In today’s Nigerian newspapers review programme, Today in the News, Vanguard leads with the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, clashing with state governors at the national secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abuja.
Another headline features President Bola Tinubu directing Vice President Kashim Shettima to visit Kebbi State to console the government and reassure families of the kidnapped schoolgirls that efforts are underway for their swift rescue.
Vanguard also reports that the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has again warned of a systematic genocide against Christian communities in Northern Nigeria and the Middle Belt, saying evidence of targeted killings, mass displacement and destruction is now impossible to ignore.
Moving to another newspaper, The Guardian reports that the House of Representatives Ad-hoc Committee has launched a probe into pre-shipment inspection failures and unremitted crude oil proceeds, vowing to stop revenue leakages affecting Nigeria’s oil and non-oil export sectors.
Next paper, The Punch leads with survivors of Monday’s attack on Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School, Maga, in Danko/Wasagu LGA, Kebbi State, describing the terrifying incident in which Vice Principal Hassan Makuku was killed and 25 female students were abducted by bandits.
Finally, The Nation features Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde saying his rift with Minister Wike stems from Wike’s alleged push for a one-party state, a move he says contradicts Nigeria’s founding vision.
