Wike Has Not Borrowed Money Behind National Assembly’s Back – Reps Spokesman.
House of Representatives Deputy Spokesperson Philip Agbese has dismissed claims by Senator Ireti Kingibe that FCT Minister Nyesom Wike secured loans without legislative backing.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Expounding on the structural mechanisms of governance, the lawmaker noted that public borrowing is inherently regulated by rigid constitutional, statutory, and administrative protocols involving multiple state organs. Defending the Minister’s compliance record, Agbese stated that Wike has committed no legal infractions regarding government loans and that claims suggesting transactions were executed covertly are entirely unfounded. He highlighted that the FCT Administration remains transparent, regularly subjecting its budgetary frameworks and financial plans to legislative review, alongside making mandatory appearances before relevant committees of the National Assembly. Additionally, Agbese clarified that a rising debt profile alone does not constitute proof of illicit borrowing, reinforcing the principle that securing capital for public infrastructure is legally permissible as long as designated bureaucratic channels and statutory approvals are meticulously observed.
Concluding his remarks, the House Deputy Spokesperson rejected the notion that the FCT Administration operates outside the purview of legislative accountability, describing Wike as one of the most compliant public officials under the current oversight framework. He advised political actors and fellow lawmakers to anchor their critiques of public finance on concrete transactions and verifiable official documents rather than generalized political rhetoric. Finally, Agbese challenged Senator Kingibe and any other concerned parties to pinpoint specific loan transactions if genuine suspicions exist, thereby allowing the appropriate authorities to furnish the exact documentation and statutory authorizations governing those financial agreements.

“ELECTORAL EARTHQUAKE: PETER OBI DROPS BOMBSHELL CLAIM THAT INEC CHAIRMAN SECRETLY WORKED FOR THE OPPOSITION IN 2023!”
During an interview with Arise News, Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate Peter Obi alleged that Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman Mahmood Yakubu worked on behalf of the political opposition during the 2023 general elections. Obi noted that while Nigerians and the international community trusted INEC’s assurances and took the electoral process for granted in 2023, a similar mistake will not be repeated in 2027, emphasizing that voters will ensure the right steps are taken themselves.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a separate interview with Arise Television on Thursday, Peter Obi outlined his economic strategy for the 2027 election, pledging to reduce fuel pump prices if elected. The former Anambra State governor asserted that the current high cost of petrol is driven by corruption within the fuel subsidy regime, rather than the subsidy removal itself. He promised to eliminate this corruption, which he claims will lead to a significant drop in fuel costs. Additionally, Obi rejected the notion that the removal of the fuel subsidy has exacerbated poverty in the Northern region, attributing the ongoing economic hardship and insecurity to other, separate factors.

“BOMBSHELL REACTION: BUHARI’S EX-AIDE SPEAKS OUT AS OPAY ARRESTS VIRAL SHUTDOWN LIAR!”
Bashir Ahmad, formerly an aide to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, has urged OPay Digital Services Limited to reconsider keeping student Haifa Abubakar in custody following her arrest for spreading a false social media rumor that the fintech company was shutting down. Taking to on Thursday, Ahmad acknowledged that the student’s initial actions were wrong and indefensible, but questioned the rationale behind her continued detention since she reportedly fulfilled the company’s stipulations by deleting the misleading post and issuing an apology.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
While firmly condemning the original publication of the fabricated report, Ahmad raised concerns regarding the sequence of events that transpired after the preliminary demands were met. He pointed out that OPay had originally stipulated that the student needed to delete the erroneous statement and issue an apology within a designated timeframe. According to his assessment of the circumstances, she fulfilled these exact requirements by retracting the post and offering an apology. Consequently, he questioned the rationale behind proceeding with her apprehension when the institutional directives had seemingly been satisfied. He emphasized that the situation would warrant a different response had she completely ignored or defied the warnings issued by the platform.
Directing his appeal toward the management of the fintech enterprise, Ahmad portrayed the detained individual as a young scholar who committed an error in judgment but actively attempted to rectify it. He suggested that maintaining her ongoing detention provides minimal constructive value and risks causing undue damage to her academic and personal future. Furthermore, he distinguished between criticizing a wrongful action and condemning an individual’s entire character, advocating for a balance between institutional accountability and compassion for those who demonstrate remorse. He ultimately called upon OPay to let the experience function as an educational lesson rather than an event that permanently disrupts a student’s life.
