  "account": "Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu surprised the Flamingos, the U-17 women's national football team, by presenting them with Federal Government Savings Bonds worth N100,000 each. The team's coach received the same amount in a savings certificate, while the technical crew members each got N50,000 cash.\n\nIn political news, the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council set a limit on the number of officials authorized to speak on the party's behalf. This came after one of their spokespersons, Alwan Hassan, made headlines for testing the emergency 112 number during a live television appearance, sparking controversy due to its failure.\n\nMeanwhile, a Federal High Court in Abuja dismissed claims of a resignation letter from former African Democratic Congress Deputy National Chairman, Nafiu Bala. Justice Peter Lifu found inconsistencies between the signature on the letter and those on Bala's sworn statements, ruling the letter as a fake.",
