2027: Atiku’s Ethnic and Religious Appeal Won’t Work in the North, Says Iliyasu Kwankwaso

APC chieftain Dr Musa Iliyasu Kwankwaso says Atiku Abubakar cannot rely on ethnic and religious sentiment to win northern Nigerian support in the 2027 presidential election. He argues that voters are increasingly focused on leaders’ performance, development and living conditions, and that Atiku lacks the influence and acceptance once enjoyed by the late President Muhammadu Buhari. Kwankwaso also questions Atiku’s record during his eight years as vice president and says Bola Ahmed Tinubu will remain a strong contender in the North.

Trump signs order launching women’s health division at NIH

Donald Trump signed an executive order in Washington on Monday to establish a women’s health division at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and a White House task force on the issue. Spearheaded by Melania Trump, the initiative requires the division to be created within 90 days and aims to speed scientific discoveries, expand access to care and modernise healthcare throughout women’s lives. The new division will have a broader mandate than research and will not replace the NIH’s Office of Research on Women’s Health. Priorities include targeted research into diseases affecting women, such as endometriosis, and getting promising treatments to female patients sooner.
