The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is facing serious allegations of mishandling the distribution of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) in Kwali Area Council, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja. Reports indicate that some registered voters have been left without their cards, while others have received PVCs belonging to different individuals entirely. The accusations gained traction after a video surfaced on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), posted on Thursday. In it, @Enyowins — identified as the African Action Congress (AAC) councillorship candidate for Pai Ward — expressed outrage over the mix-up. He claimed that his own PVC, collected after proper registration, had been handed over to someone else by INEC officials in Kwali. “The INEC in Kwali is giving the voters card of registered voters to other people,” the candidate stated in the clip. “My voters card has been given to someone else by INEC Nigeria. What kind of madness is this?” The issue appears t...

 Vice President Kashim Shettima arrived in Kwara State on Saturday to assess the aftermath of a devastating attack on Woro village in Kaiama Local Government Area, where gunmen killed at least 75 residents—some reports putting the toll even higher, with over 100 lives lost. The visit came on the direct instructions of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who tasked the vice president with evaluating the situation firsthand and delivering the federal government's heartfelt condolences to the grieving families and community.

The assault, which occurred last Tuesday, saw suspected terrorists—linked by some accounts to extremist groups like the Mamuda sect or Boko Haram elements—invade the community, opening...

 The Lagos State Office of Public Private Partnership has come under scrutiny after spending N135 million on just 20 office tables and chairs in 2025, only to propose another N40.5 million for similar items in the 2026 budget. According to a review of state financial records by SaharaReporters, the Office of Public Private Partnership (often referred to as the PPP Office) expended the N135 million between January and September 2025 specifically for the "purchase of 20 office chairs and tables." This works out to roughly N6.75 million per set—or about N2 million to N6.75 million per individual piece, depending on how the items are counted—prompting questions about value for money and procurement transparency in a state where many residents face pressing infrastructure and social service needs. Despite this recent outlay, the approved 2026 Lagos State budget includes a fresh allocation of **N40.5 million** for the same category of furniture at the PPP Office. The revelation hig...
