Tundu Lissu’s Brother, Advocate Alute Mughwai, Dies Suddenly in Arusha

Lawyer Alute Mughwai Lissu, brother of Tanzanian opposition leader Tundu Lissu, died in Arusha during the night of October 31 or early on November 1, 2026. His sister, Rose Masesa, announced his death but did not give a cause; the family plans to bury him after the November 6 court ruling in Tundu Lissu’s case. The CHADEMA leader has been imprisoned since his April 2025 arrest and faces treason charges. In a recent interview, Alute Mughwai said he had refused a government official’s request to persuade his brother to seek amnesty and wanted answers about the 2017 attack on Tundu Lissu.

2027: Biggest political game changer will be Obidients backing Atiku, aide says in jibe at Peter Obi

He predicts that many will come to see Atiku, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, as the only challenger to Bola Tinubu with momentum. Olarewaju recalled that Atiku, Peter Obi and Tinubu were all considered better options than Muhammadu Buhari in the last election, but said Tinubu proved that expectation wrong. He described removing Tinubu from office as a righteous mission for Nigeria.

Chairman Chief Comrade Sunday Ndidi Enujeke and Secretary High Comrade Joseph Lamienghan said the views in the publication belong to its author alone. Over the dispute concerning a 30% payment to DESOPADEC workers, HOSTCOM urged workers and management to keep the peace and await the court’s ruling. The organization supports the goals of Oborevwori’s MORE Agenda but called for engagement on DESOPADEC funding, its statutory duties, transparency and the welfare of oil-producing communities.

He said critics had omitted the candidate’s qualification that he would owe Nigerians an adequate explanation if he fell short before seeking a second term. The council said the 2023 Electricity Act opened the sector to state participation, a 4 trillion naira bond programme is addressing legacy debts, and more than 1.5 million customers have received meters through a presidential initiative.
