Wike taking loans for FCT without National Assembly approval – Kingibe alleges The senator representing the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Ireti Kingibe, has alleged that the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has been taking loans for the nation’s capital without the approval of the National Assembly. Kingibe made the allegation on Tuesday during an interview. She was discussing the FCT administration, the Abuja master plan and the oversight responsibilities of the National Assembly. According to her, records from the Debt Management Office, DMO, indicated that loans had been taken for the FCT between August 2023 and March 2026, despite Wike not appearing before the Senate to seek approval for such borrowing. “I am definitely saying Wike has been taking loans without the approval of the National Assembly. “I’m sorry to say, with all due respect to the Senate, of which I’m a member, we’re supposed to oversee him. “We’re supposed to approve, and I have brought to the attention of the leadershi...

Mexico Becomes First Nation to Elect Judges Nationwide Amidst Protests and Controversy



Mexico has made history by becoming the first country in the world to allow voters to elect judges at all levels, following the approval of a judicial reform in the Senate. The move, backed by outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, is aimed at addressing concerns over a judiciary perceived to serve the political and economic elite. The reform passed with a two-thirds majority, despite strong opposition from protesters who stormed the Senate during the debate.


Critics of the reform, including legal professionals and court employees, argue that electing judges could expose them to greater influence from criminal elements, particularly in a country where drug cartels hold significant power. Supreme Court Chief Justice Norma Piña expressed concerns that judges might become more vulnerable to intimidation and bribery as a result of this change. Despite the controversy, Obrador maintains that the reform will dismantle a judiciary that serves the powerful at the expense of ordinary citizens. 


The reform will require around 1,600 judges, including those on Mexico’s Supreme Court, to stand for election as early as 2025 or 2027. While other countries such as the U.S. and Bolivia have similar systems for some judicial positions, Mexico's decision to apply this across all levels marks a unique approach to judicial selection on the global stage.
