Sowore Accuses Tinubu Regime of Launching Defamatory Campaign
Omoyele Sowore, the founder of SaharaReporters, has accused the Bola Tinubu administration of orchestrating a new smear campaign aimed at discrediting him and his media platform.
In a statement, Sowore claimed that a suspicious memo, allegedly from the Secretary of Zamfara State government, has been circulating, requesting large sums of money for prominent bandits and media outlets.
While the authenticity of the memo remains in question, Sowore insists its purpose is clear: to undermine the credibility of SaharaReporters, a platform known for its relentless criticism of corruption and government misconduct.
Sowore also emphasized that SaharaReporters remains independent by refusing government patronage or engaging with Nigerian government officials, distancing itself from the state house-based correspondent model.
He noted that the memo falsely implicated him as a beneficiary in the alleged scheme, describing the move as an attempt to blackmail him and the media outlet.
He reassured the public that these allegations are baseless and reflect the desperation of those behind the campaign, stating that this attempt, like others before it, will not succeed.
Nollywood star Yul Edochie has urged President Bola Tinubu to stay focused on fixing Nigeria’s current problems instead of getting caught up in early talks about the 2027 elections. In a message shared on Instagram, Yul, who has openly supported Tinubu in the past, said Nigerians are dealing with serious struggles, especially the rising cost of living and growing insecurity.
He wrote directly to the president, asking him not to be distracted by political noise: “We’re still in 2025. People are suffering. The focus should be on reducing hardship and restoring security. These are the real issues.” He ended his post with a prayer for Tinubu’s leadership, hoping he stays guided through the challenges ahead.
Afrobeat singer Seun Kuti calls out politician Peter Obi over a recent political agreement with Atiku Abubakar.
It can be noted that the political figures Peter Obi and Atiku, who are not Labour Party representatives, have now joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC), a political party.
The singer took to social media to simply state to Peter Obi’s followers: “Now that Peter Obi has gone back home to Atiku, I don’t need to mention anything about Obidients anymore.”
Nigerian activist VeryDarkMan reacts to Daniel Bwala’s comment on the absence of politician Peter Obi visiting Benue State after the recent violent attacks.
It can be recalled that Benue State recently suffered violent attacks that resulted in many victims and deaths. Many powerful and influential figures in the nation visited the state to show their concern and support for the victims.
It can also be noted that VeryDarkMan was among them. However, Daniel Bwala came out to call out Peter Obi for lacking empathy because he did not visit. In response, VeryDarkMan spoke in defense of the politician:
“Mr. Bwala, you said Peter Obi was not there and lacks empathy. Let me break it down. I’m not trying to support Peter Obi here, but in April 2025, Peter Obi was stopped from going into Benue State by the governor… Since Peter Obi and his people started the ADC thing, all of Una just dey restless. Wike go talk today, you go talk tomorrow, and them never even give am presidential ticket yet…”
