Atiku Visits Buhari in Daura for Sallah Greetings, Not Political Agenda
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar paid a Sallah visit to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday at his Daura residence in Katsina State, accompanied by a group of high-profile politicians.
Atiku said the visit was purely a show of respect and goodwill for the Eid celebration, not a political move.
The meeting has sparked interest, especially with the 2027 elections drawing closer, but Atiku dismissed any talks of political motives or coalition plans.
“We came to greet President Buhari for Sallah. Nothing more,” he told reporters.
Among those in the delegation were former Kaduna and Sokoto governors, Nasir El-Rufai and Aminu Tambuwal, along with other notable figures.
Atiku also explained the delay in his visit, saying he was attending to duties in Adamawa, where he stood in for the Lamido of Adamawa during the celebrations.
Despite speculations, he emphasized that the visit had no ties to 2027 politics.
“It’s simply about showing respect and sharing in the joy of the season,” he added.

Dele Momodu Questions Remi Tinubu’s Interruption of Gov. Adeleke at Ooni’s Event
Media personality Dele Momodu reacts and shares his thoughts regarding First Lady Remi Tinubu interrupting the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, during a recent event.
The event was the 10th coronation anniversary of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi. In the scene, while Governor Adeleke was giving a speech, he began with a worship song. But while singing, the First Lady stood up and met him to inform him to stop singing and go directly to his speech instead.
Media personality Dele then reacted and questioned why she would do something like that, asking if she would have done the same kind of interruption if it were the recitation of the Qur’an.

First Lady Oluremi Tinubu Speaks on Forgiveness and Moving Forward
First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has shared that she has forgiven those who betrayed her husband during the 2023 general elections.
She revealed this as she marked a new age, reflecting on what the future holds. She emphasized that she holds no grudge against anyone.
“I do not have anything against anyone. The question is how I stopped feeling the betrayal? I knew the grace factor was evident, and the Holy Spirit continually comforted me. I chose never to avenge myself, understanding that it is God’s prerogative. Mine is to thank Him for fighting for us. If God decides to fight your battles and you have won, is there anything else that God missed and you wanted to fix? Nothing. So, let it go.”

Atiku’s Spokesman Says APC Is Already Planning to Rig the 2027 Elections
Paul Ibe, spokesperson to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of laying the groundwork to manipulate the 2027 general elections.
Speaking during a YouTube interview, Ibe alleged that the ruling party, led by President Bola Tinubu, has run out of achievements to show after more than two years in office. This has resorted to silencing opposition voices and critical institutions.
According to him, APC is working to weaken independent media, civil society groups, and political opponents. They insists that the clampdown is part of a wider strategy to retain power.
“They have nothing to offer after two years of holding on to the mandate,” Ibe said. “The only way left for them is to start preparing to rig, and the process is already in motion.”
Additionally, he went on to describe Nigeria’s current political climate as a drift into dictatorship, recalling the heavy price paid by activists who fought for democracy in the past.
“The democracy we’ve had since 1999 came at a huge sacrifice. Many lives were lost in the struggle,” he said. “Those heroes would be turning in their graves to see what is happening now. People like Sowore are being harassed and intimidated, and that shows where we are heading.”
