 NUT Protest : Wike Warns Against Politicising Insecurity The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has warned against politicising insecurity amid protests by the Nigeria Union of Teachers, FCT wing, over the killing and abduction of school staff and children in Oyo State. Teachers stormed the FCTA Secretariat in Abuja to condemn the killing of Michael Oyedokun and to demand the release of abducted pupils and teachers from Community High School, Ahoro-Esinle in Oriire Local Government Area. The FCT minister addressed the protesters on Tuesday, saying the federal government is on its toes working to secure the rescue of the schoolchildren and their teachers. Wike urged protesters to avoid turning the tragedy into a political issue and to give security efforts time to produce results. Chairman of the union in the FCT, Mr Abdullahi Shafa, explained that the nationwide solidarity protest was to condemn the killing of the teacher and abduction of the school chil...

 APC defends Tinubu’s foreign travel against Obi’s scrutiny

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has fired back at Peter Obi over his criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s overseas holiday, insisting that governance continues despite the president taking a break.


Obi, the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, had taken a swipe at Tinubu’s frequent foreign trips, suggesting they give the impression that the president is growing uncomfortable at home “at a time Nigeria is in dire need of his presence.”


Responding via statement on Saturday, APC spokesperson Seye Oladejo accused Obi of “opportunistic commentary” and warned him against commenting on routine presidential activities.


He questioned: “Must Peter Obi comment on everything or anything?”


Oladejo continued, “Let us be clear: President Tinubu, like any responsible leader, remains fully briefed and in active communication with his security and intelligence teams – even while on a brief vacation. Governance does not grind to a halt simply because a leader takes time to rest—especially in an age where secure, real-time communication is always within reach. Mr. Obi knows this.”


He accused Obi of politicising government actions, arguing that the former Anambra governor’s approach appeared more focused on criticism than offering constructive alternatives.


The APC advised Obi to focus on offering constructive contributions rather than frequent criticisms: “Silence remains an honourable option,” it stated.


The party reaffirmed its commitment to governance, saying it is focused “not on the theatre of political opportunists.”


 President Tinubu on Thursday commenced a 10-day vacation as part of his 2025 annual leave, the Presidency announced.


Tinubu’s frequent foreign trips have increasingly become a flashpoint in political debates. Since assuming office in May 2023, he has embarked on several international engagements ranging from diplomatic summits to economic forums.


While the presidency insists such trips are critical for attracting foreign investment and strengthening bilateral ties, critics like Obi have accused him of neglecting pressing domestic issues.
