Former Ondo Governor Olusegun Mimiko Dumps PDP, Officially Joins APC

Former Ondo State Governor Olusegun Mimiko has officially joined the All Progressives Congress in Ondo State, marking a major political shift ahead of the 2027 elections. Mimiko formalised his membership on Wednesday after arriving at the APC secretariat in Ondo West Local Government Area, where he was welcomed by party leaders and supporters. Among top officials who received the former governor were Ondo APC Chairman Babatunde Kolawole and Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Olamide Oladiji. The atmosphere at the secretariat was reportedly filled with excitement as party members cheered the former governor’s arrival into the ruling party. Mimiko, who governed Ondo State from 2009 to 2017, had earlier resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party in April, fueling speculations about his next political move. Before his time in the PDP, the former governor was one of the most influential figures within the Labour Party, where he built a strong political structure and played key roles both in Ondo State and at the national level. Political insiders say Mimiko’s return to frontline politics comes after a relatively quiet period during which he still maintained significant influence through loyalists and grassroots networks across the state. Sources familiar with the development described his defection as a strategic gain for the APC, especially in Ondo Central Senatorial District, where Mimiko is believed to still command considerable political support. According to party stakeholders, the former governor’s political experience, structure, and grassroots appeal could strengthen the APC’s position ahead of future elections in the state. A former spokesman to Mimiko, Akinsola, also confirmed the development, stating that arrangements had already been concluded for the former governor’s official reception into the ruling party. The latest defection adds to the growing wave of political realignments currently reshaping Nigeria’s political landscape as parties intensify preparations for the 2027 general elections.

Foluke Daramola Joins 2027 Race, Picks House of Representatives Nomination Forms

Veteran Nollywood actress Foluke Daramola has officially taken another step into politics after obtaining her nomination and expression of interest forms to contest for a seat in the House of Representatives ahead of the 2027 general elections. The actress, who had earlier announced her intention to represent Oshodi-Isolo Federal Constituency 1, shared photos of herself holding the forms in a post published on Facebook, signaling the formal beginning of her political ambition. In her message to supporters and residents of the constituency, Daramola emphasized her desire to serve the people and push for policies that would improve the welfare of workers and ordinary Nigerians. She also urged residents to remain focused on their goals and aspirations while expressing optimism about the future of Oshodi-Isolo. “As your servant and potential aspirant for the House of Representatives, Oshodi-Isolo Federal Constituency 1, I, Hon. Foluke Daramola-Salako, lift you up in prayers: May Almighty God open doors of opportunities for us all and keep us safe. Together, we will build a stronger, better Oshodi,” she wrote. Her political move adds to the growing wave of Nigerian entertainers venturing into active politics ahead of the 2027 elections. In recent weeks, celebrity figures across the entertainment industry have increasingly shown interest in public office, blending fame, influence, and grassroots popularity with political ambition. Socialite Cubana Chief Priest was recently linked with a move to contest for the Orsu/Orlu/Oru East Federal Constituency seat in Imo State under the All Progressives Congress, while actor Zubby Michael has also reportedly expressed interest in a House of Representatives seat under the African Democratic Congress. For many observers, the growing participation of entertainers in Nigerian politics reflects a changing political culture where public figures with strong fan bases are increasingly seeking direct influence in governance and policymaking. Daramola, who began her acting career in 1998, remains one of Nollywood’s recognizable faces, having featured in numerous films over the years while also building a reputation for social advocacy and humanitarian causes. Her entrance into the race is expected to generate conversations both within the entertainment industry and among political stakeholders in Lagos State as preparations for the 2027 elections gradually intensify.

TCN Announces Six-Hour Power Outage in Ogun Communities for Maintenance Work

The Transmission Company of Nigeria has announced a planned six-hour electricity outage that will affect several communities in Ogun State on Thursday, May 14, 2026. According to the company, residents and businesses in the McPherson, University, and Ogunmakin areas will experience temporary power interruption between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. due to scheduled maintenance activities. In a statement shared on its official 𝕏 account, TCN explained that the outage became necessary to allow engineers carry out preventive maintenance on the 40MVA 132/33KV transformer located at the McPherson Transmission Substation. The company’s General Manager of Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, said the exercise is aimed at ensuring the long-term efficiency, reliability, and stable operation of the transformer. She explained that technical teams would use the maintenance period to conduct routine checks designed to reduce the risk of unexpected faults and improve overall service delivery within the transmission network.“The maintenance exercise is to enable TCN crew to undertake preventive routine checks on the transformer to ensure continued optimal performance,” Mbah stated. As a result of the maintenance operation, Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company will temporarily suspend electricity supply to customers within the affected communities during the exercise. TCN noted that the temporary disruption forms part of broader efforts to strengthen the national power infrastructure and minimise future technical failures that could lead to unplanned blackouts. The company also appealed to residents and electricity consumers in the affected areas to remain patient throughout the exercise, assuring them that power supply would be restored immediately after the maintenance work is completed. The announcement comes amid ongoing concerns by Nigerians over power supply challenges and frequent electricity interruptions across different parts of the country.

