Israel Threatens Houthis Over Attacks—-Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant warned on Thursday that the Houthis in Yemen will “suffer heavy blows” if they continue to target Israel.

Gallant stated that Israeli forces were “prepared for any mission,” and accused Iran of funding and arming the Houthis.

“The era of proxies is over, and the axis of evil has collapsed,” he said, holding Tehran directly responsible.

“What we did to Hezbollah in Beirut, to Hamas in Gaza, to Assad in Damascus, and to the Houthis in Yemen, we will do to you as well in Tehran,” Gallant warned.

The Houthi group, which controls much of northern Yemen, began targeting Israel and Israel-linked shipping in November 2023, citing support for Palestinians. Their attacks later expanded to include U.S. vessels.

In spite of an Oman-mediated deal on Tuesday between the United States and the Houthis to halt mutual attacks, the group had vowed to continue striking Israel until its military offensive in Gaza ends and the blockade on Palestinians is lifted.

On Wednesday, the Houthis claimed new drone attacks on Israel, though no damage was reported. The attacks came a day after Israeli airstrikes hit Houthi-held Sanaa International Airport and Hodeidah port on the Red Sea.

2027: NASS Leadership Endorses Tinubu—-The leadership of the National Assembly (NASS) on Thursday at the National Summit of the All Progressives Congress (APC) party, held in Abuja, endorsed President Bola Tinubu as their sole candidate for the 2027 presidential election.

The endorsement was moved by Sen. Godswill Akpabio, the President of the Senate, and seconded by Hon. Tajudeen Abass, the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

This followed an earlier endorsement of Tinubu as the sole candidate of the APC in the 2027 by Gov. Hope Uzodinma of Imo and Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum.

Akpabio moved that Tinubu should be adopted as the sole candidate of the APC for the Presidency in 2027.

“Nigerians are saying that because you have done a difficult job well, that it is time to reward you by sending you back to the Presidency for a second term in office,” he said.

Akpabio said the endorsement was based on the political sagacity of Tinubu, whom he said had been able to set Nigeria on the path of growth as confirmed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

He said Nigerians and people at the grassroots were very excited, and that members of the National Assembly were also excited and had never had it so good.

Abass said he stood on behalf of 109 Senators and 360 members of the House of Representatives, and all the 36 Speakers and their members, to second the motion raised by the president of the senate.

2027: APC Governors Endorse Tinubu As Sole Presidential Candidate—-The Progressive Governors Forum on Thursday at the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Summit held in Abuja endorsed President Bola Tinubu as sole candidate for the 2027 presidential election.

The endorsement, which was moved by Gov. Hope Uzodimma of Imo and Chairman of the forum Chairman, was seconded by Gov. Uba Sani of Kaduna State.

Uzodimma, who spoke on behalf of the forum, emphasised commitment to mobilising resources and ensuring victory for Tinubu in their respective states.

The governors expressed confidence in Tinubu’s leadership and reforms, promising to deliver their states in the upcoming elections.

This endorsement follows similar moves by other APC regional leaders, including the North Central governors who recently passed a vote of confidence in Tinubu’s administration, praising his developmental strides and inclusive governance approach.
