From Francis Sadhere, Delta

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta Central Senatorial District has endorsed President Bola Tinubu and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori as their sole candidates for the 2027 general elections.The endorsement took place during the APC Delta Central Mega Unity Meeting in Ughelli, a gathering that brought together political heavyweights, party leaders, and faithful from across federal, state, and local levels to consolidate support for both leaders.

Rt. Hon. Francis Waive, who represents Ughelli/Udu Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, initiated the motion to adopt Tinubu and Oborevwori, citing Tinubu’s economic reforms and Oborevwori’s visionary leadership as the basis.
The motion was seconded by Hon. Halims Agoda, a former member of the House of Representatives, and unanimously approved through a voice vote conducted by Senator Ede Dafinone, who represents Delta Central.The meeting did more than endorse—it passed a vote of confidence in the leadership of both men, signaling a united front ahead of the 2027 elections.Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Chief Festus Keyamo, praised the gathering as a significant step toward strengthening internal party cohesion. Describing Tinubu as a masterful economic strategist, he also lauded the alignment between Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and Oborevwori’s MORE Agenda, calling their partnership a historic turning point for the state.“This is ‘Ukodo’ base,” Keyamo declared. “No other senatorial district should have taken this initiative from us. Since 1999, the Urhobo nation has never been this united. This time, Delta will deliver 100% to APC.”Keyamo stressed that similar unity meetings would be held across the eight local governments in Delta Central, extending to wards and polling units.APC State Chairman, Elder Omeni Sobotie, applauded the commitment of party members and credited the leadership of Governor Oborevwori and Keyamo for fostering unity. Chief Paulinus Akpeki, Delta Central APC Chairman, hailed the moment as a political rebirth for Delta State, especially with Oborevwori’s alignment with the APC.The event drew a strong attendance from elected officials, federal appointees, commissioners, local government chairmen, and other key stakeholders.Notable figures such as 2015 APC gubernatorial candidate Olorogun O’tega Emerhor, NEXIM Bank Executive Director Chief Stella Okotete, Chief Adviser to the Governor Senator Ighoyota Amori, and Chief Jaro Egbo, Chairman of Ughelli North, all echoed the commitment to collective success in 2027.With party leaders in rare alignment, the APC in Delta Central appears to have set the tone for a new chapter of unity and strategic collaboration ahead of the next electoral cycle.

Head of Political Office, Embassy of the Republic of Turkiye, Muzaiffer Hakan Tok who was exchanging views with the management team of Asset Media Group in Abuja, yesterday recalled the robust diplomatic, trade and cultural relationship between Nigeria and Turkiye.

While stressing the cordial relationship existing between the two nations over time, he said there was need for media practitioners to be further enlightened about those things that were common and binding between the two nations.

He applauded the people of Nigeria and the government for the hospitality accorded Turkish nationals in the country.

Earlier, Dr. Cletus Akwaya, Proprietor of Asset Media Group, owners of the Daily Asset Newspaper and Asset Television, said the visit was to explore ways of media partnership with the embassy.

He appealed to the Turkish Embassy in Nigeria to initiate avenues for exchange of visits between journalists of the two countries to enable them to enlighten and educate the public about opportunities that abound in the country.

By Tony Obiechina, Abuja

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has issued a public advisory urging Nigerians to use U.S. entry visas responsibly, following concerns raised by the United States government over visa misuse.

The NCS emphasized that Nigerian travelers must adhere strictly to the purpose stated in their visa applications, warning that engaging in activities inconsistent with their visa classification could lead to revocation.

It reminded the public that security screening by U.
S. authorities continues beyond the point of entry, and that visa holders remain under regular monitoring.

The agency also reiterated the importance of complying with U.

S. immigration laws, including import/export regulations. Travelers were further reminded to declare any cash in excess of $10,000 or its equivalent at entry or exit points, and to avoid carrying any prohibited items in their luggage.

NCS advised all passengers to maintain lawful conduct both within Nigeria and abroad, cautioning that fraudulent acts committed in any country could result in legal consequences under both Nigerian and U.S. laws.

Assuring continued collaboration with the U.S. Mission in Abuja, the NCS stated that efforts are ongoing to ensure Nigeria avoids inclusion in any future visa restrictions, thus safeguarding the travel rights of Nigerians with legitimate purposes for visiting the United States.
