I led war for Tinubu’s election victory in Rivers – Wike Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Saturday, said he led the war that delivered victory to President Bola Tinubu in Rivers State during the 2023 presidential election. Speaking in Port Harcourt Local Government Area of Rivers State, Wike tackled former supporters of ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar who are now backing Tinubu. Wike noted that they failed to give Atiku 10 percent during the 2023 presidential election but have chosen to support Tinubu. He warned that nobody would be allowed to lead Tinubu’s campaign in the state. Wike said: “In 2023, we led the war to deliver President Tinubu in Rivers State. Those who supported Atiku in 2023 and couldn’t give him 10% are now saying that they’re going to lead President Tinubu’s campaign in Rivers State. “Is it possible? Nobody in this state can push us out. We have led the war and don’t be bothered about the abuses.”
The Chief Judge of Lagos State,Justice Oluwafunmilayo Atilade on thursday continued her prison amnesty exercise with the release of 31 inmates from the Ikoyi prison.Speaking during her visit to the prison yesterday,the Chief Judge said that her administration is committed to decongesting prisons in the state,and that situations where cases are allowed to prolong unnecessarily in courts will no longer be tolerated.while admonishing the freed prisoners not to return to crime again,Atilade stated that her administration will continue to review cases of inmates who have no business being in prison.According to herv''Those of you that have been released today should see this as an opportunity for a new beginning.You must henceforth be of good behaviour and never return to crime.The purpose of carrying out this exercise is to achieve a reduction in the awaiting trial population in prisons,situations where cases are allowed to unnecessarily drag on in court will no longer be tolerated''.The Chief Judge noted that one of the reasons why many deserving inmates do not benefit from amnesty programme is that the State Directorate of Public Prosecution does not always provide the Prison Decongestion Committee detailed information about the awaiting trial inmates.She therefore urged the Directorate to develop mechanism where case files of inmates can easily be accessed and reviewed by the committee.Justice Atilade also advised that the prison authorities must also be up and doing by providing adequate and relevant information to the prison decongestion committee.One more photo below.
