"A TRUE MOTHER DOESN'T CELEBRATE WHILE HER CHILDREN ARE MISSING" - ATIKU BLASTS FIRST LADY REMI TINUBU

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s administration over the handling of abd¥cted schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo State. 

Atiku, through his aide Phrank Shaibu, said it was disturbing that weeks after the May 15, 2026 abd¥ctions, the victims were still in captivity while government officials continued political activities and public celebrations. He accused the administration of lacking urgency and empathy in responding to the crisis. 

He also faulted First Lady Oluremi Tinubu’s public engagements during the period, saying: “A true mother does not celebrate while her children are missing,” adding that leadership should prioritise the safe return of abd¥cted victims over political festivities. 

Atiku further described ongoing displays of celebration amid insecurity as insensitive, insisting that Nigerians expect urgent action rather than what he called “political pageantry,” while urging authorities to ensure the immediate rescue of the kidn@ppedpupils and teachers. 

The criticism follows growing public concern over repeated school abductions, including the May 15 att@cks in Oyo State’s Oriire LGA and a separate incident in Borno State where 42 children and residents were abd¥cted.

APPEAL COURT AFFIRMS ABDULRAHMAN-LED PDP CARETAKER COMMITTEE, DISMISSES TURAKI GROUP'S APPEAL

Image
In a significant legal victory for the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has unanimously dismissed the appeal filed by the Turaki Group challenging the judgment of the Federal High Court (FHC), Ibadan, which recognized the Abdulrahman-led PDP Caretaker Committee. The appellate court upheld the earlier decision of the Federal High Court, which had, in January this year, declined to recognize the executive produced by the Turaki Group’s Ibadan convention and instead affirmed the legitimacy of the Abdulrahman-led Caretaker Committee. The caretaker committee had supervised the PDP National Convention that produced the current members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC). Delivering its judgment, the Court of Appeal held that the appeal had become merely academic and failed to present any live issue warranting judicial intervention, thereby dismissing the case in its entirety. The ruling effectively reinforces the l...

APPEAL COURT NULLIFY RIVERS APC WARD, LOCAL GOVERNMENT, AND STATE CONGRESSES THAT PRODUCED TONY OKOCHA

Image
The Court of Appeal has upheld a high court order nullifying the Rivers APC ward, local government, and state congresses that produced the Tony Okocha-led exco, which is loyal to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike.  Okocha had filed an appeal at the appeal court against the ex parte order of the high court which restrained the APC from conducting its congresses in the state, arguing that the high court had no jurisdiction in the matter and, as such, was not empowered to make the said order. However, the appellate court, in a decision delivered yesterday by Justice Elfreida Williams-Dawodu JCA, affirmed the jurisdiction of the high court in issuing that order and threw out the appeal for want of competence. Meanwhile, Ikenga Chibike, the publicity secretary of the Tony Okocha-led exco, has assured party members that there is no threat to the status of the exco pending full trial of the matter.  He also added that the party lawyers will study the full judgment and advise on th...
