Special advisor to President Bola Tinubu, Mr. Daniel Bwala, went on Al Jazeera's "Head To Head" and received a humiliating flogging from host Mehdi Hasan. It was a lesson in lying while defending unpopular government policies. It also highlights the limits of gaslighting. Two-time Nigerian leader Olusegun Obasanjo turned 89 on March 5. President Bola Tinubu felicitated him on his birthday, describing him as a statesman whose towering influence in the country, Africa, and beyond is significant. The United States Embassy in Nigeria has cancelled all visa appointments in Abuja scheduled for Wednesday, March 4, 2026, citing a "high potential for protests" linked to escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran.

Alex Mascot Ikwechegh, member representing Aba North/Aba South Federal Constituency, confronted the Minister of Finance over ₦1.15 trillion in approved capital funds that remain undisbursed—with capital projects across Nigeria at 0% execution.

The committee comprises eight senior members. Governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum, has stated that the APC will win all the elections in the state and across Nigeria in 2027.

The Federal High Court on Thursday discharged and acquitted Kyari of 23 charges bordering on alleged non-declaration of assets filed against him by the NDLEA.
