  The Rivers State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) has issued a 14-day ultimatum to the Rivers State Police Command, demanding a public apology for the assault on five journalists during a peaceful protest in Port Harcourt. Failure to comply, the union warned, would result in a statewide media blackout. In a statement jointly signed by Council Chairman Comrade Paul Bazia and Secretary Dr. Ijeoma Tubosia, the NUJ condemned the police actions as “unprovoked, barbaric, and inhuman,” calling for the immediate identification and prosecution of the officers involved. “The NUJ, as a watchdog of society, will not sit idly by while media practitioners are subjected to barbarism and brutality. Enough is enough,” the statement read, adding that further attacks on journalists would be “vehemently resisted.” The assaulted journalists—Charles Opurum of Channels TV, Allwell Ene of Naija FM, Soibelemari Oruwari of Nigeria Info, Ikezam Godswill of AIT, and Femi Ogunkhilede of Supe...

LP CRISIS: ABURE THINKS HE'S STILL IN 1980,LIES SHAMELESSLY- AISHA YESUFU. (PHOTO).


 LP Crisis: Abure thinks he’s still in 1980, lies shamelessly – Aisha Yesufu


A social critic, Aisha Yesufu has criticised the erstwhile National Chairman of the Labour Party, LP, Mr Julius Abure for allegedly lying about the party funds.

Aidsha in an X post said, ” he thinks one can lie shamelessly without being fact-checked”.

The statement comes after Abure claimed that Yesufu and Pastor Itua Ighodalo were responsible for managing the party’s presidential candidate campaign funds in the 2023 general election.

Abure made the claims amid rumours that he mismanaged the party’s funds, claiming that the party never had access to the accounts opened for donations to support Obi’s candidacy.

He had insisted that Yesufu and Ighodalo were the only signatories to the accounts.

“The party was never involved in the distribution of those resources. Our interest was to see how we could produce a president for the party. How it was done was not our concern. Hence, we gave them free rein. We allowed them to entrust their resources to whomever they wanted. We followed them loyally by allowing them to administer the campaign funds,” Abure said.

However, Yesufu dug up Abure’s post on X in 2022, in which he asked people to take ownership of the party’s campaign by donating a minimum of N1,000 to the Labour Party account.

Aisha blasted the embattled party chairman, saying, “Julius Abure thinks we are still in 1980 where one can lie shamelessly without being fact-checked,” Yesufu posted on X.
