The very people who served in Donald Trump’s administration have voiced their concerns about his potential return to the Oval Office.”

She further elaborated, “His National Security Advisor, his Defense Secretary, his Chief of Staff, and even his Vice President have all issued warnings.

They believe that Donald Trump is unfit to lead our nation again.”

Harris assured her audience that under her leadership, she would uphold fundamental rights and freedoms, including a woman’s right to make decisions about her own body.

Garba Shehu, former spokesperson for late President Muhammadu Buhari, has said the former leader would have supported the EndSARS protests if they had remained peaceful. Speaking during an interview on Arise TV’s Morning Show, Shehu noted that Buhari initially saw the movement as a genuine expression of public concern and would have welcomed it.

However, Shehu explained that things took a different turn when the protests were overtaken by violence, vandalism, and attacks on law enforcement. He pointed out that the government responded early with offers of dialogue and even took steps like disbanding SARS to address the concerns raised.

But according to him, once the protest turned into a security crisis, marked by arson, destruction of public property, and loss of lives, no responsible government could sit back and watch. He emphasized that Buhari was deeply disturbed by how things unfolded, especially with the chaos in Lagos and other cities, and hoped such an incident never happens again in Nigeria.

Professor Wumi Iledare, a respected expert in petroleum economics, has cautioned against rushing to sell Nigeria’s state-owned refineries in Port Harcourt, Warri, and Kaduna. He advised President Bola Tinubu and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) to adopt a more strategic and transparent approach that puts national interest first.

His warning follows comments by NNPCL’s Group CEO, Bayo Ojulari, who recently hinted in an interview that the refineries may be sold after their ongoing reviews. Responding to that, Iledare argued that the major issue isn’t government ownership but poor efficiency and management.

“Selling them off without addressing deeper governance failures could lead to the same problems we’ve seen in the past and also risk our energy security,” he said. He recommended public-private partnerships and performance-based agreements as better alternatives, aligning with the spirit of the Petroleum Industry Act of 2021. He also warned that privatisation shouldn’t become a tool for monopoly or be controlled by a privileged few.

According to him, the focus should be on unlocking value and reviving the downstream oil sector in a sustainable way. This comes after NNPCL shut down the Port Harcourt Refinery in May 2025 for maintenance. Despite large sums spent on reviving the Warri and Kaduna plants, both remain inactive. Meanwhile, Aliko Dangote recently stated that those refineries may never function again.
