Governor of Kogi State, Usman Ododo has commended his predecessor, Yahaya Bello, for his exemplary leadership and extraordinary vision, which led to the state’s transformation.

This is contained in a statement issued yesterday in Lokoja by Ododo’s special adviser on media, Ismaila Isah, on Bello’s 46th birthday.

Ododo also described Bello as a quintessential leader of repute as he felicitates with him on his 49th Birthday Anniversary.

According to him, Bello is a quintessential leader of men and women and a pathfinder who lifted children of the less privileged to prominence and led the state to a prosperous pedestal in the eight years of his administration.

“On the occasion of the 49th birthday of my leader and mentor,

“I am filled with gratitude for the courage you exemplified, the sacrifices you made for us to be where we are today and the legacies you bequeathed on our state and our people.

“I wish you many more years in good health and prosperity as you will be surrounded by your children and the children of many people whose lives you have transformed as you celebrate the anniversary of your birthday”, he said.

The governor prayed to God to protect the former governor’s life, wishing him a fulfilled life out of office. (NAN)

DSS Invites Datti Baba-Ahmed Over Alleged Inciting Remarks Against Nigerian State

Linus Aleke in Abuja

The Department of State Services (DSS) has invited the founder of Baze University and former vice-presidential candidate, Senator Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, over comments authorities consider potentially inciting and capable of provoking tension within the country, a senior security source has revealed.

According to the source, security agencies have raised concerns about Baba-Ahmed’s recent public statements on various media platforms, particularly his repeated claims of an alleged “constitutional crisis” in Nigeria.

“A few days ago, Baba-Ahmed appeared on national television, criticising the judiciary and the military for allowing the inauguration of President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima,” the source said.

The source added, “He went as far as suggesting that the military was emboldened to ‘look the public in the face and call them bloody fools’ because of this swearing-in.”

The source noted that such remarks carry undertones capable of heightening political tension, especially given the sensitivity of the current national climate.

He added that similar rhetoric had contributed to instability in countries such as Guinea-Bissau, making it necessary for security agencies to intervene early.

“This invitation has nothing to do with politics,” he explained.

The concern, he said is for the corporate existence of the nation, stating, allowing such rhetoric to go unchecked could pose long-term risks.

He further stated that some of Baba-Ahmed’s recent assertions—including claims that the judiciary and military were “complacent” in not stopping the inauguration, and his description of national security efforts as a “joke”—could erode public trust in state institutions if left unaddressed.

The source emphasised that the DSS engagement is in line with standard protocol.

“These sessions are not punitive. They are preventive. The aim is to clarify intent, provide context, and prevent the escalation of narratives that may inadvertently fuel unrest,” he stressed.

He maintained that security agencies are committed to managing the situation professionally and ensuring that public discourse does not undermine national stability.
