Former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, has accused President Bola Tinubu, African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, and Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer Peter Obi of being more concerned about attaining power than addressing Nigeria’s challenges.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Lamido made the remarks while speaking on Channels Television’s *Politics Today* programme on Friday. He argued that none of the three prominent political figures was offering the kind of leadership the country needed.

The former governor urged Nigerians to evaluate political candidates based on their capacity, character and ability to tackle the country’s problems rather than their personal ambitions.

He also warned that increasing hostility among supporters of major political figures was undermining national unity, the economy and the spirit of togetherness among Nigerians.

According to Lamido, the political atmosphere was becoming dominated by personal attacks, insults and abuses instead of meaningful policy discussions and conversations about national development.

He said, “Both Peter Obi, Atiku and Tinubu are simply obsessed with power.

“Whoever wins Nigeria loses, that’s my problem. Whoever wins, in terms of our unity, our economy, our love as country of brothers and sisters, it’s all gone down.”

Expressing concern about the political atmosphere in northern Nigeria, Lamido alleged that propaganda, hate campaigns and incitement had become widespread ahead of the elections.

He noted that the trend represented a departure from the traditional style of political campaigns, which he said placed greater emphasis on love, unity and peaceful coexistence.

He stated, “The tension now because of the election, if you know the mountain of propaganda that we have in the North, you know, the hate campaign, the incitement, I think we have gone wrong.”

The former governor further said the growing political hostility was making it increasingly difficult for Nigerians to understand the issues surrounding the elections.

Veteran Nollywood actor Adebayo Salami, popularly known as Oga Bello, has opened up about the challenges men encounter in marriage.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to the actor, infidelity remains one of the major issues responsible for conflicts in many marriages.

Oga Bello argued that women tend to place greater emphasis on their husbands’ unfaithfulness than on other shortcomings they may exhibit.

The veteran actor made the remarks during an interview with Oyinmomo TV, where he also discussed his personal marital experiences and life as a father of 18.

He admitted that there were periods when he was not comfortable with having a large family.

However, the actor said he had eventually accepted his family situation as his destiny.

Despite coming to terms with his experience, Oga Bello disclosed that he regularly advises his children against practising polygamy.

He said:

“Women give men a lot of problems. We men don’t really give women problems. If you bring ten couples who have issues together, like eight will talk about cheating. Even if the man is very responsible, she won’t look at that. She can even condone the irresponsibility but not cheating.

“There were times I wasn’t proud of Polygamy it but now I’ve accepted it as destiny. I have accepted my large family as destiny but I still warn my children against polygamy because their destiny is not that of Bello.

“There are dangers in marrying two or three wives. Our great mothers even tried, not to talk of children of this generation.”

The controversial singer made the claim in an Instagram post on Friday, stating that he woke up to discover that ₦100 million had been credited to his bank account.

Portable attributed the alleged payment to Yayi, claiming that the senator had instructed someone to transfer the money to him in appreciation of his support during the party’s campaign activities.

The singer also recalled being informed earlier that Yayi was looking for him, although he initially suspected that those who brought the information were attempting to deceive him.

In his post, Portable wrote:

“My dearest fans! I just woke up to an alert of N100m from Yayi! IBD Dende, oga mi! God bless you. Thank you! Yayi instructed them to send me the money. I took a nap, and God saved me from death.

“When I woke up today, I remembered that IBD had asked me to go home yesterday and said he would reach out to me. But some of my senior street brothers and street politicians came to tell me that Yayi was looking for me.

“Are you the one to tell me that Yayi is looking for me?’ I asked. They wanted to scam me, just as they did when Yayi sent money previously. I did not get a dime then.

“Thank you, Lord! Yayi has sent N100m. Thank you, IBD Dende. May your children be glorious! May you live long, my daddy. It shall be well with you. N100m is not a small amount at all!”

Recall that in October 2026, Portable performed at an APC rally held at the Onikan Stadium in Lagos on October 13, where he entertained supporters of President Bola Tinubu.
