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.
It has been reported that Niger State and some northern states have come together and agreed to take down 979 forests in order to strengthen national security.
This was revealed by the Niger State Governor, represented by his deputy, Yakubu Garba, at the passing-out parade in Mutum Daya.
He also shared that the government will support in any way they can in order to achieve this and strengthen security in Nigeria.
“The state will make necessary arrangements to support and empower the Forest Guard families for their service to the nation. We will provide them with adequate healthcare insurance scheme.”
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
