Tinubu Calls for Peace and Fairness in Ondo Governorship Election
President Bola Tinubu has urged political stakeholders and the people of Ondo State to prioritize peace and responsible behavior as the state prepares for its governorship election.
He emphasized the importance of a free and fair process to uphold Nigeria’s democratic legacy, which has spanned over 25 years.
This call was made in a statement released by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy.
Tinubu appealed to political leaders, candidates, and voters to ensure that their actions reflect respect for democratic values, both during and after the election.
He highlighted the critical role of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in maintaining credibility.
Tinubu commended INEC for its thorough preparations, including the early distribution of sensitive electoral materials across Ondo’s 18 local government areas.
He stated that this proactive step ensures the smooth running of the election and strengthens public trust in the process.
The President also expressed gratitude to the Inspector-General of Police and the Chief of Defence Staff for deploying security personnel to ensure a peaceful environment.
He emphasized the need for professionalism from these officers, urging them to strictly adhere to the provisions of the Electoral Act to guarantee a secure and impartial election.
In his statement, Tinubu reminded political stakeholders, particularly the candidates, that leadership is a privilege granted by the people.
He stressed that this privilege must be treated with the utmost respect, and the people’s right to choose their leaders freely must not be compromised.
He further encouraged all Nigerians to see the Ondo election as an opportunity to strengthen the nation’s democratic foundation.
According to him, peaceful and transparent elections are not just beneficial for the state but for the entire country’s political stability and progress.
The Federal Government has announced an extension of the NYSC programme. It can be noted that the NYSC camp orientation is usually for three weeks before the youths go out to gain experience, employment, and serve the country for one year.
However, the FG announced that the passing-out parade from camp will be cancelled, and corps members will now spend six weeks in camp instead of three weeks.
“The first two weeks speak to laying a foundation on civic responsibility. The next two weeks will look at career mapping, basic accounting literacy skills, business planning and access to finance. The final two weeks, we intend to have focused corps-stream-specific training aligned with the corps member’s designated stream based on his choice, academic background and skills profile.”
With the rainy season in Nigeria, many are wondering if the increase in flooding has now become the new normal. Lots of videos, clips, and complaints have literally flooded online, showing how badly roads, homes, and other places have been affected.
We were used to hearing about the rise of water on the Island since it is literally surrounded by water, but now floods are being spotted on the Mainland as well.
We may not know exactly why this is happening, but one thing is certain—we urgently need a lasting solution.
The federal government reacted to claims stating that the new tax rules will be imposed on telecommunications and petroleum products for Nigerians.
The FG released a statement to explain the process and stated that there is no intention to place taxes on telecom and petroleum products and services.
“Those recommendations do not amount to government policy and are not binding on Nigeria. Decisions on tax matters are taken through established constitutional and legislative processes and are guided by national priorities and prevailing economic realities.”
