 Anti-Tinubu comments: ACF suspends chairman as Afenifere, others back President The Arewa Consultative Forum on Thursday suspended its chairman Mamman Osuman following widespread reactions across the country, after the northern body’s criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s policies, saying it had impoverished the North. The ACF, in a statement, added that the interests of the North would be best represented by northerners. However, Yoruba socio-political Afenifere, Igbo socio-cultural body Ohanaeze Ndigbo and other regional groups backed the President insisting his predecessor Muhammadu Buhari laid the marker for the hardship in the country.

 Rivers crisis threat to national security –Natasha


The Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has asked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to intervene in the political crisis rocking Rivers State, describing it as a threat to national security and stability.


The lawmaker in a statement on Tuesday by her Chief Press Secretary, Arogbonlo Israel, also asked the FCT Minister and former Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, to allow his successor, Governor Sim Fubara, to govern the state as mandated by the constitution.


 Wike and Fubara have been at daggers drawn over the control of politics and governance in Rivers, a development which ignited political crisis in the state.


The crisis has led to killings of innocent citizens, burning down of government institutions, defection of some politicians in the state from one political party to another and breakdown of law and order.


Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan emphasised the need for presidential intervention to protect citizens’ lives and property, ensure neutrality of state institutions to promote peace and justice and prevent further escalation of the crisis.


She said, “The situation in Rivers demands urgent attention, and I implore Mr President to take decisive action to prevent further escalation. We cannot afford to watch as the crisis deepens, threatening the stability of the region. President Tinubu’s leadership is crucial in resolving this impasse.


“If left unchecked, the crisis may undermine Nigeria’s democratic progress, embolden perpetrators of violence and electoral malpractices, and threaten national security and stability.”
