#ABUJA AND LAGOS RALLY

[crimechannels]

By • Olalekan Fagbade Certificate: Allow President Tinubu to breathe, Igbo leader tells opposition Leaders The Deputy Apex leader of Ndigbo in Lagos APC, Sir Jude Idimogu, on Friday appealed to opposition parties to allow President Bola Tinubu breathe and concentrate on governance in the interest of the masses. Idimogu, the immediate past two-term lawmaker, who represented Oshodi-Isolo Constituency II in the Lagos State House of Assembly, made the appeal in an interview with newsmen in Lagos. The former lawmaker, said that after the verdict of the 2023 Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, opposition parties and their candidates needed to rally round the President in the interest of the nation. According to him, politicians against the victory of Tinubu at the Feb. 25 Presidential election and at the court must avoid actions capable of dragging the country’s name in the mud. The lawmaker, reacting to the certificate saga levelled against President Tinubu by PDP’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, described such allegation as politics taken too far and capable of destroying the image of the country. “All I want to tell good Nigerians is to understand that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, did not and will never forge any certificate, and whatever he submitted to INEC is clean and true. “We want to appeal to Nigerians to calm down and not allow themselves to be deceived by those dragging Nigeria’s name in the mud. “We want the opposition to allow our President, who God gave to us to breathe. Please allow him to breathe for the sake of the masses,” Idimogu said. Stating that the Chicago State University never said that the certificate Tinubu submitted to INEC was fake or forged, the lawmaker said that narratives by PDP was an embarrassment to the nation. He added, "They (opposition) should desist from trying to tarnish the image of Nigeria and that of the President Bola Tinubu.” According to him, Tinubu is a God-sent President to Nigeria and the best the nation can ever have. He said that the only thing Nigerians should do was to give the President total and maximum support for the president to lead the nation out of her challenges. “There is nothing anyone can do right now because God has ordained him to be President, and he emerged in spite of all visible hurdles. “God has crowned him as President, we should stop all pettiness. “No matter what the detractors are doing, they cannot pull Tinubu down because God and Nigerians are behind him and he is a man of grace. “The opposition should note this and wait for another election period. “The matter of certificate is a pre-election matter and cannot make any opposition presidential candidate come through the back door,” Idimogu said. The lawmaker described those behind Tinubu’s certificate issues, as interlopers, who would not achieve anything in the journey they have embarked upon. “We know that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will overcome as always and he has passed such hurdles several times,” he added. NAN recalls that PDP’s Atiku on Thursday addressed a news conference in Abuja, which focused on the validity and authenticity of President Tinubu’s academic records from Chicago State University. Atiku has vowed to appeal the tribunal ruling of Sept. 6, which upheld the election of President Tinubu as the winner of the Feb. 25 Presidential election.

NBC penalize TVC, Arise TV over Tinubu, Keyamo, Melaye comments

The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, has fined the Continental Broadcasting Services Limited, owners of Television Continental, TVC, for airing “hate speech and inflammatory comments”. The Commission asked TVC to pay a fine of N2 million within two weeks of receiving the letter. The disclosure was contained in a letter signed by the NBC Director-General, Balarabe Ilelah, on Friday. The commission also fined Arise TV for airing the Presidential campaign rally of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, which was held in Delta State, saying it was replete with unfair mockery of the APC presidential candidate by Dino Melaye. The Commission said it observed TVC’s “consistent” breach of the Nigeria broadcasting code concerning the coverage of activities for the general election. The NBC also said TVC aired hate speech, inflammatory, derogatory and unfair comments, a trend the Commission said had become a house style on TVC. The Commission mentioned references to a media briefing by Festus Keyamo, one of the spokespersons of the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential campaign council, and comments by the presidential candidate of the party, Bola Tinubu. The letter partly stated, “On 06/01/23 at 12:29PM, the Joint Media Directorate of the APC Presidential Campaign Council made the following comments while briefing the media. Festus Keyamo: ‘…Obasanjo and Atiku run a criminal enterprise, an empire of fraud in Abuja. At the same time that Ahmed Bola Asiwaju was toiling hard, beautifully and meticulously to rebuild Lagos, 2 criminals were stealing money in Abuja at the time… they both stole from the SPV account at that time.”’ It also said, “On 24/01/23 at 03:39 PM, during the APC Presidential campaign in Abia State, the APC Presidential Candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu after telling the public to vote APC under the symbol of broom, he went on to make the following comment ‘…You know what you do with the rest of them? They are like lizards, cockroaches and mosquitoes. Just take the broom, wipe them off.”’ Read the full article

