Insecurity: Declare national emergency – Northern Elders tell Tinubu

The Deputy Director General, Northern Elders Forum, Salisu Mohammed, says the State of insecurity in the North and Nigeria as a whole is at a point where president Bola Tinubu should declares a national emergency.

Mohammed made this call on Thursday, while responding to questions in an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television.

He stated that insecurity in the north has now drained into insecurity in Nigeria, adding that the best way to tackle it is to take the it as a national emergency that requires drastic handling.

“The position of Northern elders in the state of insecurity in the North and especially the whole country, is such that Mr President should declare national emergency, not just in the North.

“What we are saying is that insecurity in the North has now metastasized into insecurity in Nigeria, and therefore the best way to tackle it should be a declaration of National emergency that requires more drastic handling.

“This will require all societal approach, the engagement of citizens, not just Armed Forces, police and security apparatus, because the security architecture of the country has been overwhelmed,” he said.

Wike distribute fertilizers at subsidized rate to FCT farmers

Farmers from the six area councils of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, will enjoy 50 percent subsidy on fertilizers.

This was disclosed by the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike during the distribution of fertilisers to farmers.

On Thursday in Abuja, 550 metric tonnes of fertilisers ranging from conventional NPK, granular urea, NPK gel, to urea gel fertilisers were distributed to farmers by the minister.

The distribution was done by Wike’s Chief of Staff, Chidi Amadi, on behalf of the minister.

“This initiative underscores our firm commitment to food security, agricultural revitalisation, and the welfare of our people. As the FAO has emphasised, food insecurity threatens dignity, stability, and peace.

“In view of this, and in alignment with Mr President’s Renewed Hope Agenda, the FCTA has institutionalised this annual support scheme to ease production costs and enhance yields.

“The timing of this exercise is deliberate – coinciding with the farming season – to ensure that farmers can access inputs when they are most needed,” he said.

With the commencement of the distribution, the Minister cautioned against diverting the fertilizers because it must get to the real farmers who will help boost food production and security in the area councils.

Stressing that fertilizer distribution to farmers was not enough, the Minister disclosed that the FCT Administration will collaborated with international bodies to enhance agronomic practices.

He disclosed that the FCTA would collaborate with International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, the Japan International Cooperation Agency, the Leventis Foundation, and the World Bank for capacity building.

Tinubu’s Europe vacation proof he shouldn’t be re-elected – Sam Amadi

Former Chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, Dr. Sam Amadi, has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s trip to Europe for a ‘working vacation’.

Amadi said it demonstrates the President lacks the stamina for the demands of the presidency.

DAILY POST reported that the Presidency, in a statement signed by Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, announced that Tinubu departed Abuja on September 4 to begin a 10-day working vacation in Europe as part of his 2025 annual leave.

According to the statement, the president will spend the period between France and the United Kingdom before returning to Nigeria.

In a post on X on Thursday, Amadi said the President and his team were making a case against his re-election.

“The president and his team continue to make a strong case why he should not be reelected.

“He has no strength for the hard work required for that office now. He loves, and probably needs, a lot of rest,” Amadi wrote.

Petroleum/Oil and Gas Engineer, Bala Zakka, had decried the nature of the Nigerian economy, stressing that anybody who says the economy is looking good and not experiencing stunted growth is not being honest.

Zakka stated this on Thursday, when he was responding to questions in an interview on Arise Television.

The petroleum engineer, who said that all the economic variables are down, lamented that the citizens were not enjoying entitlement in any sector.

He stressed that the only thing Nigerians enjoy is oxygen, adding that if Nigerian leaders have a way, they will lock the oxygen.

“I will talk in my own capacity as a Nigerian, and I was not in politics yesterday, I’m not in politics today, and I have no plans to be in politics tomorrow.

“As far as I’m concerned, the economy is hurting. Nigerians are groaning in pains. The variables are down. There is serious poverty and the facts are clear.

“All I will say is right from the time we went into democracy to now, Nigerian leaders have been caged by propaganda merchants. And as far as those, propaganda merchants are not getting rid of, honestly, Nigeria’s economy will finally grind into the valley.

“Anybody who tells you that the economy is looking good. That person is not honest to you. Any person who tells you that the economy is not experiencing serious, stunted growth, that person is not honest to you.

“As far as I’m concerned, there is no entitlement in electricity, education, health, agriculture and insecurity.

“The only thing that we are enjoying today, that I strongly believe some of those economic vampires have no control over, is oxygen. Something tells me that if they have a way, they will cage and lock the oxygen,” he said.

Former Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung, has criticised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s departure to Europe for a working vacation.

Dalung described Tinubu as a “vacation president” produced by the Independent National Electoral Commission’s, INEC, “technical glitches.”

DAILY POST reported that the Presidency had announced that Tinubu departed Abuja on September 4 to begin a 10-day working vacation in Europe as part of his 2025 annual leave.

According to a statement signed by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Tinubu will spend the period between France and the United Kingdom before returning to Nigeria.

In a post on X on Thursday, Dalung said the outcome of the 2023 elections had left the country with a leader who prioritises leisure while Nigerians face worsening insecurity.

“This is the tragic outcome of INEC’s so-called technical glitches — a conspiracy that has produced a vacation president whose idea of a social contract with Nigerians is sheer entitlement.

“At a time of escalating insecurity, Tinubu chooses leisure in Europe while the nation drifts. Nigeria is on autopilot, navigating turbulence with clueless, sleeping pilots. Lord, have mercy on this country,” he wrote.
