The senator representing Borno South Senatorial District, Ali Ndume, on Monday, disclosed why he does not wear the trademark crested cap of President Bola Tinubu.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Ndume made the remarks on Monday during an appearance on Arise Television’s Prime Time, where he clarified that his decision not to wear the president’s signature cap did not mean he disliked it.

The lawmaker, however, maintained that political loyalty should be genuine rather than demonstrated through outward appearances or symbolic gestures.

According to him, some politicians wear Tinubu’s cap publicly but act against the president or his interests behind closed doors.

“It’s not that I don’t like Tinubu’s crested cap. You don’t have to fake the liking of somebody. You wear that cap in the afternoon and trample upon it in the night?

“Many of them are doing that. You don’t have to show that you like somebody. It’s within you,” Ndume said.

The senator also expressed concern over what he described as widespread hypocrisy within the political class, accusing some politicians of prioritising their personal interests over those of their party.

He argued that the All Progressives Congress (APC) faced greater challenges from within its ranks than from opposition parties.

While acknowledging that opposition parties remained resilient and continued to make bold political claims, Ndume insisted that the ruling party’s internal problems posed a more serious threat.

He compared the APC to a product whose marketers were failing to promote it effectively because they were more concerned about their personal interests than the party’s success.

“We have a product. The marketers are not honest. Those who are supposed to sell our product are busy caring so much about themselves, not about selling their product,” the senator added.

Ndume’s comments highlight his concerns about internal divisions within the ruling party and the need for its members to demonstrate genuine commitment rather than rely on symbolic displays of loyalty to the president.

The Osun State Police Command has declared Nurudeen Alowonle, a factional chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), wanted over the murder of Accord Party chieftain Olalekan Oyeyemi, popularly known as Emir.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Zungura, announced this on Monday while addressing journalists at the command headquarters in Osogbo.

Zungura disclosed that six suspects had been arrested in connection with Oyeyemi’s killing, which occurred on September 13, 2026, at Mayfair Motor Park in Ile-Ife.

The police commissioner added that security operatives were also searching for another NURTW figure, Adeyemi Ojo, popularly known as Sibi, who was allegedly involved in the incident.

According to Zungura, preliminary investigations indicated that Alowonle and Ojo allegedly mobilised the suspects to carry out the attack.

“Alowonle is declared wanted. The Command is intensifying efforts to apprehend Nurudeen Alowonle, Adeyemi Ojo, aka Sibi, and other suspects currently at large who are alleged to have participated in the heinous crime,” the commissioner said.

One of the six arrested suspects is Hammed Olalekan Dauda, also known as Jagaban, who was allegedly found in possession of a locally modified firearm.

Zungura said Dauda reportedly confessed during interrogation that Alowonle had given him the weapon.

“During interrogation, he (Dauda) reportedly confessed that the firearm was given to him by one Nurudeen Alowonle,” the police commissioner stated.

He further alleged that Alowonle and Ojo were responsible for mobilising all the suspects linked to the attack.

Another suspect arrested by the police is Waliyu Adejare, popularly known as Jay Jay, who was identified as Alowonle’s personal assistant.

The other suspects were identified as Tijani Ismail, Akinsola Ekundayo, Sijuade Moruf and Ayeni Adegbola.

The police also revealed that four of the six suspects arrested were operatives of the Osun Amotekun Corps.

Oyeyemi, an Accord Party chieftain and political associate of Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, was shot dead at Mayfair Motor Park on September 13 amid a dispute reportedly linked to control of motor parks across the state.

Following the incident, Adeleke ordered the suspension of NURTW activities throughout Osun State. He also directed rival transport union factions to vacate motor parks and instructed security agencies to apprehend individuals suspected of involvement in the killing.

The governor subsequently announced plans to reintroduce the Park Management System to regulate the administration of motor parks and garages across the state.

The police said efforts were ongoing to apprehend Alowonle, Ojo and other suspects still at large as investigations into the killing continued.

President Bola Tinubu has commended his son, Seyi Tinubu, for mobilising young Nigerians through the City Boys Movement and rallying their support for his political ambition ahead of the 2027 presidential election.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Tinubu made the commendation during the inauguration of the City Boys Movement in Abuja, where he expressed pride in his son’s efforts to organise young people in support of his re-election bid.

The president revealed that he had received several phone calls in recent weeks from people seeking clarification about Seyi’s political activities and the position he intended to contest.

According to Tinubu, he told those who contacted him that his son was not pursuing a personal political office but was instead championing his father’s political cause.

The president noted that Seyi had taken the initiative to engage young Nigerians within his age group, listen to their concerns and mobilise them without demanding a political title or government appointment in return.

Tinubu described his son’s approach as humble and commended him and other members of the movement for their efforts.

Speaking at the event, the president said: “Permit me a personal moment for my son, Seyi. I’ve watched what you started with City Boy, and I got some calls within the last few weeks asking me what Seyi is running for. I said he’s running after his father.

“You did it humbly, you did not ask for a title or an office, you went to the young people, your age mates, your group, you listened to them and you organised them. I am proud of all of you.”
