Top 10 Newspaper Headlines Tuesday, May 3rd 2022

Good morning! Here is today’s summary from Major Newspapers in Nigeria

Punch Newspaper

1. National Assembly workers reject staggered arrears payment, issue strike notice

The workers at the National Assembly under the aegis of Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria have rejected the proposed skeletal payment of outstanding National Minimum Wage by the National Assembly Service Commission.

PASAN threatened to embark on industrial action if the management of the National Assembly fails to pay the arrears to all categories of workers by the end of May.

In the communiqué issued by PASAN after a meeting with the NASC and the National Assembly management, the association particularly rejected the planned payment of the arrears to workers from Grade Level 03 to 17.

The NASC had planned to pay members of staff on GL 3 to 14 from May to December 2022; GL 15, January 2023; GL 16, February 2023; and GL 17, March 2023.

2. You can’t kill zoning, group tells Adamu, northern elders

The Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum has warned political parties and stakeholders in the political circle not to be cunning with the issue of zoning and power rotation offices, especially for the presidency in the 2023 elections.

The organisation warned that doing so would further threaten the unity of Nigeria.

The SMBLF noted, that, the recent comment by the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Adamu, that the party had not decided on the zoning of the presidency, with about 30 days to the presidential primary, “amounts to outright dishonesty and chicanery.”

While calling on northerners to “stop their trickery”, because “enough is enough!”, the SMBLF said, “we cannot have a northerner president for eight years and then welcome another one for another eight years or more. That is unacceptable to us.”

The organisation, therefore, strongly cautioned “all our governors, former governors, and top politicians not to accept the Vice Presidency nomination from any northern presidential candidate.”

3. Nigerians jumping into conclusion, says Yul Edochie’s second wife

Nigerian actress, Judy Austin, has noted that Nigerians were jumping into conclusion following the news of her marriage to Nollywood star, Yul Edochie.

The actor had caused a stir on social media last week when he announced his second marriage to Judy, adding that the actress already had a son for him.

On Monday, in a video making the rounds on the Internet, Judy noted that jumping into conclusion without hearing from the other party was not the best thing to do.

She began the video by appreciating her fans, saying, “Thanks for all the love. Thank you for all the support. I can’t believe I’m this loved. I want to thank you all for that. May God bless you. And I love you guys back.

“I’ve been wondering. Do I tell my story or do I not? There’s this saying that there’s no smoke without fire and it takes two to tango.

4. Eid-el-Fitr: Fayemi visits Kebbi, commends Bagudu for developmental projects

5. Buhari, Saraki aides clash over purchase of Tucano Jets

Five years after the anticipatory approval of $496,374,470 given by President Muhammadu Buhari, for the purchase of 12 A29 Super Tucano Aircraft without legislative approval, the Buhari Media Organisation and the Media Office of former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, are still quarrelling over the transaction.

The Buhari Media Organisation had in a statement titled: “Tucano Jets: Saraki lied, actually wanted to impeach Buhari on purchase,” accused the former Senate President of lying about playing a positive role leading up to the acquisition of the military hardware.

In the statement signed by its Chairman Niyi Akinsiju and Secretary Cassidy Madueke, the BMO said, “It has come to our notice that former Senate President and presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Bukola Saraki had been giving the impression that an intervention he spearheaded paved way for the sale of the aircraft to Nigeria.

6. I almost committed suicide, KOK opens up on terrifying childhood

Nollywood actor-turned-lawyer, Kanayo O Kanayo recently relived memories of his childhood, recalling how he almost committed suicide while living with his elder brother in Enugu.

The actor made this startling revelation in an interview Vanguard.

He said then he used to hawk Agidi on the streets of Enugu and in one of those dark days while he was crossing Abakpa Bridge to hawk Agidi, he looked into the deep water when a voice urged him to jump into the water and end his suffering.

Following what he was passing through as a child living with his elder brother in the city, KOK said he was exposed to child labour, which almost got him frustrated.
