Report: Why ex defence minister Badaru really resigned

Fresh details have emerged suggesting that former Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, was pressured to resign not only over health concerns but also because of a long running rift with Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, and mounting criticism of his handling of insecurity.​ Badaru, who was appointed defence minister in August 2023 after serving two terms as Jigawa State governor, formally resigned on Monday after about two years in office, with the Presidency announcing that he stepped down due to “poor health”, while President Bola Tinubu immediately swore in former Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa (retd.), as his replacement.​ However, multiple senior defence ministry and military sources told Saturday Punch that a “frosty relationship” between Badaru and Matawalle had quietly destabilised parts of the ministry’s work for months, even though both men maintained a cordial […]

Israeli Military Sacks Several Generals Over October 7 Attack

The Israeli military has announced the dismissal of three generals and disciplinary measures against other senior officers after a probe into the failures that led to the deadly October 7, 2023, attack by Hamas. Those fired include key divisional commanders and the military intelligence chief, held personally responsible for failing to prevent the assault from Gaza—the deadliest in Israel’s history. While they had already resigned prior to the announcement, the dismissals follow public pressure and calls for investigation. Other heads of the navy and air force also faced disciplinary action, alongside moves against four more generals and additional senior staff. A committee of military experts found “long-standing systemic and organisational failure,” particularly in intelligence and decision-making, despite having high-quality information. The investigation concluded there were poor force deployment and leadership failures at all levels during the crisis.

Kano Lawmaker Quits NNPP Over Leadership Crisis

Sagir Ibrahim Koki, Deputy Chairman of the House Committee on Petroleum Resources (Midstream) and representative of Kano Municipal Federal Constituency, has resigned from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP). Koki announced his resignation via his official X account, attributing his exit to persistent national leadership crises within the party. In his letter to the Zaitawa Ward Chairperson, Koki cited his constitutional right to quit and referenced internal party conflicts as the main reason for stepping down. He said the ongoing leadership disputes made it “difficult, if not impossible,” to fulfill his duties to Kano Municipal residents. Koki thanked the party for the chance to serve and acknowledged the support and experience gained. His move follows the recent defection of Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi from NNPP to PDP, intensifying speculation over the party’s future.

 France’s Prime Minister Resigns After Just One Month

France has been plunged into a fresh political crisis after Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu resigned on Monday, just one month after his appointment. This marks the shortest tenure for a French prime minister in modern history. The resignation was triggered by a fierce backlash against his newly announced cabinet, particularly from the right-wing Republicans party, whose support was crucial in the divided parliament. The party's vice-president stated they would not offer the government a "final lap," leading to the collapse of Lecornu's administration. Lecornu had faced the difficult task of pushing an austerity budget through a hostile parliament, a challenge that had ousted his two immediate predecessors. His resignation deepens the political deadlock that has gripped France since the 2024 legislative elections resulted in a hung parliament. President Emmanuel Macron, who accepted the resignation, has not yet announced his next […]

Mogtari Urges EC Chair Jean Mensa to Resign Over Election Fallout.

Joyce Bawah Mogtari, special aide to Ghana’s President-Elect John Mahama, has called for the resignation of Jean Mensa, the chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC). Speaking in an interview, Mogtari criticized the EC’s handling of the 2024 election, particularly its delays in announcing official results, which she believes contributed to post-election violence. She accused the Commission of being too partisan and incompetent, urging a complete overhaul to restore integrity. According to Mogtari, reforms at the EC will be a priority in Mahama’s administration, with the goal of removing partisanship and ensuring free and fair elections in the future. She believes that Jean Mensa should step down to allow for these necessary changes.
