 2027: Abia APC gov candidate unveils running mate The All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in the 2027 general election in Abia State, Eric Opah, presented his running mate, Godswill Egbe, to the party in the state, noting that the party is running to win. Opah made the presentation on Monday in Umuahia, the state capital. “If you want to choose somebody to work with, you have to make sure that it is not somebody who will give you trouble. So, because running mate and deputy governor positions often come with disagreements with the principal, I took my time. I have to tell our party members, this is a man of integrity,” Opah said. He added that Egbe is a man that Abians and the APC will be proud of. “Let me make it very clear. We are running this election. APC is running this election to win. “Agu Egbe will work with me in honesty to use Abia money to work for Abians. We are not going to claim 400 roads when we build 20.

Stampede at southern India rally for actor Vijay kills 40

The death toll from a stampede at a political rally for popular actor-turned-politician Joseph Vijay Chandrasekhar in Tamil Nadu, southern India, has risen to 40, the state’s health minister said Sunday. Hospitals were treating at least 124 injured, most of whom were reported to be in stable condition. Among the dead were nine children.

The rally, held Saturday in the district of Karur, drew tens of thousands of supporters in the sweltering heat to hear Vijay, one of Tamil Nadu’s most prominent actors, who is running in the state elections scheduled for early 2026. Local culture often elevates film stars to near-mythical status, and many, like Vijay, have successfully transitioned into politics. Witnesses said the actor’s address was delayed by over six hours, leaving the crowd congested and difficult to manage. When Vijay’s campaign vehicle began to move, hundreds of fans surged after it, triggering the stampede. The government has launched an investigation led by a former judge, and Chief Minister M.K. Stalin announced compensation of more than $11,000 for each family of the deceased. Vijay expressed deep sorrow on social media, calling the tragedy “unbearable,” while Prime Minister Narendra Modi described it as “deeply saddening.” Stampedes at large gatherings are unfortunately not uncommon in India, with a January incident at the Maha Kumbh festival claiming at least 30 lives.
