Governor of Oyo State, Engr ‘Seyi Makinde, urged members of the National Assembly Joint Committee on Electoral Matters to propose changes that will enhance Nigeria’s democracy and promote unity within the country.

During a meeting with the lawmakers in his office, the governor emphasized the importance of instilling confidence in Nigerian citizens regarding the democratic process and encouraging their participation in it.

He stressed the need for the committee to recommend amendments that will strengthen democratic principles and foster national unity.

Governor Seyi Makinde said;

“I have seen people who were given the opportunity to change the trajectory of the nation but because of selfishness and personal interest they missed the road. Who knows who is going to be here tomorrow? Whatever you do, do it in the wider interest of the country; the unity of Nigeria is sacrosanct. A united Nigeria is the route to go.”

Aaron Uzodike, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is urging Speaker Emmanuel Emereuwa of the Abia State House of Assembly to swear him in as the representative for Aba North constituency.

The Court of Appeal declared Uzodike the winner of the March 18, 2023 House of Assembly election, removing Destiny Nwagwu of the Labour Party (LP) from office in the process.

Uzodike spoke to journalists in Umuahia about his situation and requested that Governor Alex Otti respect the law and pressure the Speaker into inaugurating him immediately.

He expressed disappointment that his constituents have been without representation for the past five months despite receiving a Certificate of Return from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on December 13, 2023.

Uzodike also mentioned that the Abia State High Court in Obehie, Ukwa LGA, dismissed a case filed by his opponent, Destiny Nwagwu, on March 19, 2024. Nwagwu had claimed to be personally investigating Uzodike’s credentials.

According to Uzodike, the House had scheduled his inauguration for January 18, 2024, but the Speaker allegedly informed him that he could not be sworn in because the powers-that-be did not want it to happen. He displayed his Certificate and Certified True Copy (CTC) of the judgment during the interview.

Afrobeats sensation Davido, whose real name is David Adeleke, attributes his accomplishments in the entertainment world to his core values rather than his affluent upbringing.

During a recent appearance on the podcast ‘Business Untitled,’ Davido pointed out that while some individuals with more financial resources than him have tried to make a mark in the entertainment sector, they haven’t achieved the same level of success that he has.

“There are many billionaires in Nigeria, even richer than my father… And there are people [billionaire’s children] who have tried to do what I have tried to do: music, entertainment, business. But mine has been successful because of my values”.

“The biggest challenge I had when I started music was that my father is wealthy. But I got accepted for one reason and that reason is that I am good, talented. I don’t think I would have ever been accepted if I wasn’t good at what I do”.

The fact that repeated and several attempts and efforts by Nsukka people and their allies to create Adada State failed does not mean that its creation is not possible again. It is. This is considering that no new state has been created in Nigeria since 1996, before the military handed over power to democratically elected government in 1999.

As people of Nsukka work, pray, and await the creation of Adada State, it is interesting and good that the immediate past Governor of Enugu State, a visionary leader and true son of Nsukka, has provided in earnest some critical infrastructure and edifices in Nsukka in anticipation and readiness for it to assume the enviable status of the capital of Adada State.

These infrastructure include the dualised and illuminated Opi-Nsukka carriage way, which is the gateway to the town and has provided unprecedented facelift to the once sleepy and rusty town. Also reconstructed and constructed are networks of roads adorned with streetlights. At the Ede Oballa axis are completed state secretariat annex and international conference. A 5000-capacity international stadium is on the ground.

The State University of Medical and Applied Sciences (SUMAS) Igbo Eno, which is the second university in Enugu North Senatorial zone more than four decades after the establishment of University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN), is already completed and in session for the second year.

The Federal Polytechnic Ohodo, attracted to the zone by the immediate past administration, has commenced academic programmes. All these critical infrastructure, institutions, and development brought to the zone in the last eight years plus have improved the standard of living, brought about the influx of people and investments, added substantial value to assets, human beings, and investments in Nsukka.

Nightlife and the hospitality industry have improved significantly with the massive construction of hotels and nightclubs in Nsukka. As it is today, Nsukka is overdeveloped, prepared, and qualified to serve as the capital of the proposed Adada State. History will be kind to the visionary leader who saw tomorrow and provided the befitting and critical infrastructure in Nsukka that have changed the status and outlook of the town.

Dr. Ben Nwoye, the immediate past Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu State, says the demise of Sen. Ayogu Eze, is “devastating” to the members of the national ruling party.

Nwoye in a reaction on Friday in Enugu said that “I am utterly shocked and deeply saddened to learn about the sudden passing of our dear leader.

“The sad news has left me and other members of our great party within the state speechless,” he said.

Nwoye noted that the death is one too many personally to him and to the APC family where the late politician played his last politics on earth.

He said that Sen. Eze until his demise remained a close friend and a big brother to him and many APC party members in Enugu State and beyond.

According to him, how can one begin to rationalise this? This is one death too many.

“We are still trying to come out from the shock of the death of Mrs. Maria Aniobi, the last representative of Enugu at the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission, and now, Ayogu who replaced her is gone.

“Enugu APC has lost an astute leader. He was our Governorship Candidate in the 2019 General Election.

“Sen. Eze is the best Governor we never had from Enugu North Senatorial District,” he said.

The APC leader said that Sen. Eze
was a beacon of strength, wisdom, and compassion, and “his loss leaves a void that cannot be filled in Enugu State APC.”

Nwoye prayed for the repose of his soul and for the Almighty God to give the family and everyone related to the late Senator the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.

It would be recalled that Sen. Eze passed on Thursday, April 25, 2024, in an Abuja hospital after a protracted illness.

Soulja Boy, the American rapper, has signaled his intention to acquire the popular social media platform TikTok.

He is the first individual to express interest in acquiring TikTok following the signing of a foreign aid package into law by U.S. President Joe Biden.

This legislation mandates that the Chinese-owned app must be sold within nine months or face a ban in the United States.

Taking to his social media handles, Soulja Boy criticized the new law, suggesting that if TikTok could be banned, other apps or sites could potentially face similar restrictions.

He wrote;

“I can’t believe yall just gon let them ban TikTok like that. And yall think it’s funny. If they do it to this app they can do it to any app or site. Not cool fr yall will see later”.

Iranian rapper Toomaj Salehi has been condemned to capital punishment by an Iranian judicial panel for endorsing demonstrations against mandatory hijab laws.

Salehi has been detained for over eighteen months due to his support for the protests sparked by the tragic demise of Mahsa Amini, who passed away shortly after being apprehended for wearing a hijab deemed “inappropriate” in 2022.


His legal representative, Amir Raisian, disclosed on Wednesday that the Isfahan Revolutionary Court’s Branch 1 had pronounced the death penalty for Salehi on the grounds of engaging in activities deemed subversive by the state.

Salehi’s arrest in October 2022 ensued following his public endorsement of the protests against compulsory hijab laws.

The Revolutionary Court leveled accusations against Salehi, citing his involvement in incitement, unlawful assembly, collaboration, dissemination of anti-government propaganda, and incitement to riot.

Following a review of the case by the Iranian Supreme Court, a directive was issued to the lower court to rectify the legal discrepancies in the verdict.
