Phrank Shaibu, the Special Assistant on Public Communication to the 2023 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has accused President Bola Tinubu of planning to reward the immediate past Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike with a ministerial appointment.
Shaibu said the ministerial appointment was to appreciate Wike for rigging the presidential election in Rivers State to favour Tinubu.
He insisted that the results in states like Rivers showed that the last presidential election was far from credible.

The Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District, Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah, has indicated that he will lead a massive protest in his hometown of Nnewi today, Monday 3 July against the sit-at-home order of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB.
He revealed this while lamenting that the sit-at-home order in the South-East, usually enforced by gunmen believed to be loyal to secessionist group IPOB has resulted in big damage to the economy of the region.
“Enough is enough and we have resolved in agreement with our constituents that there will be no more observation of sit-at-home orders in Nnewi from Monday, July 3, 2023.
PBAT’ Ogun shuttle: where is OBJ?

Elder generations of Nigerians would remember him as a mercurial politician. Long after his tenure ended as the Information Minister in the First Republic, Chief TOS Benson was still fondly hailed by admirers in his native Yorubaland as “Adek’ilumo” (he whose arrival is noticed by all and sundry). Partly for his gift of the garb and and power dressing as socialite.
In contemporary time, another political player that could be said to have been enjoying similar attention is perhaps Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. Largely on account of his durability over the decades. First as military head of state and later as two-term civilian President. Even as retired General in the 80s and early 90s and later as ex-President in the late 2000s and 2010s, he literally constituted himself into a thorn in the flesh of sitting leaders — whether military or civilian — by lobbing “letter bombs” at them, with a sanctimony that was both furious and magisterial.

Stakeholders in the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI), including manufacturers and other private sector operators, organised labour, and indeed, Nigerians were literarily over the moon with excitement following the June 9 signing of the Electricity Act 2023 by President Bola Tinubu.
Under the Electricity Act 2023, which replaced the Electricity and Power Sector Reforms Act 2005, states, private companies and individuals are now legally permitted to generate, transmit and distribute electricity.
