Adamawa group backs protest, indicts govt, privileged individuals

0

A group, Adamawa Likeminds, has moved against the trend in the state by backing the planned nationwide protest.
Many groups as well as the dominant political parties and the state government, had, within the past days, distanced themselves from the protest.
However, Adamawa Likeminds, at a press conference on Wednesday in Yola, said the protest is long overdue because the government and people in privileged positions have failed the masses.
Leader of the group, Danladi Jonah, a youth activist, said, “To those calling for no peaceful protest, how many of you spoke to power on the current situation in the country before now? How many of you have rendered a helping hand out of your abundance to your neighbours or your community?”
He said because the masses have endured their suffering quietly, things kept going from bad to worse.
According to him, “Rising insecurity, high cost of living, bad governance, low income, high price of petroleum products, high electricity tariff, high unemployment rate, bad economic policies, etc, have forced we the law-abiding citizens to show our grievances to the government through peaceful protest.”
Jonah said the Federal Government headed by President Bola Tinubu has not shown resolve to tackle the problems, adding, “The government palliative measures are not working. Just on Monday (July 29), Adamawa State commissioner for information said they were yet to receive the rice promised by the federal government. How do they want the citizens to survive?”
He however called for peace during and after the protest, stressing, “We want to use this medium to call on the citizens to peacefully express themselves while matching on the streets of Adamawa state. Avoid provocations and be law abiding before, during and after the peaceful protest.
“We are calling on the security agencies to adequately provide security for the protesters as well as safely guard lives and properties, especially government assets during the protest.”

A former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, has narrated how the late music icon, Onyeka Onwenu, spent her last moment. 

Obi, who said he was at the event where the late singer performed her last, explained that Onwenu took water after her performance before she collapsed. 

According to him, it was a beautiful performance, but little did we know it would be her final bow. 

Obi, who was the Labour Party’s presidential candidate during the last general elections, while mourning the late singer on his X account on Wednesday, said, “Yesterday provided a very devastating moment for me as I witnessed a tragic event that will forever be etched in my memory. I was present at the event where the iconic song star, Onyeka Onwenu, performed a couple of her songs ending up with her famous song, ‘One Love Keep Us Together’.

“It was a beautiful performance, but little did we know it would be her final bow. Just about a few minutes after her performance, she sat down and drank some water and immediately collapsed, and was rushed to the hospital.

“I followed her to the hospital. I watched in pain as the doctors and medical staff fought tirelessly and battled to save her life, doing everything possible to bring her back to life but eventually came out with the sad news that she was gone.

“Despite their valiant efforts, she sadly passed away after over two hours of intense struggle. My heart goes out to her children and family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time. May we find the strength and courage to bear this irreparable loss.”

According to Obi, Onwenu was a national treasure, a shining star who inspired generations with her music, activism, and strong dedication to the arts.

He described her passing as a tremendous loss for the entire nation, saying she would be deeply missed.

He said, “I want to thank everyone who together with us accompanied her to the hospital yesterday. Special thanks to Mr. and Mrs John Momoh, Mr and Mrs Okonkwo, and Mr Okpara, who were with her during her last moments. Governor Alex Otti joined us also and Mr. Femi Ajayi who equally returned to the hospital this morning when we had to finalized everything about her passing. May her soul rest in peace and may her legacy continue to inspire and unite us all.

“My condolences to her family, the entertainment industry, and the nation at large. May we find solace in the memories we shared with her and the impact she had on our lives.”

    Why FG hasn’t announced centres for sale of rice

    0

    The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has said that although the bags of rice to be sold by the Federal Government for N40,000 were available, sale centres cannot be announced for fear of being hijacked and hoarded by “people who have money”.

    The minister stated this while fielding questions from journalists, following a press briefing at the Radio House in Abuja, on Wednesday.

    Recall that the Federal Government through the minister on Monday, said it had created centres across the country where Nigerians could purchase 50kg bags of rice for N40,000.

    Idris said the initiative was one of several initiatives by the Tinubu administration, to ease living conditions for citizens.

    However, speaking on Wednesday, the minister said the bags were in the process of being distributed to states.

    He added that the locations of the sale centres across the country could not be announced for security reasons, and to ensure that those for whom the intervention was intended would get the rice.

    “It’s in the process of distribution to the various states.

    “Sometimes, it is difficult to mention the routes and the time for security reasons.

    “But the rice is already available, it is going to be sold at N40,000.

    “The rice is already available, I can confirm that it is going to be sold at various points around the country.

    “Care is being taken so that it would not be hijacked by people who have money. If we put it out there, they would go there and hoard it; those for whom this rice is intended will not now get the rice”, he said.

    Earlier, Idris enumerated efforts by the Tinubu-led administration, including the recently signed National Education Loan Fund, which he said was targeted at two million students and had already received 120,000 applications, as well as the FG’s N110bn Nigerian Youth Investment Fund which he said would run for the next two years.

    Opposition lawmakers stage walkout as Reps vote to raise ‘Ways and Means’ borrowing

    0

    Some opposition lawmakers in the House of Representatives staged a walkout from the Green Chamber on Wednesday over the increment of the controversial Central Bank of Nigeria ways and means lending to the Federal Government.
    The protest happened during the debate on the amendment of Section 38 of the CBN Act to increase the borrowing level from 5 per cent to 10 per cent.
    The lawmakers want the threshold to be reduced from the current 5 per cent to 2 per cent.
    It would be recalled that former President Muhammadu Buhari was criticized for taking over N23 trillion from the CBN under the Ways and Means policy, which threw the country into debt crisis.
    During the debate, Kingsley Chinda, the Minority Leader, said instead of increasing the threshold, it should be decreased.
    However, two members of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Ayokunle Isiaka and Ahmed Wase, moved that the threshold should be kept at 10 per cent.
    Wase later moved an amendment and it was adopted by the House following a voice vote.
    Angered by the voice vote, some lawmakers staged a walkout in protest.

    Security on high alert as Osun prepares for potential protests

    0

    In a preemptive move aimed at maintaining public order, security operatives in Osun State on Wednesday, embarked on a show of force.
    The deployment of armed personnel from the police, army, and other security agencies has raised eyebrows and sparked concerns about the potential for civil unrest.
    The motorcade which consisted of Soldiers, Police, Civil Defence Corps and DSS operatives move around major streets in Osogbo heavily armed.
    Speaking on the roadshow, Osun Police command spokesperson, SP Yemisi Opalola said the combined security operatives were on a show of strength in preparation for the August one rally to deter criminal elements from hijacking the protest.
    “Yes, the team is on a show of strength across the state capital to serve as a warning for unscrupulous elements who may want to infiltrate tomorrow’s protest to hijack it.

    “We are sending a signal that there is no room for criminals to hijack the protest. The protest would have protection and other citizens would be adequately protected as well”, she said.
    While the official stance is that the operation is a deterrent against criminal elements who might exploit any planned protests, the heavy-handed approach has not been without criticism. Civil liberty advocates have raised alarms about the potential for human rights abuses and the chilling effect such displays can have on freedom of expression.
    The heightened security posture comes amid growing tensions in the country, with calls for protests over various socio-economic issues. The government’s decision to deploy security forces in such a visible manner suggests a deep-seated apprehension about the potential for large-scale demonstrations.
