Ohanaeze Rejects Atiku’s Call For Umahi’s Suspension, Urges Due Process Over Mary Habila’s Death

ABUJA — Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has rejected calls by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for the suspension and resignation of the Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, over the death of Miss Mary Habila, insisting that due process must take precedence over political pressure. In a statement issued on Friday and jointly signed by its Deputy President General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, and Deputy Secretary General, Professor Chibuikeya Achoakawa, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation described the demands for Umahi's resignation as premature, politically motivated and inconsistent with the principles of justice and fairness.

Seun Vs Ali Modu Sheriff: When Journalists Stop Asking Hard Questions, Falsehood Wins, Lies Gain Credence

Seun Vs Ali Modu Sheriff: When Journalists Stop Asking Hard Questions, Falsehood Wins, Lies Gain Credence

The recent edition of Politics Today on Channels Television, anchored by Mr. Seun Okinbaloye, once again brought to the fore an issue that should concern every Nigerian who values responsible journalism.
