Edo Election Tribunal Dismisses AA’s Petition Against Gov Okpebholo

The Edo State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Abuja, on Wednesday, dismissed a case filed by the Action Alliance (AA) against the election of Governor Monday Okpebholo as governor. Justice Wilfred Kpochi-led three-member panel of Justices held that the petition filed by AA alongside its National Chairman, Adekunle Rufai Omoaje, lacked merit. The Tribunal determined that the petition dealt with pre-election matters and, therefore, it did not have the necessary authority to address matters raised. The petitioners claimed, among other allegations, that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had unlawfully excluded their legitimate candidate from the governorship election that took place on September 21, 2024. They alleged that contrary to various court judgements, the electoral body accepted and recognised a candidate that the party did not validly nominate for the exercise. According to the petitioners, INEC’s failure to publish […]

Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s Bold Move: Clearing Burkina Faso’s Debt and Reclaiming Natural Resources

In a landmark shift towards economic sovereignty, Burkina Faso, under the leadership of Captain Ibrahim Traoré, has achieved two monumental feats: the complete repayment of its $4.7 billion external debt and the nationalization of its gold mining industry. These actions mark a decisive break from neocolonial influences and aim to ensure that the nation's wealth directly benefits its citizens. Clearing the Debt: A Financial Milestone The Ministry of Finance announced that Burkina Faso has fully settled its external debt, a burden that has constrained the nation's development for decades. President Traoré attributed this achievement to strategic fiscal policies, increased revenues from resource exports, and renegotiated trade agreements with international creditors. This financial liberation paves the way for increased investment in critical sectors such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure.​ Nationalizing the Gold Mining Industry Gold mining, a significant contributor to Burkina […]

Zamfara CSO Gives Gov Lawal 14-day Ultimatum To Reinstate Sacked Workers

The Zamfara Civil Society Organisation (ZCSO) has issued a 14-day ultimatum to Governor Dauda Lawal, demanding the reinstatement of recently dismissed workers. The group condemned the mass dismissal of workers as unjust and detrimental to civil service in the state. In a statement on Monday, ZCSO’s Secretary, Kabiru Ahmad Bukuyum, criticised the governor’s decision, arguing that the grounds for the dismissals were insufficient. The workers were reportedly sacked for absenteeism, but Bukuyum asserted that their absence was due to unpaid salaries, not negligence. “The governor’s justification for these suspensions is baseless and unfair. Many of these workers could not report to work because they had not been paid on time. Despite receiving substantial federal allocations, the state government continues to delay salary payments,” Bukuyum said. https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?gdpr=0&us_privacy=1---&gpp_sid=-1&client=ca-pub-7274163950528935&output=html&h=280&adk=3995832516&adf=3167537780&pi=t.aa~a.2067693828~i.10~rp.4&w=848&abgtt=6&fwrn=4&fwrnh=100&lmt=1743083967&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=8204113141&ad_type=text_image&format=848x280&url=https%3A%2F%2Fleadership.ng%2Fzamfara-cso-gives-gov-lawal-14-day-ultimatum-to-reinstate-sacked-workers%2F%3Futm_source%3Ddlvr.it%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook%26fbclid%3DIwY2xjawJSNl9leHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHQKEyTwOMVqDp1Lrxe0mrn9rgMT86MEoyMuSY55oJK9tEkqxlCPEJKz1AA_aem_KvmwqPl46zdOaySV5Z9c2w&fwr=0&pra=3&rh=200&rw=847&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&wgl=1&fa=27&uach=WyJXaW5kb3dzIiwiMTAuMC4wIiwieDg2IiwiIiwiMTM0LjAuNjk5OC4xNzciLG51bGwsMCxudWxsLCI2NCIsW1siQ2hyb21pdW0iLCIxMzQuMC42OTk4LjE3NyJdLFsiTm90OkEtQnJhbmQiLCIyNC4wLjAuMCJdLFsiR29vZ2xlIENocm9tZSIsIjEzNC4wLjY5OTguMTc3Il1dLDBd&dt=1743083943878&bpp=149&bdt=402121&idt=149&shv=r20250324&mjsv=m202503240101&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3D824c583121367758%3AT%3D1740291607%3ART%3D1743083588%3AS%3DALNI_MZEGkSVVBKhdm1K_zRrb-6Pia46iA&gpic=UID%3D00000ff7aa5f3c9b%3AT%3D1740291607%3ART%3D1743083588%3AS%3DALNI_MZ9Y3qNuKVYCuOxywwAN_Kak7OtXQ&eo_id_str=ID%3D9ed34ee687d5af3b%3AT%3D1740291607%3ART%3D1743083588%3AS%3DAA-AfjZyu4z2YzMjEnJR7N-cFpuu&prev_fmts=0x0%2C1351x641&nras=3&correlator=7885574927248&frm=20&pv=1&u_tz=60&u_his=2&u_h=768&u_w=1366&u_ah=728&u_aw=1366&u_cd=24&u_sd=1&dmc=8&adx=106&ady=1981&biw=1351&bih=641&scr_x=0&scr_y=400&eid=95353929%2C95356498%2C95356506%2C95355300&oid=2&pvsid=3791873595172642&tmod=1513739664&uas=1&nvt=3&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fl.facebook.com%2F&fc=1408&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1366%2C0%2C1366%2C728%2C1366%2C641&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&cms=2&fu=128&bc=31&bz=1&td=1&tdf=2&psd=W251bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLDNd&nt=1&pgls=CAEQBg..&ifi=3&uci=a!3&btvi=1&fsb=1&dtd=23469 He warned that if the government failed to act within 14 days, civil society […]
