President Donald Trump, in a series of posts on 𝕏 between October 31 and November 1, condemned what he described as continued killings in Nigeria and warned that the US military could intervene if the Federal Government failed to halt attacks by jihadist groups.

A former Rivers State governor and a prominent figure in the opposition African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition, Rotimi Amaechi, has called on Nigerians to register a decisive vote in the 2027 elections to secure the defeat of President Bola Tinubu.
According to Amaechi, who in August declared his interest to contest for President in 2027, the fact that President Tinubu was defeated in Lagos State in 2023 showed that he is not invincible.

The Executive Director of Yiaga, Samson Itodo, said on Monday’s edition of Channels Television’s The Morning Brief: ‘On result management, the IReV portal performed optimally, and results were uploaded promptly. By 8 p.m. on Saturday, 98% of polling unit results were already uploaded. The collation process was seamless.

Over 200 fighters have been killed in recent clashes between rival jihadist factions in the Lake Chad basin, marking one of the deadliest confrontations between Boko Haram and the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) in years.
Intelligence officials, militia leaders, and jihadist sources confirmed the figures to AFP on Monday, describing the fighting as a brutal struggle for territorial dominance along the fringes of Lake Chad.
The deadly confrontation reportedly erupted on Sunday in Dogon Chiku, a strategic settlement on the lake’s shores.
Senator Ned Nwoko, representing the Delta North Senatorial District, claims that a “syndicate of pull-down-Ned” group is capitalizing on the current controversy surrounding his wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, to damage his reputation.
Nwoko made the allegation in a statement released on Monday by his Communication and Technical Action Team in Abuja. He said individuals who had long targeted him were now taking advantage of the situation to portray him negatively before the international community.
He said, “Beyond this, the talk about me grabbing land in my hometown is false and unfortunate. The truth is that I was allocated a piece of land, for which I made a genuine offer of payment, to establish the University of Sports, a project that exists today and serves the community.
