The President of the Northern Youths Association of Nigeria (NYAN), Ambassador Godiya T. Adams Bogoro, has commended Major-General A. E. Abubakar, the General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the 3 Division/Commander of Operation Safe Haven in Plateau State, for his unwavering efforts in restoring and maintaining peace in the region.
In a press release issued in Bauchi, Adams Bogoro praised Major General Abubakar’s remarkable performance since his redeployment as the GOC in Plateau State.
The NYAN President highlighted that the GOC organized a symposium for religious leaders in the state, recognizing their role in fostering peace.
Furthermore, Adams Bogoro pointed out the improved civilian-military relationship in Plateau State under Major General Abubakar’s leadership.
He also acknowledged the GOC’s significant humanitarian efforts, such as donating food items to victims of insurgency in Mangu and parts of Riyom following a recent attack.
The NYAN President expressed his pride in Major General Abubakar’s accomplishments and assured that the association would continue to collaborate with the military to maintain the relative peace achieved in the state.
The association recognised Major General Abubakar’s commitment to the welfare of the officers and men under his command, as he provides them with an enabling environment to operate.
The President recalled that the GOC took injured military officers to Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) for full medical treatment following a recent bandit attack, demonstrating his support and care for his troops.
Adams Bogoro encouraged all officers and men within the division to continue supporting the GOC’s efforts to ensure peaceful coexistence in Plateau State and the broader areas under the Division.
The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has warned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu against betrayal from some of his cabinet members and some governors within the ruling party.
In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele made it known that some of the governors in the ruling party are planning to work with former Vice President Abubakar Atiku towards the 2027 presidential election.
He made it known that some top members of the President’s cabinet will also work with the former Vice President.
He also said that Atiku is working with United States politicians.
Primate Ayodele said: “Atiku is planning seriously with the support of America to get victory. He will do a lot of things, and Tinubu shouldn’t be surprised that some governors he believes will work with Atiku secretly. Some members of his cabinet will work with Atiku secretly.”
Furthermore, Primate Ayodele revealed that INEC isn’t ready to conduct a credible election. But according to him, the date of the election isn’t good enough for a credible poll to hold in Nigeria.
Primate Ayodele said the election will be marred by violence and disappointment.
The cleric said that there will be consequences if the election is held on the said date.
He said: “INEC isn’t ready to do credible election, it can be marred with violence and disappointment. The day isn’t yet properly in order for an election that will bring a right president. There will be serious violence and inconclusive results in some states.
"The date isn’t too certain and there will be consequences if it is done. There will be fake ballot papers, and rigging will be the order of the day. INEC will also play their own part.”
Continuing, Primate Ayodele asked the President to do something urgently about the economic situation of the country because it will affect a lot of things.
“The economy hardship will fight harder, and the strategy to fight it isn’t sustainable. Tinubu cannot do this alone; his ministers ought to do something about it, and I see inflation will start rising significantly, and people will not be happy with this. Tinubu should quickly do something about it. They may feel it is not necessary but time will tell," he added.
Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Minister Nyesom Wike has taunted the 2027 presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, saying the former Anambra State governor can only win the coming election on social media.
Speaking at a stakeholders’ town hall meeting in Bonny Local Government Area of Rivers State on Saturday, Wike said he would vote for Obi if the election were to choose a social media president but insisted that the NDC candidate could not govern Nigeria.
“Truly speaking, I give Obi president of social media. If you were voting for the president of social media, I would vote for him,” he said.
Wike also described Obi as a stingy politician whom the country's economy cannot be entrusted to.
DAILY POST reports that the Minister, who is heading the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential campaign in Abuja and Rivers has always criticized Obi and other candidates.
He had also expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu would be re-elected in the January 16 election, dismissing the chances of the opposition.
