  "summary": "Kebbi Deputy Governor, Umar Abubakar-Tafida, has denied claims that his replacement as running mate is due to a Supreme Court verdict. According to Punch, he described such claims as a smear campaign.\n\nThe Supreme Court has made a ruling on solid waste management, expressing concern over the excessive generation of everyday garbage. The court, as reported by The Hindu, has called on younger generations to educate their elders on the issue.\n\nThe court criticized the general attitude that solid waste management is solely the responsibility of sanitary workers, stating that this assumption is \"neither legally correct nor practically sustainable.\" It warned that continued complacency could lead to pandemic and endemic situations.",
