 Russia launches massive drone and missile barrage on Ukraine, killing at least 18 civilians and striking Kyiv and multiple cities  Russia carried out a large-scale overnight assault on Ukraine, launching hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles that killed at least 18 civilians and wounded more than 100 others across multiple cities, officials said Tuesday. The strikes hit Kyiv, Dnipro and other regions, with emergency crews working through destroyed residential buildings where some victims were trapped under rubble. In Dnipro, rescuers recovered the bodies of a 3-year-old child and a mother and her 8-year-old son, while officials reported 12 deaths in the city and six in Kyiv. The bombardment stretched from night into daylight, with explosions reported across wide areas of the country.

APC REJECTS INAUGURATION OF NINE PLATEAU LAWMAKERS, INSISTS ON 16.(PHOTO).


 APC rejects inauguration of nine Plateau lawmakers, insists on 16


The Plateau chapter of All Progressive Congress (APC) has rejected what it described as the forceful inauguration of nine out of the 16 elected members of the Assemby.

Plateau APC.chairman Hon Rufus Bature dismissed inauguration of nine out of the 16 lawmakers as democratic abnormality that cannot stand the test of time. 

Bature, who spoke with reporters after Friday’s  inauguration at Old Government House Jos said: “I received it as a shocking development for the Plateau Governor Barr Caleb Mutfwang to compel nine APC state lawmakers to succumb to the swearing in ceremony that only represented flagrant abuse of democratic tents and principles.”

The nine members sworn in are: Hon Yusuf Dickson Chollom of Barkin Ladi constituency;  Hon Abdul Adamu of Mangu North; Daniel Nanbol Lipstick of Langtang North central; Hon Denti Laven Jacob of Pankshin South; Hon Abel Nansak of Langtang North; Hon Bendel Nanchuat of Langtang South; Hon Wallangko Sylvester Ibrahim of  Bokkos; Kwarpo Mathew Sylvanus of Mangu South and Hon Eli Bako Ankala Rukuba. 

Ankala Isa Madaki Ajiji representing Jos East was elected as Deputy Speaker.

Bature insisted the remaining of the seven lawmakers must be sworn in to complete the 16. 

According to him: “In the face of this undemocratic and unconstitutional development, I made two strong demand, that all the 16 APC lawmakers must be sworn in. Secondly, all the 17 elected local government chairmen must be returned to their seats to function as democratically elected LGA chairmen. This is because the Supreme Court has already declared their dissolution from office as null and void.

“I therefore appeal to all people of conscience to compel the Speaker and Gov Caleb Mutfwang to tow the democratic path by ensuring all the democratic structures function without hindrances”

Speaker Gabriel Dewan after inaguarating nine of the 16 APC Assembly members on Friday said: “There is no saga in this House and for those who believe there is a saga, all what we are waiting for is for the due process to be followed. I was called that nine members have met the criteria and I have done my part by inaugurating them.”
