A high-stakes clash has intensified between the EFCC and the Osun State Government following the freezing of the state's bank accounts over an alleged ₦11 billion financial misconduct investigation.

Meanwhile, Peter Obi joined Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde at the Methodist Church conference in Ibadan to urge religious leaders to continue speaking truth to power.

However, a fierce rebuttal from the Arewa Youth Assembly leader declaring that the North will reject Obi in 2027 due to a lack of consultations.

On infrastructural and security fronts, Works Minister David Umahi strongly defended federal borrowing by asserting that proper roads directly solve hunger and insecurity.
