Anambra Senator, Stealer Oduah has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for the various infrastructural developments in the South-East.

The lawmaker representing Anambra North Senatorial District in the National Assembly gave the commendation at an event at the All Progressives Congress (APC) secretariat, Awka, the Anambra capital.

Naija News reports that the lawmaker recently dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressive Congress (APC) and was welcomed to the party by the APC Caretaker Chairman, Mai Mala Buni and the Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma.

According to the former Minister of Aviation, Buhari has brought the dividend of democracy to the South-East, adding that only ungrateful people will say that the President has not done anything for the region.

Oduah stated that the Buhari government has executed many projects in the South-East, saying the developments are there for anyone to see.

“It will amount to a self-deceit for anyone to say that President Muhammadu Buhari, and, APC does not mean well for the South East region,” she said.

Speaking on the reason she joined APC, Oduah said her defection to the ruling party was to enable her to get more projects to her constituents.

Oduah added that her defection to the APC would engender aggressive development in her senatorial zone and the state as a whole.

The Senator stated that while she was in the PDP, her constituents did not enjoy the dividend of democracy and could not do more for them.

She, however, pledged to work for the victory of APC and its governorship candidate, Andy Uba, in the forthcoming November 6 state gubernatorial election.

A report by the Wall Street Journal revealed that the Nigerian Government paid the sum of N20 million to a bandit leader to secure a 12.7 calibre antiaircraft gun in exchange for the payment as President Buhari prepared to fly to his hometown.

This was revealed by the WSJ in a report on Saturday. They also added that a confidential internal report presented to the president in July stated that “Criminal factions appear to be better equipped with larger-capacity advanced weaponry than national security agencies,” adding that herdsmen have reorganised operations mostly into banditry and kidnapping for ransom which fuels the rise in cases.

The WSJ stated that the young intelligence officer sent to retrieve the antiaircraft missile paid nearly $50,000 in crisp Nigerian banknotes, not for a person, but to retrieve a weapon that directly threatened Nigeria’s president.

What the WSJ said
The report cited that the kidnapping gang encamped in Nigeria’s Rugu forest had “seized an antiaircraft gun in a clash with a military unit. That posed a threat to President Muhammadu Buhari, who had been planning to fly to his hometown about 80 miles away, and the government needed to buy it back.”

“Over tea, the militant leader agreed to part with the truck-mounted 12.7 calibre antiaircraft gun in exchange for the ransom: ‘His men had plenty more ammunition,'” he said.

“ ‘I don’t need the army’s weapons,’ he said, according to the officer, whose account was corroborated by another senior Nigerian official involved in the previously undisclosed mission,” the WSJ reported.

“The mission to buy back the antiaircraft gun began with a handoff from a high-ranking air force intelligence officer in the capital Abuja: a black zip-up bag he said was full of 20 million Nigerian Naira.

“It was given to the young intelligence officer tapped to exchange it for the antiaircraft gun the bandits had seized in an area where Mr Buhari frequently flew to visit his hometown of Daura,” they added.

The report also stated that the young officer flew to the town of Jibia on the border with Niger, where a dozen armed men emerged from the forest to meet him. They escorted him on motorbikes into a thick forest for hours, arriving at the home of their leader, a wiry man in his 30s, who collected the sack.

They also revealed that during the process of disassembling the antiaircraft gun and attempting to strap it to a wobbling motorbike, their leader aired a series of grievances against the state, stating that vigilantes had kidnapped his father, young men could no longer earn a livelihood rearing cattle, and airstrikes were killing civilians in his camps, stating that the Nigerian airforce has been bombing civilians and killing children.

The air force officer told WSJ that the bandit made “it look so simple” and “made it feel casual,” as they strapped the antiaircraft gun across two motorbikes and began to wheel it out of the camp.

What you should know
Recall Nairametrics reported in February that President Muhammadu Buhari said that the Federal Government will not succumb to blackmail by bandits who target innocent school students in the expectation of huge ransom payments.

“A hostage crisis is a complex situation that requires maximum patience in order to protect the victims from physical harm or even brutal death at the hands of their captors,” he said.

The President said bandits and terrorists should not entertain the illusion that they were more powerful than the government.

“They shouldn’t mistake our restraint for the humanitarian goals of protecting innocent lives as a weakness or a sign of fear or resolution.

“We will not succumb to blackmail by bandits and criminals who target innocent school students in the expectation of huge ransom payments,” he added.

Meanwhile, according to a report by SBM Intelligence, a geopolitical and economic research firm in its 2021 half-year kidnap report, A total number of 2,371 persons were kidnapped and the sum of N10 billion was demanded in ransom in Nigeria in the first half of 2021.

Russia on Saturday recorded 1,000 Covid-related deaths in a single day for the first time since the pandemic began.

The figure had been rising all week, with the Kremlin blaming the Russian people for not taking up vaccination.

Only about a third of the population has had a jab, amid wide distrust of the vaccines.

Russia's figure of 222,000 Covid deaths is the highest in Europe, with another 33,000 infections reported on Saturday.

The government has avoided bringing in strict restrictions because it says it needs to keep the economy working.

The Kremlin has instead focused on public apathy on vaccination.

This week, spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: "In a situation where infections are growing, it is necessary to continue to explain to people that they must get vaccinated.

"It is really irresponsible not to get vaccinated. It kills," he said.

The government insists the health system has not been overwhelmed and can cope with the rising number of patients.

However, Health Minister Mikhail Murashko urged doctors who had left practices because of Covid fears to get vaccinated and come back to work.

The number of active cases of infected people in Russia is around 750,000 - also the highest it has been since records started in February 2020.

Overall infections since the outbreak began are now closing in on 8 million.

The figures for the percentage of Russians who have had single and full vaccination are surprisingly close together - both just short of a third of the population.

This suggests a large number of people do not want to be vaccinated at all. Recent opinion polls suggested that figure could be more than 50%.

Russia has not been slow in developing vaccines. Its Sputnik V was rolled out quickly last year and it has approved three others.

But it appears to have failed to convince many at home they are either necessary or reliable.

It has had more success selling Sputnik V around the world. But although the vaccine was made available for other countries quickly, it also ran into delivery issues, with some nations unable to get their doses on time.

About 70 nations have authorised the use of Sputnik V but, like Russia's other vaccines, it has yet to be approved by the World Health Organization.

This, along with the lack of international vaccines inside Russia, has led some Russians to take advantage of vaccination tour packages.

Serbia - which Russians can enter without a visa - is one nation where visitors can get a jab of a vaccine such as Pfizer, and open up the possibility of travelling around the world.
