Politics, sports, insecurity and entertainment shaped Tuesday’s top headlines as a Kano government aide accused former governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of indirectly working for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid, while drama trailed the Lagos APC primaries with Desmond Elliot withdrawing amid allegations of intimidation.
In sports, Super Eagles stars Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, Alex Iwobi and Wilfred Ndidi headlined Eric Chelle’s squads for the Unity Cup and upcoming international friendlies.
Security concerns also resurfaced in Oyo State after kidnappers abducted two workers of the Cocoa Research Institute, although police later arrested two suspects linked to the incident.
Meanwhile, celebrity barman Cubana Chief Priest claimed President Tinubu does not fully trust him because of his previous support for Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi during the 2023 elections.
