INEC Mourns Ogun REC Olaniyi Ijalaye, Who Passed Away After Abuja Meeting
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced with great sorrow the passing of Mr Olaniyi Ijalaye, the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) for Ogun State.
In a statement issued by Mr Sam Olumekun, the National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee, INEC extended its heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family of the late REC.
The commission prayed for the repose of his soul and asked for divine comfort for his loved ones during this difficult time. Mr. Ijalaye, originally from Owo in Ondo State, was born in 1958.
He completed his undergraduate studies with a Bachelor’s degree in Law (LLB) from the University of Ife, now known as Obafemi Awolowo University, in 1982. He was subsequently called to the Nigerian Bar (BL) in 1983.
Continuing his academic journey, he earned a Master’s degree in Law (LLM) from the same institution in 1995. His contributions to the electoral process and his dedication to his role at INEC will be remembered and deeply missed.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
