“I’ll Support you” – Patience Jonathan Vows to Campaign for Oluremi Tinubu in 2027

Former First Lady Dame Patience Jonathan has made it clear that she has no plans of returning to Aso Rock Villa in 2027, offering her full support to First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu and her husband ahead of the 2027 elections.
Patience Jonathan expressed her endorsement while attending the Women Icon Leader of the Year award ceremony, where she honored Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, the daughter of President Bola Tinubu and the Iyaloja-General of Nigeria, in Abuja on Saturday night.
During her speech, Jonathan praised Tinubu-Ojo and reaffirmed her loyalty to the First Lady. She emphasized the importance of unity, saying, “There is only one president at a time. When it’s your turn, I’ll support you. And when it’s not, I’ll step back.”
She also took a moment to recall the support she and her husband received from Remi Tinubu and the president during their 2011 presidential campaign. Jonathan stressed that instead of aiming for a return to Aso Rock, her focus is on standing by the First Lady and supporting her efforts.
“I’ve known Oluremi for a long time,” Jonathan shared. “We’ve worked together as wives of governors and deputy governors. I will not abandon my friend. I am not running for office, and I won’t go back to the Villa.
If you call me, I won’t come. I stand by my friend.” Jonathan concluded by reminding everyone that leadership is about “turn by turn” and reaffirmed her commitment to supporting Senator Oluremi Tinubu and her husband’s vision for the country.

Teenage Girl Sues JAMB After Being Forced to Remove Her Hijab Before UTME Exam

A teenage girl, Lawal Hameedat Adenike, has filed a lawsuit against the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and the PEFTI Centre after allegedly being forced to remove her hijab before sitting for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The suit was filed by her mother and legal representative, Basirat Ojo, who spoke to journalists in Abuja about the distressing incident. Ojo explained that on April 25, 2025, at the PEFTI CBT Centre in Ibadan, Oyo State, her daughter was told she could not take the exam unless she removed her hijab, which she wears as a religious obligation. Ojo described the experience as humiliating and emotionally distressing for her daughter, adding that it was a clear violation of her rights.
The lawsuit is seeking a public apology from both JAMB and PEFTI, to be published in two national newspapers. Additionally, it calls for compensation for the rights violation and a court ruling that any policy requiring female candidates to remove their hijabs is unconstitutional.
Lawal’s lawyer, Qousim Opakunle, emphasized that the case is based on constitutional rights. He argued that the directive violated Section 38 of the Nigerian Constitution, which guarantees freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, especially for minors who are vulnerable to such injustices.
