The Young Progressives Party presidential candidate, Dr Peter Agada, has warned the African Action Congress presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, and others against using the Presidential Villa for campaigns, saying Aso Rock is a high-security facility meant for government activities.

Agada, who criticised the growing tendency of politicians to treat the Villa as a destination for political activities, said presidential candidates should demonstrate their capacity to govern by showing evidence of their existing businesses, workplaces and residences rather than seeking access to Aso Rock.

He stated this while speaking at a media parley in Abuja on Friday

The former Labour Party chieftain also cited the resurgence of Ebola and the country’s security challenges as reasons the Presidential Villa should not be used for social events.

The Nigeria Labour Congress said the Trade Union Congress did not participate in its October 22 meeting with the Federal Government, distancing the second-largest labour group from talks over workers’ demands and the threat of possible industrial action.

The clarification follows media reports linking both labour organisations to the discussions, which ended without an agreement and were adjourned until October 27.

In a statement released on Friday, signed by its Acting General Secretary, Benson Upah, the NLC said the TUC neither participated in the dialogue nor issued an ultimatum to the government over the meeting.

“The TUC was not part of the dialogue between the NLC and the Federal Government on October 22, 2026,” the congress said.

Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has warned that Oyo State could face unrest if any attempt is made to remove the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, from the throne.

Igboho gave the warning in a video clip shared by a local media platform, Oyo Affairs, on Friday, amid earlier allegations of a plot to dethrone the monarch.

He warned that any governor who attempted to remove Ladoja would face resistance, insisting that the monarch’s position should not be threatened.

“They will declare a state of emergency. If any governor tries it, it is from Soka here that this state would be shaking,” he said.
