A supporter of President Bola Tinubu in Kebbi State, Adamu Yahaya, popularly known as Adam Fakai, says he has stopped promoting the Federal Government’s programmes, claiming he received no recognition or support from leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Fakai became popular on social media for visiting major Federal Government projects, including road construction sites, and sharing photographs, videos, and reports showcasing the Tinubu administration’s achievements, earning him both criticism and, at times, praise.

In a statement posted on his social media pages, Fakai said: “I have spent more than two years using my money, time and energy to promote the programmes and achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration to Nigerians in both the North and South. I did so because I believed in his efforts to build a better Nigeria.”

Fakai said that despite his commitment, he did not receive any encouragement, appreciation, or support from APC leaders in Kebbi State or at the national level.

“I am from Kebbi State, and throughout this period, I never received any form of encouragement or support from politicians in my party, either at the state or federal level,” he wrote

He further claimed , “It is unfortunate that some prominent figures at the federal level use the pictures and videos of government projects that I captured and shared, yet none has ever contacted me directly.”

Fakai added that he believes he might have received more support if he had come from another state, saying the feeling of being ignored influenced his decision to stop promoting the administration.

He, however, thanked those who supported him with prayers and words of encouragement.

Data centers are deeply unpopular. But what if we called them something else?

Axios reports that OpenAI is preparing a “PR blitz” for after the midterm elections on Tuesday, as Democrats seem likely to win back the House of Representatives, and possibly the Senate, too.

The company’s chief global affairs officer Chris Lehane told Axios that the midterms will be “a bit of a movie trailer for what you’re going to see in 2028,” when he expects AI to be “the issue” in the presidential election.

So OpenAI is to influence the AI debate moving forward, with Lehane discussing several proposals, including the development of AI “speed limits”; finding ways to help people see AI as empowering them in their daily lives; pushing the U.S. to take a role in developing global standards — and yes, rebranding data centers as “AI compute campuses.”

Lehane also described the conversation around data centers (a debate that has pushed Amazon and Microsoft to say they will no longer use NDAs in their negotiations with local governments) as “good and healthy.”

“Communities should hold companies responsible and accountable so they really and truly get a transformative benefit from these projects,” he said.

The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, vice presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso has warned the African Democratic Congress, ADC, against giving its presidential ticket to a Northern candidate ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Kwankwaso gave the warning during an interactive session with journalists at his residence in Kano on Sunday.

Throwing his weight behind the NDC presidential candidate, Peter Obi, the former Kano State governor said it is the turn of the South to produce the next President in 2027, adding that the North should wait till 2031.

He added that it is unfair for the ADC to give its ticket to a Northern candidate when the South has not completed its eight years.

"ADC will lose if it gives ticket to North. It's the turn of the South in 2027. ADC should not give its presidential ticket to the North. North should wait till 2031," Kwankwaso said.

He advised the ADC to zone its presidential ticket to the South if it wants to win the 2027 election, saying Nigerians want fairness and equity.

DAILY POST reports that Kwankwaso, who is from the North, is the running mate of Peter Obi, who is from the South under the platform of the NDC.
