 NUT Protest : Wike Warns Against Politicising Insecurity The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has warned against politicising insecurity amid protests by the Nigeria Union of Teachers, FCT wing, over the killing and abduction of school staff and children in Oyo State. Teachers stormed the FCTA Secretariat in Abuja to condemn the killing of Michael Oyedokun and to demand the release of abducted pupils and teachers from Community High School, Ahoro-Esinle in Oriire Local Government Area. The FCT minister addressed the protesters on Tuesday, saying the federal government is on its toes working to secure the rescue of the schoolchildren and their teachers. Wike urged protesters to avoid turning the tragedy into a political issue and to give security efforts time to produce results. Chairman of the union in the FCT, Mr Abdullahi Shafa, explained that the nationwide solidarity protest was to condemn the killing of the teacher and abduction of the school chil...

EARLY VOTING KICKS OFF IN CHAD'S ELECTION BOYCOTTED BY OPPOSITION. (PHOTO).

 Early voting kicks off in Chad's election boycotted by opposition


Chad's military and nomads voted on Saturday in general elections that are portrayed by the president as a key step in a transition to democracy but are boycotted by opposition parties, AFP reported.


For most people in the Sahel nation, the elections to select a national parliament, regional assemblies and local councils will take place on Sunday from 6:00 am to 5:00 pm.


But members of the armed forces and nomadic tribes were summoned to vote on Saturday for logistical reasons.


The opposition has dismissed the elections as a sham.


"No campaign, no vote on December 29. Stay at home and ask others to do the same," the main opposition Transformers party urged voters via Facebook.


Nevertheless, around 45 percent of the country's 200,000 nomads and 45,000 soldiers had cast their ballots by midday, according to initial estimates.


Military personnel began arriving early at a polling station in Koundoul barracks near the capital N'Djamena, AFP saw.


"Voting is proceeding normally. The military are voting freely," senior election management official Ousmane Houzibe said.


There was a similar turnout at a nearby nomad camp along a transhumance route.


"The nomads came to ask the people who will be elected tomorrow to improve their living conditions," said sheikh Djibrine Hassabakarim, one of their representatives.


He said climate change had made life hard for his community, killing livestock, triggering clashes with sedentary farmers and making it hard for them to feed their families.


Voting is taking place against a backdrop of recurring attacks by militant group Boko Haram in the Lake Chad region, the ending of a military accord with former colonial master France, and accusations that Chad is interfering in the conflict ravaging neighbouring Sudan.


The government of President Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno has presented the weekend elections as a key stage in the transition to democratic rule.


The 40-year-old Mahamat Deby took power in 2021 after the death of his father, Idriss Deby Itno, who had ruled the Sahel country for three decades.


Deby junior won a five-year presidential mandate last May.


The last legislative elections date back to 2011.
