In today’s Nigerian newspapers review programme, Today in the News, Vanguard leads with state governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, at daggers drawn with Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, over the creation of parallel political structures believed capable of undermining President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
Another headline features the President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, saying Nigerians were still paying high prices for petrol despite the commencement of large-scale domestic refining, and that local production does not completely insulate the country from global crude oil prices and market disruptions.
Vanguard also reports that the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, said he has no objection to the release of his academic records amid reports of a legal action seeking certified true copies of his certificates and other educational documents.
Moving to another newspaper, The Guardian leads with Nigeria risking crisis-level energy costs and micro squeeze as escalating disruptions to oil supplies push global prices toward $120 a barrel, threatening refined product price stability and pushing millions of already strained households to the edge.
The Punch reports that motorists and commuters on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway were trapped in gridlock for over 14 hours on Tuesday after a multiple-vehicle crash at the Kara Bridge compounded ongoing repair works on the bridge.
Lastly, The Nation leads with the Oba of Benin, Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku’Akpolokpolo Ewuare II, saying President Tinubu deserves re-election.
