Kano State Governor, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, on Saturday, joined President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and other prominent party leaders at the flag-off of the party’s 2027 presidential re-election campaign in Kaduna State.

At the event, the APC National Chairman presented Governor Yusuf with the party’s flag as its governorship candidate for Kano State in the 2027 general elections, marking a significant moment in the party’s preparations for the forthcoming polls.

The presentation signifies the party’s endorsement of Yusuf’s candidacy and places Kano among the key states in the APC’s nationwide mobilisation efforts ahead of the presidential and governorship elections.

The Kaduna rally attracted APC governors, elected officials, party stakeholders and supporters from different parts of the country. Kano’s delegation made a notable appearance, reflecting the state’s strategic importance to the party’s political calculations.

With its large voting population and influential position in Northern Nigeria, Kano is expected to play an important role in the APC’s efforts to mobilise support for President Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.

In his remarks, President Tinubu commended governors across the country for the developmental strides recorded in their respective states, acknowledging their contributions to governance and the delivery of development initiatives.

Governor Yusuf had earlier charged members of the Kano State Presidential and Gubernatorial Campaign Council to intensify grassroots mobilisation and work towards making Kano the state with the highest number of votes for President Tinubu in the forthcoming presidential election.

He urged campaign officials to strengthen their engagement with communities, political stakeholders and voters across the state to ensure effective mobilisation ahead of the elections.

The governor also advised campaign officials to focus on communicating the achievements and programmes of APC administrations rather than engaging in personal attacks, stressing the need for discipline, unity and constructive political engagement.

Governor Yusuf’s participation in the Kaduna campaign flag-off follows his defection from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the APC, a development that has reshaped Kano’s political landscape ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The campaign launch provides an opportunity for APC leaders to consolidate party structures, strengthen coordination among stakeholders and mobilise supporters as political activities gather momentum nationwide.

A Statement by Governor Yusuf’s Spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, indicated that Governor Yusuf’s receipt of the governorship flag, alongside Kano’s participation in the presidential campaign launch, highlights the state’s central place in the APC’s preparations for the 2027 elections.

Yoruba Nation activist Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has taken a jab at Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde over his recent stage-jumping demonstration, accusing him of disrespecting President Bola Tinubu.

In a video circulating on social media on Sunday, October 25, Igboho was quoted as describing Makinde’s action as childish and insulting to the President.

‘He was jumping around like a frog and a mad man, insulting Tinubu, saying Tinubu can’t jump like him as if he doesn’t have a father,’ he reportedly said.

Igboho criticised the governor for challenging Tinubu to demonstrate similar physical agility, insisting that the President deserved respect.

He also warned that he would respond to anyone who insulted Tinubu.

‘If you insult Tinubu, I’ll insult you too,’ he declared, according to the circulating account.

The remarks followed Makinde’s appearance at the South-West town hall meeting of the Makinde/Daura presidential campaign organisation in Akure, Ondo State, on Thursday.

During the event, the governor jumped off the stage while discussing the importance of physical stamina in the 2027 presidential election.

Makinde said he would focus his campaign on candidates’ energy and ability to withstand the demands of the presidency rather than their ages.

He subsequently challenged other presidential candidates to replicate his demonstration.

‘If they can do that, vote for them,’ Makinde told supporters.

Although he did not mention Tinubu by name during the challenge, the demonstration was widely interpreted as a criticism of the President’s physical fitness.

The governor’s action has since attracted reactions from political figures who questioned whether jumping from a stage was an appropriate measure of leadership capacity.

Igboho’s reported remarks add another dimension to the controversy surrounding Makinde’s campaign demonstration.

The Lagos State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2027 election, Dr Kadri Hamzat, will unveil his manifesto on Friday, October 30, outlining his vision and policy priorities for the state if elected governor.

The Director-General of the PBAT-KOH Campaign Council, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, announced this on Sunday at a press conference held at the campaign office in GRA, Ikeja, Lagos.

Obanikoro said the manifesto launch would take place at the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Creative Arts, formerly the National Arts Theatre, Iganmu, Lagos, between 3pm and 5pm, with arrivals scheduled to begin at 11am.

