 ‘It’s fallacy’ — NDC rep chides Oshiomhole over remark on Obi’s security record as governor Afam Ogene, a member of the house of representatives, has described a recent remark by Adams Oshiomhole, senator representing Edo north, against Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), as “fallacy”. In an interview on Seun Okinbaloye’s podcast, Oshiomhole said Edo was safer when he was governor than Anambra was during Obi’s administration. The senator was the governor of Edo from 2008 to 2016, while Obi governed Anambra between 2006 and 2014 before handing over to Willie Obiano. In a statement issued on Monday, Ogene, who is the leader of the NDC caucus in the house of representatives, said Oshiomhole’s comments are “brazen falsehood and deliberate misinformation”. “Senator Oshiomhole’s revisionist attempt to rewrite history is both laughable and insulting to Nigerians who know the facts.

UGANDAN FORCES ARREST LAWYER OF OPPOSITION FIGURE FACING TREASON CHARGES, PARTY SAYS. (PHOTO).


 Ugandan forces arrest lawyer of opposition figure facing treason charges, party says


Ugandan security forces have arrested Erias Lukwago, a senior opposition figure ‌and lawyer representing detained People’s Front for Freedom party leader Kizza Besigye, who is on trial for treason, the PFF said on Monday.


Lukwago, formerly the mayor of the Ugandan capital Kampala, represents ​Besigye also in a related case, where he sued the country's military chief ​Muhoozi Kainerugaba for repeatedly threatening his life on social media. Kainerugaba ⁠is the son of Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni.


Lukwago was picked up at his ​home, the PFF party said in a post on the X platform, Reuters reported.


"We wish to ​inform the general public ... that our executive chairman, counsel Erias Lukwago has been abducted by state operatives and taken to an unknown destination," PFF said.


Uganda's biggest opposition figure, pop singer-turned-politician Bobi Wine, who is ​in exile in the United States, said on X that soldiers acting on Kainerugaba's ​orders had seized Lukwago as he was preparing to serve a court summons to the military ‌chief.


Kainerugaba, well-known to Ugandans for his incendiary social media posts, has repeatedly threatened to kill Wine, the head of National Unity Platform - the ​biggest opposition party, ​who fled the country ⁠after losing a disputed presidential election in January.


On Monday, Kainerugaba vowed on X to arrest anyone who attempted to serve him court ​papers and said he had "captured a fool and taken him ​to the ⁠basement".


Later, he shared an image of a man resembling Erias Lukwago looking terrified, with the palms of his hands placed on his temples. In another post, he said he ⁠was "proud of ​all the hurt and pain" he would inflict ​on "the criminal Lukwago".


In May 2025, Kainerugaba had said he was holding a missing opposition official in his basement and ​threatened to castrate him.
