The Gombe State Government has shown support for Borno State following severe flooding. Gombe’s Governor Muhammadu Yahaya, currently abroad, sent a delegation led by Deputy Governor Manassah Jatau with a N100 million donation for flood relief.

The delegation visited Maiduguri, offering condolences and support at the Government House and Shehu of Borno’s palace. Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum thanked Gombe for the aid, promising to use it effectively. The delegation also toured the flood-affected areas and prayed for the victims.

Nyesom Wike, the Federal Capital Territory Minister, revealed that he rejected requests from Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki to endorse PDP candidate Asue Ighodalo for the governorship election, choosing to remain neutral.

This comes amid accusations from PDP stakeholders, including state Chairman Anthony Aziegbemhin, who have called for the redeployment of Edo’s Resident Electoral Commissioner. Aziegbemhin alleges that the REC’s ties to Wike could compromise the election. Wike has denied these claims, emphasizing his neutrality in the race.

In a hilarious moment, a cab driver pretended to be in a deep sleep after ramming into an SUV. Eyewitnesses were amused as the driver, seemingly in an attempt to avoid responsibility, closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat, feigning unconsciousness. The scene quickly went viral, sparking laughter and disbelief on social media over the driver’s unusual reaction to the crash.
