Kuti made the statement during the relaunch of a new political movement at the Kalakuta Museum in Ikeja, noting that the ‘Movement Of the People’ was created to ensure good governance and accountability.

 

 

He announced the revival of his father’s political party, the Movement of the People(MOP) which was established in opposition to the country’s elites.

‘The idea is that we liberate the Nigerian people, they might not be on this table, but I want to guarantee you that this movement will be the movement to cultivate those minds, those ideas.

 

 

 

“The pan Africanist and socialist foundation is a movement that cannot survive without the Nigerian professionals and the middle class.

 

 

 

“We have to do the work now to begin to engage those of us in the society that have been completely left behind and that have been over looked”.

 

 

 

Kuti insisted that the MOP will remain a movement and will not evolve into a political party except the need eventually arises.

 

 

 

Seun said the Movement of the People (MOP) was a coalition of socialist, progressive organisations,the original Movement of the People was set up by my late Fela since1979.

 

 

 

He intended to run for the presidency under its banner but was barred from taking part.”the upsurge of African youth have started ,each generation have a duty to play,” he warned.

 

 

 

He noted that with the development of the #EndSars Movement, Nigerians have begun questioning their leaders and demanding answers.

 

 

 

He wondered why the police continued to infringe on the rights of the people to freedom of association in a democratic state.

 

 

 

The police had threatened to close his family’s nightclub, the New Afrika Shrine in Lagos, if he held a meeting of his movement there.

 

 

As early as 5am heavy police presence surrounded the venue on Tuesday morning.

 

 

The police had in a warning letter sent to the Kuti family on Monday by the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), S. O. Ahehoje of Alausa Police Division, under Lagos state command, cited the recent violence arising from the #EndSars protests as its reason for calling for suspension of the programme.

 

 

According to the letter ,”it is on this premise that I write that such a gathering or meeting planned to be hosted at your venue is not welcome at this perilous time when the security of the nation is trying to find her feet to stabilize all threat to life and properties.

 

 

 

“You are hereby warned to suspend such gathering as any infraction that may emerge from this gathering will be tagged a deliberate action to sabotage the transition and restoration of the peace in Lagos State by the Lagos state Government and the Nigeria police Force”, the letter read.

 

 

Seni Ajai, a Human Right group, Socialist Vanguard Tendency (SVT) said Nigerian masses have suffered enough adding that the services the government render to the masses are for themselves which need total change.

 

 

 

According to him, what you are seeing today is a process of putting something concrete on ground that will represent the interest of the masses and Nigerian youth.

 

 

 

For the first time we want to gather political organisation , interested individuals and pro masses, coming together to seal up ideas to form a dependable organisations that will fight for the interest of people.

 

 

 

“we do not want organisations like Trade Union , Labour Congress and Civil Organisations that have been corrupted by government, what we want is to create organisations like the ones our fore fathers created during colonial period to fight for our right,” he added.

 

 

 

Ajai urge Nigerians to stand up and join the movement.

He described the move by the Nigerian Police Force as a “gross abuse of power”.

“The sealing up the venue of a public discourse is unacceptable in a democracy.

 

 

 

The groups noted that even under the past administration ,colonial and military regimes, Nigerians still fought for, and defended their rights.

 

 

 

We will advice the citizens to rise and defend their rights and nobody can stop the will of the masses.

Popular financial influencer and self-proclaimed guru, Geh Geh, has officially opened the doors to his new hotel, marking another milestone in his ever-evolving career. The hotel, a modern and tastefully furnished establishment, was unveiled on December 22nd amidst a wave of excitement from his followers and supporters.

Taking to his X page a few days prior to the launch, Geh Geh teased his fans with the announcement, hinting at the grand opening. True to his word, the influencer shared clips from the event, including a moment where his pastor prayed over the establishment during its official dedication.

The event was attended by friends, family, and well-wishers, who gathered to celebrate his achievement. Online reactions, however, have been a mix of admiration, skepticism, and humor as netizens took to social media to share their thoughts on Geh Geh’s latest accomplishment.

Social Media Reactions

The news of Geh Geh’s hotel opening has sparked lively conversations across social platforms. Some users congratulated him on his success, while others questioned the legitimacy of his wealth and mocked the idea of a pastor blessing a hotel.

Oleksandr Usyk Defeats Tyson Fury Again, Solidifies Legacy Among Boxing Greats

Oleksandr Usyk Defeats Tyson Fury Again, Solidifies Legacy Among Boxing Greats

Ukrainian boxing sensation Oleksandr Usyk retained his heavyweight championship titles and cemented his place in boxing history with a unanimous decision victory over Britain’s Tyson Fury in their rematch on Saturday night.

The judges scored the bout 116-112 in Usyk’s favor across the board, marking his second consecutive win over Fury. This victory extended Usyk’s flawless professional record to 23-0, with 14 knockouts, adding another chapter to a career already highlighted by Olympic gold and an undisputed cruiserweight championship.

A Masterclass Performance

Usyk, 37, showcased his signature precision and relentless pace, repeatedly catching Fury with clean left hooks and dominating the latter stages of the fight. Fury, at 6ft 9in (206cm) and weighing a career-high 281 pounds, attempted to impose his physicality but was unable to break Usyk’s composure.

The fight, held in Saudi Arabia, saw Usyk wearing traditional Cossack attire during his entrance, while Fury entered the arena dressed in a festive Santa-inspired robe to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”

The early rounds were competitive, with Fury landing powerful jabs and body shots. However, Usyk’s endurance and tactical brilliance began to shine in the middle rounds. The Ukrainian landed sharp combinations and dictated the tempo, including a stunning uppercut in the final round that left little doubt about the outcome.

“I thought I’ve won both fights,” Fury said post-match, sporting a bruised right eye. “But I’ll always believe until the day I die that I won that fight.”

A Legacy Sealed

Usyk’s victory solidified his standing as one of the greatest heavyweights in history. Already the first undisputed heavyweight of the four-belt era, Usyk joins the ranks of legends like Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, and Mike Tyson.

The bout, reported to have a prize purse of $190 million, also underscored Saudi Arabia’s growing influence in global sports. Usyk, who served briefly as a soldier during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, celebrated his victory by hoisting a symbolic sabre belonging to Ukrainian nationalist hero Ivan Mazepa.

Fury’s Uncertain Future

The defeat leaves Fury’s future in doubt. Once unbeaten across 35 fights, Fury now stands at 34-2-1. His attempt to reclaim glory after a brief retirement in 2022 has been marred by back-to-back losses to Usyk.

Usyk, on the other hand, continues to add to his already remarkable resume, leaving fans and critics alike in awe of his technical skill, resilience, and determination. As the heavyweight division looks ahead, Usyk’s reign appears unshakable, and his place among boxing’s all-time greats is firmly secured.
