Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gboko Local Government Area, Terfa Iorgilim, has thrown his weight behind the re-election bid of Governor Hyacinth Alia. The party chieftain, who hosted the Mbavarakaa people of Mbatiav, maternal kinsmen of Governor Alia, to a New Year get-together, said that the re-election bid of the governor is a “Mbaavarakaa project”. According to him, the governor donated the New Year gifts to the community through him, and he, in turn, deemed it appropriate to personally deliver the governor’s goodwill to his people.

George also criticised what he described as a disconnect between government actions and the economic realities facing many Nigerians. According to the Lagos APC, a weak and disorganised opposition poses risks to democratic development, noting that democracy thrives on the contest of ideas rather than persistent confrontation and what it termed institutional sabotage. The party maintained that criticism of government should be grounded in credible policy positions and accountability, rather than rhetoric and grievance-driven narratives. The statement further urged opposition parties to demonstrate greater acceptance of democratic outcomes, respect for the rule of law and responsibility in public discourse.

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has defended the United States’ military operation that removed Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro from power, describing the raid as “morally right” despite legal and diplomatic controversy. “I grew up under a military dictatorship, so I know what it’s like to have someone like Maduro in charge.”However, Badenoch cautioned that the raid raised “serious questions about the rules-based order,” and stressed that it was different from interventions in democratic countries. She cited Greenland, saying the territory’s future was rightly a matter for Denmark and its people. The UK government has so far avoided directly criticising the US action, describing Maduro as an “illegitimate president.” Opposition parties—including Labour, the Liberal Democrats, the Green Party, and the SNP—have called for the government to condemn the operation and declare it illegal. Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said she had reminded her US counterpart of his obligations under international law but reiterated that it was for the US to set out the legal justification for its actions.
