In a significant development, US President Donald Trump has announced that he had a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and they agreed to start negotiations to end the war in Ukraine “immediately”. Both Trump and Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed that the two presidents also agreed to visit each other’s nations during the call. According to Volodymyr Zelensky’s office, the Ukrainian president also spoke to his American counterpart in an hour-long phone call. While the development has been welcomed, security correspondent Frank Gardner noted that it “has been a bit of a cold shower for both Ukraine and Nato”. Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is answering reporters’ questions in the briefing room. In a related development, a US House committee heard from witnesses about Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), after Trump signed an executive order to give more power to the body, which is not an official government agency.

A fresh wave of political drama has engulfed Nigeria as former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai publicly claimed that he faces imminent arrest, detention, and torture at the hands of his political opponents. El-Rufai’s accusations, which he says echo the treatment reportedly meted out to former CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele, have ignited a firestorm of controversy and raised concerns about the escalating nature of political rivalries. The allegations and counter-allegations are contributing to a climate of suspicion and deepening divisions within the Nigerian political sphere. El-Rufai’s claims surfaced after a social media user on X (formerly Twitter) warned him about a potential arrest upon his return to Nigeria. His response was defiant: “I’ve been hearing these rumors of arrest, detention and torture since July 2024.” He emphasized his resolve to return to Nigeria, even cutting short his academic pursuits, to directly confront those he believes are behind the threats. These accusations have emerged amid heightened tensions between El-Rufai and the current National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu. Their relationship has been strained by conflicting narratives surrounding past corruption allegations against President Bola Tinubu, adding another layer of complexity to the already charged political atmosphere. The former governor has broadened his allegations, suggesting that his friends and family are also being targeted, a tactic he interprets as a calculated effort to force him into exile. He portrays this as part of a larger pattern of intimidation against perceived political enemies.El-Rufai has used social media to amplify his message, recently declaring, “Silence is no longer golden. Inaction has never been an option.” He has publicly announced his intention to attend the launch of former President IBB’s memoirs on February 20, signaling his intention to remain a visible figure in the political landscape.

President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Hamas, threatening severe consequences if the hostages they’ve held since October 7, 2023, are not released. Trump stated that if the hostages are not freed before “12 o’clock” on Saturday, “all hell will break out” in the Middle East, and those responsible will face unprecedented repercussions. This threat comes as part of Trump’s efforts to secure the release of the hostages. Trump criticized the “all talk, but no action” diplomatic efforts to return Hamas’ hostages home, vowing to ensure that Hamas suffers dire consequences if they fail to comply. The situation is particularly pressing, as over 60 hostages are reportedly still held by Hamas. Trump’s warning has significant implications for the region, which has been grappling with the aftermath of the Israel-Hamas war. In a recent development, Trump proposed that the US take over the war-shattered Gaza Strip, which has been met with international condemnation. The plan involves resettling Palestinians elsewhere and developing the area economically. However, this proposal has raised concerns about the potential for increased tensions in the region.
