  "summary": "In the morning recap, President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress are gearing up for the 2027 presidential election in Kaduna State, aiming to secure support from the North, which accounts for 56.01 million of Nigeria's 103.43 million registered voters. Meanwhile, Atiku Abubakar, the opposition figure and former Vice President, has demanded the immediate publication of the preliminary voters' register, warning that its lack of online availability could undermine confidence in the upcoming election. Additionally, the Federal Government has directed hospitals nationwide to prepare isolation beds and strengthen infection prevention measures to combat the Ebola outbreak, with 15 states yet to update their response plans.",
