Groups Petition Tinubu Over Continuous Campaign Of Calumny Against Nigerian Army By Sahara Reporters

The Coalition of Society Groups Against Terrorism In Nigeria has petitioned the presidency on the continued media interference and campaign of Calumny against the Nigerian army by Sahara Reporters.
The group through it’s convener urged the presidency to take steps towards stopping the continued blitz by the online media organization, Sahara Reporters and its publisher, Mr Omoyele Sowore. who has continued to employ the use of fake news, propaganda and falsehood in perpetrating lies and unfounded reports and publications against Nigeria’s security agencies,  especially the Nigerian Army and its leadership, on classified matters involving the operational approaches of our military and other security agencies in the ongoing war against the remnants of the degraded Boko Haram terrorist group, bandits and all other enablers of violent crimes in the country.
Here is a copy of the petition as sent:
PETITION ON THE CONTINUED MEDIA INTERFERENCE AND CAMPAIGN OF CALUMNY AGAINST THE NIGERIAN ARMY BY SAHARA REPORTERS
(1) Sir, we the Coalition of Civil Society Groups Against Terrorism in Nigeria, bring you solidarity greetings and respectfully petition your good office, to please immediately act on behalf of our teeming members who are patriotic Nigerians, by taking steps towards stopping the continued blitz by an online media organization, Sahara Reporters and its publisher, one Mr Omoyele Sowore. He is a highly partisan individual, who has continued to employ the use of fake news, propaganda and falsehood in perpetrating lies and unfounded reports and publications against Nigeria’s security agencies,  especially the Nigerian Army and its leadership, on classified matters involving the operational approaches of our military and other security agencies in the ongoing war against the remnants of the degraded Boko Haram terrorist group, bandits and all other enablers of violent crimes in the country.
(2) Sir, as can be confirmed from a series of publications and reports by Sahara Reporters against the Nigerian Army, there is an indication of a strong sinister motive to undermine our nation’s national security policies through the instrumentality of fake news and to also destabilize our sustained efforts aimed at eradicating all forms of terror, violence and separatist activities which are threatening the unity and development of Nigeria.
(3) Sir, as patriotic Nigerians, we are increasingly worried about the various antics and activities of the platform Sahara Reporters and its promoters to incite Nigerians against the Nigerian Army and its leadership. It is becoming obvious that Sahara Reporters and its promoters have constituted themselves into a major opposition to the Nigerian State and our security agencies.
(4) Sir, we are really worried, and want to passionately appeal to your good office to interogate the actual motives of the promoters of Sahara Reporters  and its persistent destructive criticism of our security forces, who have spent the last few years working sometimes in extreme conditions towards ensuring that all forms of terrorism and violent crimes in the country are brought to a halt.
(5) Sir, as an independent non-govermental coalition, our observation shows that Sahara Reporters and its promoters are being used by some local and foreign interest to distract and undermine the Nigerian Army and its leadership while using the platform of Sahara Reporters to disseminate fake news and false narratives against the country, the Nigerian Army and more importantly to incite the personnel of the force against its leadership.
(6) Sir, we believe that broadcasting is meant to positively influence the society, set agenda for the social, cultural, economic, political and technological development of the society for the public good. We are also aware that the responsibility of any broadcaster is to inform, educate and entertain its audience, but not at the expense of national security and interest, unity and cohesion of Nigeria’s incredible diversity.
(7) Sir, there are clear indications that Sahara Reporters and its promoters are on a deliberate mission to sabotage our nation’s security policies by tacitly using its platform to initiate frivolous lies and unfounded accusations against the Nigerian Army and its leadership with a view to cause apathy between the Nigerian people and the Nigerian Army. This was the same c
(8) We also want you to note from our critical analysis of events, that whenever the criminal elements are dealth a serious blow by our gallant troops, Sahara Reporters will immediately release spurious allegations against our troops and their leaders. This often results in a hightened tempo of criminality in some flash points within the country.  We have further observed that Sahara Reporters plays a sinister role of according commendation and undeserved protection to criminal gangs terrorising our country and her people. This grossly unpatriotic act will gradually erode people’s confidence in the Nigerian Army, if drastic action is not taken.
(9) Sir, we therefore consider the many frivolous publications by Sahara Reporters against our nation’s security agencies especially the Nigerian Army as a direct attack, since the end state is not to advance the cause of the rights of our people, but rather to push narratives aimed at frustrating our security agencies thereby frustrating their efforts at defending Nigeria’s territorial  integrity and sovereignty.
(10) Sir, the leadership of the Nigerian Army under Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja has the enormous support of majority of the Nigerian people at all times, going by the strong commitment of officers and men of the Nigerian Army towards protecting our lives and properties. These acts of patriotism have therefore increased our conviction about the resolve of the Nigerian Army under the  COAS General Lagbaja to keep fighting for the unity and progress of our country and mutual coexistence, irrespective of the various attempts to distract them through propaganda and frivolous publications.
(11) Sir, we appeal to you to use your good office to treat Sahara Reporters and its promoters as an entity of interest and an enemy of the Federal Republic of Nigeria who should not be allowed to continue their nefarious, seditious publictions, and subversive media operations again in Nigeria.
(12) Sir, by this petition we restate our unalloyed  support and solidarity for the President, Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR), his administration and his Renewed Hope Agenda to transform Nigeria into a true
giant of Africa.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Thank you sir.

