 Russia launches massive drone and missile barrage on Ukraine, killing at least 18 civilians and striking Kyiv and multiple cities  Russia carried out a large-scale overnight assault on Ukraine, launching hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles that killed at least 18 civilians and wounded more than 100 others across multiple cities, officials said Tuesday. The strikes hit Kyiv, Dnipro and other regions, with emergency crews working through destroyed residential buildings where some victims were trapped under rubble. In Dnipro, rescuers recovered the bodies of a 3-year-old child and a mother and her 8-year-old son, while officials reported 12 deaths in the city and six in Kyiv. The bombardment stretched from night into daylight, with explosions reported across wide areas of the country. Kyiv residents had been on alert for days after warnings of a major aerial attack, including advisories for foreign diplomats to leave the capital. Despite those warnings, most remained in pl...

 Trade Fair Demolition: Peter Obi’s Hypocrisy and His Free Fall into Political Ridicule


The attention of the Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to yet another unsolicited sermon from Mr. Peter Obi, urging the Lagos State Government to “temper law with compassion” in the ongoing demolition of illegal structures at the Lagos International Trade Fair Complex.


Ordinarily, we would have ignored Obi’s latest outburst, but his trademark hypocrisy deserves to be called out. The same Peter Obi who, as Governor of Anambra State, ordered the demolition of illegal structures - including markets, shops, and residential buildings - without batting an eyelid, now seeks to play the saint when Lagos enforces the law. At that time, he offered neither compassion nor consultation. Today, he suddenly discovers empathy when it suits his politics of deceit and opportunism.


It is clear that Mr. Obi’s politics thrives on selective morality and deliberate mischief. His attempt to politicize a straightforward urban planning enforcement exercise is shameful, deceitful, and unbecoming of a man who once governed a state. Lagos, under Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has demonstrated compassion, patience, and due process in handling these matters - including multiple warnings and engagement with stakeholders - before enforcement. No responsible government can look away while illegal structures endanger lives, obstruct development, and compromise public safety.


At this point in time, Mr. Obi should be more concerned about his place in history, considering his free-flowing descent into the ridiculous in the name of politics. His every statement these days drips with desperation and confusion - the hallmark of a man who has lost direction and now feeds off public emotion to stay relevant. He will do well to stop taking advice from mad men whose only claim to political relevance is to shout the loudest against Lagos and President Bola Tinubu.


For the avoidance of doubt, Lagos will not be lectured on governance by political drifters who mistake noise for substance. The state remains a model of lawful governance, strategic urban renewal, and genuine compassion - not the selective theatrics that define Obi’s brand of politics.


We advise Mr. Obi to focus on salvaging his rapidly crumbling political image and the disillusioned ranks of his restless followers. Lagos will continue to enforce its laws without fear or favour while keeping faith with the ideals of order, safety, and progress that have made it a benchmark of good governance in Nigeria.
