In a review of Nigerian newspapers, Vanguard reported that state governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) are at daggers drawn with Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike over the creation of parallel political structures believed capable of undermining President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027. Another headline featured Aliko Dangote, President of Dangote Group, stating that Nigerians are still paying high prices for petrol despite the commencement of large-scale domestic refining, and that local production does not completely insulate the country from global crude oil prices and market disruptions. Vanguard also reported that Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), said he has no objection to the release of his academic records amid reports of a legal action seeking certified true copies of his certificates and other educational documents.
