  "account": "Ahead of the 2027 elections, FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has drawn fresh battle lines with APC governors, defending the Rainbow Coalition while accusing some APC governors of pursuing their own political interests. Wike prioritized securing President Bola Tinubu’s re-election, allowing politicians to support candidates of their choice in other contests. Meanwhile, the White House launched a 24/7 streaming channel called Trump TV as major US networks halted coverage due to a dispute over media access. Nigeria is closer to acquiring 12 AH-1Z Viper attack helicopters from the US, following a signing ceremony with Bell Textron. Aliko Dangote plans to invest over $10 billion in the power sector to address Nigeria’s electricity crisis and support industrialization. Public universities may need to charge at least N1 million per student annually to achieve financial independence, according to former LASU Vice-Chancellor Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello.",
