The meeting of Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), with officials of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) dominated the cover pages of Nigerian newspapers.

The Punch reports that Tinubu said
those criticising him over his choice of Kashim Shettima as his running mate in the 2023 polls had approached him for the position. Abdulrasheed Bawa, chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), said naira redesign is targeted at looted funds, the newspaper says.


The Nation says President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the sum of N134.7 billion for the payment of security debarment allowance to all military veterans. The newspaper reports that the federal government has insisted on the policy of no-work-no-pay for members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).


Daily Trust says the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has set agenda for the 18 candidates contesting the 2023 presidential election. The newspaper says the senate has backed the decision of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to redesign the naira notes.


THISDAY says Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has vowed to revive the economic policies implemented during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo. The newspaper reports that Tinubu said he cannot Islamise the country since he could not Islamise his home.


The Guardian says civil society organisations (CSOs) have asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to sanction its officials who involved registered underage persons as voters. The newspaper reports that
gunmen have killed nine members of a family in Maikatako community, Bokkos LGA of Plateau state.
