APC 2027 Ticket Locked In: Nigeria’s APC presidential primary results are being collated in Abuja, with party chairman Nentawe Yilwatda calling the process “transparent” and dismissing viral claims of miscounting. Presidential Primary Outcome: Bola Tinubu has defeated challenger Stanley Osifo, polling 10.99 million votes to Osifo’s 16,504, and has accepted the ticket while the certificate-of-return process moves forward. Mining Royalties Overhaul: The Nigeria Revenue Service says new solid-minerals tax laws put royalty collection under one “clear address,” aiming to cut leakages and illegal mining. Migration Relief Continues: NEMA received another 329 stranded Nigerians from Niger Republic in Kano, with more repatriations reported in recent days. Benin Leadership Shift: In Cotonou, Benin’s president-elect Romuald Wadagni was sworn in, pledging security focus and growth that reaches ordinary people; Nigeria’s VP Shettima backed stronger Nigeria-Benin ties. NPFL Finale: Rangers were crowned 2025/26 NPFL champions after a 2-1 win over Ikorodu City.
