BREAKING: Tinubu Dump Shettima, To Pick Kwankwaso As 2027 Running Mate

President Tinubu is reportedly tipped to dump Shettima and pick Kwankwaso as his 2027 running mate.

NaijaOnPoint Nigeria reports that President Bola Tinubu is reportedly considering replacing Vice President Kashim Shettima with former Kano governor Rabi’u Kwankwaso in the 2027 presidential race.

This move, according to Business Day , is gaining support among some stakeholders within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The development may explain why APC national chairman Abdullahi Ganduje avoided endorsing Shettima during a recent party meeting in Gombe State.

It was learnt that discussions are ongoing to bring Kwankwaso back into the APC fold

He has reportedly met with President Tinubu, and efforts are underway to get him to rejoin the party in time to strengthen Tinubu’s re-election chances.

Kwankwaso, who leads the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and controls Kano State politics through his Kwankwasiyya movement, is seen as a strong political force in the North.

With Kano being one of the largest voting blocs in the country, Tinubu’s team said his influence could be crucial in 2027.

In the 2023 elections, Kano recorded over 5.9 million registered voters, second only to Lagos.

Kwankwaso, who came fourth in the 2023 presidential election, is expected to help consolidate APC’s presence in Kano and across the North-West.

“Kwankwaso is being wooed to return to the party and has visited the President. But we need him to join early enough.

“He has what the President and our party need to ensure smooth re-election for President Bola Tinubu”, the source said.

Meanwhile, several political players in Northern Nigeria are working behind the scenes to take over the Vice President’s seat currently occupied by Kashim Shettima.

At least four governors from the North-East and North-West and two top lawmakers are believed to be positioning themselves for the role, as whispers grow within the All Progressives Congress (APC) about a possible change in the presidential ticket.

According to Punch , among those being quietly mentioned as possible replacements are the governors of Yobe, Gombe, Kaduna, and Katsina — Mai Mala Buni, Muhammadu Yahaya, Uba Sani, and Dikko Radda.

Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abass and Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin are also seen as interested in the seat.

Meanwhile, the opposition is not staying idle.

Talks are ongoing between former presidential candidates Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, who are working together alongside other political figures to form a new front against Tinubu.

The group is planning to register a new political party called the All Democratic Alliance (ADA) .

This coalition has attracted support from several influential politicians, including former governors and ministers such as David Mark, Nasir El-Rufai, Aminu Tambuwal, Rauf Aregbesola, and Babachir Lawal.

They have already set up a Platform Committee to handle the registration process with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and are finalizing the necessary documents.

The group decided to create a fresh party after failing to agree on merging with any of the existing ones.

