Atiku Abubakar, the 2023 presidential candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has expressed his willingness to support Peter Obi if the party decides to nominate him as their candidate for the 2027 elections.

In a recent interview with BBC Hausa Service, Atiku stated that he would abide by the party's decision if it chooses to zone the presidential ticket to the South-East, reiterating his prior stance before the 2023 elections.

He emphasized that he contested in 2023 because the ticket was open to all party members but would support the party's decision for the next election cycle.

Atiku mentioned that a merger between the PDP and the Labour Party is a possibility. He highlighted his recent meeting with Peter Obi as indicative of potential collaboration, noting that such discussions are common among opposition parties and beneficial for Nigeria's democracy.

Atiku dismissed concerns that the selection of a presidential candidate could hinder merger talks, asserting that it would not be an issue. He also reaffirmed his commitment to active politics, citing the need to address the suffering of Nigerians and his dedication to improving the country.

Atiku and Obi's recent private meeting in Abuja has fueled speculation about a coalition for the 2027 elections. This meeting, along with Obi's separate meetings with former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido and former Senate President Bukola Saraki, has stirred public interest.

Obi, who left the PDP in 2022 to run for president under the Labour Party, finished third in the 2023 elections. Atiku attributed his loss to Bola Tinubu to Obi's departure from the PDP, arguing that their combined votes could have secured a victory.

This recent interaction marks the first public engagement between Atiku and Obi since the election, sparking discussions about future political alliances.

The decision to halt a planned mass wedding for orphaned girls in Niger State, Nigeria, has sparked diverse reactions among the local population.

The initiative, launched by Abdulmalik Sarkindaji, Speaker of the Niger State House of Assembly, aimed to marry off 100 girls who lost their parents to banditry in Mariga Local Government Area. Sarkindaji had committed to covering all expenses, including dowries, for the event set for May 24 in Bangi, Mariga LGA.

The announcement, made last Friday in Minna, garnered significant attention and mixed feelings from the community.

The plan involved selecting 100 brides from a pool of 170 eligible girls, with a ceremony that would be attended by notable figures such as Governor Mohammed Bago and the Emir of Minna, Mohammed Barau. Aminu Daurawa, head of the Hisbah Board of Kano State, was slated to oversee the proceedings.

However, the initiative faced a major setback when Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy Ohanenye, intervened, raising legal and ethical concerns about the ages and consent of the girls involved.

Minister Ohanenye questioned the legality of the mass wedding, emphasizing the need to ensure that the girls were of legal age and had given their consent in accordance with Nigerian laws, including the Child Rights Act.

She subsequently filed a complaint with the police and sought a court order to suspend the wedding until a thorough investigation could be conducted. "I have filed for an injunction to prevent him from doing whatever he intends to do on May 24th, until a thorough investigation is conducted on those girls, to determine whether they gave their consent, their ages, and who is marrying them," she stated.

This development has opened a broader conversation about the rights and welfare of orphaned girls in the region. Readers are encouraged to engage with this story by commenting, liking, and sharing their views on the matter.

Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate for 2023, criticized the sudden demolition of properties along the Oniru corridor, including parts of Lagos State’s iconic landmarks, for the Coastal Highway project, citing a lack of proper notification.

He attributed Nigeria’s struggle to attract foreign direct investment partly to the government's flawed decisions, particularly regarding the Lagos-Calabar Highway. Atiku pointed fingers at President Bola Tinubu and Gilbert Chagoury, alleging their influence in expediting the project, which he claimed violated procurement regulations and involved conflicts of interest.

He emphasized the hurried nature of the project, its exorbitant cost, and the adverse impact on the economy amidst Nigeria's economic crisis. Atiku highlighted the disregard for local businesses, asserting that such treatment deters investors. He criticized Tinubu's management of the economy and questioned the effectiveness of his foreign investment efforts.

Atiku concluded by pointing out the flaws in the project's ex*****on, including incomplete assessments and improper funding allocation.

The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ola Olukoyede, narrated an incident where a 17-year-old successfully hacked into his personal computer and bank account while being interrogated at his office in Lagos.

The anti-graft agency chairman made this known in a chat with editors at the EFCC Headquarters, Jabi, Abuja, last Tuesday.

Olukoyede recounted inviting the 17-year-old for questioning at his own office, only to witness the young hacker effortlessly bypass the security measures of his locked computer right before his eyes.

He said, “I brought into my Lagos office a seventeen-year-old boy who is studying History and Anthropology. He is in the 200 level. He is not doing anything science-related. The guy sat in my office in Lagos and demonstrated some things to me on my laptop.

“He asked for my number, I gave him my number and through my number, he got my BVN. He then mentioned the name of my account number to me at the bank. I didn’t tell him anything.”

