The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Public Communications, Sunday Dare

President Bola Tinubu has left Nigeria for a three-week vacation in Europe as preparations intensify for the 2027 general elections.

Naija News earlier reported that the President departed Abuja on Sunday for the break, which his media aide, Sunday Dare, described as an opportunity to rest and regain strength ahead of an expected period of hectic political activities.

Dare, the Presidential Adviser on Media and Public Communications, spoke with journalists shortly after Tinubu’s departure from the Federal Capital Territory.

Explaining the reason for the President’s vacation, Dare said Tinubu had spent the last several months dealing with major national issues, including the economy and security.

He said the sustained engagement made the break necessary, particularly as the political season had begun.

Dare said, “The President has had several months six, seven months of being engaged with state matters. We’ve seen monumental changes, monumental decisions taken with our security, with our economy and so many other things as pertains to the running of the affairs of this country.

“And at this point, the campaign season has just started. We have four, five months of serious campaigning. Of course, governance will still continue.

“And at this point, it’s important that the President also refuels. And even though he’s going on leave, we know that he’ll be engaged with state matters on a daily basis.”

The presidential aide explained that government business would continue while Tinubu was outside the country.

He said the President was expected to remain in contact with ministers, service chiefs and other officials responsible for critical areas of governance.

“He will receive briefings from his ministers, from the service chiefs as the case may be, and from every other person who is handling very key decisions in our country,” Dare added.

The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said London, United Kingdom, would be the President’s first destination.

Onanuga also said Tinubu would return to Nigeria at the end of the vacation and join the campaign activities ahead of the January 2027 presidential election.

European Parliament Moves To Ban Muslim Brotherhood Infiltration Of Institutions In Landmark Resolution

Published

on

Europe has finally moved from talking to acting!

The European Parliament has stepped up its action against the Muslim Brotherhood, voting on 8 October 2026 in favour of a resolution calling for a unified European strategy to address the networks of the “Muslim Brotherhood” and their influence, in a new move that brings the question of placing the group and entities linked to it on the European terrorist list before EU institutions.

The Strasbourg vote marks a turning point after years of fragmented national debates, intelligence warnings, court battles and street-level fears about parallel societies. For the first time, the EU’s directly elected body has demanded a common continental response, with the threat of a terrorist listing hanging over the Brotherhood’s European network.

The resolution secured 381 votes in favour and 167 against, while 15 members abstained, according to the voting results on the resolution concerning the establishment of a European strategy to address the Muslim Brotherhood network and its influence. The margin, 381 to 167, was not even close. It signals that a broad coalition from the centre-right to parts of the centre-left now believes the threat requires a European answer, not just national patchwork responses. Analysts who have followed the debate in Brussels said the vote reflects months of behind-the-scenes lobbying by French and German lawmakers who brought intelligence dossiers to the Parliament’s committees. According to *independent.ng*, the scale of the vote has sent shockwaves through civil society groups in Brussels, with many now scrambling to understand what a unified listing could mean for funding, advocacy and legal status across the bloc.

A Unified Strategy To Hunt The Network

The Parliament calls for an assessment of the possibility of listing entities and individuals linked to the Muslim Brotherhood on the European Union’s list of terrorist organisations, alongside measures concerning funding and cooperation among member states to counter the activities of networks associated with the group.

This is not just a symbolic statement. The text demands concrete tools: shared intelligence, joint financial investigations, common criteria for defining affiliation, and a freeze on any EU money that could indirectly benefit the network. The resolution is expected to move the issue beyond fragmented national debates towards the pursuit of a common European approach encompassing funding, transparency and institutional relations, as well as an assessment of the possibility of placing entities or individuals linked to the Brotherhood on the European terrorist list, following the expansion of debate in several European countries over the relationship between political Islam and civil society activity.

For years, one EU country would ban a Brotherhood charity while the next country hosted its conference. That era, lawmakers say, is over. The new strategy would force every member state to apply the same standards of transparency and scrutiny, especially around money flows from outside Europe.

FEMYSO Expelled: Brussels Cuts Off Youth Front

In one of its most explosive paragraphs, the resolution calls for the permanent exclusion of the organisation “FEMYSO”, the Forum of European Muslim Youth and Student Organisations, from European institutions. The organisation is considered close to the Muslim Brotherhood.

FEMYSO has for decades positioned itself as a representative of young European Muslims, holding meetings with the European Commission, the Parliament and the Council of Europe. Critics say that was a perfect cover for ideological influence, allowing the network to shape integration policy, youth programmes and anti-discrimination discourse from the inside.

