The presidency has fired back at former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar over his 2027 presidential campaign proposal to reopen Nigeria’s land borders to drive regional trade and support cross-border commerce.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Responding to the statement—which noted Atiku as the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate—Sunday Dare, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Public Communication, pointed out that the federal government already reopened the majority of the nation’s land borders back on March 14, 2024.
Highlighting further administrative actions, Dare referenced President Tinubu’s formal opening of the Kamba border in Kebbi State on February 14, 2026, noting that the decision has yielded positive economic and diplomatic results. He challenged Atiku to clarify which specific borders he intends to target and demanded transparency on whether his policy involves dismantling current security frameworks.
Emphasizing the distinction between open commerce and unchecked access, Dare stated that an open border must not equate to a lawless one. He underscored that modern governance requires balancing trade facilitation with strict safeguards against arms trafficking, terrorism, smuggling, and human trafficking.
The presidency concluded by stressing that as transnational security threats grow, robust border controls remain vital to national defense, urging that political debates on the economy and security must remain rooted in facts and practical policy alternatives rather than outdated premises.

The public feud between Bashir El-Rufai and his elder brother, House of Representatives member Mohammed Bello El-Rufai—sons of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai—has escalated further after Bashir issued a direct threat to destroy him.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Taking to X on Saturday, Bashir launched an attack on his brother, who represents Kaduna North Federal Constituency, and accused him of drug abuse. Although the precise catalyst remains unclear, the conflict is believed to stem from Bello’s political alignments in Kaduna State. In a subsequent post, Bashir explicitly wrote, “I will destroy you & climb my bed and sleep peacefully”.
The public outburst drew immediate concern from observers. Politician Uche Rochas cautioned Bashir in the comments that trying to ruin his own brother would only drag their family name through the mud and self-destruct his own reputation, prompting Bashir to unrepentantly reply, “Sorry sir. Had to be said”. Another user, Dr. Ibrahim Yaji, similarly condemned the threats, stating he could never trust someone who would treat their own blood in such a manner. Bashir dismissed the criticism, telling the user that they likely grew up with a good brother.
