Yemen fighting pushes nearly 3,000 to Djibouti in less than a week: UN    Nearly 3,000 people have fled Yemen for Djibouti in less than a week as escalating violence drives growing displacement within the country and across its borders, the UN refugee agency said Friday. “Refugees continue to arrive by boat through Obock, Khor Angar, Moulhoule and Godoria after difficult journeys in small vessels,” UNHCR representative in Djibouti Sandrine Desamours told reporters in Geneva, Anadolu Agency reported. More than half of those crossing the Bab el-Mandeb Strait are women and children, while some families have been displaced for a second time after previously fleeing Yemen during the 2015 crisis and later returning. UNHCR is preparing for at least 10,000 new arrivals but warned that capacity is rapidly diminishing. Markazi refugee village, designed for 5,000 people, was already hosting more than 2,700 Yemenis and 1,500 Eritreans. More than 100,000 people have also been displaced ins...

PDP group to Akeredolu: Resume or transmit power in 72 hours


A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) pressure group, PDP Forever Initiative, has given the Ondo State governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, a 72-hour ultimatum to resume office or transmit power to his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, in accordance with the 1999 Constitution (as amended).


The National Coordinator of the group, Gideon Obande, issued the ultimatum on Friday, while speaking at a press briefing at the PDP National Secretariat, in Abuja. Obande stated that since the governor has been sick for some time, it is incumbent on him to transit power to his deputy.


He threatened that if at the expiration of the ultimatum, Governor Akeredolu fails to resume office or transit power to Aiyedatiwa, the group would occupy the Ondo State Government House to press home its demand.


“The All Progressives Congress (APC) is yet to provide the kind of leadership expected of it by Nigerians. The worst of it is the political vacuum in Ondo State where the APC led Federal government used in showcasing its ineptitude towards governance in the country.


“During our reign in power, former President Umar Musa Yar’ Adua was sick and could not transmit power to the Vice President before leaving the country, our party invoked the powers of the constitution and empowered the vice president as the acting president.


“It also happened in Taraba State when the late Gov Danbaba Suntai had an air crash; we resolved the crisis but the ruling APC has failed woefully in managing the political crisis in Ondo State. This is a sign that the APC led Federal government is insensitive to the plight of Nigerians.


“The governor has been around in the country but obviously not fit enough to manage the affairs of the state. The question is, since the deputy governor is not allowed to act, and the governor has refused to resume, who is administering the state at the moment?”
