Recall, Benue Assembly Approves Removal of Chief Judge Over Alleged Abuse of Office.

The Benue State House of Assembly has approved the removal of the state’s Chief Judge, Hon. Justice Maurice Ikpambese, following allegations of financial impropriety and abuse of office.

The decision was reached during a plenary session where lawmakers deliberated on petitions against the Chief Judge, accusing him of misconduct that allegedly undermines the integrity of the judiciary.

In response, the Assembly directed that the next most senior judge be sworn in as the acting Chief Judge to ensure the smooth running of judicial affairs in the state pending the outcome of further investigations into the allegations.

The Federal Government has received the first batch of 2,000 tractors from Belarus, advancing President Bola Tinubu’s plan to modernize agriculture and boost food production in Nigeria.

The newly arrived heavy-duty equipment has been assembled in Abuja as part of a mechanization partnership between Nigeria and Belarus, formalized in September 2024.

Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Abubakar Kyari, hailed the development as a major step toward transforming the nation’s agricultural sector. He emphasized that the initiative will enhance productivity and strengthen food security.

Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to President Bola Tinubu, says President Tinubu himself acknowledged Nasir El-Rufai, former Kaduna State governor, role in installing him as President, however, Mallam is disappointed for being left out during the President’s ministerial appointment.

In August 2023, the Senate withheld the confirmation of El-Rufai as a ministerial nominee, citing security reports from the State Security Service for the action.

With the fallout of the ministerial appointment, El-Rufai has in recent times become critical of the Tinubu administration and the All Progressives Congress.

“After serving for eight years as governor of Kaduna state, I had my plans. The President publicly appealed to me put my plans on hold and through two months of negotiations, we finally agreed that he would nominate me as minister and there were certain conditions I attached to that. I think along the line, either the president changed his mind or something else.

“I think along the line, either the President changed his mind or something else. Please don’t believe the story that the National Assembly rejected me. The National Assembly had nothing to do with this, the President didn’t want me in his cabinet, he changed his mind. Whatever it is, I don’t care and I’ve moved on.

Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has dismissed claims that godfathers handpicked him to be remote-controlled as the number one citizen of the South-South state.
According to him, Almighty God only used certain persons to support his governorship ambition and get him into office.

“Can you even point out one godfather who was pushing me?” the governor queried when asked about his political lineage on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme.

“God was using people to help me, to support me, to get to where I am today.”
The governor also said Senate President Godswill Akpabio supported him as the leader of the ruling party in the South-South.

“Senate President is the leader from the South-South. Whatever he did was for the progress of Edo people; he wanted Edo to be repositioned.

“God was at work, Edo people spoke. We were hungry for a change. Even in the next 20 years, I will win. Do you know when I won my Senate (seat) there was a sitting senator? At that time, everything was working against us, but yet we won.

“I’m proud to tell you that there is not much opposition in Edo State – many of them know the truth, and many of them secretly even voted for me while they were still in PDP because of what they would get from Obaseki; they were not interested in (his government),” he said.

He also said Edo North Senator Adams Oshiomhole is not a dictator as some of his detractors have described him. Rather, the governor said, the federal lawmaker allows to handle the affairs of the state without interference.

“Even the man that they say is a dictator is not dictating anything; I am seeing a different Oshiomhole. Oshiomhole is giving me a free hand.
“Whenever I want to talk to him, he will say: ‘My son, I know how you feel, just do it your way’. But I will say: ‘Sir, I won’t do it in my way, please advise me,’ and he advises me, and most of the advice comes out to be something positive. You cannot be an island; you have to carry everybody along.”
Okpebholo, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, defeated Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Olumide Akpata of the Labour Party (LP), among others, to win the September 21, 2024 governorship election in Edo.

He was later sworn in as governor on November 12, 2024, after the eight-year reign of Godwin Obaseki of the PDP.

Okpebholo’s walk to the Dennis Osadebe Government House was not all rosy. Significantly, Okpebholo, who was formerly Edo Central Senator, leveraged some influence in his senatorial district and joined forces with Oshiomhole to defeat Ighodalo, the anointed candidate of the then-outgoing governor.

Okpebholo’s victory could also be attributed to his alliance with Dennis Idahosa, his then running mate who was a federal lawmaker, and Obaseki’s estranged former deputy, Philip Shaibu.

The APC lost power in the state in 2020 after Obaseki defected from the party to the PDP in the heat of an intra-party squabble and fallout with his predecessor, Oshiomhole.

After he was denied the APC governorship ticket, Obaseki joined the PDP and clinched the ticket to defeat APC’s Osagie Ize-Iyamu to seal his second term, which ended on November 12, 2024.

Obaseki campaigned strongly for Ighodalo, while Oshiomhole was a focal figure for Okpebholo’s campaign, attending rallies and interviews on behalf of the APC candidate.

A year after the tragic passing of Dr. Herbert Wigwe, the former Group Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings Plc, his 90-year-old father, Shyngle Wigwe has reportedly taken his first daughter Tochi Wigwe to court over his assets.

In October last year, reports surfaced that Pastor Shyngle Wigwe’s family had a concealed interest in the late banker’s children’s inheritance and allegedly attempted to disinherit them by altering Herbert Wigwe’s will. However, the family strongly denied these claims.

Subsequently, a caveat challenging the late banker’s will surfaced online. It was filed by Christian Chukwuka Wigwe, who claimed to be a cousin of the deceased, on behalf of the deceased’s father, Pastor Shyngle Wigwe.