Supporters of FEMYSO deny any operational link to the Brotherhood and describe the move as Islamophobic. But the Parliament’s majority disagreed. The permanent exclusion clause means no more access badges, no more hearings, no more funding applications through EU youth programmes. It is a direct institutional firewall.

Follow The Money: EPP Demands Audit Of Islamic Funding

The European People’s Party Group said that one of the resolution’s main objectives is to call for the tracking of European funds paid to Islamic entities and the cessation of any funding to them.

That pledge strikes at the heart of the network’s survival. Investigators across Europe have long complained that Brotherhood-linked charities receive municipal grants, EU integration funds and donations from Gulf states, then redistribute them to mosques, schools and media outlets that preach the same political Islam ideology.

The EPP wants a forensic audit. Every euro, every grant, every public contract must be traced. If a group is found to be part of the network, the tap must be turned off immediately. The proposal also calls on member states to share banking intelligence and to cooperate with financial intelligence units to stop external funding that fuels separatism.

Infiltration Of Institutions: Germany Raises The Alarm

Meanwhile, Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, the country’s domestic intelligence agency, has expressed concern over a marked increase in the influence of the “Muslim Brotherhood” in the eastern German state of Saxony.

The head of the agency’s Saxony branch, Gordian Meyer-Plath, announced that the “Muslim Brotherhood” had exploited the shortage of places of worship for Muslims who arrived in Saxony as refugees through organisations such as the cultural association “Saxony Forum”, in order to expand its structures and disseminate its conception of political Islam.

Meyer-Plath’s warning was blunt: the Brotherhood did not need to build new mosques from scratch. It simply took over the ones that desperate refugees needed. By providing prayer space, Arabic lessons, counselling and community support, the network gained trust, then gradually introduced its political doctrine.

Meanwhile, court rulings and administrative decisions reveal that the authorities have begun tracking the channels used by Brotherhood networks to gain access to public-sector jobs, the education sector and integration programmes, while subjecting employees and institutions to assessments of constitutional loyalty, financial transparency and adherence to state values.

Karlsruhe Ruling: Loyalty Test For Civil Servants

The Administrative Court in Karlsruhe upheld the rejection of an appointment to a position in the foreigners’ registration office, citing the requirement that civil servants undergo scrutiny, following information provided by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution concerning the applicant’s proximity to the Muslim Brotherhood. The decision was based in particular on her educational activities within an association and a mosque under security surveillance.

That ruling is now being studied by interior ministries across Europe. It establishes a legal precedent: working in a Brotherhood-linked educational environment can be sufficient to question a candidate’s constitutional loyalty, especially for sensitive posts dealing with foreigners, integration and schools.

Recent European moves point to efforts to close the spaces exploited by Brotherhood networks to operate behind educational or social fronts and to prevent state institutions themselves from becoming channels for ideological influence. According to *independent.ng*, similar loyalty assessments are now being discussed in Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands, where intelligence services have also reported Brotherhood-linked teachers and social workers operating inside state-funded integration programmes.

France: The Epicentre Of The Battle

France is home to the largest Muslim communities in Europe, with the number of Muslims residing in French society estimated at around six million, the highest figure among European countries. The country also has more than 250 Islamic associations spread across its territory, including 51 associations considered affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, alongside a number of other entities, such as the “Collective Against Islamophobia”, the “Faith and Practice Association”, the “Centre for Studies and Research on Islam”, the “European Institute of Human Sciences” and the “Ibn Sina Institute”, which trains imams.

The “Union of Islamic Organisations in France” — currently known as “Muslims of France” — is considered one of the most influential Islamic entities in the country. It was established in the Meurthe-et-Moselle département in June 1983 and has since grown into a nationwide federation with youth camps, summer schools, publishing houses and student networks.

French officials have watched this ecosystem expand for decades, often powerless because each association was legally separate. The new French report and the EU resolution now try to connect the dots and treat the network as a single strategic challenge.

The 2025 French Report That Shook The Republic

In this context, a French report published in May 2025 revealed funding for an ideological doctrine that converges with terrorist radical organisations and is promoted under various banners. The report prompted alarm at the highest levels of the country’s leadership, while the French Parliament called on the European Parliament to include the Muslim Brotherhood on terrorist lists.

The report discussed a broad network of institutions linked to the group, amid concerns over the rise of anti-Muslim rhetoric under the guise of combating political Islam. It meticulously documented the ways in which the Muslim Brotherhood had penetrated
