The 2027 Ticket Shift: The APC National Organizing Secretary, Alhaji Suleiman Muhammad Argungu, officially disclosed the party’s decision during a thank-you visit by stakeholders from the Argungu Emirate.

Commitment to the Party: Despite being dropped from the ticket, Abubakar-Tafida met with Governor Idris at the Government House and publicly vowed to remain loyal to the APC.

Call for Unity: The Deputy Governor urged his supporters and party faithful across the state to close ranks, ensure victory for President Bola Tinubu, and back his principal’s reelection bid.

Gratitude to Residents: Abubakar-Tafida expressed profound appreciation to the residents of Kebbi State for their unwavering love and prayers throughout his time in office.

Open for Progress: Reaffirming his dedication to public service, he stated, “My door remains open to continue to contribute to the progress of our state.”

Public Outcry: A video circulating on social media captured Davido casually discussing the outcome of the Osun State election with Minister Wike, sparking sharp reactions from political critics.

Sowore’s Accusations: Taking to his social media account, Sowore slammed the singer and political actors generally, accusing them of prioritizing personal and political alignments over public welfare and the lives lost during electoral conflicts.

Callout on Hypocrisy: Sowore criticized Davido for “genuflecting” before political power brokers mere days after high-stakes political campaigning and violence marred the electoral process.

Masks Off: The activist argued that public grandstanding, insults, and manufactured outrage by public figures often vanish behind closed doors when mutual interests converge.

Severe Labeling: Sowore did not hold back in his assessment, branding participating political figures as dissemblers, carpetbaggers, and political hustlers who ultimately look out for themselves at the expense of the public.

Massive Abduction Risks: The security agency warned that planned attacks could result in the mass kidnapping of students, academic staff, non-teaching personnel, and their family members.

Broader Strategic Goals: Beyond individual kidnappings, the DSS noted that these assaults are designed to paralyze academic calendars, maximize fear among the populace, and erode public trust in government security efforts.

International Reputational Damage: The intelligence report highlights that successful attacks on higher education could further tarnish Nigeria’s global image regarding safety and education.

Immediate Security Overhaul: The DSS has urged the state government and relevant authorities to drastically upgrade security infrastructure around all tertiary campuses immediately.

Proactive Defense: Authorities are advised to implement robust preventive measures and countermeasures rather than waiting for an attack to occur.

Coordinated Response: The agency stressed the need for seamless synergy between the state government, security operatives, and emergency response units to safeguard students, staff, and critical institutional assets.
