INEC Yet to Receive 2027 Election Funds with 21 Days to Deadline

With just 21 days left before the statutory deadline for the release of election funds, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is yet to receive the money earmarked for conducting Nigeria's 2027 general elections.

INEC had proposed a budget of N873 billion for the 2027 polls, but concerns are growing over the delay in funding as preparations for the elections gradually intensify.

Election funding is critical to voter registration exercises, procurement of sensitive materials, recruitment and training of ad hoc staff, logistics planning, and deployment of technology needed to ensure credible polls.

Analysts warn that delays in releasing election funds could compress preparation timelines and put additional pressure on the electoral body, potentially affecting the efficiency and smooth conduct of the elections.

The development comes as political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections continue to gather momentum, with parties and stakeholders already positioning themselves for the contest.

What It Means for the Average Nigerian:
a. Delayed funding could affect the early preparation needed for smooth and credible elections.

b. Late preparations may increase logistical challenges on election day, including delays at polling units.

c. Credible elections are closely linked to political stability, investor confidence, and economic certainty, all of which ultimately affect jobs, prices, and everyday life.

d. Nigerians may increasingly demand transparency and accountability regarding how election funds are released and spent.

Peter Obi Files N8 Billion Defamation Suit Against Former Spokesperson Kenneth Okonkwo

Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has filed an N8 billion defamation lawsuit against his former spokesperson and actor-turned-politician, Kenneth Okonkwo, at the Onitsha Judicial Division of the Anambra State High Court.

The suit, filed on Thursday, June 25, 2026, follows an earlier pre-action notice in which Obi demanded that Okonkwo retract alleged defamatory statements, issue a public apology, remove the statements from all platforms, and pay damages.

According to court documents, Okonkwo, through his lawyer, declined to comply with the demands, prompting Obi to institute legal proceedings.

In the suit, Obi is seeking N8 billion in damages, a public retraction and apology, and a court order restraining Okonkwo from making further defamatory statements against him.

The legal action marks a significant escalation in the rift between the former political allies, who worked together during Obi's 2023 presidential campaign under the Labour Party.

FG Backs Cross-Border African Payment System, Pushes for Wider Credit Access

The Federal Government has proposed the development of a cross-border African payment card that would allow transactions between African currencies without first converting them into the United States dollar.

Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, made the proposal while receiving a delegation from Mastercard at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

According to the minister, the initiative is aimed at creating a more efficient payment system across Africa under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). Currently, many transactions between African countries are routed through intermediary currencies such as the U.S. dollar, leading to higher transaction costs, multiple conversion charges and increased foreign exchange pressures.

For the average Nigerian, the proposed payment system could mean cheaper and faster transactions when paying for goods and services in other African countries. Small businesses importing products from neighbouring countries may spend less on transfer fees, while students, tourists and entrepreneurs travelling within Africa could make payments directly in local currencies without worrying about expensive dollar conversions.

The government also called for greater access to consumer credit in Nigeria, noting that credit card usage remains extremely low. Wider access to credit could allow more Nigerians to finance education, purchase vehicles, expand businesses and manage emergencies without relying solely on cash savings.

The minister revealed that over 10,000 informal businesses are registering daily, a sign that more Nigerians are joining the formal economy and becoming eligible for financial products and services.

Analysts say the reforms could deepen financial inclusion, lower the cost of cross-border trade and create new opportunities for businesses and consumers if successfully implemented.

The initiative seeks to reduce transaction costs and foreign exchange pressures by enabling direct payments between African currencies and expanding access to consumer credit.

The Akwa Ibom State Government has unveiled the Ibom Medical City Project, a major healthcare development initiative designed to provide world-class medical services, drive research and innovation, and reduce the need for Nigerians to seek medical treatment abroad.

Speaking at the unveiling, Governor Umo Eno said the project will sit on about 100 hectares of land and feature a 350-bed international hospital, 62 medical specialties, medical residences, pharmaceutical and life sciences facilities, rehabilitation centres, and other support services.

The governor disclosed that his administration has employed 2,844 healthcare professionals since March 2025 and plans to train 100 Akwa Ibom indigenes abroad to support the operations of the facility upon completion.

Governor Eno described the project as one of the most ambitious healthcare investments in the state's history, aimed at building a robust healthcare ecosystem that creates opportunities and positions Akwa Ibom as a destination for quality healthcare services.
