Donald Trump Escapes Alleged Assassination Attempt at Campaign Rally

In a shocking turn of events, former US President Donald Trump was swiftly escorted off stage by Secret Service agents during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, following reports of a shooting from the audience.
Trump appeared injured, with visible blood on his ear and cheek, before being rushed to a vehicle. His current condition and destination remain unknown, as his representative has yet to comment.
This incident occurred just two days before the Republican National Convention, where Trump is expected to accept his party’s presidential nomination.
President Joe Biden, vacationing in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, stated he had not been briefed on the situation. The White House has not released any comments on the matter.

Oshiomhole Says Tinubu Would Easily Win a Free and Fair Election

Former Edo State Governor and current Nigerian Senator Adams Oshiomhole is betting big on President Bola Tinubu’s chances in a free and fair election today. In a lively interview on Channels Television, the ex-Nigerian Labour Congress chief didn’t hold back, saying Tinubu’s already done enough to lock in a second term.
Tinubu made some bold promises while campaigning for the 2023 elections, and while he’s ticked off a few, others are still a work in progress. When asked if Tinubu could win a fair vote given Nigeria’s struggles with the economy, security, and politics, Oshiomhole was all in. “He’d win, and he’d win big,” he said confidently. He pointed to real changes making a difference.
Oshiomhole shared a story about a senator who recently rejoined the APC, noting that before Tinubu took office, farmers in his area were too scared to work their fields due to rampant insecurity. Now, they’re back on their farms, and that senator credits Tinubu for the turnaround. Plus, new roads have made life easier for folks in that region, with hopes for even more progress now that the senator’s back in the APC fold.
Oshiomhole admitted that sitting in a place like Lagos, it’s easy to miss these wins when everyone’s focused on the bigger problems. But he urged people to look closer. One of Tinubu’s gutsiest moves? Scrapping the shady exchange rate system that let well-connected folks buy dollars dirt cheap from the Central Bank and flip them for massive profits.
“Tinubu could’ve played that game, but he shut it down on day one,” Oshiomhole said. Now, everyone—president, senator, or regular Nigerian—gets the same rate. That, he argued, took serious courage and leveled the playing field, even if it ruffled feathers among the elite.

Activist Urges Tinubu to Choose a Christian VP for 2027 Election

Activist and president of the North Central Youth Council, Sunday Asuku, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to consider replacing Vice President Kashim Shettima with a Christian candidate in the 2027 general election.
In a statement on Monday, Asuku stressed that Tinubu’s choice of vice president could make or break his chances for re-election. He argued that selecting a Christian vice president would not only be symbolic but also a strategic and unifying move for Nigeria’s democracy.
Asuku mentioned that the 2027 elections will be a crucial test of Nigeria’s commitment to unity and inclusivity. He pointed out that the Muslim-Muslim ticket in the 2023 elections created division, and that addressing this imbalance with a Christian running mate would help strengthen national cohesion.
He went on to say that religious balance in leadership is still a vital necessity in Nigeria’s diverse society. “Tinubu has a chance to correct the mistake of 2023 and make a strong statement of inclusion. This opportunity should not be missed,” Asuku said.

Sam Amadi Says Peter Obi is the Only Candidate Who Ought to Be Elected

Sam Amadi, former chairman of the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) and Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, has expressed concern over the increasing attacks on Peter Obi, the former Labour Party presidential candidate, by top government officials.
Amadi pointed out that while Nigerian politicians focus on attacking Obi, he continues to highlight the country’s pressing issues, particularly its poor socio-economic state. He shared his views in a post on X, noting that it has become common for members of the current administration to target Obi, despite his focus on the broader problems facing Nigeria, rather than personal conflicts.
Amadi stated recent criticisms of Obi from the Presidency, Lagos State Governor, and Senate President Godswill Akpabio as examples of this troubling pattern. Obi’s comment about the “labour of our heroes past” being in vain, a remark reflecting on the country’s dismal situation, had sparked sharp reactions, including accusations from Akpabio that Obi was disrespecting Nigeria’s founding fathers. The Lagos State Governor also criticized Obi for his comments about the country’s economic direction during a recent overseas appearance, and the Presidency had earlier dismissed his proposals for governance reform.
Amadi, however, countered these attacks, emphasizing that while government officials focus on discrediting Obi, the former governor remains focused on addressing Nigeria’s structural challenges and the urgent need for reform. He added, “If elections were a purely rational exercise, Peter Obi is so far the only candidate who ought to be elected.”
Amadi lamented about the excessive attention being given to Obi by top government figures, pointing out that Obi’s campaign has remained free of personal attacks, instead advocating for a vision of national renewal based on accountability, economic reform, and responsible leadership.
