Ghanaian President, John Mahama, on Thursday called for continued dialogue between ECOWAS, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger.

Mahama made this call during a courtesy visit to President Bola Tinubu at the State House in Abuja.

Visiting Tinubu for the first time since his inauguration on Jan. 7, Mahama said he came to express his gratitude for the honour accorded him during his inauguration and to brief Tinubu on his visits to Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger.

“As ECOWAS chairman, it is my duty to brief him on some of the concerns raised during those visits so that we can continue dialogue with these countries.

“We just need to find ways to keep the conversation going,” he said.

Tinubu commended Mahama’s efforts to strengthen ties between ECOWAS and the Sahel countries.

He said that if left unchecked, the security challenges in the Sahel region could hinder economic opportunities.

President Tinubu, therefore, stressed the need for ongoing dialogue to ensure the security and prosperity of the region’s citizens.

 Prince Andrew’s s3x accuser, Virginia Guiffre has said she mistakenly posted the claim that she had just four days left to live to her public Instagram. Ms Giuffre, 41, sparked concerns online when she shared a photo of her ‘battered and bruised’ claiming she was dying after being hit by a school bus. Ms. Giuffre said a speeding vehicle had ploughed into her car and that doctors had told her she had four days to live.  Today she issued a statement to clarify the circumstances of a ‘car crash’ that caused her injuries and ‘kidney failure’.  The statement said: ‘Virginia thanks everyone for the outpouring of love and support. She is overwhelmed with gratitude.  ‘Today she remains in serious condition while receiving medical care. On March 24, in rural Western Australia, a school bus hit the car in which she was riding.  ‘The police were called but said that there was no one available to come to the scene.  ‘They asked if anyone was injured and suggested that if they were, they should make their way to the hospital.  ‘The school bus driver had a bus full of distraught children and left the scene to get them back, saying he would file a police report, which he did later.  ‘Virginia was banged up and bruised and returned home. Virginia’s condition worsened and she was admitted to the hospital.  ‘Concerning her Instagram post, Virginia thought that she had posted on her private Facebook page.  ‘Virginia and her family thank everyone for their concern.’ She is currently being treated at Sir Charles Gardiner Hospital in Perth, Australia. PRI 223718191 1743433016In January, the last batch of Epstein court papers to be released showed Ms Giuffre, 41, claimed she was paid $15,000 (12,000) to have s3x with Prince Andrew.  As part of a civil lawsuit against Epsteins former lover Ghislaine Maxwell, she told a judge of her alleged abuse by the Duke of York in 2016.  Asked under oath in 2016 over whether she was paid “by or on behalf of Jeffrey Epstein” for the encounter, which Andrew denies took place, she said: “Yes, I did receive $15,000.  “I dont know what equivalent that is to pounds. I received it in American dollars.”  Prince Andrew reached an out-of-court settlement with Ms Giuffre, ne Roberts, to avoid going to trial in 2022.  He had faced a public hearing over allegations he s3xually abused the American woman three times when she was just 17, and while she was the victim of a trafficking ring orchestrated by billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell.   The Duke has always strenuously denied the accusations.The post Prince Andrew’s s3x accuser, Virginia Giuffre says she mistakenly posted claim that she has four days left to live after car crash appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

PHOTOS: Edo tribunal verdict ‘leaked’ ahead of judgment day

Published

A day before the official ruling, a purported judgment from the Edo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has surfaced online, revealing a divided decision on the petition challenging Governor Monday Okpebholo’s victory.

The tribunal, chaired by Justice Wilfred Kpochi, is expected to announce its verdict on Wednesday, April 2.

However, leaked documents suggest a two-to-one ruling dismissing the petition filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Asue Ighodalo.

According to the leaked decision, Justice Kpochi and Justice A.B. Yusuf ruled in favor of Okpebholo, while Justice A.A. Adewole dissented, arguing that the election results should have been reversed.

Justice Adewole’s minority judgment contended that the election did not comply substantially with the Electoral Act and that Ighodalo had proven his case.

“The petitioners’ case was not rebutted, and they showed unit by unit how the actual total should be 243,113 votes, while the 2nd Respondent’s tally should stand at 210,326 votes—a clear reversal of the declared result,” he stated.

In contrast, the majority ruling acknowledged irregularities, including over-voting and missing serial numbers in EC 25B forms, but maintained that these did not significantly affect the overall outcome.

“The petitioners have not discharged the dual burden to the satisfaction of the law. Accordingly, the petition lacks merit and is hereby dismissed,” the judgment read.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had previously declared Okpebholo, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, the winner with 291,667 votes, defeating Ighodalo, who polled 247,655 votes.

Unconvinced, the PDP took the matter to the tribunal, citing widespread irregularities.

The leaked documents have stirred political tension, with many awaiting the tribunal’s official verdict to confirm whether the leaked judgment aligns with the final decision.

Trump administration delays plan to ban people from 43 countries from travelling to the US

The Trump administration’s plan to ban people from 43 countries from travelling to the US is delayed indefinitely. Trump issued an executive order on January 20 requiring intensified security vetting of any foreigners seeking admission to the US to detect national security threats.  Back in March, the White House put out a memo that showed countries divided into three separate groups – including full visa suspensions and partial suspensions. Many are from the Middle East and Africa, with Afghanistan, Cuba, Iran and North Korea among the 11 who face the most drastic measures.In the second group, 10 countries would face partial suspensions that would impact tourist and student visas as well as other immigrant visas, with some exceptions. And in a third group, a total of 22 countries would be considered for a partial suspension of US visa issuance if their governments ‘do not make efforts to address deficiencies within 60 days’, the memo said. Trump’s ban has now been delayed because the State Department continues to miss deadlines to submit a report detailing recommendations for restrictions.  They were originally due on March 21 but department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said Monday that it’s still being worked on.   ‘I can tell you that were working on what the executive order asked for, which is not travel bans of course but the nature of restrictions from other countries if whether or not they meet the standard of security and vetting thats required for entry into the United States,’ she said. A new deadline for the report to reach Trump’s desk does not currently exist but Bruce confirmed it is still in the works.  ‘Again, because theres not a date, it doesnt mean that its not being worked on. So we are all working to implement what President Trump has ordered,’ she said.The post Trump administration delays plan toban people from 43 countries from travelling to the US appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
