President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is trending after describing himself as “stubborn,” claiming opponents are using insecurity to try to remove him, while insisting he won’t step down during a meeting with Caleb Mutfwang and other stakeholders on addressing violence in Plateau State. The President also touched on the scrutiny around his administration's frequent loan requests, defending his approach to borrowing while declaring that loans are not leprosy. Meanwhile, FCT Minister Nyesom Wike announced that President Tinubu approved land allocation in Abuja for ambassadors and high commissioners to give them a place to stay in Abuja when they return, instead of using hotels. Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore was seen exchanging words with former Attorney General Abubakar Malami at the Federal High Court in Abuja.

In another development, EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede revealed that cleric Jerry Eze was investigated for six months over alleged money laundering due to large international inflows into his accounts, but was eventually cleared of wrongdoing. He also noted that several other religious leaders are currently under investigation or have faced prosecution for financial crimes.
