The Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President Bola Tinubu, Temitope Ajayi, said this on Wednesday in reaction to the US presidential candidates debate held on Tuesday night, between Democrat candidate, Donald Trump and Republican candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris.Ajayi said like Peter Obi, Trump would use unimaginable negative words to describe a country he wants to lead just to win the sympathy of voters.The Governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum, has confirmed the receipt of a flood intervention fund of ₦3 billion from the Federal Government, which will be utilized to tackle the challenges posed by the recent flooding.Naija News reports that over one million individuals have been displaced due to the catastrophic floods in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State.Governor Zulum gave more information regarding the devastating events on Wednesday during a donation of cash to those seeking refuge at the Bakassi IDP camp along the Biu-Damboa road in Maiduguri.Zulum announced that food supplies and other essential items would be provided, with vendors engaged to supply meals to the displaced individuals in the camp.As part of long-term strategies, the governor indicated that a health committee will be established to monitor potential disease outbreaks and mitigate their effects.He stated that search and rescue operations have commenced in the affected communities to assess casualties, and data collection of those impacted will begin immediately.Regarding the flood’s cause, the governor attributed it to the heavy rainfall experienced this year.Zulum noted that urban development has obstructed water channels throughout the state capital, impeding natural water flow.Additionally, he pointed to the overflow of the Alo Dam, which was exacerbated by the release of water from other dams in Cameroon.Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in Abuja, on Wednesday, issued a ruling granting bail to ten #EndBadGovernance protesters who had been detained on charges including treason.Each defendant was granted bail set at ₦10 million, along with the requirement of one surety in the same amount.In his ruling, Justice Nwite emphasized the principle of presumption of innocence, asserting that anyone charged with a criminal offense is presumed innocent until proven guilty.He acknowledged the arguments presented by the defense counsel, particularly Abubakar Marshall, representing the 1st, 2nd, and 4th defendants.Despite the serious nature of the charges, Justice Nwite decided to grant bail to all ten defendants, stating, “I have carefully considered the submission of the counsel on both divides. I hereby grant the defendants bail notwithstanding the crime.Justice Nwite approved their bail applications, stipulating that each defendant must secure a surety who is both a property owner and resident in Abuja.These sureties are required to provide property documents and an affidavit of means to the court. Additionally, both defendants and sureties must submit their international passports and three recent passport-sized photographs.Justice Nwite overruled the Inspector General of Police’s objections to the bail requests and imposed a restriction prohibiting the defendants from participating in any public demonstrations during their trial.Until bail conditions are met, the defendants will remain in custody, while their trial is scheduled to begin on September 27.Former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Kingsley Moghalu, has said that he has declined all requests for interviews on the country’s economy crisis over the past several months.Moghalu explained that he decided to stay silent because he does not see the need to dialogue with the deaf.He asserted that he has already spoken several times on how to fix the Nigerian economy, and anyone interested should go find his previous interviews.Speaking via his X handle, the former deputy governor lamented that despite not needing Nigeria economy to survive, he has been concerned about the situation in the country out of passion.

Early on Wednesday morning, the garrison town of Bassa in the Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State came under severe attack from suspected Boko Haram terrorists.According to local sources who spoke with Premium Times, the community has been subjected to sporadic gunfire since approximately 5:30 a.m.The attack marks yet another violent incident in a town that has seen its fair share of conflict, including a significant attack earlier this year where several soldiers, including a captain, were killed.This incident had previously led to the withdrawal of troops from the area.However, the government had redeployed joint security forces recently to bolster the town’s defense, allowing residents to return to their homes.Sources report that as the attack commenced, security operatives instructed residents to remain indoors while they engaged the attackers.The ongoing violence in Bassa is attributed to the presence of Boko Haram militants in the nearby Allawa forest reserve, turning the area into a frequent battleground.The region has suffered extensively, with bandits and terrorists infiltrating from neighboring states such as Zamfara and Kaduna, utilizing the Kuyambana and Kamuku forest reserves as their pathways.The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams, has said President Bola Tinubu’s government offers no hope for Nigerians.The National Leader of Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) said all economic and security policies of President Tinubu have only worsened the situation of Nigerians.In his “State of the Nation” open letter on Tuesday, the Aare Ona Kakanfo accused Tinubu of turning a dictator by charging #EndBadGovernance protesters with treason for doing what he had always done to other administrations.He reminded the President that by 29 May 2023, a liter of fuel only cost less than ₦200, but with his “subsidy is gone” statement fuel has gone to over ₦1000 per liter, and Naira to Dollar was less than what it is in his administration.Adams told President Tinubu that insecurity has worsened in his administration and his government has not been doing enough to curb it.The leader of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) accused the President of mismanaging the August 1 hunger protest.

The Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President Bola Tinubu, Temitope Ajayi, said this on Wednesday in reaction to the US presidential candidates debate held on Tuesday night, between Democrat candidate, Donald Trump and Republican candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris.Ajayi said like Peter Obi, Trump would use unimaginable negative words to describe a country he wants to lead just to win the sympathy of voters.The Governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum, has confirmed the receipt of a flood intervention fund of ₦3 billion from the Federal Government, which will be utilized to tackle the challenges posed by the recent flooding.Naija News reports that over one million individuals have been displaced due to the catastrophic floods in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State.Governor Zulum gave more information regarding the devastating events on Wednesday during a donation of cash to those seeking refuge at the Bakassi IDP camp along the Biu-Damboa road in Maiduguri.Zulum announced that food supplies and other essential items would be provided, with vendors engaged to supply meals to the displaced individuals in the camp.As part of long-term strategies, the governor indicated that a health committee will be established to monitor potential disease outbreaks and mitigate their effects.He stated that search and rescue operations have commenced in the affected communities to assess casualties, and data collection of those impacted will begin immediately.Regarding the flood’s cause, the governor attributed it to the heavy rainfall experienced this year.Zulum noted that urban development has obstructed water channels throughout the state capital, impeding natural water flow.Additionally, he pointed to the overflow of the Alo Dam, which was exacerbated by the release of water from other dams in Cameroon.Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in Abuja, on Wednesday, issued a ruling granting bail to ten #EndBadGovernance protesters who had been detained on charges including treason.Each defendant was granted bail set at ₦10 million, along with the requirement of one surety in the same amount.In his ruling, Justice Nwite emphasized the principle of presumption of innocence, asserting that anyone charged with a criminal offense is presumed innocent until proven guilty.He acknowledged the arguments presented by the defense counsel, particularly Abubakar Marshall, representing the 1st, 2nd, and 4th defendants.Despite the serious nature of the charges, Justice Nwite decided to grant bail to all ten defendants, stating, “I have carefully considered the submission of the counsel on both divides. I hereby grant the defendants bail notwithstanding the crime.Justice Nwite approved their bail applications, stipulating that each defendant must secure a surety who is both a property owner and resident in Abuja.These sureties are required to provide property documents and an affidavit of means to the court. Additionally, both defendants and sureties must submit their international passports and three recent passport-sized photographs.Justice Nwite overruled the Inspector General of Police’s objections to the bail requests and imposed a restriction prohibiting the defendants from participating in any public demonstrations during their trial.Until bail conditions are met, the defendants will remain in custody, while their trial is scheduled to begin on September 27.Former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Kingsley Moghalu, has said that he has declined all requests for interviews on the country’s economy crisis over the past several months.Moghalu explained that he decided to stay silent because he does not see the need to dialogue with the deaf.He asserted that he has already spoken several times on how to fix the Nigerian economy, and anyone interested should go find his previous interviews.Speaking via his X handle, the former deputy governor lamented that despite not needing Nigeria economy to survive, he has been concerned about the situation in the country out of passion.

Early on Wednesday morning, the garrison town of Bassa in the Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State came under severe attack from suspected Boko Haram terrorists.According to local sources who spoke with Premium Times, the community has been subjected to sporadic gunfire since approximately 5:30 a.m.The attack marks yet another violent incident in a town that has seen its fair share of conflict, including a significant attack earlier this year where several soldiers, including a captain, were killed.This incident had previously led to the withdrawal of troops from the area.However, the government had redeployed joint security forces recently to bolster the town’s defense, allowing residents to return to their homes.Sources report that as the attack commenced, security operatives instructed residents to remain indoors while they engaged the attackers.The ongoing violence in Bassa is attributed to the presence of Boko Haram militants in the nearby Allawa forest reserve, turning the area into a frequent battleground.The region has suffered extensively, with bandits and terrorists infiltrating from neighboring states such as Zamfara and Kaduna, utilizing the Kuyambana and Kamuku forest reserves as their pathways.The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams, has said President Bola Tinubu’s government offers no hope for Nigerians.The National Leader of Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) said all economic and security policies of President Tinubu have only worsened the situation of Nigerians.In his “State of the Nation” open letter on Tuesday, the Aare Ona Kakanfo accused Tinubu of turning a dictator by charging #EndBadGovernance protesters with treason for doing what he had always done to other administrations.He reminded the President that by 29 May 2023, a liter of fuel only cost less than ₦200, but with his “subsidy is gone” statement fuel has gone to over ₦1000 per liter, and Naira to Dollar was less than what it is in his administration.Adams told President Tinubu that insecurity has worsened in his administration and his government has not been doing enough to curb it.The leader of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) accused the President of mismanaging the August 1 hunger protest. He decried the clampdown on civil society organizations by security agencies.Google News That’s the top Nigerian newspaper headlines for today. Read more Nigerian news on Naija News.

