The internal wrangling in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the possible re-election bid of President Bola Tinubu dominate the front pages of Nigerian newspapers.

The Punch reports that northern leaders are divided over the possible reelection of Tinubu in 2027. The newspaper says the federal government has engaged the World Bank for a fresh $300 million loan to strengthen Nigeria’s health security infrastructure.
Nigerian Tribune reports that the house of representatives said the bribery allegation made by Tigran Gambaryan, an executive of Binance, was against some lawmakers and not the entire chamber. The newspaper says Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has described Ayo Adebanjo, the late factional leader of Afenifere, as a paragon of friendship and solidarity towards the Igbo.
The Nation reports that the police are probing an allegation that the PDP constitution was altered by some top party members to obtain a court judgment against Samuel Anyanwu, the former PDP national secretary. The newspaper says the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has sought the interim forfeiture of N1.3 billion suspected to have been diverted from the funds approved for the Kaduna light rail project.
The Guardian’s cover story is a tribute to Ayo Adebanjo, Afenifere factional leader, who died on Friday at the age of 96. The newspaper says the Concerned Yoruba Muslim Scholars in Nigeria has asked President Bola Tinubu to address what they described as unfair treatment against southern Muslims in public service.
