**BreakingNews* : *Sean "Diddy" Combs Found Guilty on 2 Counts*
of Transporting Women for Prostitution, Faces Up to 20 Years in Prison"

Sean "Diddy" Combs has been found guilty of prostitution-related offenses, specifically transportation to engage in prostitution, but was acquitted of more serious charges, including racketeering conspiracy and s*x trafficking. Here's what's happening next
*Sentencing*: Combs faces a maximum 10-year prison sentence on each of the two prostitution counts. His sentencing will be determined by the U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian at a later date.
- *Appeal*: Combs' lawyers may file an appeal of both his conviction and sentence, which could take years to resolve.
*Civil Lawsuits*: Combs still faces dozens of civil lawsuits accusing him of s*xual abuse, including one from singer Cassie Ventura, which was settled for $20 million. He has denied all wrongdoing.
*Bail Request*: Combs' lawyer has asked for bail, which prosecutors oppose. The judge has asked both sides to submit written arguments on whether Combs should be released.

Combs' trial lasted seven weeks, with prosecutors alleging he used physical violence and threats to coerce his former girlfriends into s*xual performances. His defense team argued that the s*xual activity was consensual and that prosecutors were trying to criminalize his private s*x life.

In a major victory for President Trump, the US Senate has passed the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" with a narrow 51-50 vote, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote. The bill, which aims to reshape key parts of the US economy and government, now heads back to the House of Representatives for final approval before it can be signed into law by President Trump.

*Key Provisions:*

- *Tax Cuts:* Permanently extends the 2017 Trump-era tax cuts, introduces new incentives for American-made vehicle buyers, and removes taxes on tips and overtime pay
- *Border Security:* Allocates $70 billion for border security enhancements, including building barriers and expanding surveillance technologies
- *Defense:* Increases defense spending by $150 billion, including investment in the "Golden Dome" missile defense system
- *Energy:* Phases out renewable energy tax credits, potentially impacting wind and solar energy projects, while preserving tax credits for hydrogen, nuclear energy, geothermal, and hydropower
*Healthcare:* Reduces waste, fraud, and abuse in the Medicaid program and establishes work requirements for able-bodied adults

*What's Next:*

The House of Representatives will review the Senate's version of the bill and vote on its approval. If passed, the bill will be sent to President Trump's desk for signature, with a self-imposed deadline of July 4.

Nigeria 2027: The Atiku-Obi Conundrum*

BY--BONIFACE IHIASOTA
FORIGN JOURNALIST/
Washington DC Correspondent

A potential alliance between Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi has sparked intense debate in Nigeria's political landscape, with significant implications for the 2027 presidential election. Here's a breakdown of the potential partnership:

*Key Considerations:*

- *Opposition Unity*: Atiku's endorsement could unify opposition forces behind a single candidate, increasing their chances of defeating the ruling party.
- *Legacy and Credibility*: By stepping aside, Atiku might be remembered as an elder statesman prioritizing national interests over personal ambition.
- *Power Shift*: This development could lead to a shift in Nigeria's political landscape, potentially paving the way for new leadership and ideologies.

*Potential Outcomes:*

- *Boost to Obi's Campaign*: Atiku's endorsement could significantly boost Obi's campaign, bringing in his supporters and experience.
- *Increased Electoral Competition*: A unified opposition could lead to more competitive elections, potentially resulting in a more accountable government.
- *New Era in Nigerian Politics*: This move might signal a new era in Nigerian politics, with politicians prioritizing national interests over personal ambitions.

*Challenges and Uncertainties:*

- *Atiku's Decision*: It's unclear whether Atiku will accept this suggestion and step aside for Obi.
- *Party Politics*: The dynamics within the opposition party and potential reactions from other aspirants could influence the outcome.
- *Electoral Outcome*: The impact of this potential endorsement on the 2027 electoral outcome remains uncertain.

*Recent Developments:*

Atiku Abubakar has reportedly offered Peter Obi the vice presidential slot on a joint ticket for the 2027 elections, with an agreement for a single-term presidency. Obi is said to be consulting with his supporters before formally accepting the offer ¹.

*Reactions:*

The APC has dismissed the potential threat posed by an Atiku-Obi alliance, asserting that their combined electoral support would be insufficient to unseat President Bola Tinubu. Meanwhile, some Nigerians are eagerly watching the developments, hoping for a unified opposition that could challenge the ruling party

*Question: "Nigeria's 2027 Elections: Can Atiku and Obi Unite to Shake Up the Political Landscape?
