Nigerian President sued for declaring State of Emergency in Rivers

A lawsuit has been filed against President Bola Tinubu over his Tuesday’s declaration of a State of Emergency in Rivers State, Nigeria.

The suit was filed by a group named SERAP Volunteers’ Lawyers Network (SVLN) in Rivers State.

Former Big Brother Naija (BBN) Housemate and Nollywood actress, Bamike Olawunmi-Adenibuyan, popularly known as BamBam, has shared her recent encounter with a Nigerian police officer who stopped her.

The BBNaija star took to X to narrate how she was forced to get out of her car, she described it as "inappropriate and forceful". And the policeman also asked her to show him "love" (meaning to give him money).

She added that citizens should feel safe, not uncomfortable at the sight of police officers.

She wrote: "Just wrapped up from a movie set, heading home, and Nigerian police stopped us for no reason, forced us to step down only to start begging for money. What kind of nonsense is this? If we refused, what would they have done?

"He was a bit inappropriate and forceful. I came down and greeted him, he asked if I was okay, and I said I was fine just tired. He said “Show me love now” he could have asked from the car window, but my assistant and I were down, we couldn’t drive off so I was forced to give something.''

BamBam said, that asking and demanding are two different things, feeling entitled about your money and tipping because they were respectful and actually doing their job are two different things.

Recall that BamBam was featured in the movie ''Love in Every Word'', which has been trending across the media and has had views across Africa.

Annie Idibia Leaves Rehab, Embraces a New Path to Healing

Nigerian actress Annie Idibia has recently departed from the rehabilitation center where she had been receiving treatment, following the dissolution of her marriage to renowned singer 2Baba. According to reports, Annie made an unexpected exit from the facility and has chosen to pursue a different approach to address her personal and emotional challenges.

Sources indicate that Annie had been deeply reflecting on the circumstances that led her to seek professional help. One insider noted, "She was meant to stay longer, but for reasons we are yet to fully understand, she decided to leave. What's clear is that she is not giving up on herself. She still wants to heal and rebuild her life."

Ex-Governor Nasir El-Rufai defected to the Social Democratic Party (SDP), and his son, Bashir El-Rufai, has been posting political tweets aimed at the supporters of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

In one of his tweets, Bashir praised Peter Obi, the former Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, saying his views about him had changed.

Reacting to his father’s defection via his X account, the ex-governor’s son said APC members p0isoned his mind against Obi.

He tweeted, “Peter Obi is surprisingly not a bad person after all. My views on him have changed recently. My mind was p0isoned by my former party members. Sai Obi!”

In another tweet, Bashir called out to young Nigerians to join his father’s new party, saying, there would be “an online platform for all prospective SDP members to register and join by the end of this week.”

However, Daniel Bwala, President Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, has described El-Rufai’s defection to the Social Democratic Party (SDP) as an inordinate ambition destined to fail.

Bwala said that El-Rufai would be reminded that associating with “sore l0sers to unseat” President Bola Tinubu is neither an ideology nor progressivism.

Reacting to the development in a tweet, Bwala wrote: He tweeted, “Senior, @elrufai. I read the news today that you resigned from APC to join SDP. Well, I have nothing against you because you exercised your constitutional right.

However, the MOTIVE is what we would interrogate in the coming days and remind Nigerians that you are not a phenomenon that emerges like a clap of thunder out of a blue sky.

We would intellectually remind you that associating with sore losers to unseat the incumbent is not an IDEOLOGY, neither is it PROGRESSIVISM; It is simply an inordinate AMBITION that is destined to fail.”
