Learn leadership from Macron amid killings and hardship, ADC tells Tinubu

The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council (ADC-PCC) urged President Bola Tinubu on Sunday to learn from Emmanuel Macron and show greater empathy for Nigerians facing insecurity, hunger and rising living costs.

The council raised alarm over attacks across several states and the reported detention of more than 60 young people in Niger State, with more than 37 said to have died in custody.

Côte d’Ivoire: Friedrich Naumann Foundation calls for women’s alliances in decision-making

In Abidjan on October 23, 2026, Alexandra Heldt, West Africa regional director of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom, called for stronger trust networks and alliances among women to increase their influence over public decisions. Speaking at a networking luncheon during the second edition of the Women’s Political Forum, she said that presence in assemblies and political parties is not enough: women must take part in shaping public policy and making decisions. She put women’s share of seats in Côte d’Ivoire’s National Assembly at 13–14%, compared with about 41% in Senegal, nearly 30% in Mali and Guinea, and 32% in Germany’s Bundestag. Around 40 participants from five countries had attended workshops the previous day on women’s rights, legal remedies, political communication, artificial intelligence, disinformation, and online harassment.

Cameroon Vice-President Appointment: Paul Biya Fears His Own Succession, Political Analyst Says

Political analyst Stéphane Menounga believes the absence of a vice-president in Cameroon may reflect Paul Biya’s personal concerns about succession. He says the April 2026 constitutional reform gives the vice-president a role in determining whether the president is permanently unable to serve, and that Biya may fear an appointment could hasten that process. The post has remained vacant since its reintroduction in the Constitution, despite calls for an appointment. At 93, Biya retains the final decision over his future vice-president.
