 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. Wike urged protesters to avoid turning the tragedy into a political issue and to give security efforts time to produce results.

Nasir El-Rufai Urges South-East Nigerians, Especially Women, to Prioritize Voter Registration


Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has called on residents of Nigeria’s South-East region, particularly women, to actively participate in the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise. Speaking at an event in Imo State on Saturday, El-Rufai emphasized the importance of voter registration as a civic duty essential for democratic participation.


Addressing the audience, El-Rufai highlighted the South-East’s lag in voter registration compared to other regions of Nigeria. “Looking at the numbers of the continuous voter registry in Nigeria in the last two weeks, the South East, including Imo State, of course, are lagging behind the rest of Nigeria,” he stated. He specifically urged Igbo mothers, sisters, and daughters to lead efforts in encouraging eligible voters, particularly those aged 16 and above who will be 18 by the next election, to register.


“Because the governance of our country today is democratic, we elect our leaders – we don’t select them, we don’t appoint them. So voting is important. Registering to vote is a civic duty,” El-Rufai said. “This is not a political imperative. It is a civil duty, which, as a citizen, you must take advantage of.”


The former governor’s appeal comes as Nigeria prepares for upcoming elections, with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) conducting the CVR to ensure eligible citizens are registered to vote. El-Rufai’s call to action underscores the need for greater civic engagement in the South-East to strengthen democratic participation in the region.
