 Russia launches massive drone and missile barrage on Ukraine, killing at least 18 civilians and striking Kyiv and multiple cities  Russia carried out a large-scale overnight assault on Ukraine, launching hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles that killed at least 18 civilians and wounded more than 100 others across multiple cities, officials said Tuesday. The strikes hit Kyiv, Dnipro and other regions, with emergency crews working through destroyed residential buildings where some victims were trapped under rubble. In Dnipro, rescuers recovered the bodies of a 3-year-old child and a mother and her 8-year-old son, while officials reported 12 deaths in the city and six in Kyiv. The bombardment stretched from night into daylight, with explosions reported across wide areas of the country.

 Come Back Home, SDP is No Alternative, Sule Lamido Urges Former PDP Members


Former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, has issued a passionate call for political unity, urging former members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to return home and help rebuild Nigeria.


Lamido made the call during Ramadan Iftar at his country home in Bamaina, Birnin Kudu Local Government, where he stressed the need for reflection and reconciliation in the face of Nigeria’s current economic and security crises, insisting that the type of democratic stability the PDP provided has eluded the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).


“This month is a time of worship, a time of prayer and supplication,” he said. “We are here not just to break our fast, but to renew our bonds of friendship and strengthen our political family.”


In a speech that touched on Nigeria’s turbulent political landscape, the former governor lamented the current state of the nation, citing rising poverty, insecurity, and leadership challenges. He criticized those who abandoned the PDP for the APC in 2014, only to find themselves disillusioned with the outcome.


“The PDP was the foundation of Nigeria’s stability from 1999 onwards. Even leaders in the APC, like Tinubu and Buhari, benefited from the structure and governance we put in place. Those who left in search of something better must now ask themselves: Are we better off today than we were under the PDP?”


He dismissed the Social Democratic Party (SDP) as an emotional response rather than a viable alternative, arguing that its foundation as a government-created party under General Babangida meant it lacked a strong grassroots base. “SDP cannot defeat the PDP or APC; it is not built for that,” he stated.


Calling for reconciliation, he urged former PDP members in the APC to shed any feelings of guilt and return to their political roots. “There is no shame in coming back home. Politics should not be driven by emotion or revenge. If we truly want to fix Nigeria, we must reunite and rebuild.”


As the nation approaches another critical election cycle, his words serve as a rallying cry for political realignment within the PDP. Whether his message will be heeded remains to be seen, but one thing is clear—Nigeria’s political future is at a crossroads.