[ad_1] Unfolding events have shown that the 2023 general elections may be marred by the activities of political thugs who have been causing mayhem and obstructing campaign activities in several parts of the country, Njenje Media News Our sources reports that despite the Peace Accords signed by presidential candidates of all political parties on September 29 to in a bid commit themselves to a peaceful campaign for the fast approaching election, several political activities have witnessed violent attacks. Although the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu was absent at the event, the two other major contenders, Peter Obi of the Labour Party and The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar signed the peace deal. The deal seems to have relatively no effect on the campaign activities as thugs suspected to be sponsored by political parties continue to unleash terror on supporters of their rival party. We recalls that a social media influencer, Obi Flag Boy, was attacked at Oshodi, Lagos State on October 1, following the one-million-man march for Peter Obi in the State. Condemning the incident, the former Anambra governor had in a tweet noted that peaceful assembly and unfettered electioneering campaigns are constitutionally guaranteed, alleging that the incident was birthed by effort of some persons to silence opposition. ”Elections are not deemed free and fair when a certain group employs the tool of intimidation to ensure that the opposition is silenced, both at the campaigns and at the polls”, he said. A few days after the incident, another supporter of Obi, Joshua Alamu was attacked in Nasarawa State when thousands of persons rallied in support of his presidential ambition. Our sources recall that at least one person was killed while several others were injured when political thugs attacked the Zamfara State governorship candidate of the PDP Dr. Dauda Lawal on October 14. Lawal in a statement issued by the Dauda Lawal Media Centre in Gusau, accused the APC of sponsoring the attack, saying the thugs were armed to-the-teeth Recall also that suspected hoodlums on October 17 disrupted the presidential campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ranchers Bees Stadium, Kaduna State. According to reports, the hoodlums came into the Stadium with sticks and machetes and started attacking the crowd, leaving many supporters of the party injured. No fewer than 74 persons were hospitalised, while over 100 vehicles were vandalised when hoodlums allegedly sponsored by some political parties attacked supporters of the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar in Maiduguri, Borno State on November 9 after a campaign rally. In the same vein, a man identified as Lateef Wasiu was on Wednesday caught with double-faced Jack-knife at the Lekan Salami Stadium Adamasingba, Ibadan Oyo State during the Labour Party presidential campaign. The suspect, who was arrested by the police and charged to court, was said to have positioned himself at a strategic place where the LP candidate, Peter Obi was expected to pass. Speaking with us on the return of thuggery and violence in Nigerian, a ward chairman of PDP in Bwari Area Council, Abuja, Mr Victor Ademagba fingered the ruling APC for the attacks. He said, “we all know that APC has questions to answer in all these attacks. How come only PDP and Labour Party members and supporters are always attacked? “When last did you hear that thugs attacked APC members during either campaign rally or any other function? It has always been the opposition parties. “Some presidential candidates were deliberately absent from the Peace Accord event and we are seeing the reasons now. Until something is done about this menace, the 2023 elections may end as rubbish because polling units will be their target”. Our sources report that APC had several times distanced itself from all the attacks, saying they are not known for violence. Meanwhile,

the United Kingdom last week said it will use its visa programme to punish whoever is involved in electoral violence either directly or indirectly in the forthcoming elections. The British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Catriona Laing who gave the assurance in an interview with NAN, said the UK would monitor the elections closely. [ad_2]

"I recall that in 2012, Benue, Anambra and others were similarly affected and the Federal Government and Nigerians rallied in support of victims, especially the IDPs.” Obi, one of the frontline contestants for the nation’s number one job, alongside Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), amongst others, said he expected other presidential candidates to show concerns to the plight of victims of flooding, considering how millions were spent on nomination forms alone.

The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja directed by Justice Binta Nyako provided the request on Tuesday.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

As per the Minister of Information and Culture, Mr Lai Mohammed who tended to newsmen on Thursday, the outlaw was re-captured following the endeavors of the Nigerian Security and Intelligence Agencies as a team with specialists of different nations.