I GOT ERASED BY MY OWN SISTER
FINALE
The door burst open, and Nneka stood there—alive, real, her eyes burning with a fire that had refused to die even in the darkest depths of the asylum.
Emeka’s breath caught in his throat.
"Nneka…?" His voice was barely a whisper, as if speaking too loud would shatter the illusion.
But she was real.
Her skin, once glowing, was now pale and thin. Her hair, once thick and lustrous, hung in limp strands. Her wrists bore the marks of restraints, her body frail from months of forced sedation. Yet, her spirit—*her will*—was unbroken.
Ngozi’s reaction was instant.
"NO!" she shrieked, her voice a guttural, animalistic snarl. "YOU’RE DEAD! YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE GONE!"
She lunged, fingers curled into claws, aiming for Nneka’s throat.
The police officers, who had followed Nneka and her parents inside, moved swiftly. Two of them grabbed Ngozi, wrenching her back, but she fought like a rabid beast, kicking, screaming, spitting curses.
"SHE STOLE EVERYTHING FROM ME! IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MINE!"
Nneka didn’t flinch. She stood tall, her gaze locked onto her sister’s deranged face.
"You did this to yourself, Ngozi."
The evidence against Ngozi was overwhelming.
1. The Poison Plot – The spilled wine was tested. Forensic experts confirmed it was laced with a lethal, untraceable toxin. Emeka’s glass had been moments away from his lips.
2. The Asylum Records – Nurse Adaeze testified, presenting forged documents Ngozi had used to commit Nneka under a false identity.
3. The Financial Crimes** – Bank statements revealed Ngozi had drained Nneka’s business accounts, spending millions on luxury
shopping sprees and parties.
4. The Fake Suicide – The "suicide note" by the river was proven to be Ngozi’s handwriting, not Nneka’s.
Ngozi’s defense crumbled.
The trial was swift. Ngozi, dressed in an ill-fitting orange jumpsuit, sat in the defendant’s chair, her once-perfect makeup replaced by dark circles and a permanent scowl.
When the judge read the charges—attempted murder, fraud, identity theft, false imprisonment—Ngozi’s composure snapped.
"SHE DESERVED IT!" she screamed, pointing at Nneka, who sat calmly beside Emeka. *l"SHE HAD EVERYTHING! OUR PARENTS LOVED HER MORE! MEN WANTED HER MORE! EVEN HER ****** BUSINESS WAS BETTER THAN ANYTHING I COULD DO!"
The courtroom fell silent.
For the first time, everyone saw the truth—Ngozi wasn’t just evil. She was broken.
But brokenness wasn’t an excuse for monstrosity.
The judge’s voice was steel.
"For your crimes, you are sentenced to thirty years in federal prison—twenty-five for attempted murder and fraud, and an additional five for the poisoning plot. You will be eligible for parole in twenty years, though given the nature of your actions, I doubt the board will look favorably upon you."
Ngozi’s face twisted in rage.
"NO! YOU CAN’T DO THIS TO ME!"
She lunged again, this time at the judge, but the bailiffs restrained her. As they dragged her away, she locked eyes with Nneka one last time.
"THIS ISN’T OVER!" she howled.
But it was.
Ngozi was sent to a maximum-security prison, where she would spend her days in hard labor, her beauty fading, her rage festering.
Her parents disowned her publicly.
"We have only one daughter now,"* her father said in an interview, his voice heavy with grief.
Emeka was haunted by guilt.
"I should have known," he whispered one night, holding Nneka’s scarred hands. *"I married her thinking it was you. I slept under the same roof as that monster while you suffered."
Nneka cupped his face.
"You couldn’t have known. She was that good at pretending. But now… we move forward."
Three months later, on a sunlit beach, Nneka walked down the aisle—this time, for real.
She wore a flowing white gown, her hair braided elegantly, her smile radiant.
Emeka, dressed in a crisp black suit, wept as she approached.
Their vows were simple.
"After everything… I choose you. Always."
The guests—family, friends, even Nurse Adaeze—cheered as they kissed.
They traveled to the Maldives, then Paris, then Bali—making up for lost time.
Nneka’s business, Naturé by Nneka, was relaunched. With Emeka’s support, it became even more successful than before.
Two years later, Nneka gave birth to twin boys—healthy, beautiful, with their mother’s bright eyes and their father’s strong features.
As she held them for the first time, she whispered:
"You will never know the kind of evil that exists in this world… because I will spend my life protecting you from it."
Ngozi remained in prison, her screams fading into silence.
Nneka thrived—her heart healing, her life full.
And as for Emeka?
He loved her more fiercely than ever.
Because after all they had endured…
They had won.
THE END.

Love sweet o ❤

Affirm With Me:

Today, I choose peace over pressure, faith over fear, and grace over guilt.
I am grounded, present, and grateful for the gift of a new day.
I let go of what I cannot control and embrace all that is aligned with my growth.
I am worthy of love, abundance, and everything beautiful life has to offer.
My energy is calm, my soul is rooted, and my heart is open to receive.
Every breath I take is a reminder that I am alive, strong, and capable.
I speak kindly to myself and believe in the power within me.
Doors of favor are opening, and divine connections are flowing toward me.
Today is filled with miracles, laughter, and light.
I walk boldly into the day, knowing that I am enough.

This news not make me happy about former governor of oyo state late Adebayo Alao Akala 's children
Crisis rocks Alao-Akala’s family as daughter seeks DNA test for siblings, exhumation of ex-Gov’s body
by Segun Showunmi, Ibadan
A legal battle has broken out in the family of former Oyo Governor Otunba Christopher Adebayo Alao-Akala after his first daughter, Mrs Oluwatoyin Alao-Aderinto, approached an Oyo State High Court sitting in Ibadan for an order for a Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) test on seven individuals claiming to be biological children of the deceased.
She is also seeking for an application for the exhumation of the late Governor’s body to carry out the DNA test.
In a suit filed before Justice Taiwo of Court 12 at the State High Court, ring road, Ibadan with Motion Number I/443/2024, Alao-Aderinto, through her counsel, Oladipo Olasope (SAN), is praying the court to direct that the DNA tests be carried out on herself, including siblings, Olamide, Adebukola, Olamipo, Olamiju, a serving member of the House of Representatives, Tabitha and Olamikunle, as listed in the motion on notice filed before the court.
She also said the tests be conducted at a court approved, accredited laboratory to determine their true biological relationship with the late Governor.
As part of the application, Alao-Aderinto is also seeking an order of court, directing exhumation of Otunba Alao-Akala’s remains from the mausoleum built in the former governor’s Ogbomoso country home for the purpose of carrying out the paternity test.
The results of the tests, she pleaded, should be filed under a sealed envelope and delivered directly to the presiding Judge for pronouncement in open court.
The fresh application brought before the court is a new twist in what has become a messy and prolonged family feud over the vast estate of the late politician, who died intestate on January 12, 2022.
The crisis, which has been brewing silently since his burial became public in October 2022 when one Kemi Alao-Akala and Olamide Alabi, believed to be one of the deceased’s daughters, obtained a Letter of Administration from the Oyo State Probate Registry without the knowledge or consent of Oluwatoyin, the first child.
According to Alao-Aderinto, this singular act was a deliberate and unlawful exclusion that contravene applicable laws guiding intestate succession in Nigeria.
In her affidavit and accompanying exhibit filed in support of her motion, she accused the duo of manipulating facts to claim sole control over the estate, despite the presence of other biological children and heirs.
The estate in question is said to be massive, spreading across several properties in Ibadan, Lagos, Abuja, United Kingdom and the United States of America, including a five-star hotel in Ghana, vehicles and multiple bank accounts containing hundreds of millions in naira, dollars and pounds sterling.
Her position on the deceased father’s estate stems from the strong resolve at ensuring that every individual, including nuclear and extended family members, aides of the former Governors, who served him meritoriously without blemish and yet to identified children among many others are catered for, as against the alleged winner- takes-it -all approach adopted by the duo of the defendants.
The said administrators listed only seven individuals as legal heirs but the position, as articulated by her counsel, is that there is no consensus on the paternity of these persons and the inclusion of some and exclusion of others in the administration of the deceased’s estate raises troubling questions of authenticity and equity. It is on this basis she seeks judicial intervention through scientific means.
In an August 2023 letter made public, her counsel Oladipo Olasope SAN, warned that the exclusion of the claimant who is the first daughter of the late Alao-Akala, violated both moral norms and legal rights, stressing that unless resolved, the dispute could further polarise the family and damage the late governor’s political legacy.

