Military Vows to Crush Any Plot to Disrupt Edo Governorship Election
Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, has issued a stern warning to individuals or groups planning to incite unrest before, during, or after the upcoming gubernatorial election in Edo State.
Speaking on Wednesday, the CDS emphasized that any such attempts to disrupt the election process should be abandoned.
General Musa made it clear that the military has been given a direct mandate from the President to maintain peace and ensure that the election in the South-South state is conducted in a free, fair, and credible manner.
He highlighted the military’s readiness to enforce stability and protect the integrity of the election, reassuring the public that the security forces would act swiftly against any threats to the electoral process.
Musa’s remarks are part of broader efforts to guarantee a smooth and transparent election, with the military playing a crucial role in maintaining law and order throughout the process.
The CDS stressed that any attempts to manipulate the electoral process or create chaos would not be tolerated, and the military is fully prepared to respond to such actions.
He called on all political actors and citizens to respect the rule of law and allow the will of the people to prevail.
With the election approaching, the military’s presence is set to reinforce the commitment to upholding democracy and ensuring that voters can exercise their rights without fear or interference.
An update has been shared on the burnt building at Balogun Market on Lagos Island, as it was revealed that a man was rescued 11 days after the building caught fire.
According to reports, the man was found alive on January 6, 2026, after being discovered under the rubble of the collapsed structure.
The survivor has since been taken for proper medical care, while further details are yet to be released.
Meanwhile, passersby and market traders have expressed concern, fearing that more people may still be trapped alive inside the building.
It has been reported that Anthony Joshua has officially been discharged from the hospital following the terrible car crash that claimed the lives of his two closest friends and supporters.
The boxing star was deemed stable enough to go home after the accident. After his discharge, he visited the funeral to pay his respects and see the bodies of his two friends.
Many have expressed grief and offered their support to the boxing star, praying that he will be able to find peace, as grief will undoubtedly be one of the most painful challenges he will face in life.
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