FG captured Kanu fully intent on finishing the rising tumults for the realization of Biafra, an unsettled sovereign country for the Southeastern public (Igbos).

Also, the DSS on Wednesday night raged the home of a Yoruba lobbyist, the significant pioneer of the Yoruba country (Oduduwa) in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital where around two of his partners were gunned down.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

Igboho who had effectively led the Yoruba country’s convention in certain states in the Southwest, had before the intrusion of his home by DSS, planned a uber rally in Lagos State on Saturday, July third.

Representative of the assistance, Peter Afunanya, while announcing the secessionist needed during a press preparation on Thursday night, additionally strutted no less than 12 suspects captured during the activity.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

Yet, a few Nigerians who responded to the advancements were doubtful on why the security organizations are clasping down on ‘guiltless’ fomenters while “fear monger supporters” especially Ahmed Gumi and Miyetti Allah are permitted to go free notwithstanding signs of binds with scoundrels and different crooks. Others, nonetheless, are of the perspectives that the fomenters have overstretched the cutoff points in their activities and expressions

A Facebook client, Miracle Brave who took to his page to communicate disillusionment on the improvement asserted that the president is to a greater degree a “destroyer than a Messiah,” as he was accepted to be.He said, “Kanu is pushing for the opportunity of Biafra (the making of the province of Biafra for the South East and South-South).

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

“Igboho is upholding for the wellbeing of his kin in the Sout West against threat of Fulani Herdsmen. He additionally requires the making of the Oduduwa Nation. Gumi is upholding for criminals who have been abducting understudies and different residents in the North. The outlaws have likewise been killing and obliterating lives and property.

“Those in the Southern parts are being captured and proclaimed needed for supporting courses while the desperados in the North and their chief in spite of being insubordinate without a sensible course are being spoiled and treated well.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

“Is this the (rtd) Major General Muhammadu Buhari we were told would be the savior of Nigeria in the event that we choose him to be our President?

“Why he’s currently being all the more a destroyer rather than a Messiah? Certainly, we’ve been up to speed! Thank heavens I never trusted in the purported savior from the beginning and have never made my choice for him. The individuals who did should begin saying ‘sorry’ to Nigerians now”.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

Another client, Marley Otsayi said, “Sheik Gumi knows the obscure shooters yet no security specialist has stripped his home at this point or even addressed him. What a country! In the mean time, some place in the North they turn up for gatherings with AK-47”.

Comr Onogwu Peter in his page said, “In my country, when you become a danger to government for the honest residents, blast they will set you up for the best explanation known to them”.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

Also, a previous official assistant, Reno Omokri while responding to the turn of events, portrayed the Yoruba dissident, Sunday Igboho as a saint, saying President Muhammadu Buhari and the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai are “fear empowering influences”.

As indicated by him, “Buhari is a fear empowering agent for restoring Boko Haram, Masari is a dread empowering influence,

El-Rufai is a fear enabler.Leave Igboho and face the dread supporters and empowering influences.

“What moral authority does an administration that held a graduation celebration for psychological militants, that sewed new garments for them, that purchased shoes and socks for them, that purchased food and beverages for their party, have for capturing Sunday Igboho, a man who assists us with battling executioner herders?”

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

Additionally, in a talk with DAILY POST, a lawful expert, Barrister John Odeigwu claimed that the president has a secret plan for saving Gumi and the Miyetti Allah.

This Miyetti Allah have never been welcomed by any security office notwithstanding their psychological oppressor exercises the nation over. This might be on the grounds that it needs to do Fulani.

“The other one that is continually meeting and pushing for scoundrels in the North has been permitted to move openly in light of the fact that he is additionally a Northerner. So clearly the fight is against the South,” he said.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

However, a veteran columnist who doesn’t need her name referenced is of the assessment that Igboho and Nnamdi Kanu went excessively far in their disturbances for self determin-ation. As per her, you can in any case be tranquil in your fomentation both in real life and expressions, yet accomplish your objectives.

“You can’t be impelling individuals against the public authority, causing emergency to a great extent, yet anticipate that the government should continue to watch you powerlessly. Government will be government quickly.”

#EndSARS Protesters Killed In Lagos, Abuja, Others To Be Revealed Soon – Falana

Human rights activist and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, has mentioned that the identities of Nigerians who have been killed and brutally injured through the current EndSARS protests in Abuja, Lagos, Oyo, Edo and different components of the nation would quickly be revealed.