Lawyers’ Dispute Stalls Justice Crack’s Bail Hearing

A heated disagreement between lawyers has delayed the bail hearing of Justice Crack, just as proceedings were set to begin in court. The matter could not proceed on Thursday as defence and prosecution counsel clashed over legal procedures and presentation of documents. The judge was forced to adjourn the hearing to a later date to allow both sides to resolve their differences. Justice Crack, who is facing charges, had been expected in court for arguments on his bail application. His legal team and the prosecution could not agree on key issues, leading to raised voices and an inability to move the case forward. Court sources say the disagreement centred around the admissibility of certain documents and the order of proceedings. Such disputes are not uncommon in high-profile cases, but they often cause frustration for all parties involved, including the defendant. The case has now been adjourned. A new date for the bail hearing is expected to be fixed soon. Justice Crack remains in custody pending the outcome of the bail application. This latest delay adds to the slow pace of the trial, which has already drawn public attention. Many are watching to see how the matter will be resolved in the coming weeks. Both legal teams are expected to use the adjournment period to prepare their arguments more thoroughly and avoid further disruptions when the case returns to court.

Police Arrest 60-Year-Old Man for Allegedly Defiling Minor in Bauchi

Operatives of the Bauchi State Police Command have arrested a 60-year-old man for the alleged defilement of a minor. The suspect was arrested following a report lodged at the police station by the victim’s family. Police say investigations have begun into the incident, which occurred in Bauchi. The minor is said to be receiving medical care and psychosocial support from child protection officers. Authorities are working to ensure her well-being while the case is being investigated. The Bauchi State Police Command described the offence as very serious and assured the public that the suspect will be prosecuted if found guilty. They also urged residents to report any cases of child sexual abuse promptly. Defilement and sexual abuse of minors continue to be a major concern in parts of the country. Child rights advocates have repeatedly called for stricter enforcement of laws and more community awareness to protect children. The 60-year-old man remains in police custody as investigations continue. He is expected to be charged to court once police conclude their preliminary investigation. Parents and guardians in the state have been advised to be more vigilant and pay closer attention to the safety of their children.

US Relaxes Visa Bond Rules for 2026 FIFA World Cup Fans and Teams

The United States has announced plans to ease controversial visa bond requirements for certain supporters and officials travelling for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The decision comes amid growing criticism over strict immigration measures introduced under President Donald Trump, which required visa applicants from several developing nations to pay refundable bonds ranging from $5,000 to $15,000 before entering the country. According to the US Department of State, the bond requirement will now be waived for players, coaching staff, team officials, and fans from participating countries who already possess match tickets and are registered under a priority visa programme linked to the tournament. Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs, Mora Namdar, said the adjustment reflects the administration’s effort to balance national security with smooth travel arrangements ahead of the global football event. “We remain committed to strengthening US national security priorities while facilitating legitimate travel for the upcoming World Cup tournament,” she said. Namdar added that the United States intends to host what she described as the “biggest and best FIFA World Cup in history.” FIFA also welcomed the announcement, describing it as another sign of cooperation between football authorities and the US government ahead of the tournament. A FIFA spokesperson said the decision highlights ongoing collaboration with the White House Task Force overseeing preparations for the competition and efforts aimed at delivering a successful and memorable tournament. Despite the exemption, citizens from some countries still remain affected by the visa bond policy. Reports indicate that supporters from countries including Algeria, Cape Verde, Ivory Coast, Senegal, and Tunisia could still face additional travel scrutiny if they do not qualify under the tournament visa arrangements. Meanwhile, fans from Haiti and Iran are reportedly facing even stricter entry limitations due to broader US immigration restrictions and geopolitical tensions. The US government has also expanded screening measures for international visitors, including requests for access to applicants’ social media accounts during visa processing. A report by Mendoza Law Firm warned that the new restrictions could significantly reduce the number of travelling supporters from Haiti, while also placing heavy financial pressure on applicants from some African nations. According to the report, the highest visa bond amount of $15,000 is estimated to equal nearly three years of average income in some of the affected countries. The 2026 FIFA World Cup is scheduled to kick off on June 11 and will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

