BREAKING: FG orders probe into Air Peace, Oshiomhole airport incident
Air Peace

Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, has ordered a thorough investigation into the altercation between Air Peace and Senator Adams Oshiomhole at the Lagos airport on Wednesday.

Keyamo, in a statement on Friday, said he has been in direct contact with both parties since the incident occurred.

“I also directed the aviation agencies to exercise restraint in jumping to conclusions, in line with the time-honoured legal principle of ‘hear all sides’ before reaching judgment,” he wrote on X.

The minister appealed to both sides to stop the public accusations and counter-accusations and directed the relevant agencies to gather evidence and report back to his office.

He said the findings will help guide future conduct in similar situations.

Appeal Court Refuses APC s Relist Request Dismisses Yes No Chairmen Case
The Court of Appeal sitting in Akure has reportedly struck out a request by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to relist its appeal against the Federal High Court judgment that nullified the controversial October 15, 2022 local government elections in Osun State.OSUN DEFENDER reports that the Federal High Court sitting in Osogbo had nullified the election that produced the APC council chairmen.However, there has been a political crisis since a Court of Appeal judgement which reportedly reinstated the APC council chairmen, according to the APC, a claim that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has always debunked.In a unanimous decision, Justice Peter Obiorah, who read the lead judgement on Friday, also condemned APC’s misrepresentation of its February 10, 2025 judgment.The court reportedly clarified that it never reinstated the sacked APC chairmen, warning the party against distorting the court’s decisions for political gain.The justices travis scott air jordan 1 retro low og black olive release date fall 2024 emphasized that the judiciary must not be treated as an extension of any political organization.“It is a case of violenti non fit injúria, they cannot complain nike air jordan 1 low outlet on a self-inflicted injury. Equity aids the vigilant, and not the indolent,” the Appeal Court held.Justice Obiorah further held that “If they knew their tenure is just three years, and they went to sleep over their Appeal against their sack for two years, it is inconceivable.”“There are three appellants with one joint Notice of Appeal, only one party is making an application to relist. Even if that one party can come alone, what are the reasons for bringing this application? If the APC is sincere, as a party that has many candidates affected by the Appeal, one wonders why they went to sleep and failed to transmit records on time in accordance with the law and the rules of the court.“I draw attention to this fact in order to show that the 3rd appellant applicant (APC) who was pursuing the sister appeal based on the same facts and similar judgement of the same Judex, Ayo Emmanuel J, cannot claim ignorance for not compiling the records of Appeal or have any credible reason for abandoning the prosecution of this Appeal that was dismissed on the 13th day of January, 2025. The sudden attempt to resurrect this appeal through this same court will only lead to confusion and this Court will resist such attempt to lure it to unwittingly seat on Appeal in CA/AK/270/2022. Everything in this application shows that the third Air Jordan 1 Retro High Top 3 appellant has not shown good air jordan 1 low og florida gators pe cause why this application should be granted. The fate that has befallen them is self-inflicted. It is therefore my conclusion that this Appeal lacks merit and it is accordingly, dismissed,” the judges reportedly ruled.Meanwhile, the Certified True Copy of the judgement has not been released

Stop Pretending Declare For Governor If You Want To Contest Kalu Tells Dep Speaker
Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, representing Abia North Senatorial District, has insisted that the Deputy Speaker of the Federal House of Assembly, Rt Hon. Benjamin Kalu, cannot be a “holder and beholderSen. Kalu, who stated this in his country home while fielding questions from newsmen on Tuesday, said if Ben Kalu wishes to run for governor, he should come out in the open and declare it.He added that he has advised his brother against contesting Benjamin Kalu.“I have asked my brother to back off. He and Ben Kalu cannot run together. So if Benjamin Kalu wants to run, let him come out and declare he wants to run for governor so we prepare to win the governorship. If he is not running, let him go back and run for his House of Representatives seat. But he cannot be a holder and a beholder; that is where I stand.”Speaking of why he was absent at the Renewed Hope Partners organised by the Deputy Speaker last weekend, Kalu dismissed any political disagreement with Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu, affirming their close relationship. He, however, called for clarity on Benjamin Kalu’s political ambitions.“I am always with him in Abuja; whenever he has time, he comes to see me. I have no problems with him. “It’s just, let him say what he wants,” he echoed.On his visit to Governor Alex Otti of Abia State and the revelation from Otti that he is Kalu’s infrastructural template to develop Aba, Kalu said that during his time as governor, his target was to build Aba to use the resources to build other places and that’s what he did.“There’s nowhere in Africa that people do not know Aba and Enyimba City and that starts with securing the people. I created the Bakassi boys and they worked with the police and DSS to secure the place. This shows the people who said we didn’t do anything in the state. I laid the foundation and worked with a template to build the Aba and Umuahia, adding Ohambele.“My visit to Gov. Otti is very private. I’m the oldest governor of Abia State. I have the right to go to Governor Alex Otti. My discussion with him is about the state. I’m building 5 factories in Igbere which will take off in the next one year and before long, it will start processing so I need peace and unity in this place.“I’m APC to the core and I’ve said that I’ll pull the trigger for the party. APC should work hard to deliver the party in the state and Federal and we are committed to that.“I’m a high-ranking member of the APC. To suspend me from the party, you will have to go to the NEC. So we need to make APC win in other places. Politics is not all about carrying crowds because young men who are in politics to make money are making noise. We don’t do that. I’ve been in business for 40 years and I’ve a track record,” he said.
