Trump slams ex-lawyer’s $50m deal with pardoned banker’s family

Donald Trump called the more than $50 million contract signed by his former lawyer Alina Habba Mildon with the family of Venezuelan banker Julio Herrera Velutini “unacceptable.” According to The New York Times, she signed a four-year deal with a family-owned company in October 2025 while serving as acting US attorney for New Jersey. Herrera, accused of bribing former Puerto Rico Governor Wanda Vázquez Garced, reached a plea deal in August 2025 before receiving a presidential pardon from Trump. Habba Mildon later became a senior adviser at the Justice Department and officially began working for the banker’s family on January 1.

Kwankwaso has a much longer, more distinguished political résumé than Peter Obi, says Buhari’s former aide

Bashir Ahmad, a former media aide to late Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, said Rabiu Kwankwaso has a longer and more distinguished political résumé than Peter Obi, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate. In a post on X, Ahmad described the two men as political peers rather than a principal and subordinate, calling Kwankwaso’s decision to run as Obi’s running mate a sign of political humility. He noted that Kwankwaso was Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi entered national politics, and later served two terms as Kano State governor and as a federal minister. Ahmad contrasted that record with Obi’s former leadership of Anambra State.

Dele Alake, spokesperson for the APC Presidential Campaign Council, acknowledged that Bola Tinubu has not yet resolved Nigeria’s electricity challenges, three years into his presidency. He defended the administration’s measures, including the 2023 Electricity Act, which allows states to participate in the power sector, and a 4 trillion naira bond programme to settle verified debts. Alake said the programme’s first two phases raised more than 1.2 trillion naira, while the Presidential Metering Initiative provided meters to over 1.5 million customers. He also defended moving tariffs towards cost-reflective levels and said protections were in place for low-income households.
