As campaigning kicks off for Nigeria’s next election, President @officialABAT is seeking a second term. But after more than a decade of APC rule, do Nigerians feel safer, and have our lives really improved? Will voters buy into the argument that today’s hardship will deliver tomorrow’s prosperity?
As campaigns begin in Nigeria, Tinubu's re-election bid puts his party on trial by @elishabg https://t.co/Vkypp92tgR
As campaigning for January's elections begins on Wednesday, President Bola Tinubu's pitch for a second term faces a politically fraught question: are Nigerians better off after more than a decade of rule by his All Progressives Congress? https://t.co/yF3mQfQdeY
A seismic shift in both the global energy and the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East. This is the most significant blow to OPEC since its inception. We're going to see a fragmented energy market where national survival and bilateral alliances will outweigh producer unity. It may mean lower oil prices in the long run, but in the immediate, we'll see dangerous volatility. OPEC hasn't just lost a member, it has lost its credibility as a unified geopolitical force.

City scraped a point at Everton and the cracks are finally showing. Pep is rattled, the pressure is on, and the advantage is firmly back with us. City face Brentford this weekend with zero margin for error,while praying for a West Ham miracle against us. Let them hope because they need it. City will drop more points. This race may look set to go to the wire, but I reckon we will be champions on May 18 after we beat Burnley at the Emirates. Mark this tweet.
Nigeria’s opposition bet on unity ahead of the January 2027 election to unseat President Bola Tinubu is faltering, as @PeterObi and Rabiu Kwankwaso break away to join the newly formed, muted Nigeria Democratic Congress party @NigeriaNDCHQ.
The abrupt defection highlights the fragility of a high-stakes alliance unveiled only 10 days ago.
14 parties led by the @ADCNig had agreed to field a single candidate in the presidential election, aiming to consolidate the roughly 60% of votes split among leading contenders in 2023, in what analysts had billed as the most significant opposition realignment since the 2013 merger that brought the ruling APC to power.
That alliance now appears in disarray with the defection of the two heavyweights.
