FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has sparked intense national debate after boldly claiming that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu could have used federal might to secure an APC victory in Osun State if he had wanted to win at all costs, asserting he would have personally ensured it on the ground.

But Wike’s claims come on the heels of a massive contingent of APC Governors, including Godswill Akpabio, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and Hope Uzodinma,.converging last week on Osun for a mega campaign rally.

Afrobeats megastar Davido released an explosive interview alleging that both Senate President Akpabio and billionaire Aliko Dangote personally called him to delete real-time social media posts exposing Akpabio's election maneuvers.

Davido also refused to apologize to Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo for leaking his alleged WAEC results online, while vehemently praising Osun youth for defending democracy and giving Nigeria fresh hope.

A sharp rebuke from former President Goodluck Jonathan, who stated in a detailed post on Tuesday that the practice of serving governors and state functionaries trooping into election zones creates an atmosphere of intimidation and apprehension that must not be normalized.

Amid these concerns, key political figures, including Peter Obi of the NDC and Omoyele Sowore of the AAC, converged in Abuja on Tuesday to officially sign the National Peace Accord, with Obi warning citizens to completely reject any candidate who fails to behave excellently.

In Edo State, a viral video exposed a chaotic truck crash scattering goods on a dilapidated highway, with locals mockingly pointing out that it was the exact road Governor Okpebholo traversed to campaign in Osun.

First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu joined Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun in Sagamu to officially launch the National Community Food Bank, distributing essential food items to vulnerable families amid rising national food insecurity.

In Lagos, the Nigeria Police Force has come under intense scrutiny after a viral clip exposed alleged officers barging into a woman's compound with blank, unverified paper ID cards to force her to a station without a formal warrant.

A viral video showed Inspector General of Police Olatunji Disu celebrating his 30th wedding anniversary by singing Timi Dakolo's hit song Iyawo Mi to his wife.
