Abuja — The Citizens Support For Good Governance (CSGG) has issued a comprehensive nationwide appeal calling on Nigerians from all walks of life to actively support ongoing reforms aimed at defeating insecurity, strengthening national unity, and safeguarding the country’s future. In a strongly worded statement, CSGG urged citizens to expose what it described as “wicked entrepreneurs” and dangerous elements within communities who profit from violence, instability, and fear.  According to the group, insecurity thrives not only through armed criminals, but also through collaborators, financiers, propagandists, and silent enablers who hide within society. The organization emphasized that different segments of society possess critical intelligence that can help dismantle criminal networks. “Market women know suspicious lifestyles and unexplained wealth. Bankers understand abnormal financial movements. Students, youths, civil society actors, political party stakeholders, trad...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Ulamah, legal practitioners, media practitioners, CSOs, Northern Youth, and Elders Forum strongly condemn the detention of former Minister Abubakar Malami by the EFCC for days without evidence or trial, a clear violation of the Nigerian Constitution. In a joint press statement signed by Coordinator Dr. Abdulkadeer Abdulkareem, the groups express outrage: "Detaining a former minister without proof or court proceedings is unacceptable. This smacks of political vendetta, not justice." The coalition questions the timing, highlighting that Malami was detained only after switching parties: "Why now? Why was he not invited before he left APC? This raises troubling suspicions." The statement concludes with a firm demand: 1. The immediate and unconditional release of Abubakar Malami. 2. An end to what they describe as "baseless harassment driven by political motives." Key excerpts: "We warn the EFCC and the federal government:...

A request letter written by Comrade Musa Mohammed (Moonlight) to Hon. Sadiq Mamman Lagos, Commissioner of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Kaduna State, seeking disclosure of capital allocation and expenditure for the 23 Local Government Areas (LGAs) from 2023 to date, has sparked controversy. The letter, submitted to the ministry and shared on social media, has drawn criticism from some quarters, with accusations that Mohammed has overstepped his bounds. Critics question his right to request the information and speculate about the consequences if the ministry refuses to comply. However, Mohammed remains undeterred, citing the Freedom of Information Act, 2011, and relevant provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. "I am exercising my right to information," he stated. Mohammed warned that failure by the commissioner and the ministry to provide the requested records will compel him to seek redress through legal channels, including f...

The timing of Malami's invitation and detention has raised suspicions about the EFCC's motives. His decision to join another party might be seen as a factor, but without clear evidence, it's hard to say for sure. The EFCC should clarify their reasons for detaining him, and if it's related to his new party affiliation, that would be concerning. His detention is likely to be seen as politically motivated by some, especially given the history of political figures facing scrutiny after switching parties. The Coalition of North West Political Forum, have condemned the detention and subsequent detention of a loyalist to former president Muhammadu Buhari, Abubakar Malami. While the group described the detention as a proof of the level of intimidation meted on the oppositions, expressed serious concern over the disdain at which the federal government is displaying impunity. The political forum, in a statement issued to news men in Abuja on Wednesday, and signed by t...
