BREAKING NEWS: APC Muslim-Muslim ticket: Cleric’s ‘infidels’ on Christians remark sparks condemnation and criticism.

A controversial remark by Islamic cleric, Sheikh Sani Jingir, describing Christians as “infidels” while canvassing support for a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket ahead of the 2027 elections has drawn condemnation from the vice presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Rabiu Kwankwaso, the chairman of the Northern Christian Association, Rev Joseph Hayab, and human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju.

Kwankwaso, in a statement on X, said the people of Kano did not endorse or support the divisive remarks.

Hayab accused the cleric of exposing what he described as the religious discrimination and marginalization on Christians in Northern Nigeria had endured for decades, while Adeyanju warned that the rhetoric could deepen religious divisions and threaten national unity.

The event was attended by Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, and his Jigawa State counterpart, Umar Namadi, among other political figures.

In a video circulating on social media, Jingir renewed his support for Muslim-Muslim presidential tickets, commending President Bola Tinubu for adopting the arrangement in the 2023 presidential election.

“Special thanks to my (political) hero, Bola Tinubu, who raised the flag of this political ideology, describing it as a purely Muslim-Muslim coalition,” he said.

“I am among the staunch advocates of the Muslim-Muslim ticket, and I call on you to come together for a Muslim-Muslim ticket,” the cleric added.

“Have I stopped the Christians from their own slogans? Have I stopped traditionalists from a similar campaign?” he asked.

Reiterating his position, he said, “But as a Muslim, I repeat it, Muslim-Muslim! No going back on this.”

“I urge all of us here to go and get our voters’ cards ready. Let’s show the infidels their limit, who claims they are more populous than us in Nigeria. They are lying,” he said.

Jingir acknowledged opposition to the arrangement by Christians and other religious groups but questioned whether campaigning for a Muslim-Muslim ticket amounted to wrongdoing.

Kwankwaso, however, expressed concern over the comment, describing it as troubling.

In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), Kwankwaso said, “At this critical moment in our nation’s history, statements that promote division and disunity must be firmly discouraged.

“It is particularly troubling to hear such rhetoric from a religious leader of Sheikh Jingir’s stature and influence.

“Let it be clearly stated: the good people of Kano do not endorse or support these divisive remarks.”

The former Kano State governor said political and religious leaders alike carry a solemn responsibility to uphold truth, foster unity, and advance reconciliation.

Osun election: Sensitive materials arrive in Osogbo as 30,000 corps members are mobilised.

Sensitive election materials have arrived in Osogbo ahead of Saturday’s Osun State governorship election, as the Independent National Electoral Commission said it would draw ad-hoc personnel from a pool of more than 30,000 members of the National Youth Service Corps.

The development came as security agencies stepped up preparations for the poll, with no fewer than 25,310 personnel from the Nigeria Police Force, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and Economic and Financial Crimes Commission deployed across the state.

The Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Adedayo Oketola, disclosed the commission’s planned deployment of NYSC members in a conversation on Monday while giving an update on preparations for the August 15 election.

Oketola, however, said he could not provide the exact number of ad-hoc personnel to be engaged, adding that the commission would draw from a pool of more than 30,000 NYSC members for the poll.

He also disclosed that 2,339,233 voters were registered in Osun State but said he did not have the latest figure for voters who had collected their Permanent Voter Cards following the extension of the PVC collection exercise.

On the distribution of sensitive and non-sensitive materials, Oketola said the materials were already in the state, assuring that deployment to local government areas and Registration Area Centres will begin on Thursday.

While explaining the commission’s logistics arrangements ahead of the election, Oketola said the commission would not disclose when the sensitive materials arrived in Osun for security reasons, stressing that they were already warehoused at the Central Bank of Nigeria.

He said the sensitive materials, including ballot papers, would be moved from the CBN to the local government offices on Friday, in line with the commission’s standard procedure.

Oketola said the sensitive materials, including ballot papers and Bimodal Voter Accreditation System devices, had been secured at the CBN, adding that disclosing details of their movement could expose them to security risks.

