The United Action Front of the Civil Society, a coalition of Citizens Groups and eminent civil society leaders has asked President Bola Tinubu to urgently fix hardship in the country; otherwise there won’t be Nigeria in 2027.
According to the group, Tinubu should tackle the unbearable hunger and hardship being experienced by Nigerians or perish the thought that there will a 2027 for him to engage Nigerians or seek their votes again
In a press statement on Thursday signed by Mallam Hamisu San Turaki, Spokesperson, United Action Front of the Civil Society,
National Secretariat, the group carpeted the jab by President Tinubu on Thursday in Lagos, while commissioning the red line, where the President noted that if Labour is interested in the electoral process they should meet him in 2027 and that Labour is not the only voice of the people.
“For us, this statement by Tinubu is not only delusional but malicious against the pro people Labour Movement operating in open society of Nigeria,” the group stated.
“Our well-considered position on this matter is that the way things are today in the country, if nothing drastic is done to stem the tide, the masses of the Nigerian people will have no choice but be forced to storm and occupy the Aso Presidential Villa and all other Government Houses in Nigeria within the next few weeks, especially if the hunger and hardship in the country is allowed to persist and fester to the extent there may not be that 2027, which Tinubu and his co travellers savour so much and hope for.
“Therefore, we wish to advise the Tinubu Government that rather than chastise Labour for providing an organised and peaceful voice to the pervasive anger and disenchantment in the land, they should have been commended and encouraged because alternative voices if allowed vent could be have more ruthless and disruptive, just as history has proven to mankind that those who “make peaceful change impossible in history make violent change inevitable”
“To this end, as responsible leaders of the organised Civil Society of Nigeria, who participated fully in the national mass protest championed by Labour, we wish to caution Tinubu strongly not to see organised bodies of the open society of Nigeria like the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) as enemies of government or politically motivated to challenge the negative economic policies of his administration but as sincere partners in progress different from sycophants and jobbers around corridors of power,” the statement added.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has officially been sworn in for a seventh consecutive term after securing victory in the country’s disputed January elections, extending his nearly four-decade rule.
Tight security was observed across Kampala ahead of the inauguration ceremony, with armoured vehicles and security operatives deployed around key areas. Authorities said the measures were put in place to maintain order during the event.
Museveni, 81, was declared winner of the presidential election with more than 70 percent of the vote and is expected to remain in office until 2031. His main challenger, Bobi Wine, rejected the outcome, alleging widespread electoral malpractice including ballot stuffing. Electoral officials denied the accusations and maintained that the poll was credible.
Bobi Wine, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, later fled Uganda, claiming he feared for his safety and accusing the government of targeting opposition figures.
Museveni first took power in 1986 after leading a rebel movement and has since remained one of Africa’s longest-serving leaders. Analysts believe this latest term could potentially be his last, although he has not publicly indicated any plans to step down.
Attention has also turned to Museveni’s son, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who is widely seen as a possible successor. However, the military chief has faced criticism over controversial social media posts directed at opposition politicians.
At least 100 civilians were killed in a Nigerian military airstrike on a crowded market in Tumfa, Zurmi Local Government Area of Zamfara State, northwest Nigeria, Amnesty International said on Tuesday.
The strike hit the remote market on Sunday, May 10, 2026, with many victims reportedly being women and girls.
This is now the second deadly airstrike on a crowded market in northern Nigeria within the past one month, following a similar incident in April that reportedly killed more than 100 people.
Amnesty International has called on Nigerian authorities to immediately open an independent and thorough investigation into the incident.
Nigeria has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Jordan on defence cooperation and intelligence sharing.
According to the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, the agreement was signed in Amman, Jordan, during a meeting with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Jordanian Armed Forces, Major General Yousef A. Alhnaity.
Matawalle said that the partnership is aimed at strengthening collaboration between both countries in tackling evolving security threats, especially crimes and attacks that are asymmetric and cross-border in nature.
He added that the agreement reflects the commitment of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration to promoting peace, security, and stability across the country through strategic
