Vice President of Boardwalk Group and Abuja-based real estate developer, Chief Mrs. Obiageli Okwubanego, has commended Anambra State Governor, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, for completing the 16.4-kilometre Nawfija–Ajali–Ufuma–Ogbunka Road, describing the project as a major economic lifeline for communities in Orumba South Local Government Area. Speaking with journalists on Wednesday in Maitama, Abuja, Okwubanego said the newly completed road has drastically reduced travel time between the affected communities and Awka, the state capital, to about 15 minutes, while easing the perennial traffic congestion experienced during festive periods. According to her, the road now serves as an alternative route for motorists who previously spent several hours in traffic around Umuomaku and neighbouring communities during Christmas, Easter, August meetings and other celebrations. “This road is very strategic and like a bypass.

Masari’s Actions May Cost APC North-West Support, Group Tells Tinubu

Image
  A pro-democracy group, the Partnership for Democratic Awareness and Good Governance (P4DAGG), has accused Presidential Political Adviser Ibrahim Masari of playing a role in the removal of former Minister of Housing and Urban Development Ahmed Musa Dangiwa. Dangiwa and Wale Edun left the Federal Executive Council earlier this week following a viral statement announcing their replacements. While many Nigerians saw the development as a dismissal, the Presidency later issued a statement claiming that both officials had resigned. Reacting to Dangiwa’s exit, P4DAGG alleged that Masari, a fellow indigene of Katsina State, orchestrated Dangiwa’s removal. The group claimed Masari has repeatedly used his position to pursue personal interests at the expense of the state’s development. P4DAGG further alleged that rather than attracting federal projects to the state, the presidential aide has acted in ways that undermine the state's development. According to the group, the Preside...

2027: Fix Dangerous Loophole Now, Atiku Demands Urgent Amendment Of Electoral Act

Image
Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has issued a stern warning over what he described as a grave and dangerous ambiguity in Nigeria’s Electoral Act, calling on the National Assembly to act immediately safeguard the sanctity of the ballot. In a statement signed Wednesday in Abuja, by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, the Waziri Adamawa raised alarm over Section 63 of the Act, particularly the provision that allows a ballot paper without an official mark to be counted at the discretion of a returning officer. “This is not a minor technical issue—it is a direct threat to electoral integrity,” Atiku declared. He warned that any legal provision that permits discretion in determining the validity of ballot papers creates a loophole that could be exploited to compromise the will of the people. “A democracy cannot survive on ambiguity. A ballot must either meet the standard or it does not. The moment you leave such a critical decision to subjec...

Image
Kimberly Daniels, a United States Democratic member of the Florida House of Representatives for District 14, has alleged that Nigeria’s Minister of State for Defense, Bello Matawalle, attempted to bribe a US official to deflect the narrative of the United World Congress of Diplomats, UN-WCD, report. The lawmaker made the claim in a viral video released on her official Facebook account on Monday. She said Matawalle’s alleged move was to cover up the UN-WCD report on Christian genocide in Nigeria, which indicted him. Daniels insisted that no amount of pressure can silence her stand against the killings of Christians in Nigeria. “A US elected official was offered money by Nigeria’s minister of state defense, Bello Matawalle, to change the narrative of the UN-WCD Christian genocide in Nigeria report,” she said in the viral video. Recall that Daniels, who doubled as the chairperson of UN-WCD, had called for President Bola Tinubu to remove Matawalle over alleged complicity in the...

Timi Frank Petitions U.S., Demands Gbajabiamila’s Resignation Over ‘Anti-democratic’ Remarks

Image
Political activist, Comrade Timi Frank, has called on the United States Government to investigate and sanction the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, over alleged actions capable of undermining Nigeria’s democracy. Frank’s demand followed a viral video in which Gbajabiamila was quoted as telling Hon Leke Abejide, during his wife’s 50th birthday that: “Don’t come to APC. Stay in ADC and scatter them. We like what you’re doing… stay in ADC and win your election… bring Bala Gombe, and we’ll support him. Good luck in court.” Describing the remarks as “reckless” and dangerous, the former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said they point to a deliberate attempt to weaken opposition parties and erode democratic institutions. “Your statement, as Chief of Staff, raises serious concerns about the determination by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s regime to truncate democracy,” he said, adding that “inference can be made that ther...
