Halimah Yacob has been declared Singapore’s eighth president on Wednesday after a “walkover” election that saw no vote after other contenders no longer ran for the position. Mrs. Yacob, 63, had been the only candidate deemed eligible to stand in the country’s Elections Department, having held a key public position as Speaker of Parliament for three years. The other two contenders, Salleh Marican and Farid Khan, were both denied eligibility, having fallen short of a constitutional rule that required any candidate from the private sector to have led a company with shareholder equity of at least 500 million Singapore dollars (372 million dollars). Following the announcement, Yacob thanked her supporters in a speech, calling it “a proud moment for Singapore, for multiculturalism and multiracialism.” Mrs. Yacob is Singapore’s first Malay president in 47 years, and the first woman to occupy the president’s office. While some have applauded ...

President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government has approached the Federal High Court, Abuja, seeking the revocation of the bail of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). In the application, the Federal Government is seeking an order of court revoking the bail granted Kanu on April 25. Here are five likely reasons the Buhari-led government is going after Nnamdi Kanu again: 1. The FG said the call for revocation of Kanu’s bail was on the grounds that he had breached his bail conditions. 2. Disobedience to court order 3. Inauguration of Biafra Security Service – a grave threat to national security and unity of the country 4. He has not been updating the court on his medical updates and health status 5. Partaking in partisan politics, threat messages against the forthcoming Anambra election 6. Still preaching Biafra message and granting of interview with local and foreign media organizations. 7. Nnmadi Kanu’s separatist comments have inc...

I am pleased to be back on home soil among my brothers and sisters. 2. In the course of my stay in the United Kingdom, I have been kept in daily touch with events at home. Nigerians are robust and lively in discussing their affairs, but I was distressed to notice that some of the comments, especially in the social media have crossed our national red lines by daring to question our collective existence as a nation. This is a step too far. 3. In 2003 after I joined partisan politics, the late Chief Emeka Ojukwu came and stayed as my guest in my hometown Daura. Over two days we discussed in great depth till late into the night and analyzed the problems of Niger...

ABAKALIKI-A Chieftain of the All Progressive Congress, APC and national Coordinator of the Initiative for demonstrating change in Nigeria, Comrade Chinedu Ogah weekend declared that current agitation or struggle for the realisation of the sovereign state of Biafra was a mirage as it was not feasible in a country like Nigeria. Addressing newsmen in Abakaliki, the APC Chieftain who listed the key problems with the Igbo clan to include selfishness on the part of its leaders and relegation of the interest of youths to the background added that the problem of the clan became hydra-headed following the age-long insensitivity of Igbo leaders to the plight and future of the younger generation. “Biafra is not realisable and you know it. I believe in one Nigeria. Igbo are the ones killing themselves. If we change our attitude everything will change around us. The position other tribes are occupying today, Igbo had occupied it before. But what did they do with it? They go into these posit...

The Federal Government has urged the Federal High Court sitting in  Abuja  to revoke the bail it granted  Nnamdi Kanu  and return him to prison. FG argued that the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra ( IPOB ) who was granted bail on April 25, 2017 on health grounds had not only breached the conditions attached to his bail but had conducted himself in manners that threaten public peace. In a counter-motion, filed by Magaji Labaran of the Federal Ministry of Justice, FG urged the court to dismiss an application by Kanu, seeking a review of his bail conditions. In the suit, FG argues: “The offence for which he (Kanu) is standing trial is not ordinarily bailable; the court, not withstanding, granted bail to the 1st defendant/applicant (Kanu) on health grounds on 25th April 2017. “Among other conditions for the bail of the 1st defendant is that he should not be seen in a crowd exceeding 10 people; that he should not grant any interviews, hold or...
