DRAMA AS NEW EDO GOVERNOR STRUGGLES TO PRONOUNCE BUDGET AMOUNT AT STATE ASSEMBLY

Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, was captured in a video struggling to pronounce the figure for the state’s 2025 budget.

Okpebholo was sworn-in as governor in November after winning the off-cycle election in October.

The governor presented an estimated N605 billion budget for the 2025 fiscal year at the Edo State House of Assembly.

The budget, titled “Budget of Renewed Hope for a Rising Edo,” reflects a 25 percent increase over the 2024 budget. While unveiling the Appropriation Bill, the governor noticeably stuttered as he tried to pronounce the N605 billion mark. Despite the hiccup, he pressed on with his presentation.

In his address, Okpebholo outlined that 37 percent of the total budget, amounting to N223 billion, would be allocated to recurrent expenditure. The remaining N381 billion (63 percent) would go toward capital projects.

The governor emphasized that the budget is a product of extensive consultations and embodies his administration’s commitment to achieving its five-point agenda of Security, Infrastructural Development, Healthcare, Food Sufficiency and Education.

    BOKO HARAM KILLS 40 FARMERS IN BORNO, DOZENS MISSING

    BOKO HARAM KILLS 40 FARMERS IN BORNO, DOZENS MISSING Suspected Boko Haram terrorists have reportedly killed at least 40 farmers in Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State. It was gathered that the attack which happened around 4:30pm on Sunday in a farming community, Kayakura village, in Doron Baga ward, also left dozens of farmers missing. This is coming barely 24 hours after two people were killed and a church was set ablaze in a similar attack on Chibok community, southern part of the state. A local source said members of the deadly group invaded the villages in large numbers and started shooting sporadically. “As we speak, many people are missing and they killed more than 40 farmers, predominantly those who escaped the attack in Gwoza local government area,” he said. However, a security source in the area gave the number of people killed as 30. “Thirty people lost their lives during the attack on the farmers in the Doron Baga ward,” the source said. Efforts to speak to the state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Kenneth Daso, proved abortive as his telephone line was not reachable as of press time.

    FUBARA WINS AS COURT NULLIFIES RIVERS PDP CONGRESSES

    FUBARA WINS AS COURT NULLIFIES RIVERS PDP CONGRESSES Justice Stephen Jumbo of the Rivers State High Court has dealt a significant blow to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by Nyesom Wike, nullifying the Ward, Local Government Area, and State party congresses held in 2024. This ruling is a major setback for the party, which has been embroiled in internal conflicts and power struggles. FCT Minister, Nyesom WikeThe court’s decision is a result of a dispute over the legitimacy of the congresses, which were conducted by the Wike-led faction of the party. The nullification of these congresses raises questions about the validity of the party’s leadership structure and the potential implications for future elections. This development is not isolated, as the Rivers State High Court had previously invalidated the Local Government and State Congresses conducted by the Tony Okocha-led All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State. The APC congresses were held despite a court order, leading to the inauguration of new executives. The nullification of the PDP congresses in Rivers State is likely to have far-reaching consequences for the party and its leadership. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the party will respond to this ruling and what implications it will have for future elections.
