Parts of the letter read, “I am writing to convey my grave concern regarding the planned nationwide protest and to request that the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) urgently advise all political parties in Ondo State to boycott this event.
“As we approach the Governorship election in November 2024, it is paramount that we maintain peace and stability in our state. Its therefore imperative that all the registered 17 Political Parties in the state should sponsor or take part in anything that will drag the state backward.
“Suffice to say, with the Governorship election just a few months away, it is critical that we preserve a peaceful and orderly environment. The planned protest has the potential to incite violence and civil unrest, which could significantly disrupt the electoral process slated for the 16th of November 2024. All the Political parties in the state must focus on fostering a calm and stable atmosphere conducive enough till the slated date of the election in a bid to have a free and fair elections.
“Also, the economic ramifications of large-scale protests can be severe. As Ondo State works towards economic recovery and growth through credible intervention programmes of the Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa led administration, it is essential to avoid actions that could disrupt business activities and economic stability. Political parties should consider the long-term economic health of our state and refrain from participating in actions that could lead to economic hardship for our residents.
“In the wake of ongoing public health concerns, particularly related to airborne diseases and Cholera as its outbreak has recently been confirmed in states in the southwest, large gatherings can pose significant health risks. The safety and well-being of our citizens should remain at top priority. Engaging in mass protests at this juncture could lead to a resurgence of infections, placing an undue burden on our healthcare system and endangering lives.”

Adamawa group backs protest, indicts govt, privileged individuals
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.”

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
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
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.
