Rise and shine! Here’s your crisp, need-to-know rundown of what went down while you were sleeping:
1. Rivers Court Pauses: The high-stakes impeachment drama against Gov. Fubara and his deputy hit a pause button. A Port Harcourt court has temporarily suspended its order blocking the probe, adjourning the case indefinitely.
2. Kano’ Political Exodus: After weeks of whispers, Gov. Abba Yusuf made it official: he’s left the NNPP. He didn’t go alone—a massive crew of lawmakers and local council chairs walked out with him, shaking the state’s political foundation.
3. Abuja Standstill: The NLC has fully joined the FCTA workers’ strike, turning up the heat with an “all-out confrontation” against what they call an “oppressive” administration. The capital city felt the full force yesterday.
