Gov. Alia Seized 23 Cars Legitimately Allocated To Me, I Went To Court and Won them Back - Ortom We have a government in Benue State that does not believe in the rule of law, that engages in witch-hunts and runs down its opponents. After I left office, vehicles that were legitimately allocated to me by the government were seized by the administration in a manner that was unbecoming. I went to court, defeated them, and the court ordered them to pay ₦5 million in damages in addition to returning the 23 vehicles that were initially seized. Since this government came into office, there has not been a single stakeholders’ meeting across party lines. The APC government in Benue a sham, completely at variance with the tenets of democracy. Samuel Ortom, Former Governor of Benue State

Peter Obi Lacks Oratorical Power Unlike Tinubu, a Political Force Since 1978 — Otubanjo You should ask yourself: what is Atiku selling to Nigerians? Credibility, performance, ethics, or morality? The answer is nothing. What is Peter Obi selling beyond the fact that he represents the aspirations of the Southeast for the presidency? They are running a bland campaign. When you listen to Peter Obi speak, his delivery is flat and he unfortunately lacks the oratorical power to sell his vision. Tinubu may not have that either, but he has a proven record as a political force in Nigeria. Prof. Femi Otubanjo, Research Professor, Nigerian Institute of International Affairs

Peter Obi: Benue Protest Against My Visit Initiated by Governor’s Special Adviser I am currently in Benue State to express my condolences to the families who have lost over 200 members to terrorist attacks in recent times. However, I have been informed that youths, led by the Special Adviser to the Benue State Governor, have blocked the road to prevent me from proceeding. I have been here for a while, hoping they would see reason. We cannot continue like this. There are people who are hungry and insecure. These are the same people we must lift out of poverty by creating opportunities for them to earn a livelihood. That is one of the key purposes of my visit. Peter Obi, NDC Presidential Candidate

You Need No One to Tell You Peter Obi Blocked In Yelwata Was Government-Sponsored - Sowore It was written all over the crowd, the way they conducted themselves, and the body language of the security agencies hanging around. The fact that, since the activity took place, we have not heard officially from the police force that they were part of the plan to prevent him from entering Yelwata and it’s a shame. Omoyele Sowore, Activist & Presidential Candidate, African Action Congress

Peter Obi Does Not Need to Consult With Anybody Before Visiting Any Part of the Country - Tietie The governor of Benue and his aides must be under the illusion that there is a requirement that a Nigerian citizen should get clearance from a governor. No matter how prominent he is, the constitution guarantees freedom of movement for every citizen. Frank Tietie, Lawyer | Arise Analyst

Pinnick: Infantino’s FFE Proposal Will Give Each Member Association $20 Million As FIFA President, Gianni Infantino has the right to propose changes, and it is up to stakeholders to accept or reject them. One of the major characteristics of the FIFA President is his ability to consult widely, and he is doing so with the FFE Proposal. Under this proposal, FIFA would sell minority stakes in a new for-profit commercial subsidiary, FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), to external investors. The beneficiaries of the proposal will still be the member associations — including the Nigeria FA, Ghana FA, South African FA, and all other FAs. This proposal should be celebrated in the wake of the most successful World Cup. Amaju Pinnick Deputy Chairperson, FIFA Men’s National Teams Competition Committee

2027 Polls: I Will Reopen Borders, Develop Southern Ports if Elected - Atiku The presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress in the 2027 election, Atiku Abubakar, has promised to reopen the land borders with neighbouring countries if elected President saying the closures had severely affected economic activities in Northern states bordering Cameroon, Chad, Niger Republic and Benin Republic. The former Vice President spoke in response to a call by Atiku Agenda Support Group led by Emmanuel Ntekim, during a courtesy call on him in his residence in Abuja on Thursday. According to him, many young Nigerians who depended on legitimate cross-border trade have been pushed into financial difficulties as a result of the restrictions. He said reopening the borders would help revive cross-border commerce and restore economic opportunities for affected communities.

There Are So Many People Around The President With A Rosy Picture Of What The Country Is — Onaiyekan I was not surprised the president wasn’t looking very happy, even his colleagues present. We knew this is different from what our president keeps receiving from people, and that is one of the things that worry us. We have the obligation to help him to appreciate the reality of the situation in which we have found ourselves. John Cardinal Onaiyekan Archbishop Emeritus, Catholic Diocese of Abuja

Ebonyi Airport Has Become A Church, Only Governor’s Plane Lands There - Otu Governor Nwifuru just completed a law programme at EBSU before he became governor. He has not even gone to law school. Governor Nwifuru’s background does not inspire anyone. It does not point to someone who has built something as a private individual. The airport has become a worship centre. A church has taken over the airport and is currently using it for midweek and Sunday services. The only plane that lands there is the one carrying the governor and his wife. No other private or commercial flights are landing at the airport. Charles Otu, Spokesperson, Ebonyi Civil Society Coalition Group

Lack Of Electricity Makes The Population Double In Nigeria - Fayose When you don’t address the issue of electricity, by 7 o’clock it gets dark, and people start engaging with their wives, so the population doubles. The simple problem is that, because there is no electricity, people go to bed early. Their minds are already prepared for it. If this is the only option available, they simply stay at home. But if we address the electricity problem, there will be nightlife. Ayodele Fayose, Chairman, Rural Electrification Agency

Nigeria Cannot Afford the Lagos-Calabar Highway; I Don’t Think the Road Will Go Beyond Epe – Duke There is already a road from Lagos to Calabar; if the road is poor, fix it. There are some expenditures we make that do not reflect the realities of our circumstances. The amount spent on that road could be better spent providing electricity or upgrading the healthcare system. Donald Duke, Presidential Candidate, People’s Redemption Party

RIVERS YOUTH FOUND 18 YEARS AFTER DISAPPEARANCE Gospel Kinanee, at 14 years old, left home one night and never returned. His family says their search for him took them to police stations, but to no avail. His brother says the correctional centre where he has now been found was visited twice during the search. With no formal trial or access to legal representation, the young Ogoni man, who went missing in 2007, was one of 21 inmates released from the Port Harcourt Correctional Centre when the Chief Judge of Rivers State, Justice Simeon Amadi, flagged off the Rivers State Jail Delivery Exercise. His family named him Gospel Kinanee, but the correctional centre has him in its records as Baridi Sunday. Gospel Kinanee's mental health is now the subject of litigation.
