The Director-General of the Voice of Nigeria (VON), Mr. Osita Okechukwu has called on Nigerians to look beyond the frenzy of restructuring as canvassed by the Southern Governors’ summit in Asaba, Delta State.
Okechukwu, a chieftain of ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), warned that conceding more powers to the Governors would put the country’s democracy in grave danger.
In a statement on Thursday, the VON boss advised Nigerians to tread carefully and not to see the socio-economic and security challenges facing the country as a reason to give more powers to the Governors who are already mismanaging their powers as Emperors.

Respite came for 27 students abducted by bandits from Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation, Afaka, Kaduna, as they gained their freedom yesterday after 56 days in captivity. The students were released in Kindanda village, Giwa local government area of the state.
The release was reportedly facilitated by the Sheikh Abubakar Gumi dialogue committee with support from former President Olusegun Obasanjo. The students were among the 39 abducted two months ago. After payment of ransom by parents and the school management, the bandits had last month released 10 of the victims while two others escaped from captivity.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday said the statement made by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Lai Mohammed, that the federal government is not duty-bound to protect Nigerians from bandits, has confirmed apprehensions that the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Mohammadu Buhari presidency have finally surrendered Nigeria to terrorists.
The party called on President Buhari to personally address Nigerians in his own voice and not through his aides.
The PDP further stressed that the statement made by the minister is another clear evidence that Buhari is indeed absent; has completely abdicated the responsibilities of his office and capitulated to bandits.
