  Actor and chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Kenneth Okonkwo, says ahead of the 2027 election, any vote for the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is a vote for president Bola Tinubu.   Okonkwo made this statement in an interview with Symfoni.   “It’s either you are working for Tinubu directly or indirectly because when you divide the votes of some of the coalition or the opposition, you are still making Tinubu to win. Nobody forced Peter Obi to enter the ADC. He entered on his own, and one week to the end of the closure of time, he left and gave reasons. What reason was that? You cannot compete in primaries and you want to be a president of a challenged country. Let me tell you the truth, in 2027, anybody voting for Peter Obi  is voting for Tinubu.

Former Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai (Rtd), has questioned the inability of security agencies to locate bandits in their hideouts, contrasting it with their swift tracking of ordinary citizens and social media influencers.     Speaking during an appearance on TVC, Buratai addressed growing public frustration over the impunity of criminal gangs who openly flaunt ransom money on social media. He challenged the narrative that these groups are untraceable, pointing out that intelligence and tracking capabilities used to apprehend civil offenders should similarly apply to locating bandits.   While appearing on TVC last night, Buratai was told that one thing that has constantly angered Nigerians is the level of impunity where bandits come on social media to flaunt the ransom collected from families of their victims while the security agencies have repeatedly show lack of capacity to trace them in their hideouts.   Responding, Buratai said ‘’I don't ...