Dapo Abiodun docks another legacy project as Gateway Inland Dry Seaport berths in Ogun
By TUNDE OLADUNJOYE

 

In his stead of foresighted execution of life impacting legacy projects in Ogun State, the state Governor , Prince Dapo Abiodun will on Friday host the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Oyetola who will perform the around breaking ceremony of the Gateway Inland Dry Port, at Itori, Ewekoro Local Government.

 

Coming, on the heels of the Gateway Agro Cargo Airport situated at Ilisan-Iperu, and the Olokola Deep Sea Port to be soon inaugurated, the new Gateway Inland Dey Port, another first of its kind in the history of the gateway state, Dapo Abiodun comes across not only as a silent achiever, but also as a leader with futuristic outlook, who thinks about positively impacting the present and future generations of the state in all ramifications.

 

Dapo Abiodun docks another legacy project as Gateway Inland Dry Seaport berths in Ogun
By TUNDE OLADUNJOYE

After the inauguration note Lagos/Ogun Joint Development Commission, the hardworking Ogun helmsman, has been walking his talk, capitalising on the potentials of the of Ogun State to Lagos State, the financial and commercial centre of Nigeria.

 

The Dapo Abiodun Administration has meticulously initiated and assiduously promoted business friendly industrial, and socio economic policies and enhanced the ease of doing business, coupled with the institutional framework such as the Office of Public Private Partnership, Business Roundtable with Private Sector, Ogun State Agency for Business Promotion and Facilitation, are invigorated Ogun Inland Revenue Service and the digitalized Bureau of Lands and other agencies of the government; has served to attract several global concerns and businesses to the State.

 

The activities of the supportive agencies have culminated into millions of dollars flowing into Nigeria through the gateway state. According to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), in its recent report on foreign investment inflows, only six states and the federal capital territory out of the thirty seven states were able to attract foreign direct investment between 2023 and 2024. Ogun state is one of the six states and it attracted, just within a year, a whopping sum of about N41 billion ($25 million).
In response to the agricultural programme of the government leading to processing zone in partnership with the Africa Development Bank, numerous medium scale industry, especially those associated with the agricultural production and processing sector are also being established in large numbers.
The geographical location of the Ogun State as a veritable link to the north and eastern regions of the country and same to the West Africa sub-region, earning it the appellation of the “gateway state” has placed Ogun State on a critical economic pedestal that it cannot be ignored. Also scale of ongoing industrial activities in the state and its advantageous accessibility has seen the citing of the first African Quality Assurance Centre in Ogun State.
Not a few people wondered when in February 2020, the governor created the Ministry of Transportation, for the first time in the history of Ogun State. Some cynics felt, though erroneously, that it was a waste of funds. Not deterred, Governor Abiodun, a goal-getter, known for tenacity of purpose, went ahead to persuade an ogun indigene making exploits abroad back home to head the new ministry. Engineer Olugbenga Dairo, a Nairobi based Transportation Consultant to the European Union, working with the Kenyan Government, was appointed as the first ever Commissioner for Transportation in Ogun State. The state is no doubt, the better for it; with series of policies and projects, including the new Deep Sea Port, under the leadership of Prince Dapo Abiodun.
The Ogun State Strategic Multi Modal Transport Master Plan therefore, identifies the need for effective logistics and transport infrastructure and services across the state, recognizing that shipping services and movement of goods play an important role in global trade and commerce, the Gateway Inland Dry Port (GIDP) and other strategic transportation infrastructure across the provide the needed synergy for rapid economic growth, employment generation and prosperity.
The GIDP is to be situated in a new/planned development area to be known as ‘Dry Port City’ (DPC), will include mixed developments of residences, logistics infrastructure, complimentary commercial and industrial developments and new multi-modal transportation infrastructure.
The GIDP and Dry Port City (DPC) are key to sustaining Ogun State’s rapid industrial growth, addressing increased urbanization as well as supporting national efforts to ease the congestion at Apapa/Tin Can ports, notorious for traffic bottle necks; and reducing the waiting time for cargo handling and storage experienced by industry.
The GIDP and DPC are strategically positioned at the intersection of the Lagos to Ibadan Standard Gauge Railway and the proposed East-West Railway Corridor connecting Lagos to the east via Kajola. The site of the GIDP and DPC is also connected to the national highway network being accessible via the Lagos – Abeokuta Highway and the Sagamu to Benin and Sagamu to Lagos Highways via the Papalanto to Sagamu Interchange Road.
The GIDP and DPC development has adopted the state Public-Private Partnership policy as basis for its delivery, operations, maintenance and management.
The design of the GIDP is spread over an area of 499 Ha for Phase 1 and 100 Ha for a subsequent phase. The site will be composed of the following essential land uses: Railway Siding Area, Container Freight Station and Container Depot Area, Warehouses and Bonded Warehouses, Mineral Yard, Truck Parking, Specialized Industrial Zone, Supporting Facilities and Utilities, Internal Road Network, Green Areas.
The achievements of the Dapo Abiodun Administration are no doubt source of envy to his opponents and the actualization of yet another legacy project, adds to the pains of the nay-sayers.However, regardless of tantrums from critics, Dapo Abiodun may stridently be on the way of breaking the jinx of non-performance by second term governors.
