President Bola Tinubu has been urged to immediately sack the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike.

The call was made by a rights activist lawyer, Madubuachi Idam on Monday.

According to him, sacking Wike will enable him focus on his struggle to reclaim political control of Rivers State from Governor Sim Fubara.

Idam said Tinubu should order Wike to choose between his ministerial position and having control over the political structure in Rivers State.

Wike has been at loggerheads with Fubara over his attempt to exert political dominance in the state.

The rift had affected the legislative arm of the Rivers State government while two different Speakers pledging loyalty to Wike and Fubara.

Despite President Bola Tinubu’s intervention, the minister and his successor have refused to shield their sword.

However, Idam said Tinubu can’t continue to watch and allow Wike to cause tension in Rivers State.

Chatting with DAILY POST, Idam said: “I will be surprised if Tinubu delivers on his Renewed Hope mandate with the way he’s going. I’m tempted to think that he enjoys the ongoing crisis in Rivers State. Otherwise, he should direct Wike to choose between his position as FCT Minister or his structure in Rivers State.

“By the way, how does President Tinubu feel waking up every day to see Wike cause tension against defenceless electorates in Rivers State?

“President Tinubu must prove that the lives and properties of all Nigerians including Rivers people matter to him much more than the votes he expects to harvest through Wike in 2027.

“He must not wait till the crisis in Rivers State escalates to other parts of the country before he wades in.

“No leader should be entertained by the troubles of his subjects. President Tinubu must not be amused or entertained by the crisis in Rivers, he has to urgently relieve Wike of his ministerial duties so that he can go home and focus on his structure(s) since that is more important to him. The covetous desire of one man should not be a nightmare to defenceless citizens. No man is the state.”

The Chairman of the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, in Kano, Hashimu Sulaiman Dungurawa has reacted to sack of the National Leader and Presidential Candidate of the Party, Rabiu Kwankwaso and Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State from the party.

Dungurawa said those behind the purported suspension were long ago expelled from the Party.

“Let me be clear to you that these people who say they have suspended Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso were long ago expelled from the Party for several anti-party activities and connivance with opposition to create problems in the NNPP”.

Dungurawa responding to the alleged extension of suspension time of Kwankwaso and Governor Yusuf, by one Umar Jibrin and Omalara Johnson in a Communique they signed, Monday, said, “you can see that there is a missing link in their actions”.

He said the missing link is that as a Party that has only one single Governor and the Presidential Candidate of the Party, who nurtured it to its present position, you are saying you suspended them, can this make any sense to anybody?

Dungurawa alleged that he knows those behind the crises in the NNPP. “they are the opposition who are afraid of the emergence soon of Kwankwaso as the next President of Nigeria, in 2027, God willing”.

He assured that the Party remains one of the biggest emerging parties in the country saying, ”a party that will present the next president of the nation, we know those who are behind the purported suspension, the forces are sponsored by the ruling government and the ruling Chairman of APC”.

A 72-year-old security guard, David Jackson, was on Monday, sentenced to life imprisonment by the Lagos State Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court in Ikeja, for defiling a 7-year-old girl.

Justice Abiola Soladoye sentenced Jackson to life imprisonment and held that the prosecution had proved the three ingredients of defilement against the convict.

Delivering her judgment, Soladoye held that the survivor was 7-year-old at the time of the incident and during her testimony, identified Jackson, a gateman in one of the houses on her street, as her abuser.

“The testimony of the survivor was clear, consistent and coherent under cross-examination,” he said.

“The second prosecution witness was a teacher who identified that the survivor was her student.

“The teacher, in her evidence, said that she made inquiry and discovered that the survivor was complaining of pains in her private part and that someone had s3xually assaulted her,” the judge said.

Sholadoye also held that the testimony of the survivor’s father was credible and was also corroborated with the evidence of the other two prosecution witnesses

She said that attempts by the convict to deny the charge did not hold waters.

