Days after the Council of State recommended presidential pardon for two former governors convicted of corruption and 157 other convicts, civil society organisations and lawyers have continued to react to the decision.
They told Sunday PUNCH in separate interviews that the pardon was a disincentive to the anti-corruption fight and that it would encourage people to steal. They also berated the President for the action, saying it was a political move, especially as the two former governors, jailed for stealing N2.7bn, are members of the ruling All Progressives Congress.
Peoples Democratic Party presidential aspirant and Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike argued that the corruption fight of the Federal Government is shrouded in ‘’despicable politics that puts Nigeria up for ridicule before the international community.’’
Wike made the observation on Saturday when he visited Niger State as part of his ongoing consultation with PDP delegates, according to a statement issued by his media aide, Kelvin Ebiri and made available to newsmen in Port Harcourt.
The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), will not force any of his ministers and other aides, who have political ambitions, to quit their jobs, Sunday PUNCH has learnt.
Rather, the President believes that the decision to quit his cabinet should be left for the individuals, claiming that the controversial provision in the Electoral Act demanding that such political appointees should resign had been overturned by the court.
Sunday PUNCH recalls that there had been pressure on the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, to resign following his declaration to contest the position of the President on the platform of the All Progressives Congress.
Apart from Amaechi, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, is also believed to be nursing a presidential ambition.
On April 1, 2022, when news filtered in that Adekunle Adetokunbo, an actor known for his comic performances and hilarious appearances in Yoruba movies was dead, his fans wished it was an April fool joke. It, however, turned out to be true.
The death of the actor, popularly addressed by his stage name, Dejo Tunfulu, came as a shock to many Nigerians, especially those who were unaware of his ill health.
Following allegations of medical negligence levelled against the Ikorodu General Hospital and the wide outcry that it generated, PUNCH Healthwise, interviewed his family members, acquaintances and fellow actors to get a good grasp of what actually transpired
Actress and filmmaker, Adebimpe Akintunde, aka Wasila Coded, has urged women to build their lives rather than investing emotions in men.
In an interview with Sunday Scoop, the actress said, “There is a popular adage that says, ‘If you want a woman to treat you like a king, you have to treat her like a queen’. Also, if a woman wants to be treated like a queen, she needs to treat her partner like a king too. My advice to women, either married or unmarried, is that instead of investing your emotions in the opposite sex, you should build up your life. So that wherever you find yourself in the future, picking up will not be an issue for you. Women stay in abusive marriages because of the fear of starting over. They ask, ‘How would I take care of the kids’? But if such women had been able to work on themselves and are empowered, they would have the courage to walk away or take a break. I keep telling people that marriage is overrated. If a woman is not married, does that mean she won’t do well in life? These days, one does not have to be married before one can have children. There are a lot of successful women who are not married, but look for ways to have children.”
Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State appears to be under pressure over alleged moves to impeach his deputy, Ude Oko Chukwu, as the immediate- past Secretary to the Government, SSG, Dr Eme Okoro, has challenged him to personally address Abians on the issue.
Okoro, who had, on Monday, warned against the alleged plot said Ikpeazu’s response exonerating himself from the alleged impeachment plot was not convincing enough.
He argued that the seriousness of the matter demanded the governor addressing it himself to douse the growing tension and not leaving it to his media aide.
“The tension in the state makes it a little more mandatory for my governor to speak to Abia people that he has no plans to impeach his deputy, “the erstwhile SSG said..
“He ought to elevate it to a level of peace-making. I know him very well that if he wants to douse tension, he can say: my people I have no plans to impeach my Deputy’; and not to send somebody to speak for him.”
The organization for the Advancement of Anioma culture, OFAAC, is staging a comeback with its annual flagship cultural festival, two years after a lull occasioned by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Palace of the Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III, has described as false a report which claimed the monarch endorsed a presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
A statement by the Director Palace Administration, Chief Clement Maleghemi, said the monarch is a father to all , adding that he is not into partisan politics.
“The attention of the palace of His Majesty, Ogiame Atuwatse III, the Olu of Warri has been drawn to the false publication in Independent newspaper and social media and the palace wishes to firmly rebut the statement claiming Ogiame’s endorsement of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and restates that Ogiame has no political affiliation or preferred candidate for any office in the forthcoming 2023 elections be it regional, sub regional or national level,” the statement said.
