Humiliated Putin launches ‘Operation Revenge’: heir to throne sent to Kursk
Ukraine’s assault on Russian territory in the Kursk border region began on Aug. 6. Ukrainian troops crossed the border with Russia more than a week ago now and immediately advanced briskly. And that went surprisingly smoothly. An absolute humiliation for Russian President Vladimir Putin, who responded by sending his fated successor to the region in question. ‘Operation Revenge’ takes off.
By the way, the name of Putin’s former bodyguard, Alexei Dyumin, is surfacing more and more emphatically in the catacombs of the Kremlin. Indeed, Russia is already considering the possibility that this man might become Putin’s successor.
Dyumin was recently appointed secretary of the State Consultative Council, and his appointment has prompted speculation about his possible succession. Dyumin joined the Russian Federal Guard (FSO) in 1995 and was responsible for Putin’s security during his first two terms in office. From 2016 to the present, he served as governor of the Tula region. Also worth mentioning is his position as deputy head of the Russian Central Intelligence Unit (GRU) in 2014, a unit that played a key role in the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula. For this, he was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department in 2018 and by the United Kingdom in 2023, when Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began.
Alexei Dyumin has now been appointed a “wrecking angel,” according to Russian media, and is expected to reclaim the 1,000 square kilometers of divorced soil within a short time. The 51-year-old Dyumin is Putin’s former bodyguard and grew up in the Kursk region. Dyumin was thus given the onerous task by Putin himself of chasing Ukrainians back to their own country.

“ADC is a Holy Party, Cannot be used to Scam Nigerians Again” – Hon Success Opara tells David Mark
ADC Party in Turmoil: Hon Success Opara Slams Leadership, Warns Against Scamming Nigerians
Abuja, Nigeria – The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is facing internal strife as Hon Success Opara, a prominent party official, has warned against attempts to use the party to deceive Nigerians. Opara specifically criticized the leadership of David Mark, stating that the party cannot be used to scam citizens again.
“ADC holy Party cannot be used to scam Nigerians again,” Opara said, emphasizing that those forming coalitions are hindering the party’s growth and denying youths opportunities to thrive.
“Those who are forming coalition don’t want to give the youths the chance to strive in the party,” she added.
Opara’s statement highlights the deepening divisions within the ADC, with concerns over leadership and the party’s direction.
The factional National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Nafiu Bala Gombe, has announced that the party under his leadership will bar individuals above the age of 55 from contesting for political positions.
Gombe made the disclosure during an interview with BBC Hausa, where he outlined a vision centred on generational change and greater youth participation in politics.
“The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is a party that belongs to all Nigerians. What we are doing now is to ensure the party moves forward properly.
“We have decided that we will give the youths a real chance. The time has come for young people to take the lead in politics.
“If you are over 55 years old, you are not going to contest for positions in the ADC under our leadership.
“We want to bring in fresh blood, new ideas, and energy from the youth. Nigeria’s future depends on the young generation.
“The old ways have not worked well for the country. We need to open the door wide for youths to participate fully as candidates, leaders, and decision-makers,” he said.
