 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.

 Marafa confirms resignation from APC


Senator Kabiru Marafa has confirmed his resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC). The former Tinubu/Shettima 2023 Presidential Campaign Coordinator in Zamfara State disclosed this via a text message on Sunday.


Marafa’s confirmation came after his political structure held a meeting in last Wednesday/ Thursday, where leaders unanimously resolved to dump the APC over what they described as injustice, neglect, and worsening insecurity in Zamfara State. In a communiqué issued at the end of the meeting, the group expressed grave concern over the deteriorating security situation, citing recent statistics that placed Zamfara as the state with the highest number of kidnapping cases in the country.


The group also accused the Federal Government of politicizing insecurity during the recent Kaura Namoda bye-election, alleging that security forces were deployed to secure APC’s electoral victory rather than protect lives. On political appointments, Marafa’s loyalists faulted what they termed deliberate marginalization of Zamfara, despite the state’s contribution to APC’s 2023 presidential victory.


They noted that while other states in the North-West secured multiple ministerial slots, Zamfara got only one, and communities devastated by banditry attacks have received little or no federal intervention. The statement, signed by Comrade Bashir Muhammad Mafara (Chairman) and Dr. Mannir Bature Tsafe (Secretary), added that the group will soon announce its next political direction in line with the aspirations of Zamfara people.