No fewer than 25,310 security personnel have been deployed to Osun ahead of Saturday’s governorship election, with the police, NSCDC and EFCC deploying personnel to secure the poll.

The deployment comprises 15,000 police officers, 10,210 NSCDC personnel and about 100 EFCC officers, according to separate announcements by the agencies.

The security build-up comes as 14 political parties prepare to contest the August 15, 2026 governorship election.

Further findings showed that the total debt stock of the seven states during the period under review was N977.15bn.

BREAKING NEWS: "Tinubu treks to the office, eats once daily” — NRS boss.

The Executive Chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service, Zacch Adedeji, has dismissed concerns over the alleged lavish lifestyles of public officials.

Adedeji said President Bola Tinubu does not live extravagantly despite his position.

He stated this during an interview with Channels Television, on Sunday, where he was questioned by journalist Seun Okinbaloye about the lifestyles of political office holders amid the economic challenges confronting Nigerians.

The discussion comes amid public debate over government spending and the lifestyles of political leaders, particularly as Nigerians continue to contend with rising living costs and economic pressures.

Responding to questions about the President’s movements and reported use of luxury vehicles, Adedeji claimed that Tinubu usually walks from his residence to his office and only uses a vehicle when travelling to the airport.

He also said the President eats only once daily and has not travelled outside Nigeria in the past three months.

When asked about the number of Escalades reportedly attached to Tinubu’s convoy, Adedeji challenged the premise of the question, arguing that the President could afford such vehicles.

He said, “Mr President goes from home to office on foot, not even driving except when he is going to the airport. I don’t know where you see the convoy. Before he became president, what is he riding?

“How much is an Escalade that the president of Nigeria cannot afford? Please don’t embarrass this country.

“What is living large? In the last months, he has not even left the shores of this country, trekking and working. If you go there now, you will see him review one document or the other.

“So what is living large? The president eats once in a day. How many parties have you seen him at in the last three years? Tell me where you have seen him, whether on holiday or anywhere?”

BREAKING NEWS: Lawyer demands release or trial of detained Delta commissioner.

The continued detention of Delta State Commissioner for Works on Highways and Urban Roads, Hon. Reuben Izeze, has sparked concern among his lawyers and supporters, who are demanding his immediate release or arraignment before a competent court.

Izeze was reportedly arrested on July 30, 2026, and taken to the Ekpan Police Station for questioning over his alleged connection with the assault of Temple Mudi, a Senior Special Assistant to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori on Protocol.

The incident occurred during the Delta Central Senatorial District APC Stakeholders’ Conference held at the Petroleum Training Institute Conference Centre on July 30.

According to eyewitness accounts, Mudi, popularly known as Temple, was allegedly attacked and severely beaten by youths suspected to be thugs linked to Izeze. The circumstances surrounding the incident, however, remain unclear.

Mudi was reportedly injured in the attack and rushed to an undisclosed hospital, where he is said to be receiving treatment.

Following the incident, Izeze was arrested and detained at the Ekpan Police Station while police investigate his alleged involvement.

However, the police authorities in Ekpan have yet to issue an official statement on the circumstances surrounding his arrest and detention.

Efforts by Izeze’s lawyer, to speak with the detained commissioner, Mudi and the police authorities were unsuccessful, as the sectional head of the area command was said to have left the station.

The development has generated public interest across Delta Central, particularly in Asaba, Warri, Ughelli, Effurun and surrounding communities, with residents awaiting the outcome of the police investigation.

Speaking on behalf of his client, Okeke condemned the alleged attack on Mudi, while insisting that the constitutional right to the presumption of innocence must be respected.

Okeke urged the Area Commander of the Ekpan Police Station to either release Izeze or charge him to court if the police have sufficient evidence against him.

He also appealed to the Inspector-General of Police to examine the circumstances surrounding the detention and ensure that due process was followed.

Okeke further said his team visited the police station in the public interest and to ascertain the condition of their client.
