  It's Not a Boxing Tournament: Senate President Akpabio Emphasizes Collaboration Over Confrontation with Executive Senate President Godswill Akpabio has reaffirmed the National Assembly’s commitment to collaborative governance, declaring that lawmakers were "not elected to fight the Executive" but to advance national development through bipartisan cooperation. His remarks, made in a feature documentary  marking President Bola Tinubu’s two-year anniversary, underscore a shift from political antagonism to policy-driven synergy between Nigeria’s legislative and executive arms.  

  The Kano government has suspended the practice of street vendors using loudspeakers to sell traditional medicines, as well as the inclusion of traditional medicine advertisements in Hausa films. The Kano State Censorship Board has directed that all promotions of traditional medicine in Hausa films, as well as those broadcasted by street vendors via public address systems, be ceased.

Atiku, on his own, cannot scrape together 500,000 votes nationally, while Obi depends entirely on sympathy and sentiment to thrive . Atiku keeps deceiving himself, thinking Atikulates make up most of the 6.9 million votes he received as PDP candidate in 2023. He ignores his own history, like his 2007 run as AC candidate, his 2011 PDP primary defeat, or his 2014 APC defeat. Obi’s 2023 votes came from sympathy, mostly from southeast and southsouth PDP supporters who felt betrayed by the party picking Atiku over a southern candidate. He also gained from protest over APC’s Muslim-Muslim ticket of Tinubu and Shettima, with northern Christians and others fearing Nigeria’s Islamization. Come 2027, things have changed. Neither southern nor northern Christians, nor even the Christian Association of Nigeria, mention Islamization. Those who backed a southern candidate in 2023 still insist on such for 2027.

Fast forward to yesterday, and the same script played out in Abuja. The elites gathered to celebrate IBB, a man whose hands once gripped the levers of power and snuffed out the hopes of a nation on June 12. I loved that his unenviable role in our democratic history was recounted to him, as Asiwaju reminded him that he had the chance t...
