PRESIDENT TINUBU TO AFRICAN UNION: NIGERIA IS BEHIND YOU AND WE WILL NOT LET YOU FAIL TO SECURE STABILITY AND PROSPERITY FOR AFRICA

• AU seeks close coordination with Nigeria on all continental matters

• President Tinubu tells OIC: Islamic leaders in Africa must learn to accept will of Allah

• OIC hails President Tinubu’s “bold” leadership on economic reform and geopolitical stability

 

 

 

President Bola Tinubu asserted that the African Union (AU) is strategically positioned to secure consensus positions for the continent on economic and socio-political relations with the world, particularly with Nigeria’s stalwart backing, as he engaged in a bilateral discussion with the President of the Union of Comoros and Chairperson of the African Union (AU), President Azali Assoumani, on Monday in New York.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“There is nothing that can bring development and prosperity, outside of embracing freedom and constitutional order. It is a critical hallmark of sustainable development. We appreciate that the AU is working hard to bring about peace in the Sahel and is actively negotiating between the warring factions in Sudan. Peace in Sudan will be a great achievement. I appreciate your effort in Burkina Faso and our effective cooperation on Niger.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“You can call me at anytime and we will discuss the peace and stability of AU member states. We need stability and prosperity for the black race. This is our era. We must be peaceful in order to take maximum advantage of the developmental opportunities presented to Africa in this era. We must build a model of sustainable development. Nigeria will collaborate with you. But we must move beyond those whose vision of Africa is narrow and evil. We are not afraid of confrontation, but we prefer to be restrained for now, at this time,” the President declared.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Chairperson of the African Union, President Azali Assoumani, noted that the African Union seeks to complete Nigeria’s effort in securing peace and prosperity in Africa, rather than competing with it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“It is our responsibility to confront the extra-constitutional wrestling for power on the continent. We have told China and Russia that they have a responsibility to ensure that there is stability in these countries, as there will be no developmental partnership where there is a lack of stability in countries being impacted by coupists. We appreciate your stand on these matters,” the AU Chairperson said.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As President of the Union of Comoros, the AU Chairperson said that Comoros seeks to learn from Nigeria’s experience concerning the steady improvement in diversity management, electoral officiation and economic growth over many years.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“We want to turn our country into an emerging economy and we need the experience of Nigeria as we seek your cooperation to conduct an election that will win us the respect of the international community and allow us to develop at the right speed and quality,” the Comoros President emphasized.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

President Bola Tinubu also welcomed the Secretary-General of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Hissein Brahim Taha, and reiterated that the Islamic world has a strategic role to play in the sustenance of peace and development in Africa, and across the globe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“The effort we are making in the Sahel is very important. We know we must double our efforts. We must tell our muslim brothers who are struggling to steal power that only Allah chooses leaders. We must respect the will of Allah. I am ready to collaborate with you. Your efforts in supporting agricultural growth and food security through the provision of resources from Islamic banks has been most commendable and our region is appreciative. I am determined to work with you in uplifiting Nigerians and Africans,” the President assured.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The leader of the 57-nation body of cooperation praised the Nigerian President for his active effort in bringing African states to a place of common understanding.

“We must gain consensus on the need for peace, especially amongst our member states. When you were elected as ECOWAS Chairman, it gave us confidence and hope that the situation in the Sahel region would improve because you are bringing people together. We were also happy about your election as President of Nigeria and we see the changes,” the OIC leader stated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The OIC Secretary-General extended an invitation to President Tinubu to participate at the OIC Heads of State Summit, expected to hold in a few months.

Let Peace And Unity Reigns in Edo State, Governor Monday Okpebholo aide Daniel Eromosele plead with PDP

Let Peace And Unity Reigns in Edo State, Governor Monday Okpebholo aide Daniel Eromosele plead with PDP

 

 

 

Sahara Weekly Reports That The desperation of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State is alarming, to say the least. Despite their decisive loss in the September 21 election, they seem determined to inflict pain and suffering on the good people of Edo. Their strategy? To create chaos and violence across the state, thereby disrupting the peace and progress that the current administration is working hard to establish. With the intention to render the State ungovernable and create room for the declaration of State of emergency in Edo.

