NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi has accused officials of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) of preventing him from greeting the Flamingos following their return to Nigeria after the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.

Obi alleged that he was told officials would lose their jobs if they allowed him to approach the team. He described the incident as an example of what he called "toxic politics" in Nigeria and recalled a similar experience in Uyo in March 2025.

Tinubu Dares Atiku to Explain How He Funded His University While Vice President

President Bola Tinubu has asked former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to account for how he financed the founding of his university while in office. He accused Atiku of using public resources to advance private interests.

Tinubu made the claim at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. He asked residents to renew the mandate they gave him and Vice President Kashim Shettima in 2023, as he seeks a second term in the presidential election on January 16, 2027.

Answering opposition criticism over the rising cost of living, Tinubu said some of those blaming his government for hardship helped create the problems it inherited. “Those people, talking of hunger, are clearly the mess they created. Atiku was one of them,” he said.

He then turned to Atiku’s university: “Ask him how he built the university, while he was in office as vice president in charge of our economy. Who built the university for you? It’s your money. It’s your effort.”

Tinubu defended his economic policies, saying 27 of Nigeria’s 36 states could not pay salaries when he took office and that his government has since improved the situation.

He also thanked Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara for how he handled the political crisis that had threatened the stability of the state government. “When we intervened, you respected our position. You maintained peace. You are a committed democrat. Fubara, you will not regret what you have done,” Tinubu said.

Recalling the support Rivers voters gave him in 2023, he said: “Rivers State, you have been good to me. In 2023, when I looked very helpless, you stood out to support me. Today again, I return here to say thank you. And seek your support for the second term.”

Shettima also urged Rivers voters to back the ticket for another term. He accused opposition politicians of trying to discredit Tinubu for political gain. He singled out Peter Obi, the Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate, saying Obi had been “diligently philosophizing himself into political relevance.”