By • Olalekan Fagbade Ignore terror alert instructions by US - Federal Government tells Nigerians Following travel advisory by the United States, the Federal Government yesterday said there is no cause for panic by Nigerians. It also said it will ensure the safety and well-being of all Nigerians and visitors. It said security and intelligence agencies have been constantly at work, foiling threats, and neutralizing bandits. It said the Nigerian Air Force has been busy with successful airstrikes against criminals and terrorists in the Northeast and Northwest. It allayed fears that the crisis in Niger Republic might fuel terrorism in Nigeria. The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alh. Mohammed Idris, who spoke at a session with journalists, said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was determined to secure the country. The interactive session was attended by the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to the President, Mr. Bayo Onanuga; the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media, Mr. Tunde Rahman; the Director-General, National Orientation Agency(NOA), Alh. Lanre Issa-Onilu; the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Tope Ajayi and the Managing Director of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Alh. Ali. M. Ali. Others included the Director-General of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), Mr. Charles Ebuebu and the Director-General of the Voice of Nigeria (VON), Mallam Jibrin Baba Ndace. But the Minister said travel advisories do not achieve anything other than needless panic. He said: “We understand the concerns raised by the United States government in their recent travel advisory, but believe that it is imperative that we do not generalize isolated incidents across the entire hospitality industry. “What we have seen is that such advisories do not achieve anything other than needless panic, and they can have severe adverse economic impact, not to talk of what they do to undermine the government’s efforts to attract investment. “We have consistently prioritized the safety and well-being of all visitors to our country. We have implemented comprehensive security measures, both at the Federal and State levels, to ensure the safety of tourists and international guests. “These measures include intense intelligence gathering, acquisition and deployment of additional platforms, training and re-training of personnel, cooperation with international law enforcement agencies, among others, to maintain a secure environment.” Idris said security and intelligence agencies are constantly at work, foiling threats, and neutralizing bandits and terrorists. He listed the gains recorded by the agencies in the last one week, including successful airstrikes. He added: “The Nigeria government is dedicated to ensuring the safety and well-being of all Nigerians and visitors to our country and will continue to work towards maintaining a secure and hospitable environment for tourists and business travelers and the likes. “Our security agencies have been very busy, doing their best to keep us all safe. I will highlight just a few of those successes in recent days: In various parts of Kaduna State, seven bandits were neutralized, in various operations between the 1st and 3rd of November. "In Kano State, on November 3, a joint operation by troops of the Nigerian Army and the Department of State Services carried out a dawn raid operation on terrorists’ hideout in Gezawa Local Government Area, successfully averting an imminent attack on Kano by insurgents. The operation recovered AK 47 Rifles, AK 47 Rifle Magazines, a Rocket Propelled Gun (RPG), RPG Bombs, Hand Grenades, Improvised Explosive Device (IED)-making materials, among others. “In Katsina, two NYSC members abducted by bandits were successfully rescued. In the North-East and North-West of the country, the Nigerian Air Force has been very busy, with several successful airstrikes on bandits’ and terrorists’ camps and hideouts in Katsina, Zamfara and Borno States.

“The Air Force has also recently taken delivery of 4 new aircraft, to strengthen the fight against banditry and terrorism. In our maritime environment, on October 25, the Eastern and Central Naval Commands flagged off a Joint Sea Exercise, Exercise SEA GUARDIAN 2023. “I have taken some time to outline some of these efforts to make the point that our security and intelligence agencies are constantly at work, foiling threats, and neutralizing those who seek to undermine the security of the country. And for this reason, they deserve the full support of all Nigerians, the media included. Please pay attention to what they’re doing, and give amplified coverage to their successes and gains. “The bandits, terrorists, kidnappers, pirates and so on are waging not only a physical battle but also a psychological one. Idris dismissed insinuations that the political crisis in Niger Republic could fuel terrorism in the country. He said the President was balancing the needs of ECOWAS with the nation. On security yacht, he said: “It’s not as if the Yacht was bought for the comfort of the president but something that was procured for the Navy. “It is true that delivery has taken place since June. It is not as if the President is just putting in the request now. You can see what has happened in the National Assembly. The money put there has been taken out to the student loan arrangement. “This government is very sensitive, it is always responding to the yearnings of all Nigerians and therefore whenever there is any commentary or any observation about any government policy, it will continue to respond appropriately for the benefit of all Nigerians. “But I want to plead with the media that this is just one aspect…there are so many things out there in the budget…there are provisions for food security, additional funding for security forces so Nigerians can be safe. On post oil subsidy removal economic interventions, he said: “President Tinubu and the Administration have been taking all necessary measures to alleviate the pains being felt, and to cushion the impact of these foundational reforms being pursued. These interventions are designed to serve as palliatives in the short and medium-term, while we wait to reap the long-term benefits of the reforms,” he said.
