Tinubu’s 90-Day Relief Plan Is a Ploy to Lure Voters, ADC Says

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Campaign Council accused President Bola Tinubu of using a 90-day cost-of-living relief plan to attract voters ahead of the 2027 election. Campaign communications director Phrank Shaibu said the vote is 86 days away, so the plan would end after Nigerians have voted, and urged voters to judge Tinubu by his record. He also criticized rising costs following the removal of the petrol subsidy and questioned the NNPC’s ₦66-per-litre discount, saying he paid ₦1,405 per litre at a station. Shaibu called on NNPC to disclose who benefited from the discount and raised concerns about an “Arise for Tinubu 2027” registration form requesting personal and bank details.

Coastal Road: ‘I’m a local champion; you’re a pretender’ — Gov. Diri replies to Duke

Bayelsa Governor Douye Diri called Donald Duke a “jester and pretender” after the former Cross River governor said the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway was unfeasible because of its cost and Bayelsa’s terrain. Duke had described Diri as a “local champion” in an interview on Arise Television. In a viral video, Diri embraced the label, saying he was elected to defend local people, and faulted Duke for doing nothing when Bakassi was ceded from Nigeria. Diri defended the development potential of coastal communities and thanked the president for backing the road project, which he said could address poverty and the dehumanising conditions faced by the region.
