Federal lawmaker charges youths to protect government properties

The member representing Ndokwa and Ukwani Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Nicholas Ossai, has charged youths to protect government establishments in their communities.
Mr Edafe Ejohwemu, the Public enlightenment officer of the Delta ministry of information disclosed this in a press statement which made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Asaba.
He said that Ossai appealed to the youths not to allow themselves to be used to destroy government properties as they are there for their own benefits.
He said “You should be vigilant at all times to report any suspicious character in their domain to the police.”
Ossai observed that the importance of dialogue could not be over emphasised, stating that the youths should always use constitutional means to express themselves.
He assured them that their demands would surely be met, cautioning that secession is not the solution to the problem facing the country.
Ossai said those clamouring for secession do not mean well for the country.
He appealed to youths, especially members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to sheath their sword and take advantage of the constitutional amendment debate put in place by the federal government.
Responding on behalf of the youth executives, the youth leader from Ndokwa West, Comrade Osondu Gift, thanked the lawmaker for his support for the youths especially his periodic youth empowerment programmes.
He assured them that they were ready to work with security agencies to secure government property. (NAN)

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.
