Nigerians React As Ganduje Celebrates Supreme Court’s Ruling, Affirms Legitimacy Of Nigerian President Bola Tinubu....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Abdullahi Ganduje, the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has commended the Supreme Court’s ruling affirming President Bola Tinubu’s victory, considering it as evidence that the February 25 presidential election was conducted fairly and without manipulation. In a statement issued through his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu, on Thursday, Ganduje extended his congratulations to Tinubu and urged the presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP), Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, to postpone their ambitions until 2031 when Tinubu’s second term would conclude.
Ganduje emphasized that the Supreme Court’s judgment puts to rest all contentions raised by opposition parties. He believes that this verdict will enable President Tinubu to focus on implementing the “Renewed Hope” mandate of the APC for the betterment of Nigerians.
In his words, “Nigeria belongs to all of us, and it is our duty as patriots to combine our efforts to advance the nation. I congratulate both Atiku and Obi for their determined efforts in expanding the boundaries of our democracy and upholding the rule of law.
“This is democracy. Tinubu’s victory represents another triumph for democratic governance in the country. There is still an opportunity for both Obi and Atiku to pursue their presidential ambitions after President Tinubu’s second term in 2031.”
Ganduje also urged all Nigerians, regardless of their political affiliations, to unite and support the President in delivering more dividends of democracy and steering the nation towards sustainable progress.

Edo Govt to Sponsor Late Brig-Gen Braimah’s Children Through University In Emotional Tribute.
Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has approved full educational scholarships for the three children of the late Brigadier General Oseni Omoh Braimah, who died while serving the country.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The Edo State Government said the scholarship will cover the children’s education from their current levels through university, ensuring their academic pursuits continue without disruption.
In a statement issued on Thursday by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Patrick Akhere Ebojele, the government said the gesture reflects its commitment to supporting families of fallen military personnel.
The beneficiaries are Farida Hussain-Braimah, an 18-year-old Software Engineering student at Nile University, Abuja; Amir Hussain-Braimah, a 16-year-old SS3 student; and Yasmeen Hussain-Braimah, a 12-year-old JSS2 pupil.
Governor Okpebholo described the scholarship as both a moral obligation and a demonstration of responsible leadership.
He said the late Brigadier General Braimah made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the nation and deserves to be honoured through meaningful support for his family.
According to the governor, the initiative is aimed at securing the future of the deceased officer’s children while recognising his courage and patriotism.
He added that the move aligns with his administration’s SHINE Agenda, which prioritises education, social welfare, and human capital development.
The Edo State Government also encouraged other states and private organisations to establish similar support systems for families of security personnel who die in active service.
Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has openly backed Aliyu Wadada as his preferred governorship candidate under the All Progressives Congress ahead of the 2027 general elections.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Sule made this known during a meeting with political appointees at the Government House in Lafia, a move seen as an early signal of political succession plans in the state.
Wadada, who currently represents Nasarawa West in the 10th Senate, recently dumped the Social Democratic Party for the APC, further fuelling speculations about his governorship ambition.
The governor also faulted public officials who parade routine duties like salary payments, road construction and provision of basic amenities as landmark achievements.
Speaking on Wednesday at the 59th inaugural lecture of Nasarawa State University, Sule said governance should go beyond basic responsibilities and focus on policies that directly improve people’s lives.
According to him, leaders must think beyond conventional projects and pursue solutions that bring lasting impact to citizens.
Using his administration as an example, Sule recalled how frequent fire outbreaks at a major market used to force the government into repeated relief payouts to traders.
He said rather than continuing temporary interventions, his government chose to build a modern market to permanently tackle the problem, adding that there has been no report of another fire incident since the reconstruction.
Sule also highlighted the construction of a bridge in Auta near Keffi, which he said has greatly reduced years of devastating flooding in the area.
At the event, Ike Neliaku praised Sule’s development strides, especially road and infrastructure projects across key parts of the state.
Also speaking, Emmanuel Dandaura stressed the need for institutions to align communication with performance, warning that failure to do so could erode public trust.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the Sultan’s media team, through Prince Bashir Adefaka, warned an American commentator identified as Mac Arnold to stop spreading what it described as baseless and defamatory claims.
