Nigeria’s unity cannot be compromised- APC Scribe

Alhaji Maimala Buni, National Secretary, All Progressives Congress (APC), on Wednesday pledged his party’s commitment to preserving the unity of Nigeria.

He said in Damaturu on Wednesday that ensuring the indivisibility of the country was a task that could not be compromised under the APC government.

“For too long, Nigerians had been manipulated through primordial sentiments by poor and weak leadership at the expense of unity, development and improved welfare for the citizenry.

“This administration, under President Buhari, will always promote national unity and ensure the protection of lives and property of every citizen in every part of the country.

“President Buhari is honestly and courageously fighting corruption in Nigeria, no matter who is involved, and this has paid off both at home and at the international scene.

“The APC administration is determined to change the gross maladministration and weak commitment suffered by the nation in the past,” he assured.

Buni said the fight against corruption would be pursued vigorously to promote accountability, transparency and confidence in governance.

He described the removal of subsidy on petrol as plausible decision, saying it had ensured availability of the product, removed long queues from filling stations and enhanced competition among marketers.

He called on Nigerians to always embrace dialogue in resolving areas of disagreement with government, instead of resorting to industrial actions and violence.

“We have a listening President, a considerate administration and a people-oriented national ruling party that will always look at issues based on national interest,” Buni said.

Houthis Claim Attack on Central Israel in Response to Gaza ‘Massacres’

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has taken a concerning regional turn as the Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for an attack on central Israel. The group announced this as part of their escalating response to what they describe as "massacres" in Gaza amid the Israeli military’s operations in the strip. Details of the Attack The Houthis, a Shiite militant group with ties to Iran, declared that they launched missile and drone strikes targeting Israel. While the exact impact of these attacks remains unclear, reports suggest that Israel’s defense systems intercepted several threats over its airspace. This marks a significant escalation as the Houthis widen their involvement in the conflict beyond their typical operations within Yemen and neighboring Saudi Arabia. The Houthis’ Justification In their statement, the Houthis framed the attack as retaliation for Israel’s military actions in Gaza, which they characterized as indiscriminate bombings resultin...

Fall of Assad is a Blow to Russia's Prestige

The potential fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a long-standing ally of Russia, would mark a turning point in Moscow’s global influence, particularly in the Middle East. Steve Rosenberg’s analysis underscores the profound implications for Russia, which has invested heavily—both militarily and politically—in ensuring Assad’s survival over the past decade. This article delves into why Assad’s downfall would strike at the core of Russian prestige and what it could mean for the broader geopolitical landscape. Russia's Strategic Commitment to Syria Since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Russia has been a staunch supporter of Assad's regime.

This intervention solidified Russia's role as a key power broker in the Middle East and demonstrated its willingness to project military power far beyond its borders. Syria is not just an ally for Russia; it is a...
