 Rebels to withdraw from key DR Congo town 'after US request' The M23 rebel group has said it would withdraw from the eastern DR Congo town of Uvira at the request of the US administration, which had criticised seizure of the town last week as a threat to mediation efforts. The rebels entered Uvira, on the border with Burundi, less than a week after the presidents of Congo and Rwanda met with US President Donald Trump in Washington and affirmed their commitment to a peace deal known as the Washington Accords. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Saturday that Rwanda's actions in eastern Congo violated the Washington Accords and vowed to "take action to ensure promises made to the President are kept." A report by a United Nations group of experts in July said Rwanda exercised command and control over the rebels. Rwanda denies supporting M23 and has blamed Congolese and Burundian forces for the renewed fighting. Corneille Nangaa, leader of the Congo River Allia...

 Edo poll: Conduct drug tests on candidates, APC tells NDLEA


The All Progressives Congress Governorship Campaign Council in the September 21 poll in Edo State has called on the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency to subject leading candidates to compulsory drug tests to ascertain their level of sanity.

In a statement made available by the council’s Director of Media, Kassim Afegbua, on Wednesday in Benin, the state capital, he urged the NDLEA to zero in on all the frontline candidates of the major political parties with a view to ascertaining their sanity.

“We have been reliably informed that some of them are alleged to be heavy consumers of banned substances and also alcohol. A test for all of them will unveil their level of sanity.

“Edo voters must be well-guided in making informed choices during the elections and avoid voting for a candidate who will spend the state’s resources in funding drug and alcoholic lifestyles,” he said.

Afegbua said the compulsory test would save Edo people of future embarrassment that may arise, adding that voters can not be deceived again.

He added, “Edo State is too decent to have a governor who will bring shame to the people. Anyone who wants to govern Edo State should not be a heavy consumer of marijuana. This is a banned substance, and we expect the NDLEA to verify and conduct tests on the major candidates.

“Our candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo, is prepared to submit himself to any test any time he’s called upon. We expect similar assurances from the other candidates to ascertain their level of sanity.

“It will be a big shame for residents of other states to drag our people in the mud for mistakenly voting for a candidate whose state of mind can not be guaranteed. That is a big risk Edo people can not gamble with. We are doing this to save our state, and we hope that the NDLEA will quickly swing into action and do the needful.

“As we countdown to September 21, we will continue to mount pressure on NDLEA and other law enforcement agencies to come to the aid of Edo people and subject the candidates to compulsory drug tests. The people deserve to know who they are supporting.

“We must unearth any padded candidate who pretends to be a saint during the day but a notorious gangster at night. Edo people deserve a governor with a sane mind to lead us into prosperity.”
