Tinubu Visits Lagos Oba+ EDO APC Chair Threatens Peter Obi & Atiku+ Wike Slams Amaechi |OjyOkpe
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu paid a courtesy visit to the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu on Sunday, accompanied by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, in his first major visit since returning from four weeks in Europe.
Supporters of the City Boy Movement, led by Seyi Tinubu, lined Lagos Island streets to welcomed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Meanwhile, ADC Vice-Presidential candidate, Rotimi Amaechi claimed on live television that President Tinubu's policies contributed to his mother's death, later calling it a joke. APC spokesman, Felix Morka called him unfit for the vice-presidency.
FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike also accused Amaechi of descending so low to bring his late mother into politics.
Concurrently, Amaechi and ADC presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar drew a large crowd at an Abuja gas station, where they pledged to bring down petrol costs.
Atiku also urged Nigerians to collect money offered by politicians but vote against them at the polls, saying the money was meant for them to begin with.
In Edo State, APC Chairman, Jarrett Tenebe is facing backlash after saying anyone blocking the party's target of 2.5 million votes for Tinubu in 2027 would receive a "prayer" he described as AK-47 fire. Amnesty International Nigeria has demanded that he be investigated.
A separate video shows him warning that Peter Obi and Atiku must seek Governor Monday Okpebholo's approval before entering the state.
In Borno State, the government has denied that Governor Babagana Zulum vowed to ban "Tinubu Must Go" T-shirts, after the ADC Presidential Campaign Council demanded an explanation over a viral video. Zulum warned against violence and public disturbance.
Young people protested in Maiduguri and human rights lawyer, Abba Hikima vowed to keep wearing the T-shirt until six arrested protesters are released. Police say the arrests were over alleged drug possession and public disturbance.
Meanwhile, Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Abdulaziz Yari trended over a viral video of a crowd pressing around his vehicle in Kaduna. One caption alleged an angry mob chanting "Bamayi," while his camp says the crowd chanted support and warned that footage can be altered with AI.
Also, former Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje jokingly declared that Tinubu's names sound northern when broken down, with "Asiwaju" becoming Ashiru, "Bola" becoming Bala and "Ahmed" becoming Ahmadu.
On the global economy, WTO Director-General, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala told CNN's Fareed Zakaria on Sunday that the multilateral trading system is proving resilient, with 72 percent of global goods trade still under WTO terms, though a trust deficit remains among members.
Finally, in Delta State, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and his wife, Deaconess Tobore Oborevwori went viral ushering and dancing at Winners Chapel in Osubi on Sunday, with church members saying he has done so long before becoming governor.
