In today’s Nigerian newspapers review programme, Today in the News, Vanguard leads with the Senate saying it is open to public criticism and peaceful protests over the Electoral Act Amendment Bill and would address concerns over the removal of “real-time” from electronic transmission provisions at an emergency plenary sitting Tuesday.
Another headline features fresh signs of reconciliation that have emerged in Rivers State following President Bola Tinubu’s intervention in the lingering political crisis during a late-night meeting in Abuja.
Vanguard also reports that First Lady Oluremi Tinubu described the United States’ engagement in Nigeria as a “blessing,” amid international scrutiny over insecurity, reported attacks on Christians, and US airstrikes on militant groups.
Moving to another newspaper, the Guardian’s lead headline states that killings, kidnappings and violent clashes have heightened security fears nationwide, as intelligence reports warn of expanding terrorist drone attacks, with President Tinubu pledging to strengthen security and defeat terrorism to ensure economic stability and national development.
Next paper, The Punch has a story on the Federal Government annuling suspension of mining activities across Northern Nigeria despite calls by northern governors and traditional leaders for a six-month halt as part of efforts to curb insecurity in the region.
Lastly, The Nation leads with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Monday declared that terrorism and banditry would be defeated, insisting that the violence afflicting parts of the country is unacceptable and alien to Nigeria’s values.
