  "summary": "President Tinubu has described former senator Basheer Lado as an accomplished legislator and a dependable public servant. According to Premium Times, Mr. Lado served in the Senate for four years before transitioning into his role as the President's liaison officer in the National Assembly's Upper Chamber.\n\nSeparately, Paul Ibe, a media aide to ADC presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, has expressed support for legal action regarding the involvement of Nyesom Wike, Ademola Adeleke, and Charles Soludo in President Tinubu’s campaign council. As reported by Daily Post Nigeria, Ibe suggested that courts should determine if these individuals' roles in the APC campaign council are lawful given their memberships in the PDP, Accord, and APGA.\n\nIbe argued that the courts should address whether politicians can support rival parties without following their own party constitutions. He called on the PDP, Accord, and APGA to explain the authority under which these members are participating in the APC campaign.",
