🚨 Bernardo Silva to Real Madrid, HERE WE GO! Agreement in place and contract approved.
Two year deal plus one year option, fast deal by Madrid started 36h ago and closed immediately.
Mourinho wanted Bernardo, he says yes and advanced talks revealed today are 100% confirmed.
If you worked with Dr. Kefas and Dr. Aminu, you’ll know that this is not a surprising thing because of their unmatched energy and hardwork.
Such a tireless duo 😂 during HJ. Kudos to them 🙌🏽
For context, GASTROPEX-BH is a locally developed medical device created by paediatric surgeons at ATBUTH for the management of gastroschisis, a serious congenital condition where a baby is born with the intestines outside the body and requires urgent surgery.
Until now, devices used in managing the condition were largely imported, expensive, and often difficult to access in resource-constrained settings.
This innovation marks an important step in advancing homegrown, context-appropriate healthcare solutions in Nigeria.
One of the things that pains me about Nigeria healthcare is that WE HAVE VERY VERY GOOD DOCTORS
Unfortunately they are terribly paid and work in a poorly resourced hospitals
PANTAMI WITHDRAWS FROM APC GOVERNORSHIP PRIMARIES IN PROTEST OVER ELECTORAL PROCESS VIOLATIONS!
In the name of God, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
Prof. Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, CON, PhD (Prof/Malam Pantami), has withdrawn from the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship race in Gombe State in protest over violations of the Electoral Act 2026 and the party’s failure to provide a channel of communication and information essential for a credible contest.
When Prof. Pantami accepted calls from leaders, youth, women, and other stakeholders to contest for the governorship of Gombe State, he demonstrated loyalty to the APC by participating fully, meeting requirements, and following the laid-down guidelines and procedures. He was the only APC governorship aspirant to send a representative to the Peace Accord organised by the Nigeria Police Force, Gombe State Command, on 14 May 2026. His representative was the only one who signed the Peace Accord during the meeting.
Despite his loyalty, he was repeatedly denied access to critical information. Letters sent by his solicitors to the various organs of the party requesting details and raising concerns about the forthcoming governorship direct primaries received no reply or acknowledgment. The requests were not granted, and the issues remain unresolved.
In a democracy, the law must guide the process. Non-compliance with the Electoral Act 2026 and the party guidelines renders the exercise unsafe and illegitimate. The people of Gombe State witnessed what transpired during the direct primary “elections” for the National Assembly held on 16 and 18 May 2026. The strength of Pantami lies in his massive grassroots support, particularly among women and youth. Unfortunately, in the recent direct primaries, members at the grassroots were sidelined in the process.
After extensive consultations with stakeholders and careful reflection on the developments in Gombe State, Prof. Pantami has taken the difficult decision to withdraw from the APC governorship primary election scheduled for 21 May 2026, under protest. Peaceful protest is a fundamental pillar of democracy.
The protest is based on the blatant disregard for the provisions of the Electoral Act 2026 and the failure of the party leadership to implement the framework required for a credible primary election. During the National Assembly primaries, no actual election took place in the state. According to the testimony of several aspirants, relevant details on venues, procedures, and agent and observer accreditation were not provided, but results were announced.
Even though President Bola Ahmed Tinubu insisted on the necessity of free, fair, and credible direct primaries, his directives were, unfortunately, not implemented. Prof. Pantami had requested details on the time and place for accreditation of agents and observers, the procedures for accreditation, voting, and collation, and the location of collation centres. This information should have been provided to all aspirants without being solicited. As of this moment, nothing has been provided.
Prof. Pantami expresses deep gratitude to the youth who used crowdfunding to purchase his expression of interest and nomination forms. Contributions ranged from ₦5,000 to ₦4 million, and receipts were issued and shared publicly online by the contributors.
The Pantamiyya Movement will communicate its next steps and future plans to its followers, supporters, sympathisers, mentees, and students of Prof. Pantami in Gombe State and across Nigeria in due course. The movement’s commitment to advancing good governance in Gombe State and Nigeria remains unwavering, and its resolve against injustice through lawful means is unshakable. All followers, admirers, and supporters of Malam Pantami are to remain united for the next alignment and realignment in the political space.
May God bless Gombe State, & Nigeria.

COMMUNIQUÉ ISSUED AT THE END OF THE EMERGENCY GENERAL MEETING OF THE NIGERIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION HELD ON SATURDAY 16TH MAY 2026
The Emergency General Meeting of the Nigerian Medical Association was convened on Saturday, 16th May 2026, to review developments surrounding the
Press Release: Our father, Mallam Nasir @elrufai, is still being held by the ICPC. Today, 15 May 2026, we witnessed two distinct yet equally serious attacks on his basic rights. First, his personal Doctor visited the ICPC at about 3pm to discuss the results of medical tests recently conducted on our father. Officials at the agency blocked the doctor from seeing him, claiming that written permission from the ICPC Chairman was required. This directly flouts a clear court order granting Mallam Nasir El‑Rufai unrestricted access to his doctors.
Second, his wife, Aunty Aichatou, brought his evening meal at around 7pm as she normally does. ICPC personnel turned her away, saying they had orders not to permit food deliveries after 6:30pm. This arbitrary rule is no less offensive than blocking his right to medical care.
These acts are an outright assault on the rule of law and a clear violation of our father's constitutional and human rights. No lawful detention justifies denying medical access or refusing basic family care based on an arbitrary curfew fixed by the ICPC. Shame on them as an institution.
We demand that all his constitutional rights be fully respected. We will no longer accept this pattern of intimidation dressed up as protocol. The ICPC must abide by the very laws it claims to enforce.
