The group, in a statement issued on Monday, November 9, 2026, declared that Nigerians had reached a point where they could no longer tolerate what it described as the failure of the Tinubu administration to fulfil its 2023 campaign promises.

Titled “The People’s Verdict: Tinubu Must Go,” the statement said the President’s Renewed Hope campaign had failed to deliver prosperity, employment, food security and a better standard of living for Nigerians.

Nigeria’s Air Peace and Ethiopian Airlines have signed a bilateral interline agreement to improve air connectivity across Africa and international destinations, allowing passengers to book connecting flights operated by both carriers on a single ticket.

The agreement covers passenger ticketing and checked baggage services, enabling travellers to move between the airlines’ networks without making separate reservations for eligible connecting journeys.

According to a press statement released on Tuesday, the partnership will connect Air Peace’s domestic and regional operations with Ethiopian Airlines’ international network across Africa, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the Americas.
