via Punch Nigeria2 min read
Former Senate President Senator Adolphus Wabara, also the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party, has called for political unity against what he describes as bad leadership in Nigeria. Marking his 78th birthday, Wabara stated that the country's survival hinges on the choices made in the 2027 general elections, identifying poor leadership as a major challenge. He criticized successive administrations, particularly the ruling All Progressives Congress, for squandering human and natural resources. Wabara urged opposition parties to overcome differences and form a common front to address economic mismanagement, democratic decline, and worsening insecurity, arguing that the nation's fortunes have deteriorated since the APC took power in 2015. He highlighted the soaring cost of living, declining purchasing power, rising unemployment, and a growing sense of hopelessness among Nigerians, asserting that the country's problem is bad leadership, not a lack of resources. Wabara accused the APC of failing to fulfill its promises and warned that its continued rule beyond 2027 could endanger the nation's future. He emphasized the importance of a vibrant opposition for democratic development and urged for a broad coalition of patriotic Nigerians to rescue the country.

Nigeria is also addressing trade barriers through the AfCFTA Digital Trade Protocol and improved customs cooperation, with digital trade facilitation, transport connectivity, and better logistics expected to reduce business costs.

Speaking on Friday while receiving the personnel, the IG noted that an officer made the ultimate sacrifice while working with other security agencies to free the abducted children. He highlighted that other officers injured during the operation are recovering well and assured continued support for their welfare and the family of the deceased officer. The IG explained that publicizing the deaths of officers killed in the line of duty is standard practice, emphasizing that police officers are human beings with emotions. He commended the collaboration among security agencies, stressing that no single agency is superior in the fight against insecurity, and appealed to the public to provide useful information.

Must ReadGhanaian TikToker Camilla Alhassan has been sentenced to one year in prison for offensive conduct and publishing false news. The 43-year-old admitted to making unsubstantiated claims in a series of TikTok videos that President John Mahama sacrificed 32 cows in a ritual to secure victory in the 2024 presidential election. She also alleged that the government's distribution of sanitary pads to flood victims was a cover-up for this act. Prosecutors stated that Alhassan, who has over 70,000 followers, made false and defamatory allegations that were widely shared. The court denied her request for a lighter sentence, emphasizing the need to deter the spread of misinformation on social media. This case has sparked renewed debate in Ghana regarding the balance between combating misinformation and upholding freedom of expression. It follows another instance last year where TikToker David Kwodwo Prah Afful was jailed for making death threats against President Mahama and Members of Parliament. The Mahama administration has consistently warned against the dissemination of false information online and is considering legislation to address misinformation while safeguarding constitutional free expression.
