 Family and neighbors mourn woman shot by ICE agent after making Minneapolis her home  Before she was fatally shot by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, 37-year-old Renee Good had just dropped her youngest child off at an elementary school in Minneapolis, the city she and her family had recently begun to call home. As Trump administration officials continued Thursday to describe Good as a domestic terrorist who tried to ram federal agents with her Honda Pilot, those who knew her remembered someone very different: a gentle, kind, and openhearted mother, wife, and neighbor. Good, her wife and her 6-year-old son had recently moved from Kansas City, Missouri, to a quiet Minneapolis neighborhood lined with older homes and small apartment buildings.

JUNE 12 ANNULMENT LED NIGERIANS TO LOSE FAITH IN ELECTIONS- DUROTOYE. (PHOTO).


 

Fela Durotoye, a former presidential candidate, has condemned the annulment of the June 12, 1993, presidential election by Ibrahim Babangida, saying it had a devastating impact on Nigeria's trajectory as a nation. Durotoye, who was the presidential candidate of the defunct Alliance for New Nigeria, stated that the annulment led Nigerians to conclude that their votes don't count, resulting in electoral apathy.


"The annulment of the June 12 election embedded the notion that 'our votes don't count' into the consciousness of the people," Durotoye said. "This has led to a situation where the majority have become the minority, with only a fraction of registered voters participating in elections."


Durotoye identified four types of votes - mobilized votes, monetized votes, manufactured votes, and manipulated votes - and noted that these categories were not enough to account for even half of the total registered voters in the 2023 general election.


Recently, Babangida admitted in his memoir that Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (MKO) Abiola won the June 12 election, a revelation that has sparked public conversations. Babangida's admission comes 32 years after he annulled the election, citing "extreme national interest."
