In a message on his X handle, former Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso congratulated President-elect Donald Trump and his team on their recent election victory in the United States.

Kwankwaso, known for his significant role in Nigerian politics, praised Trump’s historic political comeback, calling it a remarkable achievement that will be studied for years to come.

He drew a parallel with his political journey, recalling his return to power in 2011 when he won the governorship in Kano State after losing the election eight years earlier while serving as governor.

This kind of comeback, Kwankwaso noted, requires deep commitment, resilience, and unwavering support from the people.

Kwankwaso’s message is significant and it shows the respect he has for Trump’s ability to regain the highest office in the U.S., despite facing challenges and setbacks.

His words underscore the emotional and logistical demands of such a journey, and he expressed admiration for Trump’s perseverance in the face of opposition.

In his post, Kwankwaso also commended the outgoing administration led by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic party’s presidential candidate, for facilitating a peaceful and transparent election process.

Furthermore, he lauded their dedication to democracy, highlighting their willingness to concede and ensure a smooth transition of power.

According to Kwankwaso, the actions of Biden and Biden, a seasoned politician and former vice president under Barack Obama, focused his administration on issues like climate change, healthcare, and strengthening ties with international allies.

Also, he emphasized‎ that Nigeria, a country with one of the largest populations in Africa, faces challenges with maintaining free, fair, and peaceful elections, and he urged the U.S. to help ensure that the people’s will, as expressed at the ballot box, is upheld.

Suspended Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, has distanced himself from campaign materials being circulated ahead of the 2027 elections. Fubara made it clear that he never approved the production of caps, shirts, or any other campaign items for the next general election.

Speaking to his supporters in Port Harcourt on Saturday, Fubara stressed that his focus is on restoring peace and stability in the state, not on political campaigns. His reaction follows the recent resolution of the political crisis in Rivers State by President Bola Tinubu.

The clash between Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory had sparked months of tension, which eventually led to Fubara’s six-month suspension from office. Tinubu even declared a state of emergency in Rivers State during the height of the crisis.

However, the president stepped in last week, holding talks with all parties at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, leading to a temporary truce. Fubara expressed his frustration over the campaign materials, saying, “I was really upset when someone sent me a video of people producing caps and shirts for the 2027 elections.

“I didn’t approve that, I didn’t send anyone to do that. For now, what Rivers State needs is peace so that we can focus on progress and development.”

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, will be leading a national prayer session focused on reviving Nigeria’s struggling economy. The prayer is scheduled to take place during the church’s July 2025 Thanksgiving Service, themed “Divine Intervention”, at the RCCG national headquarters in Oyingbo, Lagos.

Speaking ahead of the event through his Special Assistant on Administration, Pastor Dele Balogun, Pastor Adeboye acknowledged that both Nigeria and other countries are facing tough times. But he believes the current hardship is not beyond repair if people embrace faith and take positive action.

“Our nation is going through serious challenges, just like other parts of the world. But the truth is, we can overcome them with faith, as long as we don’t give room to fear or doubt,” Adeboye said. He encouraged Nigerians to reject negative confessions and instead focus on faith-driven solutions, adding that with God’s intervention, the country’s economic situation can still turn around.

The upcoming prayer session, according to him, is not just about asking for change but about opening doors to new opportunities and paving the way for national transformation.
