Atiku Calls Tinubu Dull Student+Peter Obi Slams Tinubu’s Discount+Tenebe Will Bite Obi’s Ear|OjyOkpe

ADC presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar compared President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to a dull student who copied a classmate's work and demanded marks for original thinking. He said the thirty-day fuel discount is a copy of his production subsidy proposal with the key safeguards stripped out, calling it a "sugar rush" masquerading as economic policy.

Concurrently, the Presidency and Aviation Minister, Festus Keyamo accused Atiku of disrespect for calling the President "Bola" in his broadcast. Atiku's spokesman, Phrank Shaibu fired back, calling that "wretched illiteracy."

A resurfaced 2014 video of Tinubu calling then-President Goodluck Jonathan by name at an APC rally in Ibadan is being shared as a rebuttal.

Meanwhile, NDC presidential candidate, Peter Obi described the fuel discount as another reactive and confused approach to governance. In a post on X, he said a discount of less than five percent cannot reduce poverty, unemployment, insecurity or inequality, and accused the administration of substituting political optics for sound policy.

Finance Minister, Taiwo Oyedele insisted on live television that the discount is not a subsidy, explaining that NNPC Retail is simply taking a smaller margin with no public funds involved. Online reactions say the effect is the same, while wholesale depot prices are reportedly nearing 1,900 naira per litre and many Nigerians live far from an NNPC station.

A resurfaced clip shows Peter Obi challenging anyone to show a video of him vowing never to leave APGA, placed beside footage of him making that declaration twice. Obi responded that every presidential candidate has switched parties and that he has given his reasons, including threats from the ruling party.

At Assumpta Cathedral in Owerri, Imo State, Peter Obi also called for an end to systemic corruption, accusing Nigerian political leaders of undermining the country's development through corruption and mismanagement of public funds.

In Edo State, APC Chairman, Jarrett Tenebe has doubled down on his AK-47 fire remark in an interview with Tribune Online, saying he was only wishing opponents AK-47 fire the way Christians wish enemies Holy Ghost fire. He also said he would spit in Atiku's face and bite Peter Obi's ear, drawing fresh backlash over reckless language ahead of the election.

Fresh allegations have emerged from the NAF 931 crash investigation. The brother of Sergeant Esther Ani, one of the twenty-five who died in Igbokoda, claims she told him the aircraft developed a technical fault in Benin City on October 4th and was grounded overnight, before taking off shortly after. The Nigerian Air Force says any flagged aircraft does not fly, that the snag was cleared and a ground run confirmed satisfactory, and that her official next of kin, her mother, was visited within forty-eight hours. This has also raised questions about military welfare, as she reportedly had to ask her brother for money.

In Delta State, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori announced a fifty million naira education support fund for Junior Technical student, Davina Ogheneovo after she gave an impromptu speech at the commissioning of the new Model Technical College in Ethiope West. She said she would vote for him in 2027 if she were eighteen, and the governor announced an immediate assessment of all public schools for rehabilitation.

Media mogul, Mo Abudu has opened EbonyLife Place London, the UK's first cinema dedicated exclusively to African films, in the presence of London Mayor, Sadiq Khan and Lagos State Commissioner for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Toke Benson-Awoyinka. The venue also features a Nigerian restaurant, a lounge, a retail space for African fashion and an art gallery.

Finally, Afrobeats star, Ayra Starr became the first African artist to headline an NFL international game halftime show, performing "Rush," "Hot Body" and "Heaven Baby" at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
