BENUE GOV.-ELECT SAYS, 'I DON'T NEED FIRST LADY TO GOVERN' The Benue State governor-elect, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia, has said that he has worked for over 32 years as a Catholic Priest without a wife, therefore he did not need a First Lady to govern the state. Fr. Alia who spoke through his director of communications, Tersoo Kula, said aside being a Priest without a wife, the Constitution of Nigeria does not even recognise the Office of the First Lady, and therefore the First Lady does not have any major role in the governance of the state. Fr Alia, in his reaction after his declaration as governor-elect said: “My fellow citizens, a new Benue is possible, and I enjoin all of you to join hands with me to make it a reality. Let us begin by embracing a new way of thinking and action by cultivating a new ethos that expresses the best of us, that brings forth our better angels and not our worst demons.” According to him, unending political recriminations and willful economic

I MISLED MPs BUT NOT INTERNATIONALLY- BORIS JOHNSON. (PHOTO).

I misled MPs but not intentionally, says Boris Johnson 22 March 2023 Boris Johnson has accepted he misled Parliament over Covid rule-breaking parties in Downing Street, but denied he did it on purpose. The former prime minister has published a 52-page defence of his actions ahead of a grilling by MPs on Wednesday. In it, he says his assurances to MPs that lockdown rules had been followed were made in "good faith". Mr Johnson faces being suspended or even expelled from Parliament, if MPs decide he deliberately misled them. A group representing families of Covid victims said his claim to have acted in good faith was "sickening", and it was "obvious" he deliberately misled MPs. Since April last year, the Commons Privileges Committee has been investigating whether Mr Johnson initially misled Parliament over what he knew about parties in No 10 during lockdown. After media stories about what would become known as the Partygate scandal emerged in late 2021, Mr Jo

Chad jails 400 rebels for life after ruler’s death  22 March 2023  More than 400 rebels in Chad were handed life sentences on Tuesday following the death of former ruler Idriss Deby Itno, who was killed in 2021, a public prosecutor told AFP. After a mass trial, they were sentenced for “acts of terrorism, mercenarism, recruitment of child soldiers and assaulting the head of state,” said Mahamat El-Hadj Abba Nana, prosecutor for the capital N’Djamena. He did not give a detailed figure for those jailed, saying only that “more than 400 were sentenced” to life, while 24 other defendants were acquitted. The trial opened last month behind closed doors at Klessoum prison, 20 kilometres (12 miles) southeast of the capital.