He said the manifesto would articulate Hamzat’s plans for sustaining Lagos’ development, improving public services and expanding opportunities for residents ahead of the 2027 governorship election.

According to Obanikoro, the campaign is anchored on continued shared progress and inclusiveness, with a commitment to building on existing achievements while ensuring that no section of the state is left behind.

He said Lagos, with an estimated population of about 25 million people and limited landmass, faced growing demands in transportation, housing, infrastructure, healthcare, education, security and environmental management, requiring strategic planning and effective governance.

Obanikoro highlighted the contributions of successive administrations, beginning with President Bola Tinubu’s tenure as governor, followed by Babatunde Fashola, Akinwunmi Ambode and the incumbent governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

He cited developments in transportation, including the Blue and Red rail lines, road and bridge construction, improvements in schools and hospitals, housing projects and support for businesses and young people as areas on which the next administration could build.

The campaign director-general said Hamzat’s experience in both the private and public sectors would shape his approach to addressing Lagos’ development challenges.

He disclosed that the candidate earned a PhD in Systems Process Engineering from Cranfield University, England, at the age of 28, and worked with international financial institutions, including Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and Citibank in the United States, before entering public service.

He said Hamzat subsequently served as a commissioner in Lagos State and is currently deputy governor under Sanwo-Olu.

Obanikoro said the combination of private-sector experience and years in government had provided Hamzat with exposure to business management, public administration and the demands of governing a complex metropolitan state.

He added that the campaign council had embarked on consultations with religious leaders, traditional rulers, market women, traders, young people, professionals, artisans, community leaders and other stakeholders to gather their views on the state’s development priorities.

According to him, the consultations were intended to ensure that the manifesto reflects the needs and aspirations of Lagos residents across different religious, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.

‘Every resident and taxpayer has a stake in its future, and every community deserves to be heard,’ Obanikoro said, stressing that inclusiveness must go hand in hand with respect for the heritage of Lagos’ indigenous communities.

He added that the campaign believed leadership should listen to citizens before making decisions that affect their lives.

Obanikoro said the manifesto would be made available for download after its presentation, enabling members of the public to examine the proposals and submit feedback through designated party channels.

Although the physical event would be strictly by invitation because of limited seating, he said the launch would be broadcast live from 3pm to 5pm on Channels Television, ARISE News, TVC, Lagos Television and News Central, as well as digital platforms, including YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.

He urged journalists, party members and other stakeholders to follow the presentation and assess the candidate’s proposals.

The announcement comes as political activities intensify ahead of the 2027 governorship election, with the APC campaign council presenting Hamzat’s candidacy around continuity, inclusiveness and further development of the state.

Obanikoro said the campaign was committed to preserving existing achievements, addressing outstanding challenges and pursuing policies that would improve the lives of Lagos residents.

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) has reported two suspected Ebola cases as the number of people identified through contact tracing following Nigeria’s confirmed infection rises to 53.

The Director-General of the NCDC, Dr Jide Idris, disclosed the development during a press briefing in Abuja on Sunday, October 25, as health authorities intensified efforts to prevent further transmission of the virus.

Idris referred to two additional suspected cases while providing an update on the country’s Ebola surveillance and response activities.

‘We have established two additional suspected cases and 53 primary contact links. They are primary contacts. We have an isolation centre and a quarantine centre,’ he said.

However, other accounts of the briefing indicated that the NCDC had investigated two cases, including the confirmed infection in Abuja and a suspected case in Rivers State that subsequently tested negative.

The precise status of the two additional suspected cases reported by TheCable was therefore not immediately clear.

Providing details of the contact-tracing exercise, Idris said the 53 identified individuals included 44 people associated with the healthcare facility where the confirmed patient received treatment and nine others identified during further investigations.

The additional contacts comprised three household members of the patient, three healthcare workers who attended to her at an earlier medical facility and three personnel involved in collecting samples.

The NCDC said the individuals had been classified according to their exposure risks and placed under monitoring.

According to the agency, none of the 53 identified contacts had tested positive for Ebola or developed symptoms as of the briefing.

