Trump issues pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer after insider trading conviction    President Donald Trump has issued a full pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer, who served nearly two years in prison after being convicted of insider trading tied to post-congressional consulting work. Buyer was sentenced in 2023 to 22 months in prison for illegal stock trades made while working as a consultant and lobbyist. He was ordered to forfeit more than $350,000 in ill-gotten gains and pay a $10,000 fine. He was released from custody in 2025 after his conviction was upheld, with the Supreme Court declining to take up his appeal earlier this year. In issuing the pardon, Trump described Buyer’s service as a judge advocate general in the U.S. Army and his time in Congress as “distinguished and highly productive.” The pardon, dated Thursday and released by the White House on Friday, grants Buyer “a full, complete, and unconditional pardon.” Buyer has maint...

 Tinubu Taken to ECOWAS Court Over Rivers State Emergency Rule


The federal government, led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has been sued at the ECOWAS Court of Justice in Abuja over the declaration of a state of emergency and the suspension of elected officials in Rivers State.


Legal Challenge Against Emergency Rule


In a suit filed on March 20, 2025 (ECW/CCJ/APP/18/25), the applicants are seeking a court order to nullify the suspension of elected officials and the removal of democratic structures in Rivers State.


The plaintiffs, Harry Ibiso and 11 others, along with the Eastern Zone of the Ijaw Youth Council, also demand the cancellation of all decisions, policies, and directives issued by the Sole Administrator, retired Vice Admiral Ibokette Ibas, who was appointed by President Tinubu on March 18.


Claim: Tinubu Lacked Authority to Remove Elected Officials


The applicants argue that President Tinubu, as an elected official, lacks the constitutional authority to remove or suspend a state governor, who was also democratically elected.


They claim the removal of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy Ngozi Odu, and members of the Rivers State House of Assembly violated their fundamental rights and those of the state’s residents.


“The action has stripped the people of Rivers State of their democratic rights and human dignity, effectively disenfranchising them,” the applicants stated.


They further argued that a state of emergency should not serve as a pretext for executive overreach, allowing the usurpation of a governor’s powers or the legislative authority of the state assembly.


Court Yet to Fix Hearing Date


The case, backed by constitutional lawyer Festus Ogwuche, is yet to be scheduled for a hearing.


Meanwhile, Tinubu’s emergency rule in Rivers State was ratified by the National Assembly on Thursday, despite opposition protests. Vice Admiral Ibas has since assumed office as the state’s sole administrator.
