Ribadu’s Fall: A Bitter Lesson in Tinubu’s APC Nuhu Ribadu just got a political slap that many Northern politicians have learned the hard way: in Tinubu’s APC, no one is untouchable. Not even a former EFCC boss turned National Security Adviser. Make no mistake—this was not routine. The appointment of retired Major General Adeyinka Famadewa into the security architecture was deliberate, a quiet yet unmistakable signal: Ribadu’s star is fading. Titles mean nothing when access to the president dwindles. Influence lives in whispers behind closed doors, not on letterheads. For nearly two years, Ribadu was untouchable—or so it seemed. Direct…

By Chiemeka ugwowo ARSENAL ENDS 22-YEAR WAIT: PREMIER LEAGUE GLORY IS OURS! Arsenal have officially reclaimed the Premier League crown after a 22-year wait, as Manchester City’s hopes were dashed by Bournemouth on Tuesday. The Gunners’ long-awaited triumph comes after City, champions in six of the past eight seasons, failed to secure the win they needed to keep the title race alive.
