"Afenifere Proposes Solutions to Insecurity and Attacks on Security Personnel in Nigeria".


Afenifere, a pan-Yoruba socio-cultural and political organization, has expressed deep concern over the recent fatal attacks on police officers, just 11 days after a similar attack on military personnel in Delta State. The organization also commended President Bola Tinubu for his efforts in honoring the fallen soldiers who were tragically killed.

In a press release issued by Jare Ajayi, the National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, the organization congratulated Tinubu, Northern elders, security agencies, and the governors of Kaduna and Zamfara States for the successful rescue of the kidnapped students from Kuriga and Sokoto. Afenifere's statement comes in the wake of the recent abductions in the North and the killing of 17 soldiers and six policemen in Delta State, with an additional six policemen reported missing within a span of two weeks.

Afenifere highlighted the urgent need to critically examine the operational strategies of security agencies. They brought attention to reports from the field and statements made by army commanders, which revealed the challenges faced by soldiers in combating banditry. The organization noted that soldiers often faced difficulties deterring bandits due to their limited familiarity with the geography and terrain, giving the bandits an advantage. The lack of sufficient patrolling and surveillance along Nigeria's northern borders further exacerbates the problem.

Therefore, Afenifere called on the government to address the issues raised by the Chief of Defence Staff. The organization stressed the importance of increasing the number of security personnel and providing them with the necessary equipment to effectively manage and monitor all areas requiring security presence.

In related news, the Chief Whip of the Senate, Ali Ndume, praised Tinubu for posthumously honoring the soldiers who were slain in Okuama, Delta State. Ndume commended Tinubu for attending the funeral, stating that the President's presence demonstrated his patriotism. He called on political leaders and all Nigerians to put aside their differences and unite in honoring the fallen heroes who bravely defended and protected the country.

Afenifere's proposals and concerns, alongside the commendation for Tinubu's actions, underscore the urgent need for improved security measures and a united front in addressing the escalating insecurity and attacks on security personnel in Nigeria.

Shehu Sani: Former Senator Claims Shehu and Edu Would Have Survived Under Buhari's Administration

Former senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has recently stated that the suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr Betta Edu, and the Chief Executive Officer of the National Social Investment Programme Agency (NSIPA), Halima Shehu, would have likely survived suspension under former President Muhammadu Buhari's administration. In an interview on Trust Radio, Sani, who was once a member of the All Progressives Congress, expressed his belief that if the public outcry calling for Dr Edu's suspension had occurred during Buhari's tenure, it would have been disregarded and fallen on deaf ears.

The Negative effects of screening Ministerial nominees by the Nigeria Senate without stating their portfolios?

Senate Transmits Names Of 45 Confirmed Ministerial Nominees To Presidency. Some of the nominees includes:  from the North-West are Badaru Abubakar from Jigawa State, Mariya Mahmoud (Kano), Abdullahi Tijjani Gwarzo (Kano), Ahmed Dangiwa (Katsina), Hannatu Musawa (Katsina), Dr. Yusuf Tanko Sununu (Kebbi), Atiku Bagudu (Kebbi), Bello Muhammad Goronyo (Sokoto) and Bello Matawalle from Zamfara State. There are several several negative effects of screening ministerial nominees by the Nigeria Senate without stating their portfolios: 1. Lack of specific scrutiny: When ministerial nominees are not assigned specific portfolios during the screening process, it becomes difficult for the Senate to thoroughly assess their suitability for the specific roles they will be assigned. This can result in a lack of focused questioning and evaluation, potentially leading to the appointment of ministers who may not be the best fit for their assigned portfolios. 2. Inefficient allocation of responsibilities: W...

Otu Oka-iwu, Abuja congratulates the Judges of the FCT High Court and Justices of the Court of Appeal sworn in today by the Chief Justice of Nigeria; Hon Justice Ariwoola.

The appointment is commendable because the increase in the number of Judges and Justices will help with the challenges of work load and the time lag it takes to conclude a case in the respective courts.  While we facilitate with the appointees, we note that in the FCT High Court, each State is represented at the Bench. However, our attention is drawn to the fact while other states are represented, Ebonyi State has no representation to reflect the federal character system as required in the composition of the Judges of the FCT High Court. Ebonyi State undoubtedly has produced fine legal minds in the country. We are therefore concerned that the state is not represented in the FCT High Court. For fairness and equity, we hereby appeal to the National Judicial Council to consider this oversight and call that Ebonyi State quota be filled in the FCT High Court.  Going forward, fortunately or unfortunately, the appointment of the Judges and Justices that were sworn in toda...
