 Russian forces to stay in Mali to fight terrorism: Kremlin The Kremlin said on Thursday that Russian forces would stay in Mali to help the country's government battle terrorists following an offensive over the weekend by Tuareg-led separatists and terrorists. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the statement after being asked by a reporter how Russia responded to a purported statement from the terrorists saying they wanted Russia to leave Mali. "Russia's presence there is, in fact, due to the need identified by the current government. Russia will continue, including in Mali, to combat extremism, terrorism and other harmful phenomena and will continue to provide assistance to the current government," said Peskov, AFP reported.

OBI HAS SUBMITTED HIS ONE-TERM PROPOSAL TO COALITION FOR CONSIDERATION, SAYS YUNUSA TANKO. (PHOTO).


 Obi has submitted his one-term proposal to coalition for consideration, says Yunusa Tanko


Yunusa Tanko, national coordinator of the Obidient Movement Worldwide, says Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in 2023, has submitted his one-term proposal to the coalition for consideration.


On Monday, Obi said he is willing to be a one-term president in 2027.


He added that any candidate from the south elected president in the next election must be prepared to leave office on May 28, 2031, in line with the “unwritten power-sharing agreement” and the zoning principle.


Obi, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, ex-transportation minister Rotimi Amaechi, and Nasir el-Rufai, former governor of Kaduna, have formed a coalition to challenge President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming election.


On Tuesday, the coalition adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as the vehicle for its ambition.


Punch reports that Tanko, who spoke at a chieftaincy ceremony in Gombe, on Tuesday, said Obi has laid down his proposal before the coalition.


“We have presented it to the coalition. It is there for them to make a decision. But we are confident it can work. This is a pronouncement rooted in integrity, and Peter Obi embodies that. What Nigeria needs now are leaders with integrity,” Tanko said.


He added that although the single term is not enshrined in the constitution, Obi believes that four years is enough to implement his ideas.


“That shows you how prepared and focused he is. Even stabilising electricity alone will solve a multitude of problems,” Tanko added.


“He is promising that under his leadership, Nigeria will become an exporting country again. Planes will no longer leave our airports empty."
