Travellers’ killing: Plateau Govt pays Zazazu Emirate visit

A delegation of the Plateau Government has visited the Emir of Zazzau, Alhaji Ahmed Bamalli, over the killing of some travellers in the state.

The delegation was led by Alhaji Muhammadu Haruna, the Emir of Wase, Wase Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that on June 20, hoodlums attacked and killed some travellers at Mangun community of Mangu LGA of the state.

The victims were said to be travelling from Zaria, Kaduna State, to Qua’an Pan LGA in Plateau for a wedding ceremony but missed their way and got to Mangun.

Gov. Caleb Mutfwang, who condemned the incident, described it as an act of criminality.

The Police Command in the state said it had arrested 22 suspects in connection with the unfortunate incident.

The leader of the delegation, who spoke to NAN on Tuesday in Jos, said that the visit was to commiserate with the Emir of Zazzau and the families of the deceased.

Haruna appealed to the people of Zaria not to allow the incident to destroy the cordial relationship between Plateau and Kaduna State, and the Zazzau Emirate.

“Last Sunday, I led a delegation of top government functionaries from Plateau to commiserate with the emir and people of the Zazzau Emirate over the unfortunate incident that claimed some lives.

“Kaduna State and the Zazzau Emirate have enjoyed cordial relationship with Plateau; so we condemn the criminal act in totality because Plateau people are accommodating.

“As we speak, some arrests have been made, and this is an indication that the government of Plateau will not sweep this matter under the carpet.

“Anyone found guilty will face the full wrath of the law; we will ensure that justice is served,” he said.

The royal father thanked the Emir of Zazzau for the warm reception the delegation received, and for ensuring that the situation didn’t degenerate into reprisal in any part of his domain.

Haruna also assured members of the affected families of the government’s plans to support them in whatever way to cushion the hardship that may arise due to the demise of their loved ones.

2027: Delta Central APC Women Endorse Tinubu, Oborevwori

2027: Delta Central APC Women Endorse Tinubu, Oborevwori

Women of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta Central Senatorial District have unanimously endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, as the sole candidates of the party for the 2027 general election.

The endorsement took place during a strategic APC women’s unity meeting held  in  Ughelli.

According to a statement, the motion for the endorsement of President Tinubu and Governor Oborevwori was moved by Mrs. Josephine Oduaran and seconded by Hon. Stella Okotete. It was unanimously adopted through a voice vote presided over by former member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Evelyn Oboro.

Convener of the meeting and Executive Director, Business Development, NEXIM Bank, Hon. Stella Okotete, said the women of Delta Central have resolved to follow President Tinubu and Governor Oborevwori without looking back. 

She described the gathering as a significant step towards consolidating women’s participation in the APC and ensuring electoral victory in 2027.

Oketete said  the party stands united under the leadership of Governor Oborevwori, and assured  the people that more empowerment opportunities await women in the state. 

She noted that the massive turnout of female political leaders from across the senatorial district is a clear indication of the growing strength of the APC.

Okotete, a former APC National Women Leader, urged the women to mobilise voters from house to house, unit to unit, ward to ward, and local government to local government to ensure landslide victories for President Tinubu, Governor Oborevwori, and all APC candidates.

She clarified that she has no intention of contesting any elective office in 2027, stating that her sole interest lies in delivering victory for the party’s candidates. 

She also emphasised the importance of embracing the APC’s twinning system, where women can deputize for men and vice versa, to guarantee broader representation at all levels.

Okotete said: “Our goal is to ensure the re-election of President Tinubu and Governor Oborevwori so they can continue their good work beyond 2027. Delta State is now an APC state, and we are confident of victory. The President will get the highest number of votes from Delta State in 2027. There is no opposition here, and certainly no division within the APC. We are united”.

Speaking on behalf of the Okpe/Sapele/Uvwie Federal Constituency delegates, former House of Representatives member, Hon. Evelyn Oboro, applauded Governor Oborevwori for his outstanding achievements in just two years in office.

Also speaking, Chairman of the Delta State Civil Service Commission, Chief Roseline Amioku, urged women to register their children, particularly those of voting age to boost the senatorial district’s population. She noted that women constitute the majority of voters at polling units and called for unity to advance their collective political fortunes.

State Women Leader of the APC, Mrs. Tina Okwudili, expressed confidence in the strength of the party, citing the massive defection of former PDP members to the APC. She pledged continued hard work to ensure victory for all APC candidates in future elections.
