Presidency Names Interim Leadership As Tinubu And Shettima Remain Abroad.

Both leaders are currently overseas, with Tinubu on a two-week working vacation since October 3 and Shettima on an official visit to Sweden.
Responding to public inquiries about the nation’s leadership, the Presidency reassured that there is no leadership vacuum. In a statement signed by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, it emphasized that the President and Vice President remain engaged with national matters despite being away.
The statement recalled a similar situation under the previous administration of President Muhammadu Buhari when both he and then-Vice President Yemi Osinbajo were abroad for separate engagements. It noted that during such periods, government operations continued smoothly, with key officials and state organs functioning as usual.
The Presidency also cited instances earlier this year when Tinubu and Shettima were both out of the country simultaneously, asserting that the government’s machinery did not halt. It reiterated that the Constitution allows for the nation’s leadership to be carried out virtually and does not mandate the physical presence of the President or Vice President in the country at all times.

The Department of State Services (DSS) has successfully secured a death sentence against Ibrahim Usman, widely known as Dan Iyali, for his role in the kidnapping and murder of three individuals in Sokoto State.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
-
The Conviction: Usman was found guilty on a four-count charge at the High Court of Justice of Sokoto State, sitting in the Sokoto Judicial Division. His charges included criminal conspiracy, kidnapping, culpable homicide punishable by death, and voluntarily causing grievous hurt without provocation.
-
The Crime: These offenses stemmed from the abduction and subsequent killing of three people in Sokoto State in September 2023. Usman stood trial alongside other accomplices who remain at large.

Recent Legal Precedents: This ruling follows a similar milestone in June 2026, when the same Sokoto High Court sentenced three other men—Yusuf Muhammad (a Nigerien national), Jabbi Alhaji Yalle, and Kabiru Muhammad—to death by hanging for terrorism, arms trafficking, and cross-border criminal activities following their arrest by the DSS Counter Terrorism Unit.

Readiness Assessment Tour: The announcement was made following an assessment visit by INEC Chairman Professor Joash Amupitan and his team to Kaduna State. The visit is part of a broader six-zone national tour across the country to evaluate field operations and prepare for the 2027 polls.

Grassroots Focus: Speaking at the North-West Zonal Interactive Meeting, Amupitan emphasized that election success is determined in the field—at local government areas, registration area centers, and polling units—rather than just in Abuja headquarters. He urged staff to address operational bottlenecks and maintain strict neutrality.

New Registrations: The Chairman disclosed that three phases of Continuous Voter Registration have yielded 10,772,421 new registrations, pending Automated Biometric Identification System verification. He stressed the need to eliminate distribution hurdles so citizens are not disenfranchised.

Technology and Logistics: INEC is currently refining its technological systems, including voter verification, result transmission processes, and the newly introduced eEC8A Result Management System. The commission is also implementing a “Zero-Failure” logistics strategy to ensure the early deployment of materials and proper security coordination.
