 Usman Emerges Labour Party National Chairman, Makes History as First Woman to Lead Party The Labour Party on Tuesday elected Nenadi Usman as its National Chairman at the party’s national convention held in Umuahia, Abia State. With her emergence, Usman becomes the first woman to be elected National Chairman of a political party in Nigeria. Usman had previously been appointed to head the party’s National Caretaker Committee on September 4, 2024, during a National Executive Committee meeting in Umuahia, following a leadership vacuum created by the expiration of the tenure of the former National Working Committee. She led the party through a period of internal disputes, with her leadership later affirmed by both the Federal High Court and the Court of Appeal in rulings delivered in January and April 2026 respectively.

AN INDIANA SCHOOL BUS DRIVER WAS "LOOKING AT HER PHONE", CAUSING A CRASH THAT LEFT THE BUS ON ITS SIDE AND A STUDENT WITH MINOR INJURIES. (PHOTO).


 An Indiana school bus driver was "looking at her phone", causing a crash that left the bus on its side and a student with minor injuries. 


At approximately 9:30 a.m. on Monday, April 6th, deputies with the Stueben County Sheriff's Department were called to an accident involving a school bus.


When authorities arrived on the scene, they discovered a Metropolitan School District of Stueben County bus overturned on the west side of South County Road East. 


Thankfully there were no serious injuries and only the driver, 71-year-old Jennie Hammond, and a 19-year-old student were aboard the bus at the time of the accident. Both Jennie and the student were able to exit the bus on their own following the accident.


The student was transported to Cameron Hospital due to minor injuries. 


Alcohol is not believed to be a factor. However a review of surveillance video from the bus showed Jennie Hammond seemingly distracted by her cellphone causing the bus to drift of off the roadway. This caused the driver's side tires to leave the pavement pulling the bus into the roadside ditch and then overturning. 


Jennie Hammond was given a citation for using a telecommunication device while operating a motor vehicle.


Don't drive distracted. It can wait.
