Subject: Urgent Plea for Dennis Idahosa as APC Consensus Candidate for Edo Governorship
Date: 17/1/2024
To, The Acting APC State Chairman, Khalifa Jarret Tenebe.
Dear Sir,
Re: Request for Dennis Idahosa as APC Consensus Candidate for Edo Governorship
We hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. We, the undersigned, represent the collective voice of Edo Amalgamated Youths for Progress, a coalition of nine dynamic youth development groups across the three senatorial districts of our great state.
We write to you today with a shared sense of purpose and an unwavering commitment to the ideals of progress, youth empowerment, and effective governance within our beloved Edo State. In light of the upcoming gubernatorial election, we believe it is imperative to convey our collective stance on the most suitable candidate to represent the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the race for the governorship seat.
After careful consideration and extensive deliberation, our unified decision is unequivocally in favor of Hon. Dennis Idahosa as the APC consensus candidate for the Edo State governorship. We firmly believe that Hon. Dennis Idahosa possesses the qualities, dedication, and commitment required to lead our state towards a brighter and more prosperous future.
Our reasons for endorsing Hon. Dennis Idahosa are rooted in his steadfast dedication to the interests of the youth in Edo State. His track record of public service speaks volumes about his competency and capacity to address the challenges facing our generation. We are confident that under his leadership, our concerns, aspirations, and dreams as young people will be given the attention they deserve.
While our preference is clear, we want to emphasize our commitment to the democratic principles that our great party, the APC, upholds. However, we kindly urge the party leadership to consider the overwhelming voice of the youth in this matter. Failing to field Hon. Dennis Idahosa as the APC gubernatorial flag bearer may, regrettably, lead us to explore alternative options at the general election.
We appreciate your attention to this matter and anticipate a positive response that aligns with the wishes and aspirations of the youth in Edo State.
Yours sincerely,
Destiny Agbafe
Acting Chairman,Edo Amalgamated Youths for Progress

Public commentator Mahdi Shehu has expressed concern over what he described as inadequate funding for military equipment, warning that it could endanger the lives of soldiers in active service.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a post shared on his official X account on Monday, Shehu reacted to reports suggesting that only a small fraction of the Nigerian Army’s 2025 budget for security equipment has been released.
He stated that although over ₦20 billion was approved for the procurement of security equipment, only about ₦1.7 billion—roughly 7 percent—has reportedly been disbursed so far.
Shehu questioned the possible impact of the funding gap on troop safety, suggesting it could be linked to growing battlefield casualties.
He also raised concerns about reported cases of soldiers abandoning their posts, implying that insufficient equipment and support may be contributing factors.
The commentator further asked what had become of funds borrowed in the name of addressing insecurity, calling for accountability in their use.
Shehu also suggested that delays or restrictions in releasing security funds could have serious consequences for both military personnel and civilians.
He expressed worry that different levels of government may not be fully meeting their responsibilities in ensuring the safety of lives and property.
Nigeria’s Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, has said that the ongoing tensions involving the United States, Israel, and Iran are triggering global energy shocks that are contributing to rising inflation in Nigeria.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking on the economic impact of the geopolitical crisis, Edun explained that disruptions in global oil markets have pushed up energy costs, which in turn are feeding inflationary pressures across countries, including Nigeria.
He noted that Nigeria, while implementing economic reforms, is still exposed to external shocks from global events, particularly those affecting crude oil prices and energy supply chains.
According to him, the ripple effects of the conflict are evident in rising transportation, production, and food costs, which continue to strain households and businesses.
Edun maintained that the government is monitoring the situation closely and adjusting its economic policies to cushion the impact, while also strengthening reforms aimed at stabilising the economy amid global uncertainty.
