Umueri, Anambra State— Sir Paul Chukwuma, the frontline governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2025 Anambra governorship election, has taken a significant step toward shaping his administration’s vision. On Tuesday, he inaugurated a high-powered Committee tasked with drafting a policy document and manifesto that will serve as the cornerstone of his pact with the people of Anambra.

## **Key Points from Sir Paul Chukwuma’s Address:**

1. **Insecurity**: Sir Paul acknowledges the pressing issue of insecurity in Anambra State. His administration aims to tackle it decisively, ensuring safety and peace for all residents.

2. **Human Capital Development**: Focusing on unlocking economic potential, he plans to link efforts to human capital development targets. Poverty alleviation and skill enhancement will be key priorities.

Abia State Governor, Alex Otti has said that members of the opposition are gathering in Abuja and other places with the intention of deceiving Abia people with fake news about his administration.

According to him, the members of the opposition have perfected a strategy to churn out fake and sometimes, real documents for propaganda purposes.

Otti stated this at Government House, Umuahia, on Monday while swearing in the Chairman and Deputy Chairmen of the 17 local government areas, together with elected councilors.

Otti, who did not mention the names of the opposition members, however, said that his administration was not afraid of such gatherings, as according to him, previous meetings held by such un-named persons failed and will fail again.

“Let me leave a word for the so-called opposition who are gathering in Abuja and elsewhere with the sole intention to deceive people and distract this government.

“They have perfected a strategy to churn out fake and sometimes real documents for false narratives and propaganda.

“Just like the Bible assures, because these gatherings are not of God, they will scatter. Do not take Abia people for granted.

“You have done this before and failed. What makes you think you will succeed this time given all the transformation that has happened in this state in less than 18 months? A word is enough for the wise,” Otti warned

In these difficult times, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, expressed his gratitude to the European political community for supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russia.

He stressed that Ukraine needs not only diplomatic support, but also sufficient weaponry to defend itself against Russian aggression.

“We are defending ourselves not against Russian words, but against Russian attacks. That’s why we need sufficient weapons, not support in negotiations. Embracing Putin won’t help,” said Mr. Zelensky.

The president pointed out that some world leaders have been trying to negotiate with the Russian dictator for many years, but that this has only made the situation worse.

Defence Headquarters has confirmed the emergence of a new terrorist group known as ‘Lukarawas’ in the Northwestern part of Nigeria

 

The Defence Headquarters has confirmed the emergence of a new terrorist group known as ‘Lukarawas’ in the Northwestern part of Nigeria. The Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. Edward Buba, disclosed this to newsmen in Abuja on Thursday, November 7, while speaking on the operations of the military.

Buba said that the new terror group emerged from the Republic of Niger after the coup that led to the breakdown of military cooperation between Nigeria and Niger.

He said that the terrorists began incursion into northern parts of Sokoto and Kebbi States from the Niger Republic and Mali axis, particularly after the coup in Niger Republic.

According to him, before the coup, there were joint border operations with Nigerien security forces, which kept the terrorists at bay.

“The terrorists took advantage of the gaps in cooperation between both countries and exploited difficult terrains to make incursions in remote areas in some North Western states to spread their ideology,” he said

Buba said that the group was accommodated by the locals, who initially thought that the group meant well for them, adding that they failed to report the movement to the military and security agencies.

He assuranced Nigerians that the Nigerian troops have sustained intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) to degrade the terrorists. He added that the terror group had continued to take advantage of the vast under-governed areas to hide and evade troops as well as harass the locals.

According to him, troops are locating them and eliminating the threat.
