Ebonyi youth apologizes to Oby Ezekwesili
*Calls for immediate recall of Senator Onyekachi Nwebonyi

The National Youth Leader of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Comrade Delaw Eze Onyebuchi Chukwu, has apologized to former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, over the insult she received from Ebonyi North Senator, Onyekachi Nwebonyi.
Recall that Oby Ezekwesili had a serious verbal clash with Senator Onyekachi Nwebonyi on Tuesday.
The clash occurred at the Ethics Committee hearing on sexual harassment allegations between Senate President Akpabio and suspended Senator Natasha.
During the altercation, Senator Nwebonyi told Dr. Ezekwesili, “You are an insult to womanhood.” Dr. Ezekwesili remained reasonably calm as the senator raged on. She was at the event in solidarity with embattled Senator Natasha.
Reacting to the ugly incident, Comrade Onyebuchi Chukwu said Ebonyi men are gender-sensitive and respectful to women, knowing how crucial women are in their families.
He tendered an unreserved apology to Oby Ezekwesili and called for the immediate recall of Senator Nwebonyi by the Ebonyi North people.
The statement reads:
“In Ebonyi, we are trained to be humble and well-behaved. We grow up respecting elders. Our men are gender-sensitive and respectful to women, knowing how crucial our women are in our families. This continuous outburst against women by Senator Onyekachi Nwebonyi, as we have seen with the case of Senator Natasha Akpoti and now Oby Ezekwesili, does not represent the character of an Ebonyi man.”
“I therefore, on behalf of Ndi Ebonyi, apologize to Dr. Obi Ezekwesili, a global figure of repute who deserves only accolades. Find a place in your heart to forgive his misbehavior. This is not how an Ebonyi man behaves. We have home training. You are nothing but a pride of womanhood. You are highly educated and well-behaved. You have been an asset to this generation, and we are proud of all you do for society.”
“I am also calling on those who voted for Senator Onyekachi Nwebonyi to power to start his recall for misconduct and public display of shameful outbursts. This is not the essence of your votes for him, and he has shown that he is not qualified to hold any public office. After dancing naked on national television, presenting Ebonyi and Ebonyians in a bad light, we expected an apology, not a repeat.”
“In the same vein, I am calling on my own senatorial zone, Ebonyi South, to start the process of recalling Prof. Anthony Ani for missing in action. Since he was elected, his presence has not been felt in the zone, and this is affecting the progress of the zone. He should be recalled back to what he knows how to do in the university and not remain in the job he’s forced to do.”

The president of Grade A Customary Court, Mapo, Ibadan, Oyo State, Mrs S.M Akintayo, has adjourned a divorce suit brought before it by a man, Kasali, against his wife, Ajoke, on the account of irreconcilable differences.
Kasali stated that he and Ajoke never had a traditional wedding, but that she moved into his house shortly after they met.
Kasali added that he refused to pay Ajoke’s bride price because she was no longer a virgin by the time they met
The plaintiff insisted on divorce because according to him, no meaningful communication ever held between him and his wife.
Kasali stated that he and Ajoke did not understand each other which was the reason for their regular fight.
Kasali further stated that Ajoke was already dating another man which made it imperative that the relationship between him and her be brought to an end.
Ajoke was not in court, although she was served court summonses.
Kasali, in his evidence, said, “My wife moved into my house shortly after we met.
“We never held any marital rites.
“I refused to pay her bride price when her parents insisted on having it because she is not a virgin.
My lord, living with my wife was an error.
“We never understood each other and hardly agreed on any issue.
“We lived like cat and dog; shouting at each other and nagging.
“There was communication breakdown in our relationship.
I heaved a sigh of relief the day she moved out of my house.
“I came to court to end our marriage. This I believe is necessary because she has started dating another man.”

A Shari’a court sitting at Magajin Gari, Kaduna State, has dissolved the union between Yusuf Faruq and Kafayat Hamza after the latter paid N200,000 to redeem herself from the marriage.
The judge, Malam Kabir Muhammad stated that a wife has the right to redeem herself from a marriage by returning the dowry she received from her husband.
He explained that the dowry refunded could be the exact amount she received or less. She added that it could even be more than the initial amount.
The complainant earlier prayed the court to dissolve her union with her husband through Khul’i (redemption), expressing her readiness to return the N6,000 dowry she received from him.
The defendant, however, stated that he would only accept N200,000, which the complainant agreed to pay.
United States President, Donald Trump has opened up that Tech billionaire Elon Musk has never asked him for a favour or anything.
Trump made the claim in the Oval Office on Wednesday when asked by a reporter if Musk is advising him on auto tariffs.
“No, because he may have a conflict, so we don’t talk. I have never talked to him. Elon’s amazing,” Trump responded.
“He’s never asked me for a favour in business whatsoever. I’m actually a little surprised by it. I might do it, I might not do it.
“I do what’s right, and he’d want me to do what’s right. No, he is a patriot.
“He has never, you know, these are big deals we’re talking about.
“This is probably nothing like this, and I have never had Elon come and say, Would you do me a favor with a mandate or the electric mandate or anything? He’s never asked me for anything.”
Trump’s latest automobile tariffs are expected to take effect from April 2, 2025.
Despite the eternal outrage, American workers and Democrats have backed Trump’s auto tariffs.
