Lawyers to Asa Investment Limited and the Saraki family have called on the Kwara State Commissioner of Police, Victor Olaitan, to restrain Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq from violating the existing court rule on the plot of land hitherto called “Ile-Arugbo” said to be property of the late Abubakar Olusola Saraki.

In a shocking revelation by shahara reporters, it has come to light that Governor Godwin Obaseki's administration spent a staggering N1.1 billion on furniture and fittings in just the first quarter of 2024. This expenditure is part of a larger budget allocation of N2.2 billion for chairs in the 2024 fiscal year, a clear misallocation of resources given the state's pressing needs.
During this same period, only N5 million was allocated to the Ministry of Environment and Sustainability, and nothing was spent on the Ministry of Water Resources' capital expenditure, which had an initial budget of N1.03 billion. Most alarmingly, the state's erosion, flood, and watershed management agency received no funding, leaving critical infrastructure projects unattended and residents vulnerable to environmental disasters.
Furthermore, the state spent N203 million on refreshments and meals in the first quarter, part of a total N739 million earmarked for the entire year. This raises serious questions about the priorities and governance of the current administration.
As Edo State faces these critical issues, the need for a leader who prioritizes the welfare of the people and responsible management of resources becomes paramount. Senator Monday Okpebholo, the APC gubernatorial candidate, represents a much-needed change. With a track record of integrity and dedication to public service, Senator Okpebholo is committed to addressing the real needs of Edo State, including effective environmental management and sustainable development.
It's time for Edo State to choose a leader who will put the people's needs first. Vote for Senator Monday Okpebholo and bring about the change Edo State deserves.

Nigeria’s national assembly on Tuesday passed a bill to more than double the minimum wage for federal workers, with the authorities warning against protests over soaring living costs. The monthly minimum wage is set to rise from 30,000 to 70,000 naira (around $43) once President Bola Ahmed Tinubu gives his assent to the bill, which passed rapidly through the Senate and House of Representatives. Lawmakers also reduced the review period for the wage from five years to three years. Passing the bill was “important to the Nigerian people”, said Senate president Godswill Akpabio from Tinubu’s APC party. Africa’s most populous
