“Obi and Atiku must unite to defeat Tinubu or forget about 2027” – Rosemary Amanabo

Political commentator Rosemary Amanabo has advised former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to put personal ambitions aside and reach an agreement that could strengthen the opposition ahead of the 2027 election.

According to her, one of the two politicians should willingly step down for the other, with a written and sworn commitment to serve only one term. She suggested that the person who steps aside should then support the other candidate in 2027, while the eventual winner would return the favour by supporting the other in the following election.

Amanabo also proposed a possible last-minute coalition between the ADC and NDC before the 2027 election, if an agreement can be reached. Alternatively, she suggested that the parties could wait until after the election to form a stronger coalition.

She believes such a strategic alliance could give the opposition its strongest opportunity yet to challenge the ruling APC and prevent the opposition vote from being divided.

“This is the only opportunity they can even get close to dethroning Tinubu because nothing in this life will take Tinubu from that seat, not even God, except death,” Amanabo stated.

“We’ve had Christian-Christian leadership longer than Muslim-Muslim, forget religion and focus on competence” – Reno Omokri defends Tinubu

Former presidential aide and political commentator Reno Omokri has weighed in on the ongoing debate over religion, political leadership and the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket in Nigeria, urging Nigerians to put the country’s history into proper perspective and focus more on competence than religious identity.

Speaking in a viral video he shared on X, Omokri questioned whether Nigerians truly believe the country is experiencing a religious war.

He said Nigeria is the largest “Islamo-Christian country” in the world and argued that while the country has had its challenges, the issue of religion should not be allowed to overshadow the need to elect competent leaders.

According to him, those criticising the current Muslim-Muslim ticket should consider how long Nigeria has actually been governed under such an arrangement.

“How long have we had a Muslim-Muslim ticket in this country? Less than four years,” he said.

Omokri then referred to Nigeria’s political history, pointing out that the country was governed by a Christian-Christian leadership for several years.

“Are you aware that from August 1, 1966 until July 1975, this country was governed by Christian-Christian ticket? General Gowon and Vice Admiral Wey, they were both Christians.”

He questioned whether Muslims at the time responded to the arrangement by declaring a religious war or engaging in widespread protests.

“Did Muslims complain in this country? Did they go and do any war? Did they complain?”

Omokri added that the leader who came after Gowon and Wey was also a Christian, further arguing that Nigeria’s political history contains periods when people of the same religion occupied the top leadership positions without the country descending into a religious conflict over the arrangement.

He therefore urged Nigerians to “put things in proper perspective,” stressing that competence should be a more important consideration when choosing political leaders.

Omokri also addressed the growing practice of politicians appearing at religious gatherings and using religious platforms during political activities.

He specifically referenced Peter Obi’s recent appearance at Koinonia and expressed concern about politicians going to churches and making political appeals.

“If you have someone like Peter Obi going to churches, I think he went to a church yesterday, Koinonia, and then he started all of this, all of that stuff, it’s gonna be troublesome,” Omokri said.

He argued that the same situation could become even more sensitive if a Muslim politician were to engage in similar activities inside a mosque.

“Because if a Muslim does that in a mosque, I don’t even know if we can withstand that. It’s not something that we should do.”

65 free surgeries for 65 Children: Peter Obi’s Birthday Gift of Hope

In a country where access to quality healthcare remains a major challenge for many families, sometimes the most meaningful celebrations are those that give others a reason to smile again.

To mark his 65th birthday, former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi supported a remarkable medical initiative that provided free surgeries for 65 children, turning a personal milestone into an opportunity to give hope to families in need.

The initiative, led by ENT/Head & Neck Surgeon Dr. Folaseye Adebayo and her dedicated medical team, focused on adenotonsillectomy—a procedure that removes enlarged or chronically infected tonsils and adenoids, conditions that can make it difficult for children to breathe, cause recurrent infections and disrupt their sleep.

More than 100 children were screened, with over 70 found to have clear medical needs. Ultimately, 65 children successfully received the surgeries, with beneficiaries coming from different parts of Lagos and as far as Benin, Awka, Enugu, Owerri and beyond.

Yesterday, Obi attended the final follow-up clinic and appreciation programme at Mother Mary Hospital, Isolo, Lagos, where he heard heartfelt testimonies from parents whose children had undergone the procedures.