According to him, the country must take all necessary measures to discourage these young individuals, as their actions could lead to imprisonment or even fatal consequences.

“The problem is, I see crime in that, and I also see opportunities in it. So, if you leave these guys, we don’t make them know that what they are doing is wrong, if you leave them, they will continue to see it as a way of life to make money.”

He mentioned that due to their young ages, the EFCC would administer light sentences to punish youths for the cybercrimes they committed, while also focusing on helping them change their orientation.

“We plead for light sentences so that we can reorientate them and that’s part of what we’re doing. What joy will I derive from sending a 17-year-old boy to jail? You have destroyed his future. You have destroyed his career.

“Sometimes they give them options of fines and all of that conviction, so we bring them in, lecture them and talk to them.”

In a bold demonstration of his skills, the boy confidently informed Olukoyede that he could transfer up to 10 million naira from any account in a single transaction.

He said the 17-year-old boy, when he was done, said, “Look, oga, I can make 10 million now. I will demonstrate it to you. I will move money from your account to mine.

“I said no, don’t do that in my office and he was ready to do that. When he opened my laptop, I didn’t give him the key to my laptop and he had access.”

When questioned about his involvement in cybercrime, the boy explained that his parents, who are both farmers, were unable to work on their farm due to security concerns.

“He has two younger ones. One is in JSS2 and the other is in SSS2. He is the one feeding his parents and responsible for the payment of tuition for his younger ones.

“I saw a Bill Gates in that guy.”

Olukoyede, however, assured the boy that he would take responsibility for his schooling if he was able to stop the criminal act.

“I told my family, we are going to do that.

“I spoke to one of my friends who is also ready to help take up the schooling of the SSS 2 guy. So I’m still looking for someone who will take up the one for the JSS 2 sibling.”

This is not the first time the EFCC chairman has revealed the anti-graft agency’s plan to rehabilitate convicted internet fraudsters with reduced sentences.

Addressing a delegation of the National Association of University Students in March 2024, he said “when you think deeply, that tag ‘ex-convict’ is not a good thing. You can never tell where you will find yourself tomorrow, and they will want to profile you and discover that you are an ex-convict.”

“So, it is even in the interest of the youth that the EFCC is doing what it is doing to prevent them from indulging in the heinous act of cybercrime.”

Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, issued a stern warning to Nigerians: either accept the proposed electricity tariff hike or brace for a nationwide blackout within three months.

Speaking before the Senate Committee on Power, he emphasized the necessity of the increase to prevent a complete collapse of the power sector.

Adelabu stressed the need for substantial annual investment, around $10 billion for a decade, to rejuvenate the nation's electricity infrastructure.

He highlighted the importance of attracting investors by establishing commercial pricing, citing the current subsidy burden of N2.9 trillion as unsustainable due to limited government resources.

STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

IDA Summit: VP Shettima Departs Abuja for Nairobi

*Leads Nigeria's ambition for robust global financing

Vice President Kashim Shettima will depart Abuja today to represent President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the crucial International Development Association (IDA21) Heads of State Summit taking place tomorrow in Nairobi, Kenya.

The high-level gathering, hosted by Kenyan President William Ruto, will see African leaders unite to call for an ambitious replenishment of the World Bank's International Development Association (IDA) concessional lending arm.

VP Shettima is expected to take a lead role in advocating for Nigeria's vision of a transformative IDA21 financing package to accelerate development across the continent over the 2024-2026 period.

In the draft "Nairobi IDA Communique" to be considered at the summit, African heads of state outline urgent priorities for IDA's next three-year funding cycle, including building human capital, creating jobs, enhancing energy and digital access, building climate resilience, and promoting sustainable growth.

While thanking donors for contributing $23.5 billion to the current IDA20 cycle, the communique states that this level of financing is inadequate to meet the massive investment needs. It calls on "IDA partners/donors to step up and ensure a robust replenishment for IDA21."

Vice President Shettima is expected to emphasize that partners like IDA will be critical to realizing Nigeria's economic transformation agenda, with the country's young population requiring substantial investments in sectors like job creation, energy access, and human capital development.

The Nairobi summit follows previous IDA gatherings in Abidjan in 2021 and Dakar in 2022 where African leaders united to call for an ambitious IDA20 replenishment from donors.

Prophet Metuh, a Nigerian and leader of the No Gree For Satan Ministry, initially predicted the world's end on April 25. However, he later reversed his prediction, attributing the continuation of the world to prayers from himself and his church members during a 21-day fasting period.

Metuh stated on his social media account that divine mercy was granted after their intercession, extending the time for humanity. This reversal comes after Metuh had previously claimed to have received visions from the Lord about the end times, emphasizing the certainty of the impending events.
