Asaba, April 25, 2025 – Harrison Gwamnishu, Senior Special Assistant on Civil Society and Youth Mobilization to Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, has resigned from his position effective immediately.

In a letter addressed to the Governor, Gwamnishu cited the state’s worsening insecurity situation as the reason for his resignation. Despite repeatedly bringing concerns and proposed solutions to the administration’s attention, Gwamnishu expressed disappointment that meaningful action has not been taken.

“I have come to the unfortunate realization that meaningful solutions are not being accepted by your administration,” Gwamnishu stated.

The resigned aide emphasized his commitment to the safety and well-being of Delta State communities, but lamented the lack of prioritization of insecurity issues.

Gwamnishu’s resignation letter has sparked renewed calls for the government to address the state’s security challenges.

The Governor’s office has yet to comment on the resignation.

US Senate Minority Leader, Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, has criticized President Donald Trump as he marks 100 days of his second stint in the White House this week.

Schumer said Trump’s first 100 days as president have been hell for the American people.

Trump was inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States on January 20, 2025.

His first 100 days of his second presidency will end on April 29 (Tuesday).

However, in a tweet via his X account on Monday morning, Schumer said: “Donald Trump’s first 100 days as president have been 100 days from hell for the American people.

“His first 100 days have been the worst for any president in modern history.”

This is coming after Schumer recently hailed the decision by a federal judge to temporarily block the Trump administration’s efforts to rescind collective bargaining rights from employees at nearly a dozen government agencies and departments.

Umar Sani, former spokesperson to ex-Vice President Namadi Sambo and a prominent chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of implementing policies that are steering Nigeria toward economic collapse.

In a statement issued on Sunday, Sani alleged that Tinubu’s administration is pursuing a “state capture agenda” and working to entrench a one-party system at the expense of the nation’s economic and political stability.

Sani criticized several key policy decisions taken by the President, particularly the removal of fuel subsidies, the floating of the naira, and the hike in electricity tariffs, describing them as reckless moves that have deepened poverty across the country.

“On the very first day in office, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu demonstrated a startling lack of compassion for Nigerians,” Sani stated.

“He admitted that two crucial decisions, removing fuel subsidy and altering the exchange rate regime, were announced spontaneously from the podium after his swearing-in.

“He confessed it took great courage to make those pronouncements.”

According to Sani, the removal of fuel subsidies and the floating of the naira unleashed “skyrocketing prices and hyperinflation,” severely damaging the economy and impacting the daily lives of millions of Nigerians almost immediately.

He further faulted the restructuring of electricity tariffs into Bands A, B, and C, accompanied by steep price increases, arguing that the move has worsened the hardship facing ordinary citizens.

“The categorization of electricity consumers and the sharp price hikes have only added to the burden of an already struggling populace,” Sani said.