For some families, what may have looked like a simple medical procedure was much more than that. It meant a child who once struggled to breathe could finally sleep peacefully. It meant parents who had watched their children battle recurring health problems could breathe a little easier themselves. And it meant children could return to the simple joys of childhood without the burden of constant discomfort.

Obi expressed gratitude to God for the successful completion of all 65 surgeries and praised Dr. Adebayo, her colleagues, the hospital management, parents and everyone who contributed their time, expertise and resources to the initiative.

For Obi, the occasion was a reminder that birthdays can mean more than cakes, celebrations and personal milestones. They can also become opportunities to give back, touch lives and leave behind moments of hope that families will never forget.

“I thank God for the privilege of being part of this initiative and, most importantly, for the gift of 65 healthy and hopeful children,” Obi said.

In a country where many families struggle to afford essential healthcare, 65 successful surgeries represent 65 stories of renewed hope.

And perhaps that is the most beautiful way to celebrate a birthday, not simply by adding another year to one’s life, but by helping others add more healthy and hopeful years to theirs.

A New Nigeria is POssible. ❤️

“I think about Tinubu’s re-election every day. If he loses, I will be Atiku, Obi’s first casualty” – Wike

Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has openly acknowledged the high political stakes attached to his decision to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

Speaking during a media chat in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Wike said he believes he would be among the first politicians targeted by his political opponents if Tinubu loses the election to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar or Peter Obi.

“I will be the first politician that I think they will come after. I will be the first politician. I know they will come for my head,” Wike said.

The former Rivers State governor, who remains a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) despite his support for Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said he was fully aware of the consequences of his political choice.

According to Wike, his commitment to Tinubu’s re-election has become a major focus of his political activities.

“Each day I sleep, I am thinking about the president’s re-election. When I am eating, I think about the president’s re-election. Everything I am doing now is about the president’s re-election,” he stated.

Wike also dismissed the criticism and name-calling he has received over his alliance with Tinubu, insisting that such attacks would not change his position.

“I am not bothered about people who say their own thing. My business is, like I said, I am going to support Mr President,” he declared.

Uber shuts down operations in Nigeria after 12 years of service

Ride-hailing giant Uber has announced plans to wind down its operations in Nigeria and Uganda, effective Wednesday, September 2, 2026, bringing an end to more than a decade of operations in Nigeria.

In a notice to customers and a statement to the media, Uber said the decision followed a review of its business priorities and investment strategy across Africa.

“After a thorough review, we have taken the difficult decision to wind down operations in Nigeria and Uganda, effective September 2, 2026,” the company said.

Uber stressed that the decision applies only to Nigeria and Uganda and does not affect its operations in other African markets. The company said it remains committed to Sub-Saharan Africa and will continue investing in markets where it believes it can create sustainable opportunities for drivers and provide reliable mobility services for riders.

Uber launched in Lagos in 2014, making Nigeria one of its earliest African markets. Over the years, the company expanded to several Nigerian cities, including Abuja, Lagos, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, Enugu and others, becoming one of the country’s leading ride-hailing platforms.

The shutdown therefore marks the end of a 12-year chapter for Uber in Nigeria.

The company also clarified that its decision is unrelated to the recent directive by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) concerning e-hailing operations at airports.

Uber said its immediate priority is to support drivers, riders and employees affected by the transition. Rider support through its Help Centre is expected to remain available for about 21 days after the shutdown, until approximately September 23, 2026, to address outstanding account-related issues.

Uber for Business services in the affected markets will also come to an end, while customer data will be handled in accordance with applicable privacy laws and the company’s policies.

The exits come as Uber embarks on a major global restructuring. On September 2, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi announced that the company would reduce its workforce by about 10%, affecting approximately 3,300 employees. Uber said the restructuring involves removing management layers, simplifying team structures, refining its global location strategy and concentrating investment on major growth opportunities, including autonomous vehicles.

The move also comes amid increasing challenges in Nigeria’s ride-hailing industry, including rising fuel costs, inflation, currency volatility, operating expenses and regulatory pressures.

Despite the withdrawal from Nigeria and Uganda, Uber says it remains confident in the long-term growth potential of Sub-Saharan Africa and will continue operating in other markets across the continent.
