2027: We’re going into war – Aisha Yesufu
Human rights activist Aisha Yesufu has described the forthcoming 2027 general elections as a war.
Yesufu made this statement on Thursday during a live interview programme on Channels Television, monitored by DAILY POST.
DAILY POST reports that Nigeria is preparing for general elections in 2027.
The co-convener of the BringBackOurGirls Movement further said that the 2027 election is a fight for the soul of Nigeria, adding that it is no longer business as usual.
“As we go into 2027, let me tell you, it’s a war we are going into. Yes, it’s a war; we are fighting for our lives. Every one of us, there is a bed in the psychiatric hospital for every one of us who wants to show that madness.
“We are not going to sit back while some people think that they have the monopoly on anyhowness or madness.
“APC has not shown it’s a party that has the credibility to do the right thing. It has always shown itself to behave in an ‘any-howness’-kind of manner.
“Of course, we know those things are going to come, but we are confident about the fact that Nigerians are tired,” she said.
Tax: Why we sealed GLO’s office – Abia Revenue Service
Abia State Board of Internal Revenue, ABIRS, explained that the alleged failure of Globacom Limited to comply with tax remittance obligations as ordered by the High Court of Abia State led to the sealing of the company’s offices in Umuahia and Aba.
The action was disclosed in a press release signed by the Deputy Director of Information, Abia State Board of Internal Revenue, Emelle Akunna Loveth.
She stated that the enforcement followed a valid court order issued in Suit No. HU/225M/2025 between the Abia State Internal Revenue Service and Globacom Limited.
According to the statement, the High Court of Abia State, Umuahia Judicial Division, in its judgment delivered on January 14, 2026, directed Globacom Limited to remit the sum of N4,048,748,880.00, representing unremitted Right of Way Withholding Taxes and other tax liabilities covering the period between 2010 and 2022.
The court further ordered the telecommunications firm to pay an additional ten percent annual interest on the outstanding tax liabilities from the date the taxes became due until full payment is made.
The court also granted an order of distraint against Globacom’s goods, chattels, and premises within Abia State, empowering the revenue board and its agents to enforce recovery in line with the provisions of the Abia State Tax (Codification and Consolidation) Law, 2020.
ABIRS explained that the sealing of Globacom offices in Umuahia and Aba was a lawful enforcement action carried out in strict compliance with the subsisting court order.
Meanwhile, some customers of the telecommunications giant have called for an amicable resolution of the tax matter between the Abia State revenue agency and Globacom.
