Primate Elijah Ayodele has warned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu that several people within his circle are preparing to betray him weeks before the election.
In a statement by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, the prophet said many of those around the president do not genuinely wish him well, claiming the APC presidential council inauguration was filled with people who attended for show, celebrating with bitterness.


He warned Tinubu to identify his real allies, insisting that recent defections to the APC would become a burden on his re‑election bid. Ayodele said those close to the president would try to block the truth, push away good advisers and act on selfish interests.
The prophet added that if Tinubu fails to act now, he will see the true colours of his inner circle two weeks before the election, stressing that there is still serious work to be done in the North.

A United States lawyer, Mike Arnold, has written to Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, giving him conditions for him to stop criticising the President and his government.
In the open letter posted on his verified X handle, Arnold said he would only remain silent if Tinubu acknowledged the existence of innocent displaced Nigerians living in at least eight horrific camps within the Federal Capital Territory and acted swiftly to alleviate their suffering.
Arnold urged Tinubu to immediately provide them with the necessary assistance, call on international relief organisations to help, and ensure that every displaced family has adequate food, clothing, shelter, sanitation, medical care and education for their children.
The American lawyer further called on the Tinubu administration to commit to clearing Boko Haram and every other armed terrorist group from the displaced families’ ancestral lands to enable them to return home and live in peace.

Modu, of Belle village in Danbura Local Government Area of Borno State, was sentenced by Justice Binta Fatima Nyako on Thursday after pleading guilty to withholding information that could have led to the arrest and prosecution of terrorists operating in the state.
The Federal Government had arraigned him on three counts bordering on membership of the proscribed Boko Haram sect, providing support to the group by repairing motorcycles, and deliberately withholding information about the terrorists’ activities from security agencies.
Although Modu denied being a member of the terrorist group, he admitted withholding information that could have led to the arrest of its members.

Doctors in Kwara State have issued a two-week ultimatum to the government to address their demands or risk industrial action across health facilities in the state.
The ultimatum was issued by doctors under the umbrellas of the Medical and Dental Consultants Association of Nigeria (MDCAN), and the Association of Resident Doctors (ARD) at a joint emergency executive meeting held on September 26, 2026.
At the emergency meeting, issues concerning the state of healthcare in various hospitals across the state, including the sudden deductions for KwaraCare and the 2025 review of the Consolidated Medical Salary Structure (CONMESS), among others, were discussed.
Members expressed dissatisfaction with their September salary payments, from which funds were deducted for the Kwara Health Insurance Scheme at a time when they were expecting an upward salary review that had already been implemented for doctors in federal and other state-owned health institutions across the country since January 2026.

  2. I once overheard two dark souls discussing their boss. One was talking out of excitement and was like ' the man( her boss) don dey sick ' ,the other one was laughing and was like ' he never see anything '. Then one 'Mgbokwu' among their circles was like ' all him family members must get sick. 'These are those the so called boss trusted as the board members.

    Tinubu should watch his back. He may think Peter Obi is his problem not knowing that his enemies are within.
