US: ‘It’s time for the virus mind to die’ – Elon Musk slams transgender Americans

United States of America tech billionaire, Elon Musk has taken a swipe at transgender people, saying, ‘It is time for the virus mind to die.”

Elon Musk, who is the lead at the Department of Government Efficiency under President Donald Trump’s administration, made this known in a terse statement replying to a Behavioural Risk Surveillance Survey by the Centre for Disease Control on the rising percentage of US adults identifying as transgender.

According to the survey data released on X Sunday by a popular American author, John LeFerre, US adults identifying as transgender surged by year of birth.

The data means that adults identifying as transgender have been on a steady spike, especially those with birth dates from 1990 to 2005.

Reacting, Musk described the trend as a “woke mind virus in action.”

“Now, it is time for the mind virus to die,” he wrote on his X account.

His comments come after Trump’s administration showed a tough stance against transgender people since his second term inauguration in January 2025.

Recall that Trump signed an executive order in February 2025 banning biological men from women’s sports.

In a related development, on Wednesday last week, the United Kingdom Supreme Court ruled that the definition of a woman under the country’s equality law refers to biological sex.

DAILY POST reports that the ruling had sparked transgender protests in parts of the UK.

Ward leaders suspend Abia APC Secretary for alleged constitution violation

The All Progressive Congress, APC Ahiaukwu Ward 2, Umuahia South LGA of Abia State has suspended the Abia State Secretary of the party, Chidi Avajah for alleged violation of the party’s constitution.

They took the decision after a meeting held on Saturday at Okaiuga civic hall Okwu Olokoro which was presided over by the acting Ward Chairman, Ndumele Nwabueze.

The APC Ward leaders, who also suspended Mr Onyekwere Sylvester for allegedly impersonating as acting Ward Chairman, set up a seven-man disciplinary committee to investigate the allegations against the two officials.

According to the APC Ahiaukwu Ward 2 leaders, Avajah allegedly hijacked the party by single handedly appointing an acting Ward Chairman after the death of the former Ward Chairman, in disregard to congress-elected party officials.

They noted that the suspended State Secretary’s actions were in violation of article 21 section A, sub sections ii, vi and vii of the constitution of the APC, even as they claimed that he was not paying his monthly dues to the party in violation of article 9 section 9.2 sub section ii.

DAILY POST recalls that former governor, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu recently, convened a peace, love and reconciliation meeting in his Abuja resident to drum support for unity and reconciliation in Abia APC ahead of the 2027 election.

Delta Community Holds Annual General Conference

Delta Community Holds Annual General Conference

The Enhwe Clan Development Union under the leadership of Dr. Emmanuel Okworigho has held her routine Annual General Conference of Unity and Sustainable Peace at the Enhwe Civic Centre to strategize ways for the development of the community.

Top of the agenda of discussions were issues of Enhwe Modern Hospital Project, constitution review, security, peace initiative, land sales by families in the community, court cases, how to generate revenue for the community, water project and other bugging issues affecting the community.

Okworigho, addressing the community during the conference, stated that the Enhwe Modern Hospital project could have been discussed  but the ex-PG and chairman committee of the hospital project, Chief Mike Ovie Ogodo, was currently not in the country, but soon the launching would be held to raise funds for the project.

He also decried the attitude of those who took the community to court after the election and refused to withdraw the case from court, noting that this group of persons are also involved in trying to sell the land given to the community with impunity. 

Speaking on the water project, Okworigho stated that the community is in contact with the Ministry of Water Resources, Asaba, intimating it that the project is yet to be completed. 

He said that the ministry affirmed that the contractor was yet to be paid, that once the contractor is mobilized, he will be back to site to complete the water project in the community.

According to him, almost a year into his tenure, the leadership has been confronted with visible and worrisome challenges including, insecurity, lack of funds, court cases and indiscriminate land sales by families in the community.

He affirmed that the community will strategize to surmount all the challenges, especially the indiscriminate land sales by families in the community.

On the constitution review, he emphasised that the committee saddled with the responsibility has submitted its work, adding that he will set up another committee to look at all the grey areas amended so that by the next conference, it will be read out for everyone for discussion and adoption.

He also urged the community to be vigilant and security conscious as a result of the ravaging Fulani herdsmen who are killing people with impunity across the country, noting that the security of the community is the responsibility of everyone. 

He warned that whenever anyone sees any strange movement of people they don’t know in the community and in their various farmlands, the security organs of the community must be notified at once.

He commended the effort of the home branch and all branches whom, despite their tight schedule, attended the conference of the union.

Earlier, declaring the conference open, HRM Anthony Onomuefe Efekodha Ejuzi II, the Ovie of Enhwe Kingdom through his representative, charged the community to have a fruitful conference and prayed for journey mercies for attendees back to their various destinations.