Idris explained that public health teams would continue monitoring exposed individuals for 21 days after their last possible exposure.

He also disclosed that approximately 12 public and private laboratories were available to conduct Ebola testing in Nigeria.

The NCDC boss urged healthcare facilities nationwide to strengthen screening, patient assessment and infection prevention measures.

He stressed the importance of providing healthcare workers with adequate personal protective equipment and promptly reporting suspected infections.

Idris also appealed to individuals contacted by public health officials to cooperate with investigators and provide accurate information about their movements, possible exposures and symptoms.

Nigeria confirmed its first Ebola case in the current regional outbreak on October 20 after a woman with recent travel history to Uganda tested positive for the Bundibugyo strain of the virus in Abuja.

According to the World Health Organisation, the woman developed symptoms on October 7 and sought treatment at a private health facility on October 11 before laboratory testing confirmed the infection.

The initial contact-tracing exercise identified 44 people, but the number has since increased to 53 as investigations expanded.

The Federal Government has maintained heightened surveillance and strengthened laboratory testing, isolation arrangements and infection prevention protocols.

Health authorities have also urged Nigerians to remain vigilant, cooperate with public health officials and avoid spreading unverified information.

The two suspected cases cited in Sunday’s reporting should not be regarded as additional confirmed infections without laboratory confirmation.

The people of Attakwu Akegbe Community in Nkanu West Local Government Area of Enugu State have vowed to cast their votes massively for President Bola Tinubu and Gov. Peter Mbah for second terms in office in 2027.

The endorsement was announced during the ‘Attakwu Akegbe Community Mega Rally in Support of President Bola Tinubu and Gov. Peter Mbah,’ held at the community’s Civic Centre on Saturday.

The traditional ruler of Attakwu Akegbe Autonomous Community, Igwe Greg Ugwu, said the endorsement was informed by the infrastructural development and other achievements recorded by Mbah’s administration in the community.

Ugwu said the governor had demonstrated uncommon commitment to the development of the community through the construction of roads and other projects.

The royal father said the community would mobilise massively for Tinubu, Mbah and other candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the 2027 general elections.

He urged political opponents to conduct their campaigns peacefully and allow the electorate to vote according to their conscience.

‘Politics should be played according to the rules. There should be no violence. Allow people to vote freely, and I believe our people will vote for APC candidates,’ he said.

In his welcome address, the President-General of the community, Mr Kingsley Nnamchi, described Mbah’s administration as people-oriented, saying the community had benefited immensely from its developmental projects.

He said the construction of the Amagu-Attakwu-Elf Ring Road, with standard culverts and drainage systems, had improved transportation and boosted economic activities in the agrarian community.

Nnamchi listed other projects to include two smart schools in Akegbe Ugwu and cottage hospitals at Ekeagba and Ndiagu Attakwu, which he said had brought governance closer to the people and improved access to education and healthcare.

The president-general said the community had resolved to reciprocate the governor’s developmental efforts through massive electoral support in 2027.

He, however, appealed to Mbah to provide modern irrigation equipment for women engaged in dry-season farming in the community to increase agricultural productivity, reduce hardship and strengthen food security.

Nnamchi also appealed for the reopening of the Attakwu Nyama sand excavation site, which he described as a major source of livelihood for youths in the community.

The president-general said reopening the site would create employment opportunities, generate revenue for the state and reduce youth restiveness.

Also speaking, a community leader and former Federal Commissioner in the Federal Character Commission, Mr Emeka Ani, described the turnout at the rally as genuine grassroots mobilisation in support of Mbah.

Christ Embassy is set to conclude the 18th edition of its Healing Streams Live Healing Services on Sunday, October 25, 2026, following two days of religious teachings, prayer sessions and testimonies from participants across different countries.

The grand finale, scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. West African Time, will be streamed live on the Healing Streams website and the Healing to the Nations App, allowing participants worldwide to join the programme.

The event, led by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, founder of LoveWorld Incorporated, is expected to feature prayers for families and nations, alongside further teachings and healing ministrations.

During the preceding sessions, Oyakhilome spoke on the nature of the Christian life, the importance of personal faith and the need for believers to renew their minds through the Word of God.

