Fresh political reactions continue following the Nigeria Democratic Congress's official zoning of its 2027 presidential ticket to the South at its national convention in Abuja, a move widely seen as boosting Peter Obi’s chances under the NDC platform. Obi delivered a fiery speech explaining why he left the ADC while criticising leaders who continue to benefit from Nigeria, as citizens struggle across the country.

Elsewhere, fresh reports suggest deepening cracks within the APC Governors Forum over alleged campaign funds linked to President Tinubu’s 2027 re-election plans. According to The Will Nigeria, governors reportedly made deductions from FAAC allocations into accounts allegedly controlled by Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma under structures tied to the “Renewed Hope” campaign project. The APC has also continued its screening of governors over the weekend, with Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara reportedly spending only minutes before the panel while avoiding questions from journalists afterwards.

In Kaduna State, a viral video of 30-year-old House of Representatives aspirant Muhammad Sadis Buba has sparked debate online after many Nigerians reacted to his youthful appearance during the APC screening for the Sabon Gari Zaria Federal Constituency seat.

Under milestones, elder statesman and Afenifere leader Pa Reuben Fasoranti is being celebrated across Nigeria as he marks his 100th birthday. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu described Fasoranti’s life as a symbol of integrity, honesty and leadership.

Finally, the 12th Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards dominated conversations in Lagos over the weekend as celebrities showcased African fashion and culture during the AMVCA Cultural Night. Actor Bucci Franklin also moved audiences after dedicating his Best Supporting Actor award for “To Kill A Monkey” to his late mother.
