Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu assures Nigerians of a people-oriented constitution. The Chairman of the 10th House of Representatives Committee on the Review of the 1999 Constitution, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu, has assured Nigerians of a constitution that truly reflects the aspirations and desires of the people.

Speaking at the closing ceremony of a two-day retreat for committee members in Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom State, on Saturday, Kalu, who also serves as the Deputy Speaker of the House, expressed his gratitude to the committee members for their dedication to the review process. He urged them to remain steadfast in their commitment to delivering a meaningful constitutional reform.

“We are so proud of you,” Kalu stated. “On behalf of the Speaker, the House leadership, and the National Assembly, we recognize the enormous responsibility placed upon you as members of this committee.

From the outset, we knew this task was challenging, but your commitment has given us confidence that we are on the right track.” Kalu emphasized the urgency of the exercise, noting that the committee is determined to complete a significant phase of the review before the upcoming election period.

He praised the team spirit and dedication exhibited by members, stating that their collective effort will bring Nigeria closer to a constitutional framework that is truly representative of the people’s aspirations.

“The journey towards achieving this goal has been marked by challenges, but our resilience and shared vision have kept us moving forward. We have heard the voices of the people, and we are committed to ensuring that their aspirations are reflected in the final document. This constitution will be one that truly embodies the will of Nigerians,” he added.

Kalu likened the committee’s role to that of architects shaping the future of Nigeria and urged members to continue working together beyond the retreat. “You are the architects of a greater Nigeria. You are the cooks in the kitchen baking a better future. Do not relent. Your hard work and dedication will yield rewards for all Nigerians,” he said.

He also acknowledged that the process comes with its challenges but reassured members that their diligence is paving the way for significant national progress. “Please let this unity among us continue. Let us remain partners in progress to make this vision a reality. The Speaker and I are proud of you,” he concluded.

Echoing Kalu’s sentiments, the Chairman of the House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Hon. Akin Rotimi Jnr, reaffirmed the committee’s commitment to ensuring that the constitutional review process remains inclusive, transparent, and reflective of the country’s diverse interests.

“The ADC remains proud to stand today as the only truly democratic party in Nigeria, because it is the only political party whose choice of Presidential candidate is determined through open primaries, “ the statement said.

The party noted that the conduct of all participants before, during, and after the primaries would send a strong signal to Nigerians about the kind of leadership culture the ADC seeks to build.

“We therefore urge all aspirants, their supporters, delegates, and party faithful to conduct themselves peacefully, responsibly, and with dignity throughout the process. This election must reflect the values we claim to represent as a party committed to transparency, internal democracy, national unity, and the rule of law,” Abdullahi stated.

Police Arrest TikToker For ‘Staging Fake Bandit Attack Video’ To Gain Followers

The Ogun state police command has reportedly arrested a man for allegedly staging and circulating a fake bandit attack video on social media to gain followers.

According to Zagazola Makama, a counterinsurgency publication, the incident was reported on May 23 after one Ayinla Sodiq from Obasanjo Ota appeared at a police station alongside the suspect identified as Qowiy Oloyede from Oriya Sokoto road, Atan Ota.

The complainant had accused the suspect of creating and sharing a misleading TikTok video falsely claiming that bandits had invaded the Atan Ota community.

The publication reported that the divisional police officer (DPO) immediately questioned the suspect, who allegedly confessed to fabricating the video to gain followers on social media.

In a viral video circulating on social media, the suspect was seen kneeling while being interrogated by a person dressed in a police uniform.

The suspect admitted in the video that he created the fake bandit attack content to gain followers and trend online.

He also said the herder featured in the clip was a cattle rearer who usually grazed cows behind his shop and had initially refused to participate before eventually agreeing.

The suspect further claimed he could neither read nor write, adding that his apprentice wrote the caption accompanying the video posted online.

He added that he had only produced and posted two similar videos, one on Monday and another on Wednesday.

The police authorities were said to have recovered photographs and video evidence linked to the fake publication during preliminary investigation.