Speaking on the concept of the indestructible life in Christ, he referenced John 3:16, explaining that everlasting life is a present reality for those who believe in Jesus Christ.

‘It’s not a promise; it’s a statement of fact,’ he said, stressing that believers should understand the life they have received through Christ.

He also encouraged participants to develop their personal faith rather than rely solely on the experiences or instructions given to others.

‘Build your own faith and become unshakeable,’ he said.

Drawing from Proverbs 4:18, Oyakhilome described the path of the righteous as one that shines progressively brighter, while referencing Romans 8:28 to reinforce his teaching on faith and the Christian understanding of life’s circumstances.

He further urged participants to renew their thinking through continuous engagement with the Scriptures, emphasising the importance of overcoming fear through faith in God’s Word.

Participants Share Healing Testimonies

The second day of the programme featured testimonies from participants in several countries, including Seychelles, Finland, Poland, the Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka and Madagascar.

According to accounts shared during the event, Florence from Seychelles reported relief from nerve pain that had affected her ability to walk for two years. She said the pain disappeared during a prayer session, enabling her to walk without the discomfort she had previously experienced.

Evelina from Finland also reported an improvement in her condition after living with atopic dermatitis for 28 years. She said she experienced a night without the persistent itching that had troubled her for a long time and subsequently noticed improvements in her skin.

In Poland, a participant identified as Nissi said persistent pain in her lower back and abdomen disappeared during a prayer session led by Reverend Ray Okocha.

Another testimony came from the Solomon Islands, where the family of a participant identified as Zinadine Tu’upou reported improvements in his behaviour and communication following prayers during the programme. According to the account, he had experienced significant mental health challenges for five years.

In Sri Lanka, a participant identified as Rajakaruna said he was able to walk up and down stairs without the pain and heaviness in his legs that had affected him for about a year.

Malala, from Madagascar, also reported changes in her condition after living with breast cancer. She said the lump in her breast had reduced in size, movement in her arms had improved, and the discomfort had eased.

The testimonies were presented as part of the programme’s accounts of healing and personal transformation. The reported medical improvements have not been independently verified.

Global Participation Expected at Finale

The Healing Streams Live Healing Services is an international religious programme organised by Christ Embassy, featuring Bible teachings, prayer sessions and testimonies from participants across different countries.

Organisers have encouraged members of the public to participate in the final session online, with the programme expected to continue its focus on faith, healing and spiritual renewal.

The grand finale takes place on Sunday, October 25, with viewers able to follow the broadcast through [www.healingstreams.tv](http://www.healingstreams.tv) and the Healing to the Nations App.

At least 22 people have been killed and 24 others injured after a bus carrying churchgoers returning from a funeral collided with a lorry on Kenya’s main highway, with authorities warning that the death toll could rise.

The crash occurred between 7am and 8am on Sunday along the highway linking Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, with the coastal city of Mombasa.

According to The Sun, the bus was carrying mourners returning to Mombasa after attending the funeral of their church pastor in western Kenya when the collision occurred.

Hospital official Paul Kisienya confirmed that at least 24 people sustained injuries, while Makueni County Commissioner Abdullahi Khalif warned that the number of fatalities could increase.

Photographs from the scene showed the wrecked bus overturned beside the road, with part of the vehicle torn away by the impact.

The cause of the crash remains unclear, although conflicting preliminary accounts have emerged regarding how the collision happened.

A passenger, Spenza Mudave, said a lorry struck the bus from behind, causing the heavily occupied vehicle to overturn.

However, Kenya’s National Transport and Safety Authority reportedly said the incident may have resulted from improper overtaking, stating that the vehicles collided head-on.

The authority also identified the affected stretch of road as an accident black spot, adding that recommendations had previously been made to address safety concerns.

Hospital superintendent Dr Kevin Wamalwa described the incident as a serious accident.

The tragedy has left families desperately seeking information about relatives who were aboard the bus.

Violet Mwandonyi, a mother of two, told The Sun that she did not know whether her children had survived the crash. She said the passengers had stopped for breakfast in a nearby town shortly before the incident.

