Akpabio returns from Geneva, hopes Ningi returns to Senate soon

…says I’ve not seen Falana’s letter but no cause for alarm, it’s family affair
President of the Senate and Leader of Nigeria’s delegation to the just concluded 148th Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), in Geneva Switzerland, Godswill Akpabio, Thursday, arrived the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja. He was received on arrival, by his Deputy Chief of Staff, Dr Saviour Enyiekere and some of his aides.
The Executive Committee member of the IPU, disclosed to the Media on arrival that Nigeria, as a nation, particularly our women, would benefit a lot from the meeting of the delegation with the Director General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), Dr Ngozi Okonjo Iweala.
The senate president said they met with the Director General of WTO and we discovered that their fund in hanging which our women can leverage on to improve their business, small and medium scale enterprises and we shall be discussing that with the executive, particularly with Mr. President and set up a committee to work with them to ensure that Nigerian women also benefit from there.
Akpabio said the mission to Geneva comes with a lot of positives for Nigeria on the global stage, stressing that his push for stronger parliamentary diplomacy to restore peace in the world especially in Gaza has not only gained traction in major parliaments across the world but is also beginning to yield positive results in current efforts at ending the conflict between Israel and Gaza.
According to him, you noticed that almost everything that I said is almost what is happening now. Isreal has agreed to release prisoners and at the same time, the other side have started negotiating to alsonrelease hostages. So we believe the major thing now is ceasefire to allow for humanitarian aids get to the children, women and the people of Gaza and after that, we can discuss some sustainable means of bringing peace to that region.
“Nigeria cannot be an island, with 250million prople, our voices should always be heard whereever we go to. I think what we brought back was the integrity of Nigeria and the fact that we are back at world stage with President Bola Tinubu, don”t forget that he is also the chairman of ECOWAS. It is important they hear from him through the parliament.
Reacting to the letter from Senator Abdul Ningi’s lawyer, Chief Femi Falana, SAN that Senator Ningi be reinstated and paid all his entitlement in seven days or face court action, Akpabio said although he’s yet to see the letter by Ningi’s lawyer Femi Falana, the matter would be resolved like a family affair and hopefully Ningi would return shortly.
He further said that the Senate would give the letter of Senator Abdul Ningi asking the Senate to withdraw the three months suspension it slammed on him all the necessary attention, expressing hope that the federal lawmaker representing Bauchi Central would soon return to the senate.
On his easter message to Nigerians, Akpabio said: “just like christ died for us, we should be sacrificial, we should carry one another along. Jesus came to die for mankind in order to liberate us, so be sacrificial in your approach to life. So don’t wait until you are rich before you touch your neighbour’s life. May the peace of the Lord be with us in Jesus name. Amen”
The Senate President wished President Tinubu who is celebrating his birthday today (Good Friday) more health, more prosperity. Above all we wish him peace of the Lord that passeth all understanding.

UNUSUAL! Without invitation, Police declared me wanted — Daughter of ABC Transport owner

Ihuoma Julia Nneji, 34, daughter of the owner of ABC Transport, claimed over the weekend that she was declared wanted by the police without any prior invitation or notification of a petition against her.
She was recently listed in a Special Police Gazette Bulletin issued by the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre (NPF NCCC), Abuja, for criminal defamation, injurious falsehood, and cyberstalking.
In a statement, she insisted she never defamed or blackmailed anyone on her verified social media pages or elsewhere.
Instead, she claimed she is the victim of blackmail and threats from her former boyfriend, Henry Uzochukwu, the complainant in the case.According to her: “I met Henry Uzochukwu in April 2024, and we started getting to know each other. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned”.
“This conflict began in August 2024 when I called off our wedding, scheduled for November 2024, due to unresolved issues regarding Henry’s sexuality. I found incriminating evidence suggesting he is gay and decided not to proceed with the marriage.
“Further investigations revealed not only his interest in men but also that he had been engaged multiple times without disclosing the reasons for the failed marriages. I discovered that the woman he was to marry before me left him a week before the wedding over the same issue.
“I was deceived and manipulated by the many lies he told.
“After I canceled the wedding, he began to harass me, threatened my life, and falsely accused me of operating an Instagram page spreading rumors about him — a claim that is speculative and untrue.”

Just in: EFCC Uncovers N1bn in Jewelry, Cash at Aisha Achimugu’s Home as Hunt for Missing $250m Gathers Momentum

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has intensified its investigation into a massive financial scandal involving businesswoman Aisha Achimugu Sulaiman, after discovering luxury items and large sums of cash in her Abuja residence linked to a missing $250 million.
Acting on a court warrant, EFCC operatives stormed Achimugu’s home at No. 61 Hassan Usman Katsina Street, where they uncovered a staggering haul: N30 million in cash, $50,000 in foreign currency, and boxes containing gold, diamond, and silver jewelry valued at over N1 billion. The discovery is part of a broader investigation into alleged money laundering and misappropriation of political campaign funds.
Sources close to the investigation revealed that the $250 million in question was reportedly entrusted to Achimugu by Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu as part of his 2027 campaign preparations. Insiders claim the funds were meant for safekeeping but were allegedly moved across multiple accounts and may have been squandered.
“The issue is deeper than most people know. Sanwo-Olu put himself in a mess when he went and kept that $250 million in an account belonging to Aisha. Aisha has messed with the funds and cannot account for it anymore,” a source familiar with the case disclosed.
The EFCC has reportedly frozen 136 bank accounts linked to Achimugu across ten banks. Investigators also discovered she operates over 20 companies registered with nearly identical addresses—suggesting a network of shell corporations possibly used to move funds.
Achimugu, currently believed to be in London, was summoned by the EFCC to appear at its Port Harcourt office on March 25, 2025. She has since failed to show up and is now officially wanted by the anti-graft agency.

Gov Oborevwori’s top aide suddenly resigns from govt

In a shocking political move, Harrison Gwamnishu, Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the Delta State Governor on Civil Society and Youth Mobilization, has tendered his resignation, citing deep dissatisfaction with the government’s handling of escalating insecurity across communities in the state. Gwamnishu submitted his resignation letter on Friday, April 25, 2025, addressed to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Executive Governor of Delta State. He emphasized that his decision followed “considerable reflection” and was driven by a “deep sense of disappointment” over the administration’s failure to act on security concerns he consistently raised.
In his letter, Gwamnishu detailed his efforts to draw the government’s attention to the worsening security situation, including numerous messages, calls, and submission of blueprint documents proposing actionable solutions.
However, he lamented that all attempts were “thrown out,” and meaningful solutions were “not being accepted” by the administration.
“As a civil rights leader, I accepted this appointment as a commitment to serve and protect our community,” Gwamnishu wrote. “However, the continuous escalation of insecurity and the persistent lack of action to provide effective resolutions have rendered me unable to fulfil my duties with the integrity and effectiveness that I believe are essential.” He further stated that his resignation is intended to serve as a wake-up call to the administration, urging it to prioritize the safety and security of Delta State citizens.