Falana famous that it ought to curiosity public officers who have been “dancing on the graves of the slain protesters” that the bereaved households have been nonetheless quietly shedding tears over their irreparable losses. 

The human rights lawyer said these throughout a convocation lecture he delivered on the Ekiti State College on Wednesday.

The twentieth convocation lecture was titled “Restructuring and the Liberation of Nigeria.”

Falana mentioned, “Not solely have been unarmed protesters not protected through the current #EndSARS protests, employed thugs violently attacked them. For the reason that employed thugs weren’t arrested, hoodlums hijacked the protests and unleashed mayhem on the society.

“Within the course of, properties value billions have been destroyed. The military and the police killed over 100 protesters. The members of the political class who use the realm boys as thugs throughout elections needs to be held responsible for permitting them to metamorphose into hoodlums throughout protests. 

“Let the members of the political class who recruit and arm thugs for elections solely to dump them with out demobilising them cease blaming the youths for organising peaceable protests.

“Allow me to guarantee the Nigerian people who the identities of those that have been severely injured and brutally killed in Abuja, Ogbomoso, Benin, Port Harcourt, Lekki and different components of Lagos will quickly be revealed. 

“It might curiosity the general public officers who’re dancing on the graves of the slain protesters that the bereaved households are quietly shedding tears over their irreparable losses. I’m compelled to name on the Nigerian folks to not enable the Nigeria Police Power and different safety companies to infringe on their elementary rights of freedom of expression and meeting.”

“Nonetheless, to stop hoodlums from hijacking peaceable protests, rallies and marches we name on the President to direct the Inspector-Basic of Police and Commissioners of Police in all of the states of the Federation to adjust to part 94 of the Electoral Act 2010 as amended,” he mentioned.  

The human rights lawyer famous that restructuring alone wouldn’t robotically reply the “menacing query of rising youth joblessness and hopelessness plaguing the Nigerian society.”

“So we must always cease mystifying the controversy by calling for a “true federalism” as a substitute of asking for a workable federation of Nigeria. Making a federation to work, constructing a nation or selling nationwide integration isn’t a completed enterprise.

“That is why it is a gross misnomer when some folks pronounce arrogantly that “Nigeria’s unity isn’t negotiable. That is unsuitable. Federations are, in fact, topic to negotiations when the necessity arises in any technology.

“What’s to be achieved is to simply accept the fact of negotiation and compromise to offer everybody a way of belonging. It will invariably spur a way of dedication to the union. Come to consider it; there shall be negotiations and engagements from technology to technology as points come up,” he added.

PTF CONCERNED ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH OF COVID-19 SURVIVORS -MUATAPHA The Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 has expressed concern over the mental state of survivors of COVID-19 in the country. Boss Mustapha, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and Chairman of the taskforce expressed the concern in Abuja at the joint national briefing of the taskforce. “The PTF is still very much concerned about the mental health of survivors of the COVID-19 virus. “In this regard, the PTF is following reports from researches around the world regarding the state of psychiatric health of survivors and has intensified plans for in-country response under the treatment and post-treatment regimes,” Mustapha said. Mustapha said monitoring the global situation would particularly help in the planning of trips. He noted that the global cases crossed the 52 million mark with USA, India and Brazil accounting for 48 per cent of all global cumulative burden. “The USA has been recording over 100,000 cases daily in recent times and the rate of fatalities is increasing in the UK and other European countries. “Five countries (USA, Brazil, India, Mexico and UK) account for 53 per cent (685,176) of global deaths. On the African continent, Morocco, South Africa and Tunisia reported the highest cases in the last 24 hours. “The number of cases has been fluctuating lately and that is an indication that we are not out of the woods yet. “The cases in Lagos where multiple infections were recorded in two schools are typical examples of the danger of reopening institutions without the required measures. “We must all rally round each other to stop this pandemic from destroying our lives and economy. ” The PTF believes strongly that now is the time to raise the tempo of not just our national response but also our preparedness for a new wave of the pandemic or any other epidemic for that matter. ” For example, it has been strongly observed that places of worship, gatherings and other events have dumped the use of face masks and adherence to other NPIs,” he said.
