Senator representing Edo North, Adams Oshiomhole, is the latest to condemn the actions of the governor of Kogi State, Usman Ododo, for his interference in the legal scuffle between his predecessor, Yahaya Bello and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
Over the weekend, the Senator spoke at the national integration conference, organised by the Kukah Centre, urging citizens to speak up against breaches of the law irrespective of who is involved.
The former governor of Edo State, also addressed the issue of sexual orientation in the Nigerian context during the conference, which was themed “Revisiting the national question: Nigeria’s elusive search for national integration’. Oshiomole stated that in Nigeria, sexual orientation matters, and that homosexuality should be condemned.
As many Nigerians express concern over the demolition of Landmark Beach, the meeting between the minister of works and housing, Dave Umahi and contractors handling the 200 kilometers ‘Abuja Lokoja Benin road, has made the rounds on social media. During the meeting, Umahi sent a stern warning to contractors who refuse to sign a new contract to forget the Job.
The minister further stressed that he will send locals to beat up any contractor seen onsite without a contract. As the fight against corruption by the economic and financial crimes commission takes center stage, human rights activist, Francis Nwapa, and Actress Hilda Dokubo have asked the anti graft agency, to also look into corruption of point of sale operators, who buy naira from financial institutions and resell to Nigerians at exorbitant rates. Nwapa asked the anti-graft agency in a post on X, to arrest individuals in different financial institutions who are responsible for making Nigerians buy naira in their own country, stating that it is the worst form of Naira abuse! Dokubo on the other hand called for the regulation of ‘POS’ and a thorough investigation of bank officials engaging in the act.
