Women group in the Niger Delta region has commended the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio and the Senate on its role in trade disputes between the Federal Government and the Labour Unions, which led to the suspension of the strike by the Resident Doctors and the planned protests by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC).
The commendation was contained in a press statement by Mothers and Female Stakeholders in the Niger Delta Region under the aegis of Niger Delta Women League in support of the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio.

Co-ordinator as well as coordinators in other states of the region and the FCT, the women expressed confidence in the ability the Senate President to partner with the Executive to deliver good governance.
“We the leaders and members of the above nonpartisan and non-government association hereby state that we are impressed with the current leadership of the 10th Senate under the transparent leadership of Senator Godswill Akpabio.
“We also call on the generality of Nigerians particularly our women to rally round the current leadership in their avowed commitment to making life meaningful and bearable to Nigerians through human faced legislation.
“Our women and children are very impressed with the intervention of the Senate Leadership in the NLC, TUC and NARD crises which led to the resolution of the crises. Not forgetting their stoppage of the planned increase in electricity tariff by DISCOS.
“We condemn plans by some sponsored groups in the south or any part of the country to call for the resignation of the President of the Senate on a matter that the Senate bureaucracy led by the Clerk of the National Assembly has come out to state that the money was the running cost of the Senators and appropriated for in 2023 budget.

Opposition no longer safe with recruitment of Osun PDP members into Amotekun – APM

The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in Osun State has raised concerns over the alleged recruitment of members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) into the state’s Amotekun Corps, claiming it threatens the safety of opposition members.
In a statement issued on Friday, APM Chairman, Mr. Adewale Adebayo, criticized the recruitment process, alleging that non-PDP applicants were deliberately screened out. He warned that Amotekun, originally created to enhance security, was being turned into a political tool.
“We are disturbed by the protest by well-meaning Osun residents who applied but were deliberately excluded because they are not PDP members,” Adebayo stated.
He further alleged that over 1,000 PDP members had been recruited into the corps, describing it as an attempt to silence opposition voices. According to him, the recruitment exercise was merely a formality to cover up a pre-arranged selection process favoring ruling party members.
APM has called for the resignation of the Corps Commandant and Field Commandant of Amotekun, demanding an apology to the affected applicants and the people of the state. The party insisted that the security outfit must remain apolitical to maintain public trust.
Neither the Osun State Government nor the leadership of Amotekun has responded to the allegations as of the time of this report.
