"The politicians don't need our votes to get to power. Who do they need? The judges. That is why Nyesom Wike is building mansions for judges. That is why state governors are donating prados and land cruisers to judges across the states. That is why they're making sure judges are the best-paid people in Nigeria. Meanwhile, governors who cannot pay the minimum wage are feeding judges with the kind of money and emoluments you cannot add up." — @ChidiOdinkalu

We hereby call on the Rivers State Government, under the leadership of His Excellency the Executive Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara GSSRS, alongside relevant federal anti-corruption, financial, and regulatory agencies, to immediately institute a comprehensive, independent, and transparent probe into the eight-year tenure (2015–2023) of the former Governor of Rivers State and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Chief Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, CON.

Mob Justice in Edo: 16 Innocent Northern Travelers Killed Over False Accusations 💔
In a harrowing display of mob injustice, 16 innocent travelers from Northern Nigeria lost their lives in the Udune Efandion community of Uromi, Edo State, after being falsely accused of kidnapping. This unfathomable tragedy unfolded on Thursday, as an irate mob took the law into their own hands, fueled by false claims and sheer ignorance.
Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that the victims, primarily Hausa hunters, were en route from Port Harcourt to Kano for the Sallah festivities when they were intercepted around 1:30 p.m. by members of the Edo State Security Corps and local vigilantes.
The sight of their hunting guns. Dane guns commonly used in the North was misinterpreted as a threat. Instead of contacting the police, or other security agencies, local vigilantes raised a false alarm, which ignited a wave of chaos and violence.
The reaction was swift and brutal. Local youths, incited by the unfounded accusations, viciously attacked the travelers, resulting in the tragic loss of 16 lives on the spot. In a grotesque act of barbarism, the mob set the truck ablaze, leaving some bodies trapped inside the vehicle. While some people were taken out on wheelbarrow and thrown inside fire. This gruesome scene only point to the sickening reality of mob justice that has taken root in certain communities.
Responsive action from security operatives came too late for the victims. By the time they arrived on the scene following a distress call, the damage had been done. Four survivors were rescued and rushed to His Grace Hospital in Uromi for urgent medical treatment. Meanwhile, authorities have confirmed the arrest of five suspects, but is this enough? A mere handful of arrests cannot bring back those lost, nor can it alleviate the trauma inflicted on the surviving families.
The Hausa community in Uromi held an emergency peace meeting to address the situation and aims to prevent any further reprisals, yet questions linger. Will justice truly be served?
The police, responsible for maintaining law and order, have vowed that "the law must take its course" and that those responsible for these heinous acts will be brought to justice. But how can trust be restored when justice is often delayed or never served?
Public outrage at this incident is palpable, with cries for accountability ringing out across the nation. Many have called for urgent legal action against those involved, as well as heightened public awareness regarding the dangers of mob violence. The specter of extrajudicial killings looms large, threatening national unity and stoking the flames of ethnic tension.
Observers and community leaders implore the authorities to enhance law enforcement and improve intelligence sharing among security agencies to prevent such a horrific tragedy from happening again. When will this cycle of violence end? It is high time that justice is prioritized, and those who resort to mob action are held accountable for their barbarity.
In this dark chapter of Nigerian history, the need for a collective commitment to justice and peace has never been more urgent. The lives lost demand justice, and the survivors deserve the assurance that they can live without fear of becoming victims of false accusations and mob brutality.
Justice for the 16! “Let this tragedy serve as a wake-up call to all enough is enough”.

As part of activities to usher in 2025, I attended the New Year Eve service at St. Paul's Cathedral, Opobo Town.
It was an opportunity to appreciate God for all that He has done and continues to do for me as an individual and for our dear State.
The event was also to reassure Rivers people that God is with us and that we are committed to serving the State as I wish them a more productive year ahead in 2025.
Happy New Year!
@Gist_tweets @SimFubaraKSC Thank you, Your Excellency, for giving the youths of Rivers State a voice. We looked for this opportunity for 8 years but got none.