THE Senate has summoned the National Security Adviser, NSA , Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, Director General of the Department of State Services, DSS, Adeola Ajayi; Director General of the National Intelligence Agency, NIA, Ambassador Mohammed Mohammed, and the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, DIA, Major General Emmanuel Undiandeye, over alleged sponsorship of Boko Haram by the United States Aid for International Development, USAID.

They are to appear before the lawmakers behind closed doors for an explanation of the allegation levelled against the US agency.

This is even as President Bola Tinubu and Senate President Godswill Akpabio met last night at the presidential villa to discuss the matter.

The Senate, however, raised serious concerns over the escalating insecurity in the country and the alarming allegations that certain international agencies might have been financing the Boko Haram insurgency in the country.

Allegation’s credibility

The meeting is also to assess the credibility of the allegations, discuss Nigeria’s broader security challenges and determine necessary policy responses.

However, no date has been fixed for the meeting with the heads of the nation’s intelligence agencies.
Recall that a United States congressman, Scott Perry, had a few days ago, alleged that USAID had been sponsoring activities of Boko Haram in Nigeria.

Though Perry’s allegation is already being investigated by the US congress, the Senate also at yesterday’s plenary, resolved to do a similar thing.

Resolution of the Senate was sequel to a motion sponsored by Senator Ali Ndume and co- sponsored by eight other senators.

The Senate after debate on the motion, resolved to summon the NSA , the Director-General of DSS, his counterparts in NIA and DIA behind closed doors on a day to be communicated to them.

In his presentation of the motion, Senator Ndume highlighted the reports circulating in the media, following a hearing by the U.S. Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency.

At the hearing, U.S. Congressman, Scott Perry, alleged that USAID had been unintentionally channelling approximately $697 million annually to terrorist groups across the world.

The former Senate leader, who expressed concern over the mystery surrounding Boko Haram’s sources of fund and its sustained ability to wreak havoc across Nigeria, particularly in the northeastern region, said: “It is known that over the years, the modus operandi of Boko Haram in Nigeria has been a source of great concern.

‘’Their source of funding and operations have been shrouded in mystery. It is known that the devastation caused by Boko Haram in the northeast region and other parts of the country, which includes the bombing of UN building in August 2021, and, of course, the bombing of the police headquarters here in Abuja, among other attacks, led to loss of life of Nigerians in thousands and unwanted destruction on properties which occasioned and caused internal displacement across the country.

“The federal government over the years, strives to put measures in place to curtail the activities of terrorist groups in the country by expending huge resources which seem not to have yielded much result, as the various activities of terrorists continue.

“The monumental devastation caused by Boko Haram in this country should be a matter of concern as it has dented the image of this country.”

Ndume also noted that Perry’s claim came shortly after the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, raised alarm that terrorist groups in the country were receiving sponsorship and training from international organizations.

Calls for investigation and security briefing

After his presentation, other senators echoed the need for an in-depth probe into the alleged international financing of terrorism in Nigeria.

Past efforts

On his part, Senator Kaka Shehu Lawan, noted that previous intelligence efforts to trace terrorist funding sources had not yielded the desired results.

“The intelligence agencies in Nigeria have in the past made numerous attempts to investigate the funding of these terrorists and bandits through various ways, but did not yield the much desired results,’’ he said.

In his contribution, Senator Abdul Ningi, called for a high-level security briefing, emphasising that such sensitive matters should not be debated openly in the Senate.

Primate Ndukauba, “In spite of the challenges that you are facing, we thank God that you have kept focus and you are executing the things that you needed to do as the Executive Governor of this State.

“Once God spoke, twice we have heard that excellency of authority and power belongs to God and it is in His hands to give to whoever, He wishes. So as the sovereign Lord, He has the power to raise and to remove, but it has pleased Him that you are there today.

“Though the situation may be challenging we have seen the enormous work that you are doing and we thank God for you and we will continue to pray for you”.

Recently, Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has insisted that his administration will not recognise the faction of the state House of Assembly led by Martin Amaewhule, despite mounting pressure from the Rivers National Assembly Caucus.

The caucus, during a solidarity visit to Amaewhule in Port Harcourt, urged Fubara to execute the Court of Appeal judgment that affirmed Amaewhule and 26 lawmakers as the only legitimate members of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

In a statement signed by Kingsley Chinda (Obio/Akpor Federal Constituency), Senator Barinada Mpigi (Rivers South-East), and Dumnamene Dekor (Khana/Gokana Federal Constituency), the lawmakers expressed dismay over what they called the governor’s “deliberate distortion of facts and court judgments.”

Recall that contrary to the narrative in some quarters, the Supreme Court verdict on the appeal by the Rivers State governor Siminalayi Fubara against Martin Amaewhule-led House of Assembly does not have anything to do with who is the authentic Speaker of the House.

Falana maintained that three members of the state House of Assembly can carry out legislative functions except when it has to do with impeachment of the governor.

He insisted that by decamping from the PDP to the APC, the other 27 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly lost their seats since the seats were declared vacant.

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has commended contractors working on the Apo and Idu axis projects for their dedication to meet the May completion deadline.

Wike made the commendation during an inspection of ongoing work on the construction of the service carriageway of the Inner Northern Expressway and Apo road.

While explaining the reasons for previous delay, he said the slow progress was primarily due to issues surrounding compensation and the resettlement of local communities affected by the projects.