“The defendant is consequently found guilty as charged for defilement of a 7-year old child contrary to Section 137 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State 2015 and he is hereby sentenced to life imprisonment,” Soladoye said

The judge also ordered that the name of the convict be registered in the Sexual Offences Register as maintained by Lagos State Government.

The state Counsel, Ms Abimbola Abolade called three witnesses while the convict testified on his own behalf.

Importance of Bonuses for the Best Gambling Experience

At the same time, gaming platforms attract more people with the potential of becoming regular members. Casino rewards vary depending on the chosen online casino, but their essence is pretty similar on most websites. Let’s explore the most popular options available for Nigerian gambling enthusiasts.

Welcome Offers

Users can see this promotion in most casinos; as a rule, it’s the juiciest offer. Welcome deals aim to attract customers’ attention and encourage them to join the platform. Most gambling sites in Nigeria provide an immediate deposit multiplication for newcomers. Users must replenish their gaming balance for at least a minimum sum, after which they’ll receive additional credits. The sign-up package is often complemented by free spins on featured slots, which boosts user excitement.

Free Spins

Slots are traditionally the most in-demand casino titles since they are simple and widely accessible. Users love spinning the reels, as this game type doesn’t require any special skill or strategies and is simply entertaining. Online casinos know about the players’ passion to slot machine and reward Nigerian users with free spins. They can be a separate bonus or go as a part of the welcome package. The fact is the fact – no one would refuse a good portion of FS to enhance their gambling experience.

Reload Bonuses

Online casinos not only aim to attract new players to their platforms, but also keep the existing members excited about gambling more. Reload bonuses are the top solution since regular players can enjoy deposit boosts and some free spins to try more games. While most casino rewards can be claimed only once, reload deals are often available weekly or monthly. Nigerian gamblers can regularly grab the chosen reward and enjoy playing with additional benefits.

VIP Programs

Most users love personalized approach from online casinos, and being a VIP customer encourages them to remain loyal to the platform. Online gaming venues gladly provide their members with such an opportunity, offering them to join fantastic loyalty schemes with numerous bonuses hidden inside. Many Nigerian casinos develop multileveled VIP promotions: the more a customer deposits, the higher the stage they get. Each level offers special rewards, including cashback, free money, FS, increased withdrawal limits, and so on.

What to Consider When Claiming Casino Bonuses in Nigeria?

Many players are completely blinded when they see a generous bonus, and their only thought is that they want to claim it immediately and gamble without additional expenses. However, this approach often leads to disappointments, as Nigerian online casinos usually impose particular usage requirements. The wager is the most critical point players must consider, as it indicates the number of bets that should be made to meet the conditions. Ignoring these requirements will result in the gambler’s inability to withdraw money in case of winning. Therefore, Nigerian risk seekers must be attentive to bonus rules before claiming any promotion.

Eligible games are another factor users should check: many rewards can only be used on a limited number of titles. Finally, bonuses usually have an expiry date, indicating the term within which the gambler must spend the promotion. You don’t want your bonus to disappear before you use it, right?

Tips to Maximize Advantages when Using Gambling Rewards

Of course, every player wants to receive maximum winnings with minimum expenses, but how to do it in the unpredictable iGaming world? Unfortunately, no strategies will guarantee a victory since risk and randomness are the main components of online casino games. The good news is that Nigerian gamblers can still use some tricks to get more benefits from the chosen rewards:

• Familiarise yourself with the fine print before grabbing the bonus
• Choose promotions with lower wagering requirements
• Opt for games with minimum bets to get more rounds or spins
• Subscribe to the newsletter to get more personalised offers

The Final Word

The Nigerian gambling market is rapidly evolving, and the availability of juicy bonuses is among the factors for high online casinos’ popularity. Users gladly join gaming platforms when they see the possibility of receiving free cash or spins that can boost their experience. Choose bonuses wisely and use them according to requirements to get maximum benefits in Nigerian casinos.
