 Texas man arrested with 75 pounds of marijuana in luggage while flying to London, police say A Texas man was arrested at Miami International Airport after authorities found 75 pounds of marijuana in his luggage before he could board a flight to London. Harrison O’Neill Tiernan, 23, from Austin, was charged with cannabis trafficking. He was traveling to Heathrow Airport and had checked two suitcases for his British Airways flight. Inspectors discovered 65 vacuum-sealed packages containing a green, leafy substance later confirmed to be marijuana. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers stopped Tiernan while he attempted to board the flight, and he acknowledged that the bags were his. Authorities noted the inspections were part of broader efforts at the airport due to high outbound narcotics activity. In total, Tiernan was carrying 34.01 kilograms, or 74.98 pounds, of marijuana.

APC expecting more governors’ defection – Yilwatda


The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has said more governors will dump their parties and join the APC ahead of the 2027 general elections to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid.

Yilwatda, represented by the Deputy National Chairman (South), Chief Emma Eneukwu, spoke on Tuesday at the 12th Expanded Stakeholders’ Meeting of the Bayelsa State chapter of the party in Yenagoa, where the APC formally endorsed Tinubu as its sole presidential candidate for 2027.

He said Tinubu’s governance style and performance had continued to attract defections from opposition figures, adding that more senators and House of Representatives members were also joining the ruling party.

It would be recalled that Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno recently defected from the Peoples Democratic Party to the APC to back the President’s re-election.

Yilwatda said:“Our doors are still open. More governors are moving into our party; more senators and House members are also joining because of the calibre, integrity, and output of the person we made president. Opponents may bark, but when a lion is at work, it doesn’t take notice of small animals.

That is what President Tinubu is doing—focused leadership that delivers results.”

He commended South-South governors for what he described as their “realism and political maturity” in aligning with the APC, saying their defection reflected confidence in Tinubu’s leadership.

“Because of what they saw in Mr President, they have abandoned their political parties to join our great party so that we can work together to move Nigeria forward. From the South-South to the South-East, leaders are making the same choice because they want a greater Nigeria. They are leaving their parties to support Mr President in 2027 and ensure an overwhelming victory,” Yilwatda added.

The APC chairman further hailed Tinubu’s courage in taking on reforms that others lacked the political will to implement.

“This president is not afraid. He takes the bull by the horns. What others could not do, he has done and is achieving results. President Tinubu is on the move to take Nigeria to greater heights,” he said.
