SDP 2023 Presidential Candidate Criticizes Tinubu Over 15% Import Duty on Refined Petroleum Products
The Social Democratic Party (SDP) 2023 presidential candidate has openly condemned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s approval of a 15% import duty on refined petroleum products, calling it an “anti-people decision.”
He warned that the policy would further deepen the economic struggles of Nigerians by increasing fuel prices and putting more pressure on small businesses already battling inflation and high operational costs.
The SDP candidate emphasized that instead of adding more taxes, the government should prioritize the rehabilitation of local refineries, strengthen domestic production, and implement people-centered economic reforms aimed at reducing hardship.
According to him, real progress can only be achieved when leadership focuses on empowering citizens and making life easier for the average Nigerian.

South Korea Fires Warning Shots at North Korean Vessel Crossing Maritime Border
South Korea’s military confirmed that it fired warning shots early today after a North Korean commercial vessel crossed the Northern Limit Line (NLL) in the Yellow Sea.
The incident occurred around 5 a.m. near Baengnyeong Island, a sensitive maritime area that has been the site of repeated clashes between the two Koreas. Officials said the South Korean Navy first issued audio warnings, and when the vessel failed to comply, warning shots were fired. The North Korean ship then retreated back across the boundary.
The NLL serves as the de facto maritime border between the two Koreas, but Pyongyang has never formally recognized it, often leading to heightened tensions in the region. Analysts warn that such incidents highlight the fragile security environment in the Yellow Sea and the risk of escalation.
