 Atiku pledges scholarship to viral Niger teen miner Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Sunday said his “heart breaks” each time he watches a viral video of a teenage artisanal miner, Yusuf Aliyu, speaking at a mining site in Niger State after the deaths of 37 miners in the state. Atiku, in a statement posted on his X handle, said he was prepared to support the boy’s education, describing him as a child whose intelligence and confidence should be nurtured in a classroom rather than by working at a mining site. “I have watched Yusuf Aliyu’s video repeatedly, and each time, my heart breaks. A child with such intelligence, clarity and confidence should be in a classroom building his future—not struggling for survival in a community surrounded by gold but buried in poverty. “I cannot look at him and see an ‘illegal miner.’ I see a Nigerian child failed by the country that should have protected him.

 Wike Declares Fubara His ‘Son,’ Targets Political Foes in Rivers Crisis


Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has described suspended Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara as his “political son,” clarifying that his ongoing feud is not with Fubara but with those allegedly manipulating the governor against him. Speaking in an interview on Saturday, Wike vowed to defeat those he accused of trying to “steal what they did not work for.”


“He (Fubara) is my boy, my son. Why would I fight him? I’m fighting those pushing him, who are now ashamed because they are being defeated,” Wike stated, addressing the political crisis that has rocked Rivers State since 2023. The minister’s comments follow reports that Fubara, suspended by President Bola Tinubu after a state of emergency was declared in Rivers, had apologized to Wike, his former political mentor.


Wike, a prominent figure in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), reaffirmed his commitment to the party despite working under Tinubu’s All Progressives Congress (APC) administration. Dismissing calls to leave the PDP, he said, “I built this house; I won’t vacate it. Those threatening me can’t even deliver three percent of votes for their party.” He specifically called out South-East PDP leaders, including former governors Achike Udenwa and Sam Egwu, accusing them of issuing empty threats despite their lack of political influence.


The minister also ruled out running for president in 2027 against Tinubu, stating, “I’m working with him. Why would I contest against him? He would win.”
