The African Democratic Congress, ADC, is facing a major setback after a Federal High Court sacked its David Mark-led leadership and voided Atiku Abubakar’s presidential nomination.

The ruling comes barely a day after the party flagged off its campaign in Sokoto, raising questions about its readiness for the 2027 elections.

As the ADC prepares to challenge the judgment, in this episod of Nigeria Daily, we examine what lies ahead for the party and its chances of remaining in the race.

Apollo, commonly known as an eye infection, is a condition many Nigerians experience, particularly during periods when cases appear to increase. It is often accompanied by redness, itching, irritation and discharge from the eyes.

Beyond the discomfort, there are several beliefs about how Apollo spreads and how it should be treated. While some people believe it can be contracted simply by looking into the eyes of an infected person, others recommend traditional remedies, including applying urine to the affected eye.

Today on Nigeria Daily, we examine the myths and medical facts about Apollo, how it is transmitted, the dangers of unverified traditional remedies and the appropriate treatment options.

Attacks and abductions in rural communities across Nigeria have continued to raise concerns about the safety of residents, particularly in areas where insecurity has become a recurring experience.

The recent abduction of 14 pupils in Tungan-Bako, Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State, has once again brought the situation into focus. However, reports indicate that this is not the first time the community and surrounding areas have experienced such attacks, raising questions about why the threat persists despite ongoing security efforts.

Today on Nigeria Daily, we examine the growing insecurity in rural communities, the efforts to protect residents and rescue victims, and what needs to change to prevent repeated attacks.

The unity of Nigeria’s organised labour is facing a fresh test as the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and the Trade Union Congress, TUC, disagree over how to address the country’s wage crisis. While the NLC signed a six-month, 70,000-naira transport allowance deal with the Federal Government, the TUC rejected the arrangement, insisting that workers need a permanent salary increase rather than temporary relief.

As the cost of living continues to squeeze Nigerian workers, questions are emerging about the implications of this division for labour’s bargaining power and the future of minimum wage negotiations.

Today on Nigeria Daily, we ask: Why are the NLC and TUC divided over Nigeria’s wage crisis, and what does this mean for the struggle to secure better pay for workers?

A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered INEC to replace Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma with former governor Rochas Okorocha as the APC’s senatorial candidate for Imo West.

With Uzodimma’s tenure expected to end in 2028 and the next general election scheduled for 2027, questions arise about his Senate ambition, the constitutionality of contesting another elective office while serving as governor, and his next move.

In this episode of Nigeria Daily, we ask: what does the court ruling mean for Uzodimma, what is the APC’s position, and what happens next?

The latest attack on Binnari community in Karim-Lamido Local Government Area of Taraba State has left dozens dead, homes destroyed and residents fearful of another possible attack. Despite previous security measures in the area, the incident has renewed concerns about how vulnerable communities can be better protected.

While security deployment remains important in responding to threats, questions persist about the role of intelligence gathering, early-warning systems, basic infrastructure and government intervention in preventing further violence.

Today on Nigeria Daily, we examine how Taraba State can prevent another attack beyond security deployment, and what more needs to be done to protect lives and restore confidence among affected communities.

A climate phenomenon originating in the Pacific Ocean is raising concerns about extreme weather across the world, including potential heat-related risks in Nigeria. Known as El Niño, it occurs when sea temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific become unusually warm, influencing temperature and rainfall patterns across different continents.

The World Meteorological Organisation has warned of a strong El Niño event extending into early 2027, while Nigeria’s meteorological agency, NiMet, has also reported the onset of the phenomenon. Its potential effects raise concerns about public health, agriculture and access to water.

Today on Nigeria Daily, we examine NEMA’s warning, find out whether Nigerians are aware of the risks and how they are coping with the heat, and speak with a medical practitioner about the dangers of extreme temperatures and how to stay safe.
