Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has vowed to ensure that Russian troops have no single safe location on Ukrainian soil amid the ongoing war.
Zelenskyy said Ukrainian soldiers are improving in the war against Russia as soldiers are destroying their enemy’s infantry and armoured vehicles.
The president spoke in a statement he posted on his X page.
According to Zelenskyy: “Our forces continue to counter Russian attacks in the Kharkiv region. This direction has been reinforced, particularly in Vovchansk and border areas in general.
“Brigadier General Mykhailo Drapatyi is in charge of this direction and is currently on the ground. He is being provided with all of the necessary firepower and forces.
“Our results are improving. We are destroying the enemy’s infantry and armoured vehicles. I appreciate all of our warriors who strictly adhere to orders, hold their positions, and make every effort to stabilize the situation.
“At the same time, we can clearly see how the enemy acts and their intent to stretch our forces thin. Clearly, we do not divert the necessary assistance and provision from Donetsk directions, particularly Kramatorsk and Pokrovsk directions.
“We remain vigilant in the Kupyansk direction as well. We can also see enemy activity in the Sumy and Chernihiv regions, including subversion groups and shelling. We respond properly with fire.
“Our task is crystal clear: to thwart Russia’s attempt to expand the war. It is up to everyone in positions from Chernihiv to Vovchansk, Kharkiv to Donetsk, to fulfil it.
“The occupiers must not have a single safe location on Ukrainian soil. And in the Ukrainian skies.
“We must do everything possible to ensure that the occupier loses, not the Ukrainians.”

Rivers Assembly Crisis: Blame Wike For Your Woes, PDP Youths Tell Martins, Ex-Members
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) National Solidarity Vanguard has blamed former Governor Nyesom Wike for the ‘monumental loss’ of about 25 Rivers State Assembly seats.
The PDP group accused the FCT Minister of using Hon. Amaewhule Martins and other ex-PDP lawmakers as cannon fodder in his ill-advised fight with his successor, Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
In December, the assembly members loyal to the immediate past governor defected to the All Progressives Congress in the wake of the political impasse involving him and Governor Fubara.
Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday in Abuja, Hon. Usman Saidu Calculus, the Executive Director of the PDP National Solidarity Vanguard described Wike as a saboteur working against the party.
Calculus said the former governor is blinded by his financial muscle and doesn’t understand the true essence of leadership
“Wike, once a prominent member of our party played a pivotal role in this monumental loss. His actions have cost us dearly, and we cannot remain silent,” the statement said.
“To the extent that he has weakened the party for the APC, we can no longer consider him a member of our party. He is already enjoying the 30 pieces of silver he sold the PDP for.
“We must express our anger, disappointment, and resolve to protect the integrity of the PDP. But why did this happen? Why did lawmakers who were elected on our platform abandon their mandates, and throw away twenty-five parliamentary seats in one day?
“The answer lies in the unchecked ambition of one man—Nyesom Wike. His financial muscle, while impressive, blinded him to the true essence of leadership. Money alone cannot sustain a political movement; it takes wisdom, humility, and a genuine commitment to the people. Only such arrogance that makes him continue to parade himself as a chieftain of the PDP even when his habitual treachery is glaring for all to see.
“Femi Falana (SAN), the legal luminary whose insights we respect, has rightly pointed out that political parties are not mere vehicles for personal gain. They are institutions that serve the collective interest of the citizens. Wike’s actions, driven by hubris and a disregard for due process, have undermined our party’s cohesion and unity. ”
The PDP group, therefore, called on the party leadership to take decisive action and expel Wike from the party.
“Let this be a stern message to all who would put their ambitions above the party’s well-being and future. We cannot afford to lose more lawmakers or members in other states, especially when the stakes are now so high ahead of the next general elections,” the statement added.
“Our solidarity vanguard stands firm. We will not waver in our
commitment to the PDP’s principles. Let us rally together, rebuild our ranks, and emerge stronger. Our party deserves leaders who uphold its values, not those who undermine them.”
Minister petitions IGP over Niger Speaker’s plans to marry off 100 orphan girls
The Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, has formally reached out to the Inspector General of Police, IGP and filed a request for a legal order to prevent Speaker Abdulmalik Sarkindaji of the Niger State Assembly from overseeing the marriage of 100 orphaned girls.
The speaker had revealed his intention to provide marriage support for the orphaned girls who tragically lost their parents in bandit attacks in the Mariga local government area, as part of his constituency project, scheduled for May 24th.
During a press conference in Abuja, Kennedy-Ohanenye expressed her disapproval of the plans, highlighting that a thorough investigation has been initiated into the matter.
She said, “I want to let the honourable speaker of the house in Niger state know that this is totally unacceptable by the Federal Minister of Women Affairs and by the government.
“Because there is something called the Child’s Rights Act and I said it from the onset, that it is no more business as usual.
“These children must be considered, their future must be considered, the future of the children to come out of their marriage must be considered.
“So I have gone to court. I have written him a letter and written a petition to the IG of Police.
”And I have filed for an injunction to stop him from whatever he is planning to do on the 24th, until a thorough investigation is carried out on those girls, find out whether they gave their consent, their ages, find out the people marrying them,”

