Kansas driver’s license law puts some transgender residents in ID limbo A new Kansas law has effectively invalidated the driver’s licenses and other government-issued documents of transgender residents, leaving many in legal and personal limbo. Senate Bill 244, which went into effect immediately after the legislature overrode Gov. Laura Kelly’s veto, requires that the gender listed on a driver’s license align with the state’s binary definition of male and female. The law also directs the state registrar to “correct” birth certificates that do not match these definitions. Unlike similar restrictions in other states, Kansas’ law retroactively invalidates previously issued documents. Legal advocates warn that the law threatens the privacy and safety of transgender residents, forcing them to disclose their gender identity in situations ranging from employment applications to renting property or opening bank accounts.

 Adighije Urges Abia APC Members to Oust Underperforming Leaders Ahead of 2026 Congress


Former Senator representing Abia Central, Chris Adighije, has called on members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Umuahia South Local Government Area and across Abia State to vote out non-performing party executives during the upcoming 2026 party congress.


Speaking at a stakeholders' meeting in Umuahia South LGA, Adighije emphasized the need to remove officials who foster division and undermine the party's interests, warning that such leaders should not be re-elected.


He raised concerns that certain party members are plotting to expel him for "speaking the truth," while stressing that the APC must rectify the shortcomings that led to poor performance in the 2023 elections in Umuahia South and the state at large.


Adighije declared his commitment to securing a comprehensive victory for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, stating, "I charge you to vote out those executives who did not perform. Use your votes to remove them during the congress. The poor performance we had in 2023 here will not be allowed to happen again."


He urged party faithful to deliver their polling units in 2027 and cautioned against internal sabotage.


The former senator also predicted that Labour Party's 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, would lose to President Tinubu again should he contest in 2027.


Additionally, Adighije clarified that his daughter, Jennifer Adighije, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC), has no intention of resigning to run for the House of Representatives seat in 2027.
