Niger East And The Quest For Senator Musa's Continuity

Image
By Suleiman Adamu The people of Niger East Senatorial District have proverbially tasted the honey and its sweetness, and are most unwilling to let go of it. For so many who are used to sloganeering and emotive politics, the clamour for the continuity of Senator Sani Musa remains a surprise, but for those moved by tangible people-oriented programmes, it is not. Indeed, it is no longer news that there is a serious quest for his return to the National Assembly. What is indeed news is the momentum and compelling clamour by the resilient constituents, who are unwilling to go back to the harrowing days of political false promises and sweet-talking. Equally, the push for his continuity is associated with the several laudable projects and enduring people-focused programmes carried out by the radical leader and objective grassroots mobiliser.

Image
The Coalition of Civil Society Organizations Against Terrorism in Nigeria has raised serious concern over what it described as a coordinated and sustained campaign of calumny aimed at discrediting the Nigeria Police Force and its current leadership, warning that such attacks could weaken public confidence in security institutions at a critical time for national security. In a press statement released today in Abuja and jointly signed by Comrade Oluwatobi Johnson and Ochiaga Jude, Secretary and Publicity Secretary respectively, the coalition alleged that recent social media-driven narratives targeting certain strategic commands and units of the police appear designed to blackmail officers and obstruct legitimate law enforcement activities.   According to the group, these campaigns are increasingly directed at operational commands actively involved in tackling violent crime, cybercrime, and other threats to public safety, with the intention of demoralizing officers engaged in enforci...
