Sunday Punch says the rising cost of food items may become worse as terrorists are taking over farmlands and preventing farmers from carrying out farming activities. Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore said it had instructed Fulani people not to vote for Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), the newspaper reports.

Sunday Independent says Ahmadu Fintiri, governor of Adamawa, has been appointed to spearhead reconciliation talks on the feud between Atiku and Wike. The newspaper reports that Mike Ozekhome, a senior advocate of Nigeria, has instituted a legal suit against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to extend voter registration.
