Tell your husband Nigerians are suffering, Emir of Kano tells First Lady

The Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, yesterday urged the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu to tell her husband, President Bola Tinubu that Nigerians are suffering due to the economic hardship in the country.

The monarch gave the message when he received Senator Tinubu, who paid him homage at the palace on her way to the commissioning of a building named after her at the Faculty of Law, Maryam Abacha American University of Nigeria, MAAUN, in Kano.

Noting that the challenges were inherited, Bayero, nevertheless urged President Tinubu to redouble efforts to ease the economic hardship and tackle insecurity in the country.

The Kano monarch spoke as Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau Jibrin, called on the 36 governors and chairmen of the 774 local government areas to as a matter of urgency release grains to the people as part of moves to cushion the pains Nigerians are going through.

Emir’s messageto Tinubu

Bayero said: “Although, we have several means of communicating to the government on our needs and requests, you are the surest way to tell the President the happenings in the country.

“We get information daily that essential commodities and cost of living are high and people are suffering, although it didn’t start with this government. We know the government is making efforts but it should redouble efforts to ease the suffering faced by the people.

“The issue of Insecurity is another serious problem we are facing. I know your government inherited it but something more seriously should be done to take care of the threats.

“We are receiving a series of messages from our people on talks about relocation of CBN and FAAN to Lagos, I think the government should revisit it.

“Do more enlightenment on this matter. I cannot tell the intentions of the government, we should be able to understand the relocation of the CBN and FAAN offices now to Lagos.”

My husband means well for Nigerians – Senator Tinubu

Earlier, Senator Oluremi Tinubu called on Nigerians to bear with her husband’s administration over the current economic challenges, expressing optimism that things would be better as the president means well for the country.

She appreciated the rousing welcome given to her by the Kano State Government, expressing delight about the cheers she received from the school children who assembled by the roadside waving at her en route to the Emir’s palace.

Release grains to people, Senate tells govs, LG chairmen

Meanwhile, Deputy Senate President Jibrin has hailed President Tinubu for ordering the release of 102,000 tonnes of rice, maize, millet and others to address the high cost of food in the country and urged governors and council chairmen to urgently release grains to the people.

The Federal Government through the Special Presidential Committee on Emergency Food Intervention, headed by the Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, on Thursday, ordered the release of 102,000 tonnes of grains to Nigerians.
Jibrin, in a statement by his Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Ismail Mudashir, said that the move would go a long way in cushioning the effects of the rising cost of commodities in the country.

Senator Jibrin, who disclosed that in the coming days he would distribute rice to 200,000 households as part of his contributions to address the challenge, said” “At this trying period, we should all support the Federal Government to address the challenges our country is currently facing. As we all know, the rising cost of food is a global phenomenon and our country is not unaffected by it.

“It is against this background, that I implore states and local governments to distribute food items to those in need across the country to cushion the effects of the rise in cost of food items.”

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.

READ ALSO:

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.