 

Let Peace And Unity Reigns in Edo State, Governor Monday Okpebholo aide Daniel Eromosele plead with PDP

 

The recent gruesome killings of Muslims traveling through the state are a stark manifestation and reminder of the PDP’s wicked and bizzare intentions. What’s even more disturbing, however, is the fact that instead of condemning these heinous acts, some senior PDP officials are trying to downplay the severity of ugly incidents. They’re using these senseless killings to call on the Federal Government to declare a State of emergency in Edo State. Nothing can be more far from the truth that these same people are the perpetrators of these wicked and barbaric acts of criminality in the State. Its so sad that, their desperation has lost regard to sanctity of human life.

 

 

 

Let’s be clear: there’s no justification for these acts of criminality clothed in violence no matter the political leanings of the perpetrators or their victims. Every life is precious, and every killing is a tragedy that diminishes us all. Let it be known that those that orchestrated these acts of wickedness and criminality and those that defend them are guilty of the same offence and shall be so rewarded.

 

 

 

The hard truth is that whatever goes around comes around. The PDP and their failed candidate should let Edo enjoy the peace and progress that Governor Monday Okpebholo is working hard to achieve. They should wait for 2028 to try their luck again, instead of trying to disrupt the state’s progress through violence and chaos.

 

 

 

To the good people of Edo, let’s stand together these political Buccaneers and Vampires that are out to unleash violence against the good people. Violence has never been and will never be our culture.We deserve better, and we will not be swayed by the PDP’s antics. The good people of Edo State are solidly behind their ever performing Governor AKPAKO WONDER.

MYSTERY DEEPENS AS FORMER RIVERS HEAD OF SERVICE VANISHES AFTER RESIGNATION

"‘My Husband is in Trouble!’ – Wife of Ex-Rivers Official Cries Out After His Disappearance"

MYSTERY DEEPENS AS FORMER RIVERS HEAD OF SERVICE VANISHES AFTER RESIGNATION

 

The wife of George Nwaeke, the former Head of Service in Rivers State, has raised an alarm over her husband’s sudden disappearance, pleading with Nigerians to help locate him. Florence Nwaeke, visibly distressed, made an emotional appeal on Friday, expressing deep fears for his safety and alleging that he may have been taken against his will.

“When he got to Abuja, he called that he had landed. I said, ‘Thank God,’” she recounted while speaking to journalists. However, shortly afterward, she stumbled upon an online interview purportedly given by her husband—an interview she found deeply suspicious.

“I said, ‘That is not my husband. That is not my husband,’” she cried, suggesting that he might have been speaking under duress.

Mrs. Nwaeke further revealed desperate attempts to reach him, stating that her messages had gone unanswered and his phone lines had been switched off.

“Oh, Jesus, help me. Nigerians, help me. My husband is in trouble. Look at the message I sent to him,” she pleaded, showing journalists frantic texts she had sent.

Her fears intensified after Nwaeke made controversial claims against the embattled Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara. In a recent interview, the former Head of Service alleged that Fubara was backing Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, for the 2027 presidential election while simultaneously encouraging militants to attack oil facilities in the Niger Delta.

Perhaps the most damning accusation was Nwaeke’s claim that Fubara ordered the bombing of the Rivers State House of Assembly in 2023 to prevent his impeachment. This explosive statement has since fueled suspicions that his sudden disappearance is politically motivated.

Beyond making her emotional appeal to the media, Florence Nwaeke also made a direct call to Governor Fubara, urging him to intervene in the crisis.

“Governor, help me. My husband is in trouble. He is in trouble,” she begged, alleging that Nwaeke had been pressured into resigning under duress.

However, Governor Fubara has categorically dismissed the claims, insisting that Nwaeke was being manipulated by external forces. In a strongly worded rebuttal, Fubara accused the former Head of Service of being “compromised” and acting under the influence of those who allegedly paid him to make false allegations.

“The truth is that Dr. Nwaeke has been compromised, and whatever he is saying is only aimed at fulfilling his promise to those who may have paid or coerced him to lie against me,” Fubara stated in a late Friday press release.

The governor also released what he claims are screenshots of chats between Nwaeke and his Chief of Staff, Edison Ehie, in which Nwaeke allegedly sought financial support, further muddying the waters in an already controversial case.

As the mystery surrounding George Nwaeke’s whereabouts deepens, Nigerians are demanding answers. Was Nwaeke forced into hiding due to his allegations? Or is this a political chess game being played at the highest level of Rivers State politics?

For now, Florence Nwaeke’s anguished cries continue to echo, and the fate of her husband remains uncertain.
