 Atiku pledges scholarship to viral Niger teen miner Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Sunday said his “heart breaks” each time he watches a viral video of a teenage artisanal miner, Yusuf Aliyu, speaking at a mining site in Niger State after the deaths of 37 miners in the state. Atiku, in a statement posted on his X handle, said he was prepared to support the boy’s education, describing him as a child whose intelligence and confidence should be nurtured in a classroom rather than by working at a mining site. “I have watched Yusuf Aliyu’s video repeatedly, and each time, my heart breaks. A child with such intelligence, clarity and confidence should be in a classroom building his future—not struggling for survival in a community surrounded by gold but buried in poverty. “I cannot look at him and see an ‘illegal miner.’ I see a Nigerian child failed by the country that should have protected him. I see brilliance trapped by poverty and enormous promise abandoned by leadership,” ...

 I Won’t Condemn Chief Dan Ulasi Because He Was in a Struggle Against the Marginalization of Igbo People- Victor Umeh


According to a report by SYMFONI on December 7, 2025, Senator Victor Umeh, former National Chairman of APGA, offered an emotionally charged defense of Chief Dan Ulasi, declaring, “I will never condemn him, because he was in a struggle against the marginalization of Igbo people.” The senator made this striking remark while celebrating Ulasi’s 80th birthday. 


Chief Ulasi is a venerated elder statesman and former PDP State Chairman in Anambra. Umeh's words underscored a complex political landscape where fighting for ethnic rights, regardless of the outcome, earns enduring loyalty from peers.


Speaking on the national stage, Umeh acknowledged that Chief Dan Ulasi had faced severe setbacks, leading some within the Igbo nation to condemn him or lose faith. However, Umeh insisted that Ulasi’s actions were driven by a higher purpose, a necessary resistance against the perceived marginalization of the Igbo people within Nigeria. 


For Umeh, the validity of the cause transcends any judgment on the struggle’s ultimate success or current status. He argued that it is improper for any Igbo person to speak ill of someone who acted on behalf of the collective group.


Umeh praised Chief Ulasi for embodying the same courage and conviction, recounting how Ulasi, a former Biafran soldier who still carries a war wound, consistently champions Igbo identity on national television, often risking offense to those with opposing views. Umeh explicitly connected his own political ethos to Ulasi’s example, noting, “The way I do some of the things I do, I learned from you politically.” 


The senator further revealed that Ulasi went on national television to demand the release of the figure Umeh defended, highlighting a shared commitment to speaking truth to power and advocating for those perceived to be victims of injustice. This powerful solidarity, Umeh concluded, defines the political legacy they both cherish.
