Verydarkman Urges State of Emergency and Fuel Price Cut Amid Escalating FCT Protests
Capital Territory (FCT). As demonstrations grow increasingly intense and disruptive, concerns are mounting about the potential for further violence and instability.
The situation has prompted urgent calls for a decisive response from the highest levels of government. Verydarkman has called on the President to take immediate action by declaring a state of emergency.
This step, he argues, is crucial for regaining control and ensuring the safety and security of the citizens affected by the unrest.
By invoking emergency powers, the government would be able to implement measures more swiftly and effectively to address the crisis.
In addition to declaring a state of emergency, Verydarkman recommends that the President convene a high-level meeting with the service chiefs.
This meeting would be an opportunity to evaluate the current situation, develop a coordinated response strategy, and deploy resources where they are most needed.
The collaboration of security forces and other relevant authorities is deemed essential for restoring order and preventing further escalation.
Another critical aspect of the response proposed by Verydarkman is addressing the economic grievances that may be contributing to the unrest.
To alleviate some of the public discontent, he suggests reducing fuel prices to N150.
This measure, he believes, could help ease the financial burden on the average citizen and potentially reduce the level of frustration fueling the protests.
By lowering fuel costs, the government could provide immediate relief to the populace and help stabilize the broader economic environment.

Edo Governor Forms Committee to Investigate Obaseki’s Assets and Liabilities
Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo has announced the formation of a 14-member State Assets Verification Committee to investigate the administration of former governor Godwin Obaseki.
The committee is tasked with auditing the state’s assets and liabilities as part of efforts to promote transparency and ensure good governance.
Fred Itua, the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, revealed this in a statement issued on Sunday in Benin City.
He noted that the committee members would officially begin their work on Tuesday, November 26, when they will be inaugurated.
The committee is chaired by Dr. Ernest Umakhihe, with Anslem Ojezua serving as the deputy chairman and Frank Edebor as the secretary.
Other notable members include Prince Kassim Afegbua, Patrick Ikhariale, and Taiwo Akerele, alongside Patrick Idiake, Rasaq Bello-Osagie.
Also, Fredrick Unopah, Mrs. Abdallah Eugenia, Patrick Obahiagbon, Kenny Okojie, Mrs. Lyndsey Tes-Sorae, and Abass Braimoh.
Additionally, the governor emphasized that the committee’s work is essential for setting Edo State on a path of sustainable development and responsible leadership.
According to the statement, the previous administration under Godwin Obaseki had failed to provide a comprehensive database of the state’s assets and liabilities, despite repeated demands for accountability.
The limited information presented by the Obaseki administration, according to Governor Okpebholo, left many critical questions unanswered regarding the management of public resources.
Governor Okpebholo noted that this move aligns with his campaign pledge to promote probity, accountability, and transparency in governance.
The committee, he said, consists of esteemed individuals from Edo State, and have expertise and commitment to the state’s progress.
Dr. Ernest Umakhihe, the chairman of the committee, is expected to lead the team in conducting a thorough examination of the state’s resources, financial obligations, and the overall state of affairs inherited from the previous administration.
