In a review of Nigerian newspapers, Vanguard reported that the Presidency and the All Progressives Congress challenged Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, over his claim that he won the 2023 presidential poll. Obi stated he would only concede in 2027 if the exercise was credible. Another headline featured the NDC vice-presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, urging former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to return to his hometown in Adamawa State and focus on traditional responsibilities. Vanguard also reported that the United States delivered military equipment to the Nigerian Air Force in Lagos and Kainji, Niger State, to support counterterrorism operations. The Guardian led with the effects of fuel subsidy removal, noting it has increased government funds while reducing household money ahead of a certain period.
