A Federal High Court in Abuja is set to hear a lawsuit today seeking to bar former President Goodluck Jonathan from contesting the 2027 presidential election. The plaintiff, lawyer Johnmary Jideobi, argues that Jonathan has already served two terms as president - completing the late President Umaru Yar'Adua's term and serving a full term after the 2011 election - and is thus ineligible to run again.

Jonathan has stated he'll consult widely before deciding on a possible 2027 bid, while his party, the Nigeria Democratic Congress, denies any pact with him. A previous court ruling in May 2022 actually cleared Jonathan to contest, citing the constitutional amendment on term limits doesn't apply retroactively to him.

The Nigerian Federal Government is evacuating its citizens from South Africa due to rising xenophobic attacks and anti-foreigner sentiment. At least 130 Nigerians have registered for voluntary evacuation flights. President Bola Tinubu has directed Nigerian missions in South Africa to establish a crisis notification unit for imperilled citizens. Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, has warned that the attacks, targeting black Africans, may be more accurately described as "Afriphobia" rather than xenophobia.

Oshiomhole, a Nigerian politician, has proposed revoking the licenses of South African companies like MTN and DSTV in response to xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa. This isn't the first time such a proposal has been made; in 2017, the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) gave South African companies a 48-hour ultimatum to leave Nigeria, citing the need for reciprocity and protection of Nigerian interests .

The Nigerian Senate also weighed the option of expelling South African companies, including MTN, DSTV, and Shoprite, over the attacks. The proposal was met with mixed reactions, with some arguing it would lead to job losses and others supporting it as a necessary measure.

"All the INEC Federal commissioners are APC members. Most of the judges in the Supreme Court are APC members...Tinubu can never organise a free and fair election. Somebody whose name is not his name. Whose secondary school was established after he graduated.."