‘The last thing I remember is that we were all wailing and calling on motorists to come to our rescue,’ she said.

The accident occurred just weeks after another multiple-vehicle collision on the same highway killed 17 people. That incident involved four vehicles, including a van carrying pilgrims, with brake failure reportedly identified as a likely cause by Kenya’s road safety authorities.

Poor road conditions and speeding have also previously been cited as contributing factors in road accidents across the country.

Rescue and medical teams responded to Sunday’s crash, while officials continued to assess the casualties and circumstances surrounding the collision.

The Katsina State Police Command has arrested four men after uncovering 70 railway sleepers allegedly concealed beneath bags of animal feed in a vehicle.

The suspects, identified as Anas Abdullahi, 25, Nasir Nuhu, Salisu Yusuf and Nuru Bala, were intercepted at about 12.30 am on October 11 along Kurfi-Tsanni Village Road during a routine stop-and-search operation.

The command’s Public Relations Officer, Abubakar Sadiq, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday, adding that the sleepers were hidden behind 17 bags of animal feed in a white J5 vehicle with registration number BAU 821 ZY.

According to Sadiq, preliminary investigations revealed that Nuhu claimed to have received the materials from Anas Moh’d, a man from Bauchi State who is currently at large.

The stolen items were allegedly meant for delivery to another suspect, identified as Umar Bashir, in Katsina.

The police said the four suspects remained in custody, while the vehicle, railway sleepers and animal feed had been recovered as exhibits.

Efforts are ongoing to arrest the fleeing suspects and determine the origin of the vandalised railway materials.

The Commissioner of Police, Ali Umar Fage, reaffirmed the command’s commitment to protecting critical national infrastructure and urged residents to provide useful information to aid the fight against vandalism.

The North-West and South-West could play decisive roles in determining the outcome of Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election, as the two geopolitical zones account for more than 43 per cent of registered voters nationwide.

An analysis of the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) 2026 voter register, published by Vanguard, puts the combined number of registered voters in the two zones at 44,697,685 out of Nigeria’s total of 103,428,715.

The figures show that the North-West has the highest number of registered voters, with 25,083,411, while the South-West ranks second with 19,614,274. The North-Central follows with approximately 16.97 million registered voters.

The figures highlight the electoral importance of the two regions to President Bola Tinubu and opposition politicians seeking to unseat him in 2027.

Tinubu’s political influence in the South-West has played a major role in his rise to power, while his performance in the North-West contributed significantly to his victory in the 2023 presidential election.

According to INEC’s zonal figures for the last election, Tinubu secured 2,652,235 votes in the North-West and 2,542,979 in the South-West. His vote total in the North-West was higher than his tally in his home region.

However, the 2023 election showed that neither region is guaranteed territory for any presidential candidate.

In Lagos State, Tinubu lost to the Labour Party’s Peter Obi by 9,848 votes. Obi secured 582,454 votes against Tinubu’s 572,606, despite the president’s longstanding political influence in the state.

The results in other states also reflected the competitive nature of the election. In Kaduna, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar defeated Tinubu, polling 554,360 votes against the president’s 399,293.

In Kano, Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party emerged ahead of the other major contenders, demonstrating the influence of regional political movements on voting patterns.

Tinubu eventually won the 2023 presidential election with 8,794,726 votes, ahead of Atiku, who received 6,984,520, and Obi, who polled 6,101,533.

Veteran journalist and political analyst Simon Kolawole previously observed that Tinubu’s electoral strength was concentrated in the South-West and the core North.

Kolawole argued that candidates seeking victory would also need substantial support in other regions, particularly the North-Central and South-South.

Beyond securing the highest number of votes, presidential candidates must also satisfy the constitutional requirements for winning an election.

Section 134 of the Nigerian Constitution requires a candidate to obtain the highest number of votes cast and at least one-quarter of the votes cast in no fewer than two-thirds of all states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory.

This means that strong performances in the North-West and South-West alone may not guarantee victory without sufficient support across other parts of the country.

Nigeria’s presidential elections since 1999 have demonstrated the importance of building broad political coalitions. The victories of former presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Muhammadu Buhari, among others, reflected the need to secure support beyond a candidate’s traditional political base.

