Fresh reactions continue to trail former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso’s decision to run with Peter Obi in the 2027 presidential election. Kwankwaso also revealed that even during the 2023 elections, pressure for an Obi alliance came from his own daughter, who urged him to work with the former Labour Party presidential candidate.

Meanwhile, reactions have continued after comments linked to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar opposing efforts to zone the 2027 presidential ticket to the South. Atiku’s media aide, Olusola Sanni, argued that politics should be driven by strategy rather than sentiment. The debate has reignited wider conversations around zoning, federal character and regional balance in Nigeria’s democracy. Since independence in 1960, the North has held power for about 41 years across multiple administrations, while the South has governed for roughly 25 years, creating a 16-year gap now being cited by supporters of power rotation, the single-term proposal and the growing Obi-Kwankwaso alliance ahead of 2027.

Elsewhere, Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan officially submitted her PDP senatorial nomination forms ahead of the 2027 elections. However, online debate intensified after a Facebook post surfaced in which the senator thanked her husband for permitting her to seek re-election.

The statement sparked backlash from some Nigerians, including US-based entrepreneur Roberta Edu, who questioned whether the senator needed her husband’s approval to continue her political career.

Meanwhile, a sermon by Pastor Peace Ibiyeomie has generated outrage online after she advised married women not to maintain close friendships with divorced women. The comments triggered widespread criticism, particularly from Nigerians who referenced abusive marriages and the late gospel singer Osinachi Nwachukwu.

Under good news, FIFA has officially confirmed that Nigerian superstar Rema and South African singer Tyla will headline the opening ceremony of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Los Angeles on June 12.
