 North Korea fired several ballistic missiles into the sea Monday, South Korea’s military said, hours after South Korean and U.S. troops kicked off their large annual combined drills, which the North views as an invasion rehearsal.  South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missile firings, North Korea’s fifth missile launch event this year, were detected from the North’s Hwanghae province but gave no further details such as how far they flew.  Earlier Monday, the South Korean and U.S. militaries began their annual joint military exercises, which are scheduled to last 11 days. The Freedom Shield command post exercise began after the South Korean and U.S. militaries paused live-fire training while Seoul investigates how two of its fighter jets mistakenly bombed a civilian area during a warm-up drill last week.  The drills' start drew the condemnation of nuclear-armed North Korea, which issued a government statement calling the exercises a “dangerous provocative act...

‘Our Gov locked in prayer while his candidate lost primaries’ – Achado mocks Alia


The member representing Gwer East/Gwer West Federal Constituency of Benue State, Arch. Asema Achado has said Governor Hyacinth Alia “was busy in closed-door prayers” with his officials, while his preferred candidate for the Guma 1 State Constituency primary election was acutely defeated.

Arch. Achado, a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, had in November 2023, via an open letter to Alia, advised the Governor to dedicate time to attending to official matters and government activities, rather than using office hours meant for business of governance for prayers.

Also in December, while the Benue APC National Assembly Caucus was briefing the press in Abuja on how Fr. Alia was running the affairs of the state like a parish, Arch. Achado reiterated his comment on how top government functionaries, critical stakeholders and leaders of the party would drive to Government House, Makurdi, to discuss issues of state importance with Alia, only to be told that the Governor would not be available for such meeting as he would be engaged in marathon prayers for over four hours.

Taking to his personal Facebook page Saturday evening, Hon. Achado mocked Governor Alia for failing to produce the Guma 1 State Assembly candidate of the party and attempting to cancel the process after it was long done and the Electoral Committee had long arrived Abuja with the result.

“I love my Governor, hence my advice to him two months ago, to sleep/pray in the night and work in the day”, Achado posted on Facebook.

He added, “the nationwide House of Assembly primary election was scheduled to hold today by 8 am. In Benue State, it started about 9 am and ended about 10 am.

“Our prayerful Governor was locked up in prayers with his officials till noon. The APC electoral officials conducted the primary election and left, while our prayerful Governor was praying or sleeping.

“How do you suspend a process which has been concluded? A process you have no control over. Haba”.

It would be recalled that the Guma 1 State Constituency seat in the State House of Assembly was declared vacant following the resignation of Dr. Yamar Ortese who was appointed a commissioner.

An election to fill the vacant position is expected to be conducted next month, hence, the primary election to pick the party’s candidate.

In the election conducted under heavy security on Saturday by the Prof. Kabiru Ibrahim-led 2024 APC Bye-election primaries committee, Hon. Uche Peter Terwase defeated his only rival, Hon. Maurice Orwough.

Uche, who is said to have the backing of Hon. Dickson Tarkighir of Guma/Makurdi Federal Constituency, polled a total number of 25 votes to defeat Governor Alia’s annointed candidate, Hon. Orwough who polled only three votes.

Announcing the result at the Avine Agbum Hotel in Daudu, Guma Local Government Area, which also served as the collation Centre for the primary election, Prof. Kabiru, Chairman of Primary Election Committee stated that “the election was not only free, fair and credible but represented the wishes of APC members in Guma 1 State Constituency”.

But in a twist of event, Governor Alia declared that he was cancelling the election.

He said the election was marred by security breaches and irregularities.

Meanwhile, the state working Committee of the APC has congratulated Hon. Terwase on his “well deserved victory” at the polls.

A statement signed by Daniel Ihomun, the State Publicity Secretary of the party, quoted the State Chairman, Comrade Austin Agada, as “commending APC members in Guma for a peaceful primary election,” while thanking “them for their show of maturity during the primary election”.