PCOS Renamed PMOS to Better Reflect Its Complex Health Effects

Medical experts worldwide have officially renamed Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS). The change, announced on May 12, 2026, aims to give a clearer picture of the condition’s wide impact on women’s health. The new name was revealed in a major paper published in The Lancet following more than 10 years of discussions with doctors, researchers, and women living with the condition. It affects about 1 in 8 women globally  over 170 million people. For many years, the old name “PCOS” created confusion because it focused heavily on “cysts” in the ovaries. In reality, many women with the condition do not have visible cysts, and the disorder goes far beyond the ovaries. PMOS better highlights its effects on hormones (polyendocrine), metabolism, and reproductive health. Women with PMOS often experience irregular periods, excess hair growth, acne, weight challenges, and higher risks of diabetes, heart disease, and mental health issues. The old name sometimes led to delayed diagnosis and limited treatment to fertility problems only, instead of addressing the full-body condition. Experts say the rename will help improve awareness, speed up diagnosis, guide better treatment, and attract more research funding. It also reduces the stigma and misunderstanding many women face when seeking help. The change is expected to be gradually introduced over the next three years in medical guidelines, hospitals, and health records worldwide. Full adoption in the International Classification of Diseases is planned for 2028. In Nigeria and across Africa, where hormonal health issues are common but often underdiagnosed, this development could encourage more women to seek proper care and help doctors provide more complete support. Patient groups and doctors have largely welcomed the new name, describing it as a long-overdue step that puts the focus on the real experiences of millions of women.

APC Fixes May 23, 2026 for Presidential Primary, Denies Postponement Rumours

The All Progressives Congress has officially scheduled its presidential primary election for May 23, 2026, as preparations intensify ahead of the 2027 general elections. The ruling party also dismissed reports claiming the exercise had been postponed, describing the information circulating online as false and misleading. In a statement released on Wednesday, APC National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka said the party’s timetable remains unchanged despite speculations on social media and other platforms. According to the schedule released by the APC, the primary election for the House of Representatives will hold on May 15, 2026, while the Senate primary is fixed for May 18. The State House of Assembly primary election is expected to take place on May 20, followed by the governorship primary on May 21. The party’s presidential primary, which is expected to determine the APC’s flag bearer for the 2027 election, has been scheduled for May 23. The development signals the official start of political maneuvering within the ruling party as aspirants and party stakeholders begin strategic consultations ahead of the election season. Meanwhile, the APC has also commenced the screening of incumbent governors as part of its internal preparation process for the 2027 polls. Governors who reportedly appeared before the screening committee include Abba Yusuf, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, Nasir Idris, Caleb Mutfwang and Hyacinth Alia. Others screened include Sheriff Oborevwori, Umar Bago, Dauda Lawal, Bassey Otu and Ahmed Aliyu. The screening exercise is seen as part of the party’s broader strategy to assess incumbents and strengthen internal coordination ahead of what is expected to be a highly competitive 2027 election cycle.

Guinness World Records Reacts After BBNaija Star Queen Atang Rocks Bread-Made Outfit at AMVCA

Reality TV star Queen Atang has sparked massive reactions online after appearing at the 2026 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) in an unusual outfit designed with hundreds of loaves of bread. The former Big Brother Naija housemate made a dramatic entrance on the AMVCA red carpet wearing a bread-themed costume reportedly created with 500 loaves, complete with a matching bread-inspired prop that immediately became one of the night’s most talked-about fashion moments. The daring appearance quickly went viral across social media, dividing opinions among Nigerians. While some users criticised the outfit and described it as excessive or wasteful, others praised Queen Atang for turning her business identity into a bold fashion statement and marketing strategy. The conversation became even bigger after Guinness World Records appeared to notice the viral moment. In the comment section of a video shared on Queen’s Instagram page, Guinness World Records reacted with a teasing remark that instantly caught attention online. “Well, we do have a record for the largest cake dress … hmmm,” the organisation wrote. The response fueled speculation among fans about whether the reality star could eventually attempt an official world record related to wearable food fashion. Reacting to the comment, Queen responded playfully, writing: “Hello @guinnessworldrecords, I see you in the comment section.” Before the event, the reality star had already hinted that the outfit was inspired by her entrepreneurial journey in the food industry.“AMVCA 2026 ready. I come as an entrepreneur who runs a bread EMPIRE,” she wrote. According to Guinness World Records, the current title for the world’s largest wearable cake dress weighs 131.15 kilograms and was achieved by Natasha Coline Kim Fah Lee Fokas of SweetyCakes GmbH in Bern, Switzerland, on January 15, 2023. Queen Atang’s appearance has since become one of the most talked-about moments from the 2026 AMVCA, once again showing how celebrity fashion in Nigeria continues to blur the line between creativity, controversy, branding, and viral internet culture.
