We’re Not Responsible for Hunger in Nigeria, PDP Fires Back at APC

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) rejected the APC’s claim that it was responsible for hunger and economic hardship in Nigeria.

He said corruption was so deeply entrenched that it was nearly impossible to imagine the country without it, and urged law enforcement agencies and courts to hold those responsible more firmly to account. Madlanga said the theft of public funds weakens essential services and threatens socio-economic rights, particularly for poor and vulnerable communities.

Court adjourns judgment until Dec. 2 in El-Rufai’s N1bn suit against ICPC, AGF and IGP

His lawyer was absent when the case was called, so Justice Joyce Abdulmalik deemed the former governor’s filed processes adopted; lawyers for all three respondents urged the court to dismiss the suit. El-Rufai had earlier removed a magistrate from the case after he could not identify the magistrate by name.
