 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.

 Former Presidential Adviser Warns of Crisis Over 2027 Nigerian Elections


Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, a former political adviser to Nigeria’s Vice President, has issued a stark warning about the potential consequences of a flawed 2027 general election, stating that anything less than a transparent electoral process could plunge the nation into unprecedented turmoil.


In a post on his verified X account on Monday, Dr. Baba-Ahmed urged Nigeria’s political leaders and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to address growing public concerns about the credibility of the upcoming elections. “Voices are being raised regarding integrity of the 2027 elections. Our leaders and INEC should listen. Anything short of the most transparent elections will produce neither winners nor losers. Rigging will risk plunging this country into its worst crises. No one wants that,” he wrote.


The warning comes as the House of Representatives considers a proposal to conduct all five elections—presidential, senatorial, House of Representatives, governorship, and House of Assembly—on a single day in 2027. If approved, the revised Electoral Act would grant INEC the authority to hold these polls simultaneously, a move aimed at streamlining the electoral process but raising concerns about logistical challenges and transparency.


As Nigeria approaches this critical electoral milestone, Dr. Baba-Ahmed’s remarks underscore the urgent need for reforms to ensure a free, fair, and credible election, with the nation’s stability hanging in the balance.
