INEC Warns Public On Declaring Results+ Wike Faults Atiku+ Adebayo Slams Tinubu+ Obi At NAF|OjyOkpe

INEC Chairman, Professor Joash Amupitan warned the media at a press conference in Abuja marking one hundred days to the 2027 election against declaring privately collated results, insisting that only INEC has that authority under the Electoral Act. He also revealed that the voter register now stands at 103 million and that a new artificial intelligence unit has been opened to combat deepfakes. Concurrently, Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde posted a video, holding up his Permanent Voter Card, urging Nigerians to use their PVC wisely regardless of who they choose. INEC has confirmed that collection begins on Friday, October 9th. Meanwhile, FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike says at town hall meetings in Obio-Akpor, Rivers State on Monday that President Bola Tinubu's re-election is always on his mind, even when he is sleeping or eating. He repeated his pledge to resign on January 17th if the President loses Rivers State on January 16th, and criticised Atiku Abubakar's call for Nigerians to collect politicians' money but vote against them, calling it dangerous and irresponsible. Social Democratic Party presidential candidate, Adewole Adebayo delivered a scathing critique of President Tinubu in Ibadan last week, accusing him of being more interested in remaining in Aso Rock and amassing wealth than providing leadership, and warning of deeper economic difficulties if he stays in office. In Abuja, retired police officers protested on Monday over years of neglect under the Contributory Pension Scheme, saying they had nothing to show for decades of service. One day later, the Federal Government announced it had cleared all inherited pension liabilities dating back to 2007 through a 758 billion naira intervention bond, which the National Pension Commission described as a decisive end to delayed benefits. Today, one of the most heartbreaking stories from Monday's Nigerian Air Force crash in Ondo State has emerged. Squadron Leader, Ahamefule Man-Ugwu-eje, one of the five crew members who died, had married his colleague, Flight Lieutenant, Damilola Adekunle on September 19th at the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Abuja, and videos from their wedding have since gone viral. Damilola is also the daughter of the late Wing Commander, E.O. Adekunle, one of thirteen military officers killed in the 2006 military aircraft crash in Benue State. On health matters, NAFDAC Director-General, Professor Mojisola Adeyeye sparked backlash by saying Nigerians are very ignorant for not reading product labels, in response to growing alarm over fake foods and medicines. Nigerians responded online with videos of garlic turning green, reports of banned medications in pharmacies and a list of fake milk and rice brands. Meanwhile, a News Central investigation found that when a journalist called NAFDAC's complaints hotline to report a banned malaria drug still being sold openly, the agency did not ask for the shop's name, address or location, raising questions about whether reports are acted upon. Finally, twenty-two-year-old Nigerian model, Rachel Ojuromi, known online as "Give Rachel A Shot," walked in the Chanel Spring Summer 2027 show at Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday. She went viral for recreating Chanel collections on the streets of Lagos with thrifted clothes and pieces from her own wardrobe, and signed with a modelling agency just one week before her Paris debut.
