Angolan president appeals for swift end to Middle East conflicts

President Joao Lourenco of Angola has called for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, stressing the need for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.

Lourenco made this appeal during his annual address on the nation’s state at the Angolan Parliament in Luanda.

He added that the world could not continue to accept the alarming daily death toll of civilians in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon.

According to him, Angola supports efforts to find a lasting peace in the region, rooted in respect for the United Nations Charter, the principles of non-aggression, the inviolability of borders and the defense of state sovereignty.

He emphasised the importance of ending the occupation of Palestinian territories and creating an independent and sovereign Palestinian state.

“The international community must unite to stop these wars, protect innocent lives and promote peace and security in the Middle East, given the global repercussions of these conflicts,” he said.

Zonal Congress: Wike willing tool by Tinubu to destroy PDP, involved in anti-party – Atiku’s aide

Paul Ibe, the media aide to former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, on Wednesday, insisted that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, was involved in anti-party activities.

Ibe maintained that Wike was a willing tool being used by President Bola Tinubu’s administration to destroy the PDP.

He was reacting to PDP’s letter to the Independent National Electoral Commissio, INEC, regarding the recently conducted South-South Zonal Congress.

Ibe noted that the letter affirmed Wike and his cohorts worked against the PDP, adding that it was a deliberate plot to create a crisis.

Posting on X, Ibe wrote: *”It is no longer news that Wike is engaging in anti-party activities; that he is a willing tool used by Tinubu’s APC administration to destroy the @OfficialPDPNig and other opposition parties.

“This letter from the PDP to the @inecnigeria is a confirmation that the actions of Wike and his cohorts regarding the party’s South-South Zonal Congress are contrary to the position of the PDP.

“It is a deliberate ploy to create a crisis to serve the interest of his paymaster.”*

In a letter dated February 20, 2025, and addressed to the INEC Chairman, the PDP stated that the scheduled zonal congress was postponed due to operational constraints.

The letter, signed by PDP’s acting Chairman, Umar Damagum, and Secretary, Sunday Ude-Okoye, noted that a new date and venue would be announced, and the commission would be duly notified.

Despite this letter, Wike and his camp went ahead with the South-South Zonal Congress, which was attended by former Governor of Cross River State, Mr. Donald Duke.

During the congress, the South-South Zonal Vice Chairman of the PDP, Chief Dan Orbih, was re-elected.
