WE STAND WITH DANGOTE – NORTHERN ELDERS TELL FG TO STOP ATTACKING HIM

The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has warned government officials and other Nigerians against attacking the Dangote Refinery and its Chairman, Aliko Dangote, to desist from such actions.

The northern elders issued the warning in a statement signed by Convener Professor Ango Abdullahi.

The forum condemned the attempts to demarket the refinery, which NEF said is capable of saving the country from continued importation of refined petroleum products.

The statement said, “The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) is watching with sustained interest the unfolding drama being orchestrated by some powerful vested interests to frustrate the good example set by the nation’s leading investor and foremost African entrepreneur, Alh. Aliko Dangote, who has defied all formidable odds to build a privately-owned world-class, ultramodern petroleum refinery in Nigeria.

“Dangote refinery, which is reputed to be the biggest single-train refinery in the world, is a technological marvel that showcases the most advanced innovation in the trade field and is also a symbol of our national pride.

“This remarkable business feat, which ordinarily should instantly earn him national encomiums and accolades, has paradoxically ignited the malicious fury of enemies of our dear country, who are strategically located in the oil and gas sector of the economy.

“Nigeria became the object of global ridicule, as we are the only OPEC member nation without refining capability and heavily dependent on mass importation of oil and other derivatives,” the statement said

The forum noted that Nigerians, who bear the brunt of escalating fuel prices and shortages, will no longer allow a few individuals to hold the economy hostage.

They commended the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Mr. Heineken Lokpobri, for his timely action to address the situation.The forum stated its determination to stand with Aliko Dangote in defense of the refinery.

    2027: I’VE NO PROBLEM DEPUTIZING PETER OBI, WE’RE READY FOR TALKS – KWANKWASO The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, in the 2023 elections, Rabiu Kwankwaso has hinted at the possibility of him deputizing his Labour Party counterpart in the last election, Peter Obi. In a video clip currently trending on X microblogging platform, the former governor of Kano State who spoke on Hausa, said he would be willing to deputize Obi “if certain conditions are met”. Kwankwaso, who claimed that he is politically bigger than Obi, said they are willing to engage in meaningful discussions with the LP leader to establish an agreement ahead of the 2027 elections. He said, “I’m bigger than Peter Obi politically, I’m his elder brother, I’m a PhD holder, I performed better than him when I was a governor of my state. I’ve no problem with deputizing Peter Obi, but only if certain conditions are met. “We are willing to engage in discussions, provided that trust is established”. In the 2023 election, Peter Obi won the majority of votes in 11 states and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja. The former Anambra governor came third with about 6,101,533 votes. On the other hand, Kwankwaso won the election in 38 of the 44 local government areas in Kano State, garnering a total of 1,496,687 votes in the elections.

    I REPORTED MY RAPE CASE TO SUPERIOR OFFICERS BUT THEY DISREGARD IT DUE ACCUSED PERSON’S RANK – DISCHARGED FEMALE SOLDIER

    I REPORTED MY RAPE CASE TO SUPERIOR OFFICERS BUT THEY DISREGARD IT DUE TO ACCUSED PERSON’S RANK – DISCHARGED FEMALE SOLDIER A former female soldier, Private Ruth Ogunleye, who was relieved from service after accusing a senior officer, Colonel I.B. Abdulkareem, of sexual harassment, has made further revelations about how superiors in the army refused to listen to her when she first reported her rape case. The discharged soldier disclosed this when she featured on an AIT programme monitored by SaharaReporters on Wednesday evening. During the interview, she levelled allegations against General Christopher Gwabin Musa, the current Chief of Defence Staff, and other superior officers, claiming they deliberately avoided thoroughly investigating her rape case due to the accused person’s seniority during her service. She said: “I sought intervention from people like General C. G. Musa, the current Chief of Defence Staff. I told him. I told so many officers. I sought redress but nothing was done because he is my senior, and nobody was ready to give me a listening ear. “I exhausted all the procedures; I sought redress using Section 179 of the Armed Forces Act and nothing was done. He would inject (me) and throw me inside a psychiatric hospital.” She accused Abdulkareem of making repeated attempts to assault her, administering injections against her will, forcibly removing her from her residence, and confining her to a psychiatric hospital for several months after she rejected his sexual advances. However, the Director of Army Public Relations, Major General Onyema Nwachukwu, said Ogunleye’s allegations lacked merit. The army spokesperson said that after an exhaustive review of the facts, testimonies, and evidence presented, it was determined that Abdulkareem did not commit the offences alleged by Ogunleye. Nwachukwu stated that medical reports following an evaluation at the National Hospital in Abuja indicated that Ogunleye was suffering from a condition that rendered her medically vulnerable.
