 Politics › Glimpses Of Distort Between Gov Yusuf Abba And Kwankwaso Over LGA Elections, Nep by Ukpaka(op): 9:48pm On Sep 26, 2024 |
Glimpses Of Distort Between Gov Yusuf Abba And Kwankwaso Over LGA Elections, Nepotism https://247ureports.com/2024/09/glimpses-of-distort-between-gov-yusuf-abba-and-kwankwaso-over-lga-elections-nepotism/ - Rabiu Kwankwaso who had opted to adopt the process of selecting consensus candidates to determine persons that will participate as candidate in the council election, acted to discard the names of nominees provided to him by the Governor. “The Governor’s people did not make the list. Not even one person. Kwankwaso removed all of them and placed his own people,“ lamented a source who spoke to 247ureports.com. The source explained that both Kwankwaso and the Governor had turned the governance in Kano to a family affair. Only persons known to Kwankwaso are allowed to participate in the governance of Kano State at any level. Because of this, “only persons known to Kwankwaso are given positions and/or jobs, regardless of how much the person had contributed or sacrificed for the party.” The fallout from the removal of Governor Yusuf Abba’s list of nominees by Kwankwaso appear to have caused the political followers of Governor Yusuf Abba to mount pressure on the Governor to return their names to the lists of would-be candidates. Unsure of how to achieve such a fete against a political godfather that he “fears so much”, the Governor opted to escape Kano for a while on an unscheduled trip to Abuja. |

Enugwu-Ukwu Killings and Unending Land Disputes in Anambra: Why Govt Should Be Proactive Rather Than Reactive https://247ureports.com/2024/09/enugwu-ukwu-killings-and-unending-land-disputes-in-anambra-why-govt-and-security-agencies-should/ - The bloodshed, which occured exactly two weeks today, on Monday September 9, at the Agu Isioye boundary between Enugwu-Ukwu and Nawfia, threw the Enugwu-Ukwu Community into mourning mood, which was internationally observed on Thursday, September 19, in honour of the murdered persons. The incident serves not only as an unfortunate reminder of the dangers posed by unresolved land disputes between communities, but also underscored the urgent need for the state government and security agencies to always adopt a more proactive approach in addressing land boundary and any such disputes and cases before they escalate into violence. |
| Politics › Before Wike’s Fire Consumes Nigeria – By Luka Danboyi by Ukpaka(op): 9:50pm On Sep 20, 2024 |
Before Wike’s Fire Consumes Nigeria – By Luka Danboyi https://247ureports.com/2024/09/before-wikes-fire-consumes-nigeria-by-luka-danboyi/ - There is no question that the vast majority of Nigerians are inured to the shenanigans of a disoriented political elite that hardly reckons with the plight of the people. Only such a situation would produce the present economic nightmare afflicting a country so richly endowed that, less than fifty years ago, other countries were visiting to understudy its impressive developmental effort and borrow and to ‘seeds’ for their agricultural revolution. While other nations were evolving through that developmental trajectory, Nigeria was mired in destabilising politics, the type that Wike has foisted on Rivers State. Nigerians can only ignore the signals from the Garden City at the risk of a national implosion: when Rivers State sneezes, Nigeria catches cold. Ditto Kano and Lagos. A country is like a human being. What affects any part tends to affect every other part. That is the systems theory. That is why perceptive systems strive to prevent localized dysfunctions from spreading to other parts; that is why doctors strive to quarantine benign tumours before they become malignant and spread to other areas. |

Ex-Nigerian Senator Takes Over Kitchen Role in Washington DC (Video) https://247ureports.com/2024/09/ex-nigerian-senator-takes-over-kitchen-role-in-washington-dc-video/ - “I am squeezing bitter leaf for cooking bitter leaf soup — our Igbo delicacy. I’m squeezing it in Washington DC, to cook bitter leaf soup for my elder sister,” she joyfully said, while fielding question from the interviewer. Ekwunife’s act has been commended by many as a step towards upholding Igbo cultural and traditional values and a crystal demonstration that Ndị Igbo should not lose their traditional and cultural values, irrespective of the level of successes they attain in life. Sharing his thoughts on the video, a prominent Nigerian media personality and culture proponent from Anambra State, Dr. Uche Nworah, said there was everything to love about the heartwarming video of the Senator and her demonstration of a sense of strong family bond and respect for elder siblings, which, he said, are regrettably lacking among many Igbo families and households today. |

