U.S. President Donald Trump has predicted that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will step down from office, accusing the Labour leader of failing on two critical issues — immigration and energy policy.

Trump made the remarks on Sunday in a post on his Truth Social platform, where he claimed Starmer’s leadership had fallen short in addressing challenges facing the United Kingdom.

“Keir Starmer will resign as Prime Minister of The United Kingdom,” Trump wrote. “He failed badly on two very important subjects — IMMIGRATION AND ENERGY (OPEN NORTH SEA OIL!). I wish him well!”

The U.S. president did not provide any evidence to support his claim, nor did he reveal the basis for his prediction that Starmer would leave office.

Starmer, who leads the Labour Party, became Prime Minister after securing victory in the UK’s general election.

Since taking office, his government has faced criticism over a range of issues, including migration policies, energy security, and the cost-of-living challenges confronting many Britons.

Trump’s comments come as debates over immigration and energy continue to dominate political discussions in the UK.

However, there has been no official statement from Starmer, his office, or the British government suggesting that he plans to resign.

As of the time of filing this report, Starmer remains in office and continues to lead the government despite the claims made by the American president.

A Fulani socio-cultural organisation, the Concerned Fulani People of Nigeria (CFPN), has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, and other South-West governors to intervene and caution Yoruba nation agitator Sunday Adeyemo over remarks it described as capable of escalating ethnic tensions in Oyo State.

The appeal comes amid growing concerns following reports that Sunday Igboho issued a two-hour ultimatum to Fulani leaders in Oyo State over the alleged abduction of a woman, her children, and a sibling by suspected kidnappers.

According to reports, Igboho threatened to take action against those he believed were responsible if the victims were not released within the stipulated timeframe. He also reportedly vowed to storm a forest reserve allegedly being used as a hideout by the kidnappers.

Reacting to the development, the Concerned Fulani People of Nigeria, in a statement signed by its Convener, Ibrahim Barkindo Chubado, warned against profiling Fulani communities for crimes allegedly committed by a few individuals.

The group said such generalisations could deepen ethnic divisions, fuel hostility, and undermine efforts aimed at maintaining peace and security in the South-West and across the country.

While condemning terrorism, kidnapping, banditry and other criminal activities, the organisation maintained that criminality should not be linked to any particular ethnic group.

According to the group, Fulani communities across Nigeria are made up of law-abiding citizens who should not be collectively blamed for the actions of criminal elements.

It also expressed concern over what it described as a recurring trend of associating Fulani communities with criminal activities without sufficient evidence, warning that such narratives could trigger violence and reprisals.

The organisation further alleged that previous attacks on Fulani settlements in parts of Oyo State resulted in loss of lives, destruction of property and displacement of innocent residents, including women and children.

It also referenced past crises in the Ibarapa and Iganna areas of the state, claiming that many innocent Fulani residents suffered casualties during the conflicts.

“We are not saying there are no bad eggs among Fulani, Hausa or other Northern ethnic groups. However, criminals should be treated as criminals and not profiled based on ethnicity or religion,” the statement said.

The group also described farmer-herder clashes as largely economic disputes that should not be transformed into ethnic or religious confrontations.

It warned that inflammatory rhetoric and ethnic profiling could worsen insecurity and threaten national unity if left unchecked.

Consequently, the organisation called on President Tinubu, Governor Makinde and other South-West governors to take proactive steps to de-escalate tensions and promote peaceful coexistence among all ethnic groups.

It also urged Nigerians to support security agencies in tackling kidnapping, banditry and other crimes through lawful means while avoiding ethnic or religious generalisations.

The group maintained that addressing insecurity requires collective action, justice and fairness for all citizens, regardless of ethnic or religious background.

Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has reacted to his landslide re-election victory, describing the outcome as a strong endorsement from the people and promising to deepen development across the state.

Oyebanji made the remarks shortly after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared him winner of Saturday’s governorship election.

The governor said the result reflected a clear message from Ekiti voters, who he noted had chosen continuity, stability, and progress.

“The voice of the people has reverberated from every part of our great state, and the message is clear,” Oyebanji said.

“I am deeply humbled by the scale of this victory. Securing a clean sweep across all 16 local government areas and 85 per cent of the popular vote is a humbling vote of confidence from Ekiti Kete.

“From our urban centres to our most remote communities, you have spoken with one thunderous voice for continuous development, stability and a future of endless opportunities,” he added.

He further pledged that his renewed mandate would be used to ensure that governance reaches every household in Ekiti State.

“This mandate means that our work must touch every household even deeper. There are no winners or losers today; there is only one united Ekiti determined to continue its journey of upward mobility.

“I pledge to honour this immense trust by continuing to lead with humility, dedication and fairness,” the governor stated.

According to the INEC Returning Officer, Prof. Adenike Oladiji, Oyebanji was declared winner after polling 319,224 votes, winning across all 16 local government areas of the state.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Oluwole Oluyede, scored 40,543 votes, while the African Democratic Congress (ADC) candidate, Dare Bejide, polled 12,872 votes.

INEC also reported that 384,940 voters were accredited, with 375,777 valid votes and 6,332 rejected ballots, bringing the total votes cast to 382,109.

The election was largely peaceful, though it was marked by reports of technical challenges and allegations of irregularities in some areas.
