 AU urges de-escalation as fighting displaces over 180,000 in South Sudan’s Jonglei state The Chairperson of the African Union Commission called for immediate de-escalation and strict adherence to South Sudan’s 2018 peace agreement, as renewed fighting in Jonglei State displaced more than 180,000 people and raised fears of further civilian harm. In a statement, African Union Commission Chairperson Mahmoud Ali Youssouf said he was deeply concerned by the deteriorating security situation in parts of the country, particularly Jonglei, where escalating violence and inflammatory rhetoric have put civilians—including women and children—at heightened risk. South Sudanese authorities estimate the number of displaced in Jonglei at more than 180,000, the United Nations humanitarian agency OCHA said last week.

 APGA Breaks Silence On Soludo’s Alleged Defection To APC


The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has addressed speculations that the governor of Anambra State, Charles Soludo might defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC)


The speculations comes after the defection of the governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah to the APC on Tuesday .


According to a report by Newsnaija,  APGA’s National Publicity Secretary, Mazi Ejimofor Opara, speaking with reporters in Awka, described fears of Soludo’s defection as baseless, inordinate, and completely unfounded.


Mazi Ejimofor said that Soludo remains deeply loyal to the APGA and has no intention of abandoning the platform that brought him to power.


“Governor Soludo is not only committed to APGA he embodies the spirit and ideology of our movement. There is absolutely no reason for him to defect. Anambra people should rest assured, Soludo is going nowhere.”


Opara attributed the ongoing defections from the PDP in the Southeast to long-standing internal crises.


He said that while the collapse of the PDP in the region was predictable, it does not in any way affect APGA’s political dominance in Anambra State.


He also clarified that APGA maintains a cordial relationship with the APC at the national level, emphasising that both parties share progressive ideologies and areas of mutual interest.According to him, this cooperation does not translate to defection or merger.


“Let it be clear, the APGA and the APC may be collaborating on certain progressive fronts, but that does not mean our members are defecting. There is no need for Governor Soludo to leave the APGA for any reason,” he stated.
