AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

APC Primaries Heat Up 2027: President Bola Tinubu swept APC presidential direct primaries across wards, with early results pointing to near-unanimous support and a “grassroots internal democracy” narrative—while opposition and party-watchers keep questioning whether primaries truly reflect voters’ choice. ADC Opposition Fractures: In Enugu, ADC youth leaders rejected claims they back Atiku and instead backed Rotimi Amaechi for the 2027 ticket; elsewhere, Senator Ireti Kingibe alleged violent assault and brief hostage-taking at an ADC secretariat. Xenophobia Pressure in South Africa: Durban authorities moved Nigerians and other Africans to an immigration screening centre, renewing fears of Afrophobia and triggering fresh calls for protection and fair treatment. Economy & Markets: States’ IGR race shows Lagos, Ogun and Enugu leading in Q1 2026 as fiscal pressure pushes more local revenue efforts; meanwhile, the naira reportedly slipped at the official market. Humanitarian Returns: 497 stranded Nigerians were repatriated from Niger Republic to Kano under IOM-facilitated returns.