*The Marriage Advice ..*


1. **Choose Love, Always:** Even in moments when you find it hard to like each other, choose to love. Love is a commitment, not just a feeling.

2. **Be Present:** Always answer the phone when your spouse calls. When you're together, try to keep your phone off, giving each other your full attention.

3. **Prioritize Time Together:** Make time with your spouse a top priority. Budget for regular date nights because time is the currency of relationships, and investing in your marriage is key.

4. **Surround Yourself with Support:** Keep company with friends who strengthen your marriage. Distance yourself from those who might tempt you to compromise your character.

5. **Laugh Together:** Make laughter the soundtrack of your marriage. Share joyful moments, and even in tough times, find reasons to laugh together.

6. **Team Up in Arguments:** In every disagreement, remember that you’re on the same team. There’s no winner or loser; you either win together or lose together. Work as partners to find solutions.

7. **Be Each Other’s Strength:** A strong marriage isn’t about both being strong at the same time. It’s about taking turns being strong for each other when one of you feels weak.

8. **Value Intimacy:** Prioritize what happens in the bedroom. While a strong marriage takes more than s=x, it’s nearly impossible to build a strong marriage without it.

9. **Give 100%, Not 50/50:** Marriage isn’t about splitting everything down the middle. Divorce is 50/50; marriage is 100/100, with both partners giving their all.

10. **Give Your Best:** Offer your best self to each other, not just the leftovers after you’ve given your best to everyone else.

11. **Embrace Uniqueness:** Learn from others, but resist comparing your marriage to anyone else’s. Your life is uniquely yours.

12. **Don’t Put Marriage on Hold:** Don’t neglect your marriage while raising your kids, or you might end up with an empty nest and an empty marriage.

13. **Be Transparent:** Never keep secrets from each other. Secrecy is the enemy of intimacy.

14. **Build Trust:** Never lie to each other. Trust is the foundation of a strong marriage, and lies will break it.

15. **Admit Mistakes:** When you’ve made a mistake, admit it and seek forgiveness humbly. Be quick to say, “I was wrong. I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”

16. **Forgive Quickly:** When trust is broken, be quick to forgive. This promotes healing and opens the door for trust to be rebuilt. Say, “I love you. I forgive you. Let’s move forward.”

17. **Practice Patience:** Your spouse is more important than your schedule. Be patient with each other.

18. **Model Love for Your Children:** Live the kind of marriage that inspires your sons to be good husbands and your daughters to be good wives.

19. **Protect Your Spouse:** Never speak badly about your spouse to others or vent about them online. Always protect them, in all places and at all times.

20. **Wear Your Ring:** Your wedding ring is a constant reminder that you’re connected to your spouse and that you’re off-limits to the rest of the world.

21. **Connect to Faith:** Being part of a faith community can make a world of difference in your marriage and family.

22. **Pray Together:** A marriage is stronger with God at its center. Pray together regularly.

23. **Choose Kindness:** If you have to choose between saying nothing or saying something mean to your spouse, choose to say nothing every time.

24. **Stay Committed:** Never consider annulment as an option. A perfect marriage is just two imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other.

The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be.

True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future.
