Ogun Governor Visits INEC to Mourn Late Resident Electoral Commissioner
On Wednesday, Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun visited the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to extend his condolences to the staff following the death of Niyi Ijalaye, the state’s resident electoral commissioner.
During his visit, Governor Abiodun described Ijalaye as a compassionate and unassuming individual who consistently upheld the principles of truth and fairness in his role.
He reflected on Ijalaye’s significant contributions to the state’s democratic processes, noting that his calm and principled approach was instrumental throughout the election cycle—before, during, and after the elections.
Governor Abiodun expressed deep sorrow over Ijalaye’s passing, highlighting his steadfast commitment to ensuring that INEC adhered to the highest standards of integrity.
“I want to recognize and honor this diligent man, whose dedication and perseverance were evident in every aspect of his work with the commission,” Abiodun stated.
In her remarks, Mrs. Rabiat Titilayo Akinola, the Director of Finance and Accounts at INEC in Ogun State, called on the state government to extend its support to both the family of the late REC and the commission during this challenging time.
She emphasized the need for continued assistance and solidarity as the commission and Ijalaye’s family navigate this period of loss.
The Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA) has alerted Nigerians residing in flood-prone areas to relocate, following the release of water from Cameroon’s Lagdo Dam into River Niger and River Benue.
The release, which began on September 18, 2024, poses flood risks to 11 states, including Adamawa, Kogi, Benue, and Bayelsa.
NIHSA urges individuals to clear drainages and avoid floodplains. This comes days after severe flooding in Borno killed over 30 people.
Israel admitted to initiating a “new era” of war after two consecutive days of explosive attacks targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon.
On Tuesday, pager explosions killed several, including children, and wounded over 2,800. A second wave on Wednesday, involving walkie-talkies and phones, killed at least 20 and injured 450.
One explosion occurred during a Hezbollah funeral, with reports suggesting Hezbollah’s elite Radwan unit was heavily impacted. Israel believes the death toll is higher than officially reported.
In a recent Instagram post, Nigerian entertainment figure Soso Soberekon advised women to focus on men with a clear vision and long-term plans instead of being swayed by physical attributes.
He highlighted that a big penis won’t raise children and encouraged women to seek meaningful relationships with partners who can build a future.
Soberekon’s message stirred a range of reactions online, sparking a lively conversation in the comments.
