The 32-year-old forward was forced off in the 44th minute due to a chin injury sustained from a physical collision, making way for Franculino Dju and sparking anxiety over his potential absence for both club fixtures and upcoming international duty. Addressing the incident via HaberTS, Cimsir downplayed the severity of the setback and offered reassurance regarding a swift comeback, stating:

“I don’t think it’s a very important thing. There is no troubled situation.”

Prior to the forced exit, Onuachu had emphatically broken a five-match goal drought by scoring twice. He netted the game’s opener within the opening five minutes before Mohamed Salah converted a penalty to double the lead. Onuachu then sealed his brace in the 22nd minute, while further goals from Ernest Muci and Dju rounded off the comprehensive win for the Turkish Cup holders.

The triumphant result offers vital momentum for the squad as they climb the league table following a sluggish beginning to the campaign. The technical team will closely evaluate Onuachu’s recovery trajectory ahead of their upcoming league clash against Konyaspor next weekend.

During an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today to unpack his “Energy First Presidential Agenda,” Hashim emphasized that his strategy hinges on resuscitating thousands of dormant oil wells rather than sinking scarce public resources into initiatives with immediate lack of revenue returns. Highlighting the scale of untapped capacity, he pointed out that roughly 3,000 previously drilled wells currently sit idle, noting:

“We have oil wells that have already been drilled, assets that have already been discovered and infrastructure that have already been built. Our first task is to put these assets back to work for Nigeria.”

Contrasting spending priorities, Hashim argued that restoring these existing assets should supersede funding major infrastructure projects like the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, which he suggested might not generate government revenue for two decades.

With Nigeria’s current output hovering around 1.5 million barrels per day, Hashim’s targeted four-million-barrel objective represents a projected increase of 2.5 million barrels daily. He asserted that the nation’s primary bottleneck is not a shortage of hydrocarbon resources, but rather the failure to fully optimize pre-existing petroleum infrastructure.

Detailing his operational framework, Hashim noted that an Accord-led administration would systematically evaluate each inactive yet viable well to diagnose downtime factors, injecting targeted capital and technical solutions. Proposed interventions encompass well repairs, workovers, artificial lifts, gathering facility fixes, pipeline restoration, and enhanced evacuation networks. To maintain accountability, he proposed launching a National Production Recovery Dashboard to track every intervention and monitor the additional barrels yielded by the program.

The former Governor of Anambra State underscored that the political class should prioritize substantive ideas capable of unifying the citizenry, elevating living standards, and revitalizing national hope, all while upholding mutual decency, respect, and affection. Elaborating on the event, Obi noted his joint appearance alongside key political figures, stating:

“Yesterday, I joined my brothers, Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, the Presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), and Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, the Leader of the APM, at the commissioning of the party’s Presidential Campaign Office in Abuja.”

He further emphasized the imperative of transcending toxic partisanship, remarking:

“I used the opportunity to emphasise the need for us to build a New Nigeria anchored on Unity, Love, Justice, mutual respect, and inclusion, particularly at a time when political contests can become unnecessarily contentious and divisive. We must insist that our shared love for our country should always be greater than our political differences. This is my call to all contestants in the forthcoming elections.”

Shifting focus toward structural governance and policy-driven discourse, Obi urged that upcoming political races should concentrate on constructive solutions rather than divisive rhetoric. He called for campaigns centered on tackling systemic crises, stressing:

“Let our contest be about ideas and solutions that will address the enormous challenges facing our country today: insecurity, poverty, hunger, inequality, and the growing number of out-of-school children. Let us compete on ideas that will unite our people, improve their lives, and restore hope to our nation, while maintaining respect, decency, and love for one another.”

Concluding his address, the NDC candidate extended warm felicitations to the leadership and stakeholders of the opposition movement for achieving the strategic milestone of opening their national campaign headquarters, stating:

“I congratulate my dear brothers, Governor Seyi Makinde and Governor Bala Mohammed, as well as all the leaders and members of the APM, on this important milestone.”
