Nigerian newspapers review: [2027] Tinubu’s ex-ministers face tough battles in states

The resignation of four ministers from the Federal Executive Council and four agency heads from Bola Tinubu's administration to pursue their 2027 political ambitions has altered the permutations for governorship and National Assembly races in several states. At least 16 people were killed in separate violent incidents in Benue and Kaduna states during Easter celebrations, prompting urgent calls for stronger security measures. Additionally, President Tinubu has approved a payment plan to settle outstanding debts under the Presidential Power Sector Financial Reforms Programme.
