What’s Trending with Ojy Okpe

Akpabio Tackled Over Gender Bias + Tinubu Urged To Dialogue + Adesina Condemns Dangote Impasse – Trending With Ojy Okpe

The former Chief whip of the senate, Ali Ndume, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to address the planned nationwide protest over economic hardship using dialogue. Ndume gave the advice on Monday, ahead of the planned protest, billed for August 1st across the country. According to the lawmaker, talking with the organisers who are predominantly young people, would help in dousing the tension and avert the planned demonstrations. Ali Ndume’s comment aligns with that of the Nigeria Labour Congress.

The NLC in a statement on Monday, appealed to President Tinubu to dialogue with the leaders of the planned demonstration, saying that Tinubu should invite the leaders of the planned protest and listen to their grievances. A video of the Chairman of the Nigerian association of refrigerator and air condition practitioners, Jobi Oluwarotimi, lamenting over the half bag of rice, reportedly given to him by the federal government to share with more than 300 practitioners in Ondo State has made the rounds on social media.

The federal government has released N438 billion Naira, to 34 states and the Federal Capital Territory, for the Nigeria Community Action For Resilience and Economic Stimulus Program: (NG-Cares). The Programme’s Development Objective is to expand access to livelihood support and food security services and grants for poor and vulnerable households.

The program is also a results Intervention program, where States and FCT invest their resources, in line with agreed protocols and get reimbursed by the Federal Government after an Independent Verification Exercise.

The minister of state petroleum resources, Heineken Lokpobiri, on Monday, organized a meeting with the chairman of the dangote group, Aliko Dangote and Farouk Ahmed, CEO of Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority to resolve the current impasse affecting the Dangote Refinery.

The stakeholders present at the meeting including, the CEO of NUPRC, Gbenga Komolafe, and Mele Kyari, the group CEO of NNPC all expressed their gratitude to the minister for his prompt intervention in facilitating the important dialogue, which was focused on fostering a conducive environment for Nigeria’s oil and gas sector and finding a sustainable and lasting solution to the issue.

A women’s rights advocay group, called the Voices for Inclusion and Equity for Women have called out Senate President, Godswill Akpabio for his alleged disrespect of female senators.

Last week, Akpabio told Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the senator representing Kogi central, not to speak like she was in a nightclub. Weeks before that incident, senator representing the federal capital territory, Ireti KingIbe was shut down by the senate president when she protested her exclusion from the affairs of the nation’s capital.

The group in a statement on Monday, said every voice must be respected, regardless of gender, in a democracy. Following the debacle, between the Senate president, Godswill Akpabio and senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan, a blog listed names of some female celebrities, who they claim to be the side-chics of the senate president, including Nollywood actress Actress Dakore Akande.

Reacting via a post on Instagram; the actress described the allegations as a very wicked lie, adding that she has never met the senate president and also threatened legal action against the blog for trying to tarnish her image.

In the United States, vice president, Kamala Harris won the backing of more than half the Democratic delegates she needs to become her party’s nominee and set a new fundraising record on Monday, in her first 24 hours as a presidential candidate.

Harris, in a series of remarks, highlighted her past roles as a prosecutor and Attorney General, emphasizing her experience in taking on various types of perpetrators and drew parallels between these experiences and her understanding of Donald Trump’s character, suggesting a familiarity with his type of behavior.
