The pan-Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenifere, has appealed to Nigerians to allow the judicial system to fairly handle the criminal defamation charges filed against activist and author Dele Farotimi by the Nigeria Police Force.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The charges stem from a complaint by Chief Afe Babalola, SAN, who alleges that Farotimi’s book Nigeria and its Criminal Justice contains defamatory content. The book, widely circulated, reportedly harmed Babalola’s reputation, leading to the legal action.

Farotimi, arrested in Lagos and transferred to Ekiti, appeared in court last Monday, where his bail application was denied. He remains in custody pending a hearing on December 10.

In response, protests advocating Farotimi’s release are planned for Lagos, Abuja, and Ekiti on the same date.

Afenifere’s National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Jare Ajayi, urged all parties to respect the rule of law, emphasizing that courts are the proper venue for resolving disputes and safeguarding justice for all.

“We call on everyone to avoid actions or statements that could disrupt public order,” Ajayi stated. “The legal process must be allowed to run its course in adherence to the principles of justice.”

Afenifere further appealed to the government to ensure strict adherence to the rule of law while urging Nigerians to remain calm and peaceful as the case unfolds.

Tinubu Set To Storm Jigawa On Tuesday For Major Campaign Rally.

Published

on

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is expected to visit Jigawa State on Tuesday for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally and the commissioning of four major development projects.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The state government has declared Tuesday a work-free day to enable residents to participate in the scheduled activities.

Governor Umar Namadi announced the presidential visit on Monday, describing it as Tinubu’s first official visit to Jigawa since assuming office in May 2023.

Speaking with journalists in Dutse after inspecting the projects and the venue for the campaign rally, Namadi expressed satisfaction with the level of preparations ahead of the President’s arrival.

He said the inspection covered all the locations where the projects would be commissioned, as well as the rally venue, adding that Jigawa was fully prepared to receive Tinubu.

The governor, however, disclosed that government officials and representatives of the Presidency were still making some adjustments based on observations during the inspection.

According to Namadi, the President is expected to inaugurate the Renewed Hope Technical Services Centre, the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Multipurpose Skills Acquisition Centre, the state’s agricultural mechanisation programme and a dualised road in Dutse.

He explained that the agricultural mechanisation initiative comprises 400 tractors, 60 combine harvesters, 150 boom sprayers and 150 seeders, alongside other equipment aimed at improving agricultural productivity across the state.

Namadi noted that although several other projects had been completed in the state, only four located within Dutse metropolis were selected for inauguration because of the President’s limited time.

He explained that the selected projects were relatively close to one another, making it easier for Tinubu to commission them within his available schedule.

The governor also assured residents that adequate security arrangements had been made ahead of the visit.

He disclosed that he had held meetings with security chiefs and members of the state security committee to review and strengthen security measures for the President’s visit.

Namadi subsequently appealed to residents to come out in large numbers to welcome Tinubu and participate in the scheduled APC campaign rally.

‘Kwankwaso Is More Experienced Than Peter Obi’ – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Declares.

Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.

“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.

He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”

Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.

He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.

“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.

In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.

“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
