PCP Chairman, Harmattan Calls Out Buhari on Insecurity
By Eric Elezuo
The Chairman of the Peoples Coalition Party Chief Don Anthony Chukwuma Harmattan has called on the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government to abandon its wIld goose chase in the name of fighting corruption and go after the terrorists killing Nigerians with reckless abandon since his administration came to power.
Chief Harmattan made the call in a press statement he personal signed, and made available to the press.
He posed questions on the rationale behind why those who are responsible for the acts of terrorism in the country are still walking free, and no sign that they will ever be arrested. He accused Buhari of engaging in phoney corruption fight while Nigerians are massacred on a daily basis, adding why even captured terrorists are enlisted in the Nigerian Army.
Below is the detailed press statement:
It is obvious that President Muhammadu Buhari’s fight against corruption has not benefitted Nigerians, and that has been used as excuse to allow terrorists a field day to roam the streets of Nigeria causing total mayhem.
I call on President Muhammad Buhari to challenge himself and go after the terrorists who kill on daily basis only for the government to say sorry and that ends it.
If President Buhari can locate the house of Nnamdi Kanu who never killed anyone and opened fire in his compound through operation Phyton Dance, how come this president doesn’t know where those terrorists live, or are they ghosts? Nigerians cannot continue to live in penury and at the same time be slaughtered like animals in their homes.
In fact, there are more questions to be answered. How come Myetti Allah have suddenly become the mouth piece of this government, and threatening fire and brimstone on daily basis with no one arresting them or putting them on trial?
How come terrorists granted pardon are being enlisted into the Nigerian Army and posted to the South. Seriously, Nigerians need to know why Service Chiefs have become superiors to our institutions that they don’t respond to Summons from the National Assembly.
No one is telling us why up till today, those who slaughtered an innocent woman on the street of Kano have not been arrested, neither has any reason been given why herdsmen who with the help of AK 47 and sophisticated weapons, sacked communities, raped innocent women and render children homeless are still working the streets free.
What about those who beheaded the innocent CAN Chairman in Adamawa State and those who attacked and shot at the Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom?
President Buhari, Nigerians need answers now!
Popular socio-political activist, Aisha Yesufu, has lost the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) senatorial primary election for the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
She lost the election to a chieftain of the party, Amanda Pam.
The activist-turned-politician had said her ambition to represent the FCT in the upper legislative chamber was driven by the desire to solve problems in the nation’s capital and give residents a stronger voice in government.
Aisha Yesufu is a staunch supporter of the NDC presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
The Federal government has declared Wednesday, May 27 and Thursday, May 28, 2026 as public holidays to mark the celebration of Eid ul Adha.
The Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, made the announcement on behalf of the government.
The declaration was contained in a statement signed by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Dr. Magdalene Ajani.
It said the declaration affirms the Federal government’s profound respect for the faith and spiritual heritage of millions of Nigerian Muslims who join the global Islamic community in observing this sacred occasion.
“The minister conveys the warm felicitations of the Federal government to all Muslim faithful in Nigeria and throughout the Diaspora. Eid ul Adha is a festival of deep spiritual significance, grounded in the values of sacrifice, obedience to God, and compassion for one’s fellow man.
“The Federal government urges all Nigerians to use this period for prayer and sober reflection, asking for divine guidance upon the country as it continues its pursuit of peace, security, and prosperity for every citizen,” Ajani said.
“It is in the spirit of brotherhood, shared humanity, and national unity that the Federal government wishes all Muslims a peaceful, blessed, and joyous celebration,” the Permanent Secretary added.
Africa’s biggest corporate supporter of culture, Globacom, is commemorating the life and legacy of the late Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, at this year’s Ojude Oba Festival, marking the 21st consecutive year of its sponsorship of the cultural event.
This year’s edition, themed “Ojude Oba 2026: Celebrating the Legacy of Oba Sikiru Adetona,” is taking place at the Festival Pavilion opposite the royal palace in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State.
The celebration pays glowing tribute to the remarkable accomplishments of the late monarch, who transited on Sunday, July 13, 2025, after an illustrious reign spanning 65 years.
The departed monarch ascended the throne on April 2, 1960, and during his reign, the profile and prestige of the Ojude Oba Festival grew tremendously, making it one of Africa’s most celebrated cultural events.
In a statement issued in Lagos, Globacom posited that Oba Adetona’s unwavering dedication to preserving and promoting Ijebu culture, traditions, and values was a major factor behind the company’s continued support for the festival.
According to the company, “This year’s celebration goes beyond our traditional role as sponsor over the past two decades. It is an opportunity to honour the exceptional legacy of the revered monarch, Oba Adetona, whose vision and commitment elevated Ojude Oba to its present status.”
Globacom recalled that the late Awujale played a pivotal role in transforming the festival into a unifying platform that brought together Ijebu sons and daughters from across the world, regardless of religious affiliation.
This inclusive vision and royal leadership, said Glo, inspired the company to begin sponsoring the festival 21 years ago. Over the years of Globacom’s sponsorship, Ojude Oba has evolved into a globally recognized cultural celebration, attracting thousands of visitors and dignitaries from within and outside Nigeria.
The company reaffirmed its commitment to sustaining its support for the festival as part of its broader objective of showcasing Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage to the world.
