IPOB rejects new Ministry of Livestock Development
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has rejected the proposed Ministry of Livestock and Development created by the Federal Government, claiming that it is a ploy to establish RUGA in the Southeast.
The pro-Biafra group in a statement issued at the weekend by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, also cautioned governors of the Southeast against allocating lands in their states for grazing of livestock by Miyetti Allah.
The statement reads in part: “No governor in Biafra land should mortgage the safety and security of Biafrans by allocating land to the terrorists for RUGA in disguise.
“The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is asking the Southern and Middle Belt governors to reject the demand for grazing reserves by the Fulani Miyetti Allah terrorist organization in Nigeria.
“Fulanis claim to be Nigerians. Why would they want grazing reserves from other states instead of utilizing their own ancestral land for their grazing reserves. Any governor in Nigeria that yields to this selfish demands of these terrorists has mortgaged the future of their generations to come.
“That governor will be mortgaging the future of their children to mass slaughter and mass burial and that governor must be receiving consequences of his or her actions. Any state or clan that allocates land to the Fulanis today for whatever reason have willfully sold his state to invasion and displacement.
“Both the governor and his future generations will not live to tell the story of yesterday by the time the terrorists will launch attacks to take over their state.

“People must learn from history. History always repeats itself. According to history, the indigenous Hausas welcomed and hosted the nomadic Fulanis from Futa Jelon in the 18th Century. Today, the indigenous Hausas have been reduced to slaves in their own land.
“In today’s Northern Nigeria, Fulanis have displaced, killed, took over, and renamed many Hausa communities. Almost all the Northern opinion leaders, political leaders, traditional rulers, and religious leaders by Fulanis and Hausas have no other place to call their place.
“The same deception and voodoo the Fulanis used on the Hausas in the 18th Century is what they are using on the political elite in the rest of Nigeria and if such voodoo works on other Nigerians it won’t work on Biafrans as long as IPOB-ESN exists.
“If the indigenous people in Nigeria think that the political class have all the powers to stop the marauding Fulanis and their fulanization agenda, then the people must be out of their minds.
“As we bring the attention of the governors and politicians in the South to the Fulanis’ dangerous moves to grab people’s land, the people themselves must rise up to defend their ancestral lands or be doomed. As for us, IPOB, the Fulanis knew that Biafra land is a no-go area for their deception and voodoo.
“We are certain that governors in the Biafra land will not mortgage the future of our generations to come. But if they dare create any grazing reserves for Fulanis, they would have drawn the battle line with IPOB/ESN. We are confident that they will never allow Fulanis to occupy or be in possession of an inch of Biafra land.
“President Ahmed Bola Tinubu, who created the Livestock Ministry for Fulanis, should allocate grazing reserves to them. The Livestock Ministry is a code name for RUGA. No RUGA in any format will be tolerated in the Eastern Region.
“President Tinubu can allocate Sambisa Forest as a grazing reserve to the Miyetti Allah. That massive forest is more than enough grazing reserve and settlement for them.
“IPOB is reminding the Nigerian government and Miyetti Allah that Biafrans don’t have sufficient land for development and agriculture, let alone for grazing reserves. IPOB/ESN operatives have a duty to monitor Biafran forests and bushes. They are to dislodge any Fulani terrorist and destroy any Fulani settlement found in the bush.
“Fulanis are free to export their cows to our territory by cargo and sell to them to their customers and after which they go back to their base. Those of them who want to reside in Biafra land should rent a house and live peacefully like other citizens. But we will never tolerate any terrorist occupying any inch of our forest for whatever reason.”

Edo Gov Okpebholo freezes govt accounts, reverses ministry’s name
Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has directed the immediate freezing of all state-owned bank accounts.
In a statement issued on Thursday by his Chief Press Secretary, Fred Itua, the governor stated that the accounts would remain frozen until further notice.
He instructed commercial banks, ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) to comply with the order immediately or face severe consequences.
The statement reads: “All state bank accounts with commercial banks have been frozen. Commercial banks must comply with this order and ensure that not a single naira is withdrawn from government coffers until further notice.

“Heads of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies must ensure full compliance without delay.
“Following necessary investigations and reconciliations, the governor will take appropriate action and decide on the way forward. For now, this order remains in effect.”
Okpebholo also directed relevant agencies to revert the name of the Ministry of Roads and Bridges to its previous title, the Ministry of Works, a change made during the Godwin Obaseki administration.
“It is odd to name a government institution the Ministry of Roads and Bridges, especially when not a single bridge was built by the previous administration — not even a pedestrian bridge.
“In the coming days, we will examine further actions taken by the previous administration and make decisions that serve the best interests of the state,” the statement added.

Israel-Palestinian conflict: Two-state solution is a deception, says Gumi
Israel-Palestinian conflict: Two-state solution is a deception, says Gumi
Prominent Islamic scholar Dr. Ahmad Mahmud Gumi has criticized the widely discussed two-state solution for the Israel-Palestine conflict, calling it a “deception.”
His remarks followed a recent summit of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Riyadh, where President Bola Tinubu and other leaders condemned Israel’s actions in Gaza and urged an end to hostilities.
In an interview with Daily Trust at his Kaduna residence, Gumi argued, “This Two-State Solution is a deception. No Israeli will allow a Palestinian to survive, and Palestinians will never allow Israel to survive.

The only solution is to dissolve the two states and create a democratically electable region.”
Gumi commended the OIC’s support for Palestine, noting that Muslims and Arabs worldwide increasingly see the treatment of Palestinians as “genocide” and accuse Israel of human rights abuses.
He also called for a return to the pre-1948 structure, where Palestinians, Jews, and Christians lived together, suggesting a single, inclusive state that allows peaceful coexistence.
“When I hear people talking about Two-State Solutions, I know they are just deceiving themselves,” Gumi added, advocating for a unified region where people of all faiths can live together, similar to the multi-faith coexistence seen in countries like the United States.

Court sacks Ondo LP candidate, two days to governorship poll
The Labour Party candidature of Olusola Ebiseni for the upcoming gubernatorial election in Ondo State has been nullified.
The nullification follows the sacking of Ebiseni by the Court of Appeal, sitting in Abuja, on Wednesday.
The governorship election of the southwest State will hold on Saturday, 16 November 2024.
The judgement disqualifying Ebiseni was unanimously delivered by the three members of the panel and read out by the chairman of the panel, Justice Adebukola Banjoko.
The judgment granted the prayer of the Labour Party who preferred the case against Ebiseni.

Justice Banjoko held that, “the appeal marked CA/ABJ/CV/1172/2024 brought by the Labour Party against Chief Olusola Ebiseni and two others is allowed.”
Justice Banjoko further stated that the Certified True Copy of the judgment would be provided to the parties involved in the appeal as soon as possible for their review.
Recall that Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in Abuja had ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to accept and recognize Olusola Ebiseni and Ezekiel Awude as the Labour Party’s governorship and deputy governorship candidates for the November 16 Ondo State governorship elections.
Justice Nwite confirmed that the second primary election conducted by the Labour Party, which resulted in Ebiseni and Awude being selected as candidates, was valid and should be upheld by INEC.
However, the appellate court has now overturned the judgment of the trial court’s judgment.
