The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has sharply criticized the Anambra 2025 governorship election, citing widespread vote-buying and systemic failures. The party warns that these issues pose a serious threat to Nigeria’s democracy and are a troubling sign for the upcoming 2027 general elections.
This criticism came barely hours after President Bola Tinubu congratulated Governor Chukwuma Soludo on his re-election, praising the process as credible and the outcome as a testament to Soludo’s “visionary leadership.”
However, the ADC views the situation quite differently in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Bolaji Abdullahi, on Sunday, November 9.

Data from the report revealed that gross profit from crude and gas sales decreased to N1.08 trillion during the year, from N1.90 trillion in 2023, representing a 43.32 percent decline.
The 2024 performance was also 26.3 percent below the government’s budgeted target of N1.46 trillion, underscoring the persistence of weak fiscal inflows from the petroleum sector despite policy reforms aimed at boosting revenue.

A wanted drug lord 40-year-old Yussuf Abayomi Azeez has been arrested by operatives of a special operations unit of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA) Ikeja Lagos while on his way to Saudi Arabia for Umrah, a holy pilgrimage, after months of intelligence and surveillance on him and his criminal drug activities.
The drug kingpin had been arrested and charged for drug offences in the United Kingdom but jumped bail and escaped to Nigeria. Soon after settling down in Lagos, he set up a massive clandestine laboratory in the Lekki area of the state for the production of Colorado, a deadly synthetic cannabis and other illicit substances.
At about 6:30am on Thursday 6th November 2025, Yussuf walked into the waiting hands of NDLEA operatives at the Lagos airport while attempting to board his flight to Saudi Arabia for Umrah. He was swiftly driven to his 17 Vincent Eku street, Ogombo, Lekki, clandestine laboratory which has been under surveillance for a while. At the time of his arrest, Yussuf was found in company of another suspect, 43-year-old Abideen Kekere-Ekun.

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Hon. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, has called on religious, community, and political leaders in the country to rally behind President Bola Tinubu to end terrorism in the country.
Oyintiloye, a former lawmaker, made this statement while speaking with newsmen on Sunday in Osogbo.

The re-elected Governor of Anambra State, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, has conveyed heartfelt thanks to the state’s residents, calling his renewed mandate both a “victory” and a “historic moment” for Anambra.

Addressing supporters, the governor said the people of Anambra had demonstrated overwhelming confidence in his administration. He contrasted the 2025 election with his first victory in 2021, when turnout was significantly lower.
