In a shocking display of insensitivity, the Akwa Ibom State Government, through the Uyo Capital City Development Authority (UCCDA), has demolished roadside kiosks, pos stands, and food joints along Stadium Road, leaving numerous small business owners in ruins. This destructive act comes at a time when the state is already grappling with economic downturn, exacerbating the suffering of the people.

The demolition exercise, described as barbaric by citizens, has not only destroyed livelihoods but also perpetuated poverty and hunger. The affected business owners, who were already struggling to make ends meet, are now left with nothing. The question on everyone’s lips is: how will these people survive now that their only source of income has been brutally taken away?

The government’s actions are a stark contradiction to their supposed mandate to provide for and support their citizens. Instead, they have chosen to inflict more pain and hardship on the very people they are meant to serve. This callous decision raises questions about the government’s priorities and their understanding of the economic realities facing the state.

Akwa Ibom State citizens have condemned in totality, the Government’s destructive actions and demand that they take immediate steps to address the plight of the affected business owners. The government must provide alternative solutions and support to help these entrepreneurs recover from this devastating blow.

The people of Akwa Ibom deserve better from their government. It is time for the government to prioritize the welfare of its citizens and work towards creating an enabling environment for small businesses to thrive, rather than destroying them. — feeling sad.

The Nigeria police on Monday stormed the national headquarters of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as both the embattled National Secretary of the party, Samuel Anyanwu and Ude Okoye, whom the Court of Appeal declared as the authentic National Secretary of the party are set to resume work today.

DAILY POST reports that both Anyanwu and Okoye are laying claim to the office of the national secretary of the PDP.

The ongoing rustle started after Anyanwu contested for the Imo State governorship election, an exercise he lost to the incumbent.

Upon his return to the party, Okoye who held sway while he was away, challenged his right to return to an office he vacated to contest for an election in his state.

The court had ruled in favour of Okoye and last week.

The PDP national working committee had acknowledged Okoye as the legally recognised National Secretary of the party, maintaining that the party has a high regard for the pronouncement of the Court of Appeal.

A Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt on Monday sacked Chukwuemeka Aaron, the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state.

Chukwuemeka is a loyalist of the former governor of the state, Nyesom Wike, who is currently the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.

Justice Stephen Jumbo in his ruling nullified the PDP ward, local government and state congresses held in the state in July 2024.

The development is coming barely one month after another High Court nullified the ward, local government and state congresses of the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state.

The ruling sacked another Wike loyalist, Chief Tony Okocha, as the Rivers State chairman of the APC.

DAILY POST reports that the court’s decision to sack the PDP chairman followed a dispute over the legitimacy of the PDP congresses.

The congresses were conducted by a faction of the party loyal to Wike.

A State High Court presided over by Justice Charles Wali had on July 20, 2024, stopped the PDP from going ahead with the ward, local government and state congresses.
