ALLEGED WIRETAPPING: COURT REJECTS EL-RUFAI’S NO-CASE SUBMISSION, ORDERS HIM TO ENTER DEFENCE A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, to enter his defence, if he so desires, in his ongoing trial over the alleged unlawful interception of the telephone communications of the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu. Justice Joyce Abdulmalik gave the order on Monday while ruling on El-Rufai’s no-case submission. The judge dismissed the application, holding that the prosecution had presented sufficient evidence to warrant calling on the defendant to enter his defence. The court adjourned the case until November 25 for the defence.

 Labour Party Remains Voice for the Voiceless, Says Abure


Julius Abure, factional chairman of the Labour Party (LP), has reaffirmed the party’s commitment to representing Nigeria’s voiceless and marginalized citizens. Speaking on Thursday during the inauguration of the Directorate of Physically Challenged Persons in Abuja, Abure emphasized that the LP stands apart from other political parties by empowering those typically overlooked in society.


Citing the example of a commercial motorcyclist, popularly known as an ‘okada man,’ who won a House of Representatives seat in the 2023 general elections, Abure highlighted the party’s dedication to uplifting disadvantaged groups, including those with physical or financial disabilities. “The Labour Party is for those who have no voice, those who ordinarily would not be recognized in the scheme of things,” he stated.


Abure stressed that the LP’s social democratic principles prioritize inclusivity, empowering individuals regardless of gender, physical condition, or economic status. “We look out for those people and empower them,” he said, noting that only the Labour Party provides a platform where someone like an okada rider can achieve high political office.


He further explained that disabilities extend beyond physical limitations, encompassing barriers created by Nigeria’s exploitative political landscape. “If you have the potential to develop your community, the leadership capacity, and passion for growth but are held back by exploitative politics, the Labour Party is your destination,” Abure declared.


The LP chairman called for internal transformation within the party, stating, “If we say we are going to change the country, charity should begin at home. To change Nigeria, you must change yourself first.” He also pledged to ensure that those with physical disabilities are supported, reinforcing the party’s commitment to inclusivity and change.
