President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has departed Abuja for an official three-nation tour that will take him to France, Kenya, and Rwanda. His trip was first announced in a statement signed on Friday by Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy. In a follow-up update on Saturday, Onanuga confirmed that the journey, earlier scheduled for Saturday, had been shifted to begin on Sunday.

According to the presidency, the visit will commence with a stop in France before President Tinubu proceeds to Nairobi, where he is expected to participate in the Africa-France Summit. The summit, co-chaired by Emmanuel Macron and William Ruto, is slated for May 11–12 and will focus on issues such as energy transition, green industrialisation, digital transformation, global financial reforms, and climate action.

The presidency noted that Tinubu’s participation underscores Nigeria’s commitment to strengthening strategic ties with both African nations and the French Republic. The summit, themed “Africa Forward: Africa-France Partnerships for Innovation and Growth,” will provide a forum for leaders to discuss key areas including climate resilience, economic transformation, infrastructure development, youth empowerment, technological progress, and peace-building initiatives.

Following the summit in Kenya, President Tinubu is scheduled to travel to Kigali for the annual Africa CEO Forum taking place from May 14 to 15. This year’s forum, themed “Scale or Fail,” is expected to be the continent’s largest gathering of private-sector leaders, investors, and policymakers, with discussions centred on accelerating Africa’s economic transformation through regional integration, shared scale, and expanded cross-border investments.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has announced that its 2026 Policy Meeting on Admissions will take place on Monday, May 11, where crucial decisions—including the minimum cut-off marks for the 2026/2027 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) cycle—will be finalized. The announcement was made in a statement issued on Sunday by the board’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin.

According to the statement, the meeting will be held at the Body of Benchers Auditorium located in the Institute and Research District, FCC Phase III, Jabi, within Abuja. The event will be attended by major education stakeholders, and key policy directions will be formally presented by the Maruf Alausa, who serves as the Minister of Education.

JAMB noted that the annual policy meeting remains a vital platform where stakeholders collectively determine the minimum acceptable UTME score, as well as broader admission guidelines for universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education. It also serves as an avenue to harmonize admission procedures across all tertiary institutions in the country.

The board added that the 2026/2027 admission exercise will officially commence following the meeting, emphasizing that participating institutions must strictly adhere to the agreed-upon policies. The gathering is expected to reinforce compliance and ensure that schools maintain transparency and fairness throughout their admission processes.

Former 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has announced plans to leave the African Democratic Congress, citing internal disputes and ongoing legal battles within the party. He revealed his decision in a statement posted on his official X handle on Sunday, shortly after former Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso made a similar declaration about his own political direction.

In his statement, Obi explained that many Nigerians do not understand the silent emotional and psychological burdens that some public figures carry while trying to serve with sincerity. He described the daily struggles as “private battles” fought in an increasingly challenging political atmosphere. According to him, the environment has become toxic, with systems that should support citizens instead contributing to their difficulties.

Obi also lamented rising insecurity, intimidation, and unrelenting public scrutiny, noting that these pressures have become normalized in Nigeria’s current political climate. He expressed disappointment that even individuals and groups with whom he expected solidarity sometimes added to his challenges. Some, he said, publicly associate with him but privately withdraw or join in unfair criticism.

He emphasized that these internal and external pressures within the ADC contributed significantly to his decision to exit the party. According to him, the lack of consistency and genuine support from certain stakeholders made it increasingly difficult to remain. His announcement adds to the growing list of political realignments as Nigeria’s political landscape continues to shift ahead of upcoming elections.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has faulted President Bola Tinubu’s economic policies, arguing that Nigerian workers are facing worsening hardship due to reforms that have intensified the cost-of-living crisis. In his Workers’ Day message posted on X, he said the 2026 celebration offered little joy, instead serving as a reminder of the growing difficulties confronting the nation’s workforce.

Atiku criticized the removal of fuel subsidy, noting that while the policy was necessary, its ex*****on was mishandled. According to him, the government implemented the reform hastily and without adequate safeguards, resulting in sharp increases in transport fares, food prices, and other essential goods. He added that wages have not been adjusted to reflect the new economic reality, leaving workers to absorb pressures that should have been eased by better governance.

He further questioned how the funds saved from the subsidy removal are being managed, noting that despite claims of trillions of naira saved, Nigerians have seen no meaningful improvements in their daily lives. This, he said, raises serious concerns about transparency, accountability, and the government’s priorities, especially at a time when many citizens are struggling to afford basic necessities.

Atiku urged the Federal Government to implement urgent measures such as wage reviews, strengthened social support systems, and increased investment in key sectors like healthcare and education. He stressed that economic reforms must be people-centred and truly improve workers’ living conditions. Reaffirming his solidarity with Nigerian workers, he stated that their resilience should not be mistaken for acceptance of hardship and called on the government to take decisive action.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has formally petitioned the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, requesting immediate intervention to fast-track judgment in the appeal involving the party factions led by former Senate President David Mark and Nafiu Bala.
The party warned that continued delays could jeopardise its ability to participate in the 2027 general elections.

In a letter dated April 28, 2026, and signed by ADC counsel, Shaibu Aruwa, the party informed the CJN that the appeal was heard on April 22, 2026, after which judgment was reserved, with the court promising to communicate a date later.

However, the ADC expressed deep concern over rapid developments stemming from the case. According to the letter, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has already acted on a lower court judgment in Appeal No: CA/ABJ/145/2026, resulting in the derecognition of the party’s leadership.

The party argues that this action has left it without a formally recognised national leadership structure, despite its status as a fully registered political party in Nigeria.

The ADC’s letter urged the CJN to ensure speedy adjudication to prevent what it described as “irreparable political harm” ahead of the 2027 polls.