The 2015 election, in particular, showed how an opposition alliance could defeat an incumbent president by bringing together voters and political interests from different regions.

For Atiku and Obi, the challenge ahead of 2027 will include consolidating their support bases and preventing opposition votes from being divided among competing candidates.

Tinubu, meanwhile, will be seeking to retain the coalition that delivered his victory while responding to concerns over the cost of living, economic hardship and insecurity.

These issues could influence voter decisions in both the North-West and South-West, as well as other regions, when Nigerians head to the polls.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman, Professor Joash O. Amupitan, SAN, has also declared that no algorithm will determine the outcome of the 2027 general election.

Amupitan said the power to choose Nigeria’s leaders rests with the electorate.

He made the remarks at the Artificial Intelligence and Democracy Forum 2026 in Abuja, held under the theme, ‘Safeguarding the 2027 General Elections in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.’

His position comes as political parties and stakeholders prepare for the next general election, with voter mobilisation, technology and electoral integrity expected.

Yoruba nation activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has announced that 20,000 volunteers have joined the Iru Ekun Security Network in Oyo State, calling for greater involvement of traditional rulers in community security.

Igboho made the announcement on Sunday during the inauguration of the network at Mapo Hall in Ibadan, where he urged the volunteers to remain committed to protecting their communities.

He described Iru Ekun as an initiative of traditional rulers in the South-West, insisting that the organisation would continue to play a role in promoting peace and security across the region.

According to a statement from his media office, the network has extended its operations beyond Oyo State to other parts of Yorubaland, as well as parts of Kwara and Niger states.

The statement noted that the Ibadan inauguration followed similar exercises in Osun, Ekiti, Lagos, Ogun and Ondo states, alongside consultations with traditional rulers and community leaders.

It added that the organisation had worked with the Nigerian Army, the Nigeria Police Force, the Department of State Services (DSS) and other security agencies to address abductions, killings and other criminal activities, particularly in the South-West.

The announcement comes amid persistent security challenges across Nigeria, including kidnappings and killings, which have heightened calls for stronger collaboration between communities, traditional institutions and established security agencies.

Commending the large turnout at the launch, Igboho said the participation of residents reflected their readiness to contribute to public safety without discrimination based on ethnicity, religion or political affiliation.

‘The impressive development represents a milestone which indicates genuine interest of Oyo people in active participation to ensure safety and security of residents, irrespective of tribes, religion and political affiliations,’ he said.

Igboho also explained that his recent visit to Abuja was intended to strengthen the network’s security responsibilities. He said the trip followed an invitation he received the previous night and was connected to his collaboration with the Olubadan of Ibadanland.

‘I was in Abuja this morning so that Iru Ekun’s security responsibilities can be further strengthened.’

‘This is because Iru Ekun is the brain child of South West traditional rulers and it will continue to serve its purpose for the peace and effective security of our communities,’ he said.

Explaining the circumstances surrounding the trip, he stated: ‘I received the call last night to come to Abuja. My Abuja trip was as a result of the collaboration with our traditional ruler, the Olubadan of Ibadanland.’

The activist also expressed gratitude to God for what he described as protection against banditry and acknowledged the role of traditional rulers in maintaining peace and security.

‘Firstly I want to thank Almighty God who has all powers, owns us, preserves us. The God that says we won’t be overcomed by bandits. We thank God,’ he said.

He added: ‘After that, we thank all traditional rulers in Nigeria and may God grant them a long life.’

Igboho subsequently commended President Bola Tinubu for providing a platform for members of the initiative to meet and pursue their security objectives.

‘We are also paying homage to the person, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who provided this platform so that we can interact as Iru Ekun members,’ he said.

Addressing the volunteers, he urged them not to be discouraged by those who looked down on their efforts, predicting that their contributions would eventually earn them recognition.

‘Some people are still taking a despicable look at you (Volunteers). Soon they will lobby you for positions,’ he remarked.

The activist also called on Nigerians, including members of the Iru Ekun Security Network, to support Tinubu’s re-election bid and vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming January presidential election.10 catchy headline suggestions
