MASKED MEN DISRUPT LABOUR PARTY MEETING IN ABIA

A tense situation unfolded in Aba as masked men, suspected to be police officers, disrupted a meeting of the Labour Party (LP) on Saturday.

The incident occurred when over 20 masked individuals stormed the venue, demanding silence from attendees.

In a dramatic turn of events, five of the masked men approached the high table, confronting the secretary of the Labour Party’s local government election committee, Prince G.O. Ndubueze, and informed him of his arrest.

However, party members quickly rallied against the masked men, insisting they present a warrant for Ndubueze’s arrest.

In protest of the attempted arrest, more than 500 Labour Party members marched alongside Ndubueze to the Aba Area Police Command, demanding accountability from the authorities.

Speeaking after the incident, Ndubueze expressed defiance against what he termed intimidation from Governor Alex Otti.

He accused the governor of trying to impose candidates for the chairmanship and councillorship positions in the upcoming local government elections scheduled for November 2.

Ndubueze said, “I didnt get any warrant of arrest from anywhere. I don’t even know whether they are policemen, but as law abiding citizen, I’m going with the police. But I will never bow to intimidation from Gov. Alex Otti. We won’t allow him to impose candidates in this local government election.

“This is a governor who came to power through a legitimate election, but wants to impose candidates. The Labour Party in Abia state won’t tolerate imposition.”

    IT IS NOT A CRIMINAL OFFENCE IF FUBARA IS IMPEACHED – WIKE, GIVES CONDITION FOR PEACE IN RIVERS

    IT IS NOT A CRIMINAL OFFENCE IF FUBARA IS IMPEACHED – WIKE, GIVES CONDITION FOR PEACE IN RIVERS Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, has said it is not “a criminal offence” if the governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara is impeached. Speaking during a media chat on Wednesday, Wike said Fubara should be impeached if he has done what warrants impeachment. He also expressed frustration over the political crisis in Rivers State, emphasising the importance of upholding the rule of law. The minister also criticised those in the governor’s inner circle. “Politics is not play,” Wike said. “If he has done something to be impeached, let them impeach him. It’s not a criminal offence.” This comes after the Rivers Assembly led by the Speaker, Martin Amaewhule, gave Fubara a 48-hour ultimatum to represent the 2025 budget. Amaewhule’s ultimatum came after the Supreme Court, in a judgement delivered by Justice Emmanuel Akomaye Agim, ordered the 27 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly to resume functions immediately. Meanwhile, Wike said that for peace to return in the state, the governor must do the right thing. According to him, Fubara must represent the 2025 budget to the State Assembly led by Martin Amaewhule, and also resubmit the names of his commissioners for clearance. He said that there is no way Fubara will have peace without doing the right thing. “What is peace? What is important is, let the right thing be done. When the right things are done, there will be peace. “But if the right thing is not done, how would you say you want peace? Peace is predicated on doing the right thing. “Go and re-present the budget, go and submit the list of the commissioners. You cannot do illegality,” Wike said. Speaking with journalists in Abuja, Wike narrated how he picked Governor Siminalayi Fubara for the position despite some politicians of Ijaw extraction kicking against the decision. He also said that Ijaws are minority in Rivers State and the Niger Delta, and stand no chance of becoming governors in any other state in the region apart from Bayelsa.

    SDP NATIONAL SECRETARY, OLU AGUNLOYE, PETITIONS IGP OVER ‘PLOT’ TO REMOVE HIM

    SDP NATIONAL SECRETARY, OLU AGUNLOYE , PETITIONS IGP OVER ‘PLOT’ TO REMOVE HIM Olu Agunloye, the national secretary of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), has petitioned Kayode Egbetokun, the inspector-general of police, over an alleged plot to force him to resign, TheCable can report. Sources told TheCable that members of the SDP loyal to Nasir el-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna state who just joined the party, are pushing for Agunloye’s resignation. Agunloye confirmed filing the petition when contacted by TheCable on Tuesday. “I petitioned the IG about a person who forged letterhead paper and is threatening me to resign,” Agunloye said. On Monday, el-Rufai resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and joined the SDP after months of strategic meetings with opposition party leaders. El-Rufai, who served as governor of Kaduna state from 2015 to 2023, has been critical of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, particularly since the senate declined to confirm him as minister. In February, el-Rufai said Nigerians should not believe the narrative that the national assembly rejected him as a ministerial nominee, noting that Tinubu did not want him in his cabinet. In a statement announcing his resignation from the APC, el-Rufai said he would work to unite opposition leaders against the APC. “Without prejudice to this decision, as a member of the SDP, I will focus on engaging with and persuading other opposition leaders and parties to join us and congregate under a unified democratic platform to challenge the APC in all elections and bye-elections between now and 2027 by the Grace of God,” he said. “I, therefore, call on all our supporters and other persons concerned about our country’s future to join us in the SDP in the journey towards making Nigeria flourish as a beacon of pride for Africans and the Black Race.” On Tuesday, Adewole Adebayo, the SDP presidential candidate in the 2023 election, celebrated el-Rufai’s defection to the party, describing the former Kaduna governor as an “asset with a verifiable and measurable track record of public performance”.
