Tinubu, Jonathan, Buhari attend inaugural Council of State meeting

 

 

President Bola Tinubu is currently chairing the meeting of the Council of State at the Council Chambers of the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.

Former Presidents Goodluck Jonathan and Muhamamdu Buhari are onsite for the inaugural meeting convened by President Tinubu.

Former Heads of State, General Yakubu Gowon (retd.) and General Abdulsalami Abubakar (retd.) joined the meeting virtually alongside the governors of Abia, Adamawa, and Akwa Ibom State.

The meeting began at 12:35 pm (local time) with an opening ceremony where attendees sang and recited the national anthem and national pledge, respectively.

It comes 18 months after the council last met on February 10, 2023, under former President Muhammadu Buhari.

At the time, Buhari had convened the meeting over the 2023 elections, the crisis emanating from the new naira policy and fuel scarcity.

 

Tuesday’s gathering will see members discuss recent events nationwide, particularly the #EndBadGovernance protests, the economy, food, and national security.

 

Sources with knowledge of the meeting’s agenda had told our correspondent that President Tinubu and his predecessors would discuss seven key issues.

They include the Nationwide Protest as it Affects National Security and the State of the Economy, and in the agricultural sector, they will discuss Food Security, Availability, and Affordability.

 

Tinubu will also make presentations on Consolidating the Gains in the Solid Minerals Sector, Renewed Hope in Budgeting and Planning for Sustained Development, Renewed Hope in the Road Sector, and leading a Strong Industrial Base for Transformation and Growth.

Giving further details on the Council of State meeting, a second source who did not want to be mentioned told The PUNCH that the relevant ministers for each sector will make presentations on the President’s behalf.

“Although it states here that the President will be making these presentations himself his ministers will be briefing the Council on his behalf. For instance, we are expecting presentations by the National Security Adviser [Mr. Nuhu Ribadu], he will brief the Council on the nationwide protest as it affects national security.

“The Minister of Agriculture and Food Security [Abubakar Kyari] will discuss the food availability and affordability. The Minister of Solid Minerals Development [Mr. Dele Alake] will present on his sector, and the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning [Abubakar Bagudu] will present on budgeting.

“Minister of Works [David Umahi] will also present on the road infrastructure while the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment [Dr. Dorris Uzoka-Anite], will present on building a strong industrial base,” the source explained, adding that while these ministers are not members of the Council, they will appear briefly for the talks.

Primate Ayodele’s Prophecy Fulfilled As South Sudan Postpones Election Till 2026

Primate Ayodele Never Said Seyi Makinde Would Become President’’ – Media Aide Clarifies*

Primate Ayodele’s Prophecy Fulfilled As South Sudan Postpones Election Till 2026

 

 

South Sudan’s parties to the 2018 peace agreement have extended the current transitional period by another two years.

The decision was reached during a meeting President Salva Kiir held with his deputies, cabinet members and advisors in the capital, Juba on Friday.

The extension implies the country’s first post-independence election initially scheduled for December 22, 2024 will not take place.

The Cabinet Affairs minister, Martin Elia Lomuro said the transition period extension is an opportunity to implement the remaining key provisions in the peace agreement.

“The extension is in response to the recommendations from the electoral institutions and the security sector. It is an opportunity to implement the pending issues in the peace deal’” he said.

This development has fulfilled the prophecies of Primate Elijah Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church which he shared at different times regarding the presidential election.

The prophet in September 2023 stated in a video that the date for the election will be changed due to insecurity in the country. He made it known that the election will not see the light of the day and will be destabilized.

These were his words:

‘’South Sudan election: the date for the election will be changed, the election isn’t realistic, mark my words because of insecurity in the country. If you go ahead, the election will not see the light of the day and it will be destabilized. The moment you have a shift in the election, the international community will begin to put pressure on South Sudan and if you go ahead with the election, rebels are ready to cause imminent danger, the date isn’t realistic.’’

PDP govs lose as NWC hands Wike Control Of Rivrs PDP

 

The Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has solidified his position in the Peoples Democratic Party leadership crisis as the National Working Committee endorsed the Rivers State congresses.

Wike’s loyalists within the PDP NWC not only secured the approval but also postponed the National Executive Committee meeting, originally set for September 26, to October 24, which could have overturned the decision.

The PDP NWC, led by acting National Chairman Umar Damagum, made this decision during a meeting at the party’s national headquarters, Wadata Plaza, in Abuja on Thursday.

The NWC meeting had been delayed for the past three weeks amid rising tension within the party, especially between former Rivers State governor Wike and the PDP Governors Forum over the status of Rivers State party congresses.

The political conflict between Wike and current Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, escalated on August 24 when PDP governors publicly backed Fubara.

PDP governors called for a review of the Rivers State Congresses and affirmed Fubara’s role as the leader of the PDP in the state.

This support for Fubara enraged Wike, who on August 31 threatened to create chaos in the governors’ states if they did not refrain from interfering in Rivers State matters.

In response, on September 3, the PDP Governors’ Forum condemned Wike’s threat as irresponsible.

A senior NWC member, speaking anonymously due to lack of authorisation, revealed that the approval of the Rivers and other state congresses was granted, and the NEC meeting had been rescheduled to October 24.

The NEC meeting, originally set for August to address burning issues, including Damagum’s replacement, was first moved to September 26 because some members were travelling to Saudi Arabia for pilgrimage. It has now been rescheduled to October 24.

The source stated, “They have achieved their aim. Wike has again defeated the PDP governors as the NWC approved the Rivers and other states’ congresses. There was nothing a few NWC members who were against it could do other than allow them to have their way. As it stands, only the NEC can overturn it to suit the governors’ demands.

“The Rivers State Congresses and those of other states were approved by the NWC. A few states where issues were identified were stepped down. For example, in Kogi, the Chairman and Deputy were not approved due to anomalies.

“Only the NEC can overturn the NWC’s decision on Rivers and other states. However, the NEC meeting, originally slated for September 26, has been postponed to October 24, which may not hold on that date. As it stands, Wike has defeated the Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed-led PDP Governors Forum
