The National Patriotic Front (NPF) has commended the Sole Administrator of Rivers State, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (retd.), for what it described as bold and transformative reforms that have stabilised the state under emergency rule. In a weekend statement signed by its President, Marcus Dakas, the group said Ibas had restored calm, strengthened institutions, and initiated key projects that are reshaping Rivers’ development path. “Many feared emergency rule would deepen instability, but Admiral Ibas has turned it into a season of renewal. His interventions in security, infrastructure, and preparations for democratic transition deserve recognition from all Nigerians,” Dakas said.

Gov Mbah: Why We’re Honouring Football Legend Christian Chukwu

Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has described the late football legend, Christian Chukwu, as a pioneer who laid the foundation for the growth of Nigerian football and a symbol of national unity. Speaking at a novelty match between Ex-Rangers and Enugu All Stars at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, the governor—represented by the Commissioner for Labour and Employment, Dr. Felix Nnamani—said Chukwu’s legacy would continue to be celebrated in Enugu and across the nation. “Chukwu and his teammates achieved so much for Nigeria at a time when footballers received little or no reward. Unlike today’s players who command huge transfer fees, they sacrificed for the country without financial gain. Yet, they gave us honour and laid the foundation for modern football in Nigeria,” he said. The governor also recalled how Enugu Rangers, under Chukwu’s leadership, played a key role in […]

IPOB Lawyer: Federal Government Has No Legal Basis to Detain Nnamdi Kanu

A member of the legal team representing Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has insisted that the Federal Government lacks any legal justification for his continued detention. Barrister Onyedikachi Ifedi, in a strongly worded statement on Sunday, dismissed recent media publications describing IPOB’s push for Kanu’s acquittal as “political theatre,” calling them “government-sponsored propaganda.” He argued that Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021 amounted to extraordinary rendition, a process prohibited under both Nigerian and international law. Citing the Court of Appeal’s October 2022 judgment, Ifedi noted that the court had declared Kanu’s rendition unlawful and struck out the charges. He criticized the Supreme Court’s December 2023 ruling, which reinstated the case, as a “violation of settled legal principles.” The lawyer further contended that the government is prosecuting Kanu under the Terrorism Prevention (Amendment) Act of […]

APC’s Kaduna By-election Victory Shows Trust in Gov Sani’s Leadership – Commissioner

Kaduna State Commissioner of Information-designate, Ahmed Maiyaki, has said the All Progressives Congress’ (APC) victory in the Chikun/Kajuru Federal Constituency by-election reflects the people’s confidence in Governor Uba Sani’s inclusive and people-focused leadership. Speaking to journalists in Kaduna on Sunday after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced the results, Maiyaki described the win as both “historic and symbolic,” breaking the trend in a constituency that had long resisted the APC. INEC declared the APC winner with 34,580 votes, ahead of the Peoples Democratic Party (11,491 votes), the African Democratic Congress (3,477 votes), and the Social Democratic Party (142 votes). Maiyaki attributed the party’s landslide win to Governor Sani’s grassroots-driven policies, citing achievements in infrastructure, healthcare, education reforms, and security. He added that the outcome shows Kaduna residents prefer “progressive leadership over recycled promises.” He further noted that with this […]

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Edo State Council has rejected the five-man caretaker committee reportedly set up by the national president of the NLC, Comrade Joe Ajaero, in collaboration with former Edo NLC chairman, Odion Olaye.
