Trump issues pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer after insider trading conviction    President Donald Trump has issued a full pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer, who served nearly two years in prison after being convicted of insider trading tied to post-congressional consulting work. Buyer was sentenced in 2023 to 22 months in prison for illegal stock trades made while working as a consultant and lobbyist. He was ordered to forfeit more than $350,000 in ill-gotten gains and pay a $10,000 fine. He was released from custody in 2025 after his conviction was upheld, with the Supreme Court declining to take up his appeal earlier this year. In issuing the pardon, Trump described Buyer’s service as a judge advocate general in the U.S. Army and his time in Congress as “distinguished and highly productive.” The pardon, dated Thursday and released by the White House on Friday, grants Buyer “a full, complete, and unconditional pardon.” Buyer has maint...

      Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has allayed fears that he plans to dissolve the executive members of local governments in the state.
He made the clarification today at the Benue Peoples House, Makurdi during a courtesy call on him by the people of Shitile both from Logo and Katsina-Ala local government areas.
Governor Ortom stated that the local government law of the state does not permit dissolution of an elected council for the constitution of a caretaker committee.
He stated that as a law abiding leader, he would not go against the law and instead uphold due process.
The Governor noted that if a council chairman or any of the council members breaches the law establishing the local government system, such an official would be suspended on recommendation and ratification by the State Assembly.
He urged Benue people to disregard speculations that council chairmen and their executive members would be dissolved to pave way for caretaker committees, stressing that the rumour was baseless and misleading.
Governor Ortom urged the people of Shitile to embrace peace for development to thrive in the area, noting that arrangements were in top gear to demarcate the boundary between Benue and Taraba to minimize crisis between border communities of the two states.
In separate remarks, District Head of Mbacher, Chief Luka Atovigba and former Speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. David Mzenda Iho, appealed for the construction of Gbishe - Abaji - Amafu road in the area and also called for the review of the state's amnesty programme to accommodate some youths from the area who might be afraid to willingly surrender to security agencies.
While appreciating the Governor for appointing their son, Mr. Gbor Igyo as the Provost of College of Education Katsina-Ala, the Shitile leaders also appealed for the upgrade of the institution to federal status.More photos below.
