Controversy over the national convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) earlier scheduled for February appeared on the cover pages of Nigerian newspapers.
The Nation reports that APC governors have resolved to seek the help of Buhari on the crisis threatening the party’s convention. The newspaper says David Umahi, governor of Ebonyi, has joined the race for the 2023 presidency.
Daily Independent reports that the declaration of Bola Tinubu, former governor of Lagos, for the 2023 presidency will not deter Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo from contesting. The newspaper says the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has called for the arrest of those enforcing sit-at-home order in the south-east.
The Punch says Mai Mala Buni, governor of Yobe, and Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of the federation, are moving to block the February APC convention. The newspaper reports that the Nigeria Labour Congress has asked its affiliated organisations to mobilise for protest over planned petrol subsidy removal.
The Guardian says many people are trapped in a collapsed church building in Delta state. The newspaper reports that Buhari has approved the establishment of the Nigerian Diaspora Investment Trust Fund (NDITF).
Daily Trust says there is rumpus in APC over the zoning of the 2023 presidential ticket. The newspaper says motorcycles, locally known as ‘okada’ have returned to Kano as the strike by tricycle riders enters the second day.
