 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.

 STATEHOUSE PRESS STATEMENT 


PRESIDENT TINUBU: SOLUDO'S RE-ELECTION AFFIRMATION OF HIS VISIONARY LEADERSHIP

 

I congratulate Professor Chukwuma Soludo on his re-election as the governor of Anambra State.


The overwhelming victory he recorded in Saturday's poll has now made him the third governor in the state's political history to win a second term. 


I must also congratulate the people of Anambra State, the security agencies and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on the peaceful and successful conduct of the governorship election.


Professor Soludo's re-election is a testament to his visionary leadership and the significant progress the state has made under his guidance.


Governor Soludo, the Solution, has demonstrated that indeed knowledge is power and that academic principles can be applied in serving the people, undergirding accountability, transparency and prudent management of people and resources.


I visited Anambra State in May this year, where I inaugurated some projects executed by the Soludo administration. I  highlighted the good thinking behind the landmark projects being embarked upon by Mr Solution. That experience is indeed remarkable and will remain indelible in my mind.


I commend Governor Soludo for bringing discipline, grace, brilliance, and a fresh perspective to governance in Anambra.  Under him,  Anambra is living up to its motto as the Light of the Nation. 


I urge Governor Soludo to be magnanimous in victory and to seek the cooperation of his opponents in the just-concluded elections.


I assure Governor Soludo of my unwavering support, and I look forward to continued collaboration between Anambra and the Federal Government.


The victory of the opposition All Grand Progressives Alliance in the election again demonstrates the vitality of our political system and the fact that victory for any progressive and hardworking leader can hardly be encumbered or denied.


I must also thank the new INEC Chairman, Professor Joash Amupitan, and his team for conducting what observers have described as a credible election, based on the reports I have received thus far.


I charge the commission with maintaining the standards and further improving its performance, so we can continue to strengthen and deepen our electoral system. 


Bola Ahmed Tinubu,

President & Commander-in-Chief.
