This week in Nigeria
Nigerian media this week extensively covered the shooting incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington D.C., which involved President Trump. Domestically, the political scene is active with opposition parties planning a united front for the 2027 presidential elections and the Supreme Court reserving judgment on leadership crises within the PDP and ADC. Security issues persist, highlighted by reports of rescued kidnap victims, a university campus invasion, and doctors protesting police harassment.
