 Our governorship candidate, Fr. Hyacinth Alia, is still running in Benue APC. The All Progressives Congress in Benue State has stated that Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, a Catholic priest, will continue to be the party's candidate for governor in the state despite the criticisms that have followed his nomination. Some governorship candidates running on the platforms of the APC and the state PDP chapter had criticized the procedure that produced the priest, and the PDP had taken the APC to court. In contrast to the persistent lies peddled by the state's PDP-led administration, Alia remains the party's standard bearer, according to Austin Agada, the state party chairman, who unveiled the party's governorship candidate on Tuesday in Makurdi. "I want to confirm to everyone's hearing and to the people of Benue that Fr. Hyacinth Alia is the candidate of the APC in the state," Agada stated.

In 1999 and 2003, Tinubu ran for and won the office of governor of Lagos State on the platform of the Alliance for Democracy (AD).

 Joe Biden unintentionally divulges a "cheat sheet" his aides gave him, instructing him to "take YOUR seat and deliver brief comments." During a meeting with business executives at the White House, US President Joe Biden unintentionally displayed a "cheat sheet" with simple instructions on where to sit and what to do.

The 79-year-old, who is said to have early-stage dementia, was also told to speak with some attendees, engage them in conversation, and thank them before departing.

 Obasanjo said that selecting a vice president in 1999 was a mistake. Obasenjo Olusegun Obasanjo, a former president, has claimed that selecting a running mate for the 1999 election was a mistake. On Saturday, June 25, he made the remark while speaking in Abeokuta at a leadership and entrepreneurship mentorship event with chosen school pupils. In the 2023 presidential election, Obasanjo, who was elected president in 1999 and 2003, competed alongside Atiku Abubakar, the PDP's current presidential flagbearer. Both broke down under his leadership. Obasanjo said during the leadership program "I don't pretend that I don't make mistakes; I did. But God has never let me down, and that is something that has happened to me. Furthermore, that is crucial. For instance, choosing a number two when I was running for president was one of the errors I made. But God delivered me from it because it was an honest mistake.

  South-West PDP demands Senate Presidency, SGF, party chair from Atiku Atiku Abubakar According to Saturday PUNCH, the Peoples Democratic Party and Atiku Abubakar, its presidential candidate, are planning how to capture support from the South-West. This came when Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State, was announced as the candidate for president of the ruling All Progressives Congress.

 According to the Supreme Court, Americans have the right to carry firearms in public. In a major decision made only weeks after another tragic school shooting, the US Supreme Court concluded on Thursday that Americans have a basic right to carry firearms in public. The 6-3 decision nullifies a New York statute that required applicants for a gun permit to demonstrate that they had a need for self-defense and prevents other states from imposing carrying restrictions. The court sided with supporters who said that the US Constitution guaranteed the freedom to own and carry guns, despite a growing push for restrictions on firearms following two shocking mass shootings in May. The National Rifle Association, a powerful gun lobby, wins the court's first decision in a significant Second Amendment case in ten years. According to a statement from NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre, "Today's verdict represents a watershed win for good men and women all throughout America an

 As fuel shortages intensify, the illegal market explodes at N300 per litre. We can't justify cutting off subsidies since Western nations also provide fuel subsidies, says Buhari On Tuesday, the country's fuel shortage got worse, forcing drivers to spend hours at gas stations in Lagos, the Federal Capital Territory, and other locations. The solution for oil marketers to the worsening fuel lines across the country is for the Federal Government to authorize an increase in the commodity's pump price. Even though some retailers had already increased the price of petrol in their locations, they admitted that the action had not received official approval and mentioned that retailers could face penalties for selling beyond the set price. Marketers are actively fighting against the approved pump price of Premium Motor Spirit, also known as gasoline, which they claim is no longer viable given the worldwide economic crisis.Petrol was being sold to motorists at a retail location in Ab
