In the backdrop of drama, chaos and controversy, both chambers of the National Assembly retained manual transmission as a fallback in the event of electronic failure despite fierce opposition.

In a tragic development, Anthony Ifeanyi Ogbu, son of abducted veterinary doctor Dr Ifeanyi Ogbu, resurfaced months after his family was kidnapped in Kungabokun.

Meanwhile, former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai faced renewed scrutiny following disclosures around alleged arrest attempts and charges. The 2019 disappearance of Abubakar Idris, known as Dadiyata, resurfaced alongside trending videos of El Rufai with President Bola Tinubu.

Debate also followed comments by Lagos cleric Prophet Sam Olu Alo, backing the 2027 elections during Ramadan and Lent to discourage malpractice.

A viral clip from Tinubu’s visit to Adamawa State showed a woman spraying musician Dauda Rarara with Naira notes, raising fresh concerns over abuse of the currency.

In the medical space, concerns were raised after Doctor Adeola Oyerinde documented a 24-hour solo shift covering multiple wards, highlighting the pressure in Nigeria’s health system.

In another development, a viral video by Mark Pollard sparked controversy after he questioned why begging culture is so prevalent in Nigeria, recounting being repeatedly asked for money at the airport, security checkpoints and his hotel during a recent visit.

Globally, tributes continue for US civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, who died at 84. Born in segregated South Carolina, he worked alongside Martin Luther King Jr., founded the Rainbow Coalition and twice ran for US president, leaving a lasting legacy in the fight for racial justice.
