  A Message of Gratitude and Clarification from Usman Okai Austin I sincerely thank you all for your prayers and support. Many of you visited me during my time in Kabba prison, and I deeply appreciate your kindness. The journey from Kabba to Abuja has given me a new perspective on the significance of this experience. For those who couldn’t visit in person, your messages and protests spoke volumes. Your voices sent a strong message, and I am truly grateful for each and every one of you.

  Natasha is Fighting Back Strongly Against Her Recall Effort The recall campaign against Natasha has encountered a significant challenge.  The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) of Nigeria has officially stated that the group spearheading the recall process, known as the Kogi Central Political Frontier, is not a registered entity. This revelation raises serious concerns about the legitimacy of the petition submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). If the organization behind the recall is not legally recognized, how did INEC proceed with accepting their petition without verifying their registration status? With this development, the validity of the recall process is in question, and it appears that the petition may be fundamentally flawed from the start. Given this situation, legal and political analysts are beginning to scrutinize INEC’s role in the process.  Many are asking whether due diligence was carried out before accepting the petition. If ...
