He channelled more funds to local governments, bringing more resources to the grassroots where the common man lives.

He also increased allocations to states, giving them more resources to build roads, schools, hospitals and other essential infrastructure for the benefit of ordinary citizens.

The following 50 highways are being built for the common man:

Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway
Sokoto–Badagry Superhighway
Calabar–Ebonyi–Abuja Highway

2027: I have preference among opposition leaders, but they don’t know arithmetic — Onaiyekan

Former Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, Cardinal John Onaiyekan has said he has a preferred candidate among opposition leaders seeking to challenge President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections, but criticised them for failing to unite behind a common alternative.

Onaiyekan warned that allowing multiple opposition candidates to split votes against the ruling party could enable the incumbent government to win by default.