My father never campaigned for me, Gov Sani is my mentor – El-Rufai’s son
House of Representatives member for Kaduna North, Bello El-Rufai has disclosed that the state governor, Uba Sani taught him politics.
El-Rufai described Sani as his mentor because he made him contest for the House of Representatives seat.
The lawmaker disclosed this during an interview hosted by Yaya Abba, titled, ‘With Shuraim.’
Bello said two of his friends influenced his move to work under Sani while he was a serving Senator in the 9th Senate.
Bello also noted that his membership in the Green Chamber was not his father’s call because El-Rufai “never campaigned for me”.
He said, “I think working with Senator Uba Sani taught me the politics that fits this country.
“He’s still my mentor, we talk every day. After he (Sani) emerged as the APC candidate to replace my father, he told my father he wanted me to run for the Reps.
“But Senator Uba Sani was adamant that I had learnt a few things while working in the 9th Senate as a senior legislative aide. That was the step towards me running.
“For me, where I’m from, I feel I’m genuinely responsible for every individual that’s in Kaduna North.”

Labour Party explains Peter Obi’s meeting with Saraki, Lamido
The Labour Party (LP), says the meeting between its presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, ex-Senate President Bukola Saraki and Sule Lamido, on Monday was part of efforts to rescue Nigeria and Nigerians from the current state of economic crisis and hardship.
Obi had, on Monday, caused ripples when news broke that he had paid a visit to the top political figures in their Abuja homes with many speculating that the visits may not be unconnected with a planned coalition by opposition parties to form an alliance towards the 2027 presidential election.
Confirming the speculations in a statement on Tuesday, LP’s National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, said Nigerians should expect more of such meetings ‘aimed at brainstorming over the sufferings of Nigerians.’
Ifoh said the LP was in support of the meeting of like minds who are passionate about charting a new course for the country.
“Yes, it was a meeting of like-minded individuals who believe there is a need for better leadership in our nation,” Ifoh said.

“They are people who see that Nigerians are suffering, not receiving what they bargained for, and observe corruption persisting in high places while Nigeria’s resources are mismanaged.
“They believe it’s the right time to unite and take action to address the challenges facing Nigeria today.
“Despite the government being barely a year old, Nigeria is facing difficult times under the APC administration, which seems directionless.
“This meeting is just the beginning; there will be further interactions and gatherings with other individuals.
“Together, they will brainstorm on how to rescue the nation. The party is fully aware of the meeting and is committed to working hard to achieve something significant for our country,” the LP spokesman said.

Foreign missions violating dollar transaction guidelines – EFCC alleges
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has said that some third-party agents working for foreign missions are bypassing transaction regulation by invoicing in dollars.
EFCC’s Director of Public Affairs, Wilson Uwujaren, stated this during an interview on Channel TV’s Politics Today, monitored by TVN.
TVN recalls that EFCC on Saturday read the riot act to foreign missions based in Nigeria, banning them from transacting in foreign currencies, and mandating the use of the naira in their financial businesses.
During the interview with Channels on Monday, Uwujaren said that naira is the only legal tender in Nigeria, saying the commission had informed Foreign Affairs Ministry on the development.
He said, “Section 20 sub section 1 of the EFCC Act says that naira is the only legal tender in Nigeria; meaning that is the only currency that is acceptable for transactions anywhere across the country.
“We found situations that third-party working for missions circumvent that regulation by invoicing in dollars. A number of them go to the extreme of determining the exchange value of naira in their transactions.
“This is worrisome to us. So we have to bring this to the Foreign Affairs Ministry. The government has the responsibility to rule the protocol and channel of communication to bring this observation to the attention of the foreign mission to advise them to ensure that their activities do not go against our laws.”

I’m a broken man. I no longer believe in love —Singer Skales
Nigerian rapper and cum singer Raoul John Njeng Njeng, popularly known in music circles as Skales, has responded to questions of dating about 100 women in the past.
The father of one who opened up on the latest episode of The Midday Show on the Beat 99.9FM said that he is a broken man who does not believe in love any longer.
In response to a question concerning his earlier admission that he had dated “roughly 100 women in the past,” he claimed he no longer believed in love—except a mother’s love.
He said, “I’m a broken man, and I don’t believe in love anymore”, he started, “I just believe that human beings are selfish and there’s really no love; there is a motive behind every love right now.

”It’s so crazy that I believe the realest love is still my mom’s love and maybe God’s love. In a way, I tell myself that I may be offending God by saying that because God is love, but in the human form, there’s none.”
Skales claimed that he was not supposed to be born into a generation where men and women are in competition with one another when questioned about whether he showed true love for others.
“I believe that I’m a great person born into the wrong generation, it’s like there’s a competition between the men and the women right now. There are good people out there, like me. Yes, I’m broken, but I believe I’m healing, but this generation is totally lost. Everybody is in a circle now and just gets recycled by the same people,” he said.
