       The Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun has described the open declaration of the Minister for Women Affairs and Social Development, Senator Aisha Alhassan for the political aspiration of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as a disappointment. Speaking to news men in Abeokuta, Amosun, while saluting her courage, said, "though she is entitled to her own opinion at any point in ti me, but she should have just resigned her appointment because her loyalty cannot be in two places.

     The Emir of Lafia, Dr Isah Mustapha-Agwai 1, has appealed to Nigerians not to smear or bring down those in positions of authority for personal interests, saying only God could give and take power. Mustapha-Agwai made the appeal when the IGP Ibrahim Kpotun-Idris visited him in his palace on Friday. It would be recalled that the police boss was in Lafia to inaugurate the State Police Command headquarters donated by Gov Tanko Al-makura.

     The Nigerian Army wishes to note with great concern the recent spate of negative, unguarded comments and derogative publications both on mainstream and on online media, denigrating the Armed Forces of Nigeria particularly, the Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Air Force by some unidentified, unscrupulous and unpatriotic individuals and groups. This worrisome trend is observed mostly whenever we record successes in our military operations against Boko Haram terrorists and other laudable military endeavours such as when the United States Government decided to sell Tucano aircrafts to Nigeria. It is really surprising that these agents of destruction are not happy with the welcomed development of the sale of weapons and our collective success. The list of their systematic, unrelenting and futile attempts to rubbish either the leadership or ridicule the Services through baseless allegations is quite lengthy. First there was a letter written by some self-appointed leaders of Islami
