 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.

 North Korea fires multiple ballistic missiles in second launch in two days as tensions with South Korea escalate

  

 North Korea launched multiple short-range ballistic missiles into its eastern waters on Wednesday, marking its second round of weapons tests in just two days and escalating tensions with South Korea. According to South Korea’s military, several missiles were fired from the eastern coastal city of Wonsan, each traveling roughly 240 kilometers, followed later by another missile that flew more than 700 kilometers before landing outside Japan’s exclusive economic zone. Officials said the launches did not pose an immediate threat to the United States or its allies but emphasized that forces remain prepared to respond to any provocation. A separate launch detected a day earlier from North Korea’s capital region appeared to fail shortly after liftoff.

The missile activity came alongside increasingly hostile rhetoric from Pyongyang, which signaled it has no intention of improving relations with Seoul. A senior North Korean official described South Korea as its “most hostile enemy state” and mocked its leadership for pursuing dialogue. While Kim Yo Jong, the sister of leader Kim Jong Un, recently acknowledged remarks from South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, she also warned of retaliation over alleged drone flights. North Korea has continued expanding its military capabilities following the collapse of diplomacy with President Donald Trump in 2019, strengthening ties with countries like China and Russia. Recent developments include a test of an upgraded solid-fuel engine, which analysts believe could support more advanced intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of carrying multiple warheads, though experts remain skeptical about the country’s current technological capabilities.
