 New UK Prime Minister not the leader Britain needs — Kemi Badenoch UK Conservative Party leader, Kemi Badenoch, has congratulated Andy Burnham on becoming Britain’s new prime minister but said while he is “a nice man,” the country needs a leader capable of making difficult decisions rather than “a people pleaser.” In a statement released on Monday on X following Burnham’s assumption of office, Badenoch wished the new prime minister success but vowed to hold his government accountable as Leader of the Opposition. “Today, Britain has a new Prime Minister. I wish Andy Burnham every success. Because we need a Prime Minister and a Government focused on fixing the public’s priorities,” she said. Badenoch said her role was “to hold the Prime Minister to account, not to be his cheer leader.” “My job as Leader of the Opposition, is to hold the Prime Minister to account, not to be his cheer leader.

 Ebonyi Governor Suspends 25 Commissioners, 62 Aides for Missing State Function


Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State has suspended 25 commissioners and 62 aides for failing to attend a state-organized function, describing their absence as an act of insubordination and neglect of duty. The announcement was made on Monday during a state executive council meeting in Abakaliki, sparking widespread reactions across the state.


According to a statement from the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Monday Uzor, the suspended officials include key members of the State Executive Council and senior aides, whose absence from the event was deemed a breach of protocol and commitment to governance. The state function, reportedly a civic reception for a prominent Ebonyi indigene recently honored at the federal level, was intended to showcase unity and solidarity within the state’s leadership.


Governor Nwifuru, in a strongly worded address, emphasized the importance of loyalty and active participation in state activities. “If you are a commissioner or aide, your presence at state functions is non-negotiable. This administration will not tolerate absenteeism or disregard for official duties,” he stated. The suspensions take effect immediately, with affected officials required to hand over all government property in their possession within 48 hours.


The statement further clarified that the suspensions will last for an initial period of one month, pending a review by a disciplinary committee set up to investigate the circumstances surrounding each official’s absence. Sources close to the government suggest that some suspended officials have cited personal emergencies or scheduling conflicts, but the governor has insisted on strict accountability.


This is not the first time Governor Nwifuru has taken decisive action against perceived lapses in his administration. In 2024, he sacked three commissioners for alleged financial misconduct, signaling a zero-tolerance stance on governance issues. Political analysts suggest this latest move may be aimed at consolidating authority and ensuring alignment within his administration as Ebonyi prepares for significant developmental projects in 2025.


The government has urged residents to remain supportive as it works to uphold transparency and efficiency. Meanwhile, the suspended officials have yet to issue public statements, and the disciplinary committee is expected to commence investigations within the week.
