A former governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress in Kwara State, Yahaya Seriki, has declared support for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in 2027, saying the President deserves a second term in office.

Seriki, who is also the North-Central Coordinator of the City Boys Movement and Chairman of Kursi Group, said Nigeria had not experienced the kind of policy direction being pursued by the Tinubu administration, expressing confidence that the policies would produce a better country.

He made the declaration while speaking at an empowerment programme in Ilorin on Saturday, where he unveiled a package worth over N4bn, comprising N1bn in cash and about N3.2bn in equipment and other items.

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has accused journalists of misrepresenting the date he carried a placard during a prayer walk, alleging that the report falsely linked the incident to former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.

Adeboye said the incident occurred in 2020, five years after Jonathan left office in 2015, insisting that the walk was organised to pray against insecurity and killings in the country.

The cleric spoke to his congregation on Sunday during the church’s November Thanksgiving service, where he recounted how the report portrayed him as a wicked man for carrying a placard allegedly against the former president.

He said the report gained widespread acceptance without journalists verifying the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Dorathy Bachor has told social media users to stay out of her private life as speculation about her relationship with comedian Broda Shaggi continues.

The reality TV star’s reaction followed conversations about a gold ring she flaunted while asking women whether their partners could afford similar jewellery.

“Can your man buy you 150 pounds carat gold ring?” Dorathy asked.

The ring display, alongside a loved-up video featuring the pair, fuelled speculation that Broda Shaggi might have proposed to her.

The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Joash O. Amupitan, SAN, has warned that anyone who attacks or threatens National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members and other election officials during the 2027 general elections will face the full weight of the law.

Amupitan gave the warning on Saturday, October 31, 2026, at the South-South Zonal Interactive Meeting with Staff and Readiness Assessment in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

INEC disclosed this in a statement posted on its X handle on Sunday.

The INEC chairman also charged electoral officials across the South-South geopolitical zone to uphold impartiality, discipline and accountability as the commission intensifies preparations for the 2027 general elections.

He warned that partisanship, negligence, absenteeism and financial impropriety would attract disciplinary action.
