The Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) under the leadership of Engr Ibrahim Shehu Gusau has announced that any election planned for Abuja will be null and voided in line with the agreement between the World Athletics, the Confederation of African Athletics (CAA) and the AFN statement stressed.
According to the AFN President, Engr Ibrahim Shehu Gusau, the claim that World Athletics rejected the amended Constitution of the AFN was false, malicious with the sole intention of scuttling the roadmap for the 2021 AFN elections slated for Kebbi State.
âThe claim by these other people that the World Athletics has rejected the amended constitution is false and intended to deceive the delegates and the Athletics family.
Godswill-Akpabio
Nseobong Okon-Ekong writes that the predictable gimmick of interim management committees and forensic audit reports deployed by Senator Godswill Akpabio, Minister of Niger Delta Affairs to delay inauguration of the Niger Delta Development Commission Board is about to run its course
Senator Godswill Obot Akpabio, Minister of Niger Delta Affairs is used to having his way. As Governor of Akwa Ibom State between 2007 and 2015, things had to be done his way or no way. He ruled when the Naira was relatively strong, compared to what we have today. At the peak of his power in 2013, former Minister of Finance and now the Director General of the World Trade Organisation revealed that revenue allocation to Akwa Ibom State was far in excess of the national budgets of countries like Ghana and Liberia. Akwa Ibom State got about USD1.7 billion (N260 billion) from the Federation Account in 2013.
The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has adjourned to April 15, 2021 the case between the Federal Government of Nigeria and Dantata Success and Profitable Company and four others.

AMCON’s disobedience of court orders must stop
On

The Civil Liberties Organisation,CLO, has continued to campaign for good governance, rule of law and true democracy. This it demonstrated again when the CLO addressed media on a matter concerning AMCON and a recent court order in which the human rights organisation disclosed during the press conference some fundamental issues.
In the words of Edmund Burke,”all it takes for evil men to take over the society and poison it, is for good men to stand aloof and do nothing.”
Indeed, we cannot keep watching things go wrong and we keep mute. We must do something right if we want posterity to judge us fairly.
