Mass rally against Netanyahu ahead of pivotal Israeli election
Thousands of Israelis rallied against PM Benjamin Netanyahu, demanding a change of government and an independent inquiry into the security failures surrounding the Hamas-led October 7th attacks. The election will be held on Tuesday October 27.
Prime ministerial hopeful calls attempts to marginalise and smear Palestinian citizens of Israel 'an anti-state act'.
“As the 2027 elections approach, the State must protect lives, enforce electoral laws and punish those who sponsor or perpetrate political violence, irrespective of status or political connections,” Mr Falana said.
Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has pledged unprecedented electoral support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the January 16, 2027 presidential election, saying the state is prepared to reward the President for what he described as efforts to rescue Nigeria from economic difficulties and put the country on the path to recovery. The rally was attended by Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, wife of the President, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda, other party leaders and supporters from across the North-Central region.
Although the Presidential Campaign rally for Mr Tinubu attracted a large crowd, with candidates and their supporters adequately represented, none of the party’s 12 National Assembly candidates or 26 Ondo State House of Assembly candidates were publicly presented or handed the party’s flag.
Amid growing concerns over electoral violence in some parts of the country, President Bola Tinubu has assured Nigerian that the 2027 general elections will be peaceful. Tinubu, who is seeking re-election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), gave the assurance while speaking at the North-Central presidential campaign rally in Jos, Plateau State, on Saturday, urging the electorate to exercise their right by voting with their permanent voter card.
