Canadian PM Trudeau to announce resignation – Report

Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau is reportedly expected to resign from his position as early as Monday, according to Canadian media.

Fox News reports that the news was first reported by the Globe and Mail on Sunday night, citing three sources.

According to the report, it is unclear when exactly Trudeau will step down, but a resignation is expected to come before a national caucus meeting on Wednesday.

The development comes as Trudeau’s popularity continues to dwindle in Canada, with a national election planned for October 20.

The country continues to suffer from a housing crisis, a declining per-capita GDP and high inflation, among other issues.

Trudeau has a disapproval rate of around 68% as of December 24, with a meager 28% of Canadians supporting him, according to Canadian pollster Angus Reid.

Trudeau became prime minister in 2015 but has since braved a difficult few months in politics, facing a no confidence vote in parliament that later failed, despite efforts from the Conservative Party to remove him from office.

Tinubu’s Enugu visit game changer — Okupe

An ex-presidential spokesman, Doyin Okupe, has described the official visit of President Bola Tinubu to Enugu on Saturday as a game changer.

Okupe said this in a statement on Sunday in Lagos.

“The visit of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Enugu on Saturday is a major game changer.

“Any objective observer can easily discern President Tinubu’s open heartedness and unrestrained affection for the South-East.

“He (Tinubu) spoke openly and candidly from his heart and made very significant commitments for support for developmental projects in the south east,” he said.

The former Director-General of Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Council said without any equivocation, the South-East deserved the attention and support of any fair-minded President

According to him, any Nigerian of goodwill would commend Tinubu’s genuine good gestures to the South-East.

“Without any iota of doubt, the age-long mantra, which was very dear to the late Igbo leader, Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu, that ‘the absence of an east-west political alliance is a potential existential threat to the unity and stability of Nigeria’ is an all time truism.

“I will personally urge Mr President, while working tirelessly to alleviate the suffering of the masses, to continue to build bridges across the nation for our political stability and peaceful coexistence,” Okupe said.

DAILY POST reports that the President embarked on a state visit to Enugu State on Saturday during which he inaugurated some projects executed by Governor Peter Mbah.

The projects commissioned include 30 smart green schools, 60 completed type 2 primary health centres, and the 19-kilometre Airport-New Haven–Bisalla and Okpara Square roads.

At the meeting, the president told the south-east stakeholders that the removal of petrol subsidy was necessary to build the nation and protect the interests of future generations.
