Though they are no longer with us, the Army is here with you,” he said.

Brigadier-General Aburime commended the brigade for the effort, urging that the practice of supporting widows and children be sustained.
Several widows expressed gratitude for the support. Mrs. Queen Obazuwa, one of the beneficiaries, appealed for continuous assistance, highlighting the importance of the Army’s support in the aftermath of their loss.

THE CAMPAIGN COUNCIL CRISIS: Unbelievable Revelations Show Party Leaders Completely Left in the Dark!
An internal source within the All Progressives Congress (APC) disclosed that key stakeholders were excluded from formulating the controversial Presidential Campaign Council (PPC) list.

According to insiders speaking to Punch, the controversial lineup was drafted exclusively by the President’s Special Adviser on Political Matters alongside a small group within the Presidency, entirely bypassing the party structure. Consequently, the initial document was scrubbed from the party’s official X handle, with a revised version anticipated pending presidential approval of the two-day deliberations. However, checks by Naija News confirmed that the list remained active on the X account of Bayo Onanuga, the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy.