EXCLUSIVE: How Obaseki Plans to Rig Edo Election for Ighodalo, PDP https://247ureports.com/2024/09/exclusive-how-obaseki-plans-to-rig-edo-election-for-ighodalo-pdp/ - In alignment with police readiness, Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, also expressed INEC’s readiness for a hitch-free credible election next week Saturday for the state’s 2, 629, 025 registered voters. But Citizens have, in turn, urged INEC to allow the newly registered and transferred 184,438 voters to collect their PVCs until Friday, 20th September. The disbandment of ESSN, which atrocities this independent investigative journalist carefully detailed for the Federal Government (FG) in an exclusive report of 30th July, 2024, titled: Why Tinubu, Ribadu, Egbetokun and Bichi Must Disband ESSN and Watch-list Obaseki Immediately, is widely applauded by voters. It came as Edo government was concluding frantic plans to deploy the pump action-armed militia that it recently enlarged to over 11,000 personnel to instigate violence, superintend suppression of opposing voices, and supervise the rigging of next week’s election under the guise of safeguarding orderly vote cast. To a reasonable extent, therefore, the overwhelming threats of violence as a grand plan of rigging Edo election has reduced with Egbetokun’s proactive ban. |

He made this vow before us in front of Ojukwu tomb, but he couldn’t keep to the words and promise he made to the spirit of the Igbo leader“. “We all know Victor Umeh. He is not a good person. A very corrupt and selfish man. He recently collected N200million from the senate for constituency related projects. Of which, only about N30million was accounted for.

However, in a statement issued through the Spokesperson of the Opposition Coalition, Hon. Ikenga Ugochinyere, the Coalition condemned the attack, and said Nigeria is at a tipping moment and so much anger caused by economic challenges, hence those promoting political violence in Rivers State with the tacit support of some Federal institutions do not mean well for the President but rather want to use their action to bring so much crisis and disdain that can destabilise the federal government. |

Mrs. Okoye narrated: “On the 2nd of May 2023, I was at Faith Clinic at Ajao Estate. I had been admitted there days before for a caesarean section. On that, I had my baby girl via CS and three days later, I was discharged. The doctor who did the CS and saw me through my antenatal was Dr. Ejim Chibike. So, after the childbirth, I noticed that my legs had begun to swell up whereas they didn’t swell up during my pregnancy. “But after I had the surgery, I noticed my legs were swelling up which I complained about and they said it was normal, I was discharged and I went home. I had a routine appointment with Dr Ejim, a week check-up after I had given birth. I came to the hospital and I complained to him that my stomach was painful to touch, and my legs and whole body were in serious pain. |

Does his violent rhetoric reflect the official stance of your administration? The people of Northern Nigeria, and indeed the entire nation, deserve to know if such reckless statements have your endorsement or if they were the unfortunate ramblings of an unchecked Minister, in the person of Wike. ADF understands Nyesom Wike unpleasant demior towards the people of Northern Nigeria, judging by his past actions against the people of Northern Nigeria.

Sahara Reporters: Losing The War Of Facts – By Segun Dipe https://247ureports.com/2024/09/sahara-reporters-losing-the-war-of-facts-by-segun-dipe/ - In 2018, Sowore returned to Nigeria, floated his own political party, with the intention to run for president in the 2019 elections, but his campaign was drudgery, marked by controversies and challenges. He was arrested and detained on charges of treasonable felony. This perhaps further heat up his grudge against government and the people of Nigeria. He felt his people had not been fair to him not to have voted for him. He could not gather majority votes in any community and never can. He thus resorted to the _kaka-k’eku-ma-je-sese_ approach, turning himself to a bull in the china shop. He has since been battling his real and perceived enemies. In his mind the only way to get noticed and become accepted was to trouble every emerging government. Every Nigerian government must be pulled down until Sowore emerges.
