Less than 24 hours to the end of his tenure, Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has declared the Atyap Community Development Association as an unlawful society.

This was contained in a statement Muyiwa Adekeye, Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Communication, issued on Sunday.

He stated that the governor signed the proscription order in the exercise of the powers conferred by Section 60 of the Kaduna State Penal Code Law No. 5 of 2017, and Section 5 (2) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The governor’s said the proscription order became effective on May 24, 2023.

Adekeye added: “The proscription order noted that Sections 38 and 40 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria guarantee the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion and also the right to the freedom of association and peaceful assembly to all citizens.

“It also noted that Section 45 (1) of the1999 Constitution vests in the Governor the powers to take such measures and actions as are necessary for the promotion and protection of public safety, public order, public morality or public health, or the rights and freedom of all persons in Kaduna State.”

Ex-Iranian President Returns To Class As Teacher, Takes Public Bus To Work
***
As many Nigerian politicians that are Governors are retiring in the next few weeks, some Governors like Ebonyi State Governor (Dave Umahi) just got ₦1.6bn retirement package in a State that has over 70% poverty level.

In Iran (Western Asia), a former President, His Excellency Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who headed the Iranian Government as head of state for 8 years (2005-2013), now works as a teacher.

This photo of Ahmadinejad using public transportation appeared on the social network. A reference was made under the photo that during his 8 years of presidency Ahmadinejad did not receive a salary from the state budget, living on a teacher's salary. During his presidency, he did not initiate the ex-presidency law in order to receive a high pension. He went back to teaching again, and as you can see, he takes the bus to work.

PoliticsFirst Ladies Deserve Privileges After Vacating Office — Aisha Buhari by olatade(op): 4:32pm On May 26, 2023
Outgoing First Lady, Mrs Aisha Buhari, has called for the application of certain privileges akin to the provision of vehicles, sponsored medical treatments and provision of some stipends, among others that are due to former Presidents, to wives of Presidents as against the existing position.

Mrs Buhari said first ladies deserved these privileges just like their husbands or Presidents in office and out of office because when the pressure comes, nobody wants to know whether you are out of the villa or not.

Aisha Buhari spoke at the launching of a book in Abuja authored by the President of the Defence and Police Officers’ Wives Association (DEPOWA), Mrs Vickie Anwuli Irabor, titled, “The Journey of a Military Wife”.

Aisha Buhari spoke at the launching of a book in Abuja authored by the President of the Defence and Police Officers’ Wives Association (DEPOWA), Mrs Vickie Anwuli Irabor, titled, “The Journey of a Military Wife”.


Explaining why the privileges should be extended to first ladies, Mrs Buhari said, “I married my husband as the wife of a former president. I am going in a few days as a wife of a former president a second time.

“They should consider us as former first ladies. They should incorporate the first ladies, give us some privileges that we deserve as first ladies, not just the former presidents”.

Commending Mrs Vickie Irabor for the book, Mrs Buhari said, “It is a factual, emotional book that will help officers’ wives navigate their lives noting, “It underscores women as agents of stability for the nation as the nation battled insurgency and other security challenges.

“It’s a guide and reference for military wives, and need for better support for military widows” pointing out that “insights from the book will help readers appreciate the challenges of of the military family”.

In his remarks, Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State said Mrs Irabor’s book will promote national development even as he commended the military for containing insecurity in Imo state saying “The military has brought peace to our state”.

The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen Lucky Irabor, commended the DEPOWA President for writing about the experiences of military families.

He said the book will aid the military to formulate a policy document on the welfare of military families.

The Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Gambo who spoke on behalf of service chiefs commended the author for establishing a guide and reference for military wives.

He said the book launch was an opportunity to set aside a day to celebrate military women noting that a good military wife manages the home to enable the husband to focus on military duties.

Former Chiefs of Army Staff, Gen Alexander Ogomudia and Lt. Hen Tukur Buratai commended the author for her decision to write the book saying, “We are proud of her”.

In her remarks, Mrs Maryam Abacha while commending Mrs Irabor’s efforts called for greater cooperation amongst military families, recalling the good times she enjoyed as a military wife.

“I married my husband a long time ago. I married him as a civilian before he joined the army. We went through the war. He became commander, then GOC. We always pray to God for the soldiers and the nation.

“Those days in the 60s the mess was a friendly place where we learn a lot and exchange ideas. I pray that NAOWA, DEPOWA and others continue to thrive. I am very proud to be a soldier’s wife and very proud of the legacies we left”, she said.

Chairperson of the occasion, Sen Daisy Danjuma, wife of former Defence Minister and former Army Chief, Gen TY Danjuma, relieved the experience of military wives and experience of some military officers as well.

“We celebrated good times, and mourned when some were executed during coup d’etat,” she said.

“Army officers do not prevaricate when they want to marry. They give their wives room to develop, acquire more education. You know job and postings, you have to be strong”.

She however disclosed that “the country can never be on the right path until women are given their pride of place to play their role in the society and scheme of things”.

To Mrs Irabor, she said, “You have had a good career and risen to the top, you should now be thinking about retirement, you will now be like me”.

In her speech, Mrs Irabor said the military wife was an unsung heroine.
She noted that for many years, military wives were never celebrated in spite of being the ones operating behind the scene to support the career of their spouses in securing the nation.
