 Former Kennedy Center employees allege leadership delayed roof repairs before citing safety issues in closure decision Former Kennedy Center employees allege that the venue’s leadership knew about serious structural problems well before citing newly discovered hazards as the reason for its abrupt closure this month. The claims were outlined in a letter to Congress from a lawyer representing anonymous whistleblowers. The letter accuses the center’s executive director and chief operating officer, Matt Floca, of failing to prioritize roof repairs and stopping a funded repair plan in April. Floca disputes the allegations, saying recent inspections revealed that water damage had spread farther into the building than officials previously knew. In a September court declaration, Floca cited “acute risks to public safety” following an inspection that found deterioration in a roof terrace canopy and a partial ceiling collapse.

GOVERNOR LAWAL CONCLUDES CONSULTATION, DUMPS PDP FOR APC OVER PARTY'S IRRECONCILABLE CRISIS


Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, has decided to dump the People's Democratic Party (PDP) for the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) over the irreconcilable PDP's internal crisis.


The decision was reached during a stakeholders' meeting chaired by the State Deputy Governor, Malam Mani Mummuni, on Monday in the Rescue Hall, Government House, Gusau.


In January, Governor Lawal launched a state-wide stakeholders engagement under a committee led by an elder statesman, Alhaji Salihu Mai Buhu Gummi, to chart the state's next political course amidst PDP's deepening crisis and INEC's looming timelines for the 2027 general elections.


Majority of the stakeholders advised the Governor to join APC, citing the need for unity in bringing development to the state.


"Following your inputs and careful consideration, including the need for elite consensus towards addressing the state's security challenges, His Excellency, Governor Dauda Lawal, has decided to join APC," the Deputy Governor announced on behalf of Governor Lawal.


"From now onwards, we become members of APC. And by this declaration therefore , you are hereby directed to resign your PDP membership immediately.


"E-registration for APC will reopen tomorrow. I urge you to go and register as we target 400,000 additional progressive members in the next 17 days in the state," he added.


In his remarks, the Secretary to the State Government, Malam Abubakar Mohammad Nakwada, pledged the state government's backing, saying executive members and political appointees are in total agreement with Governor Lawal's decision to join APC.


Governor Lawal thanked the PDP for the opportunity to serve as its governorship flag bearer in 2023, saying that he worked hard to reconcile the party, but efforts were unsuccessful.


He further expressed gratitude to the people of Zamfara state for their support and goodwill, assuring that the rescue agenda will remain on track despite party switch.
