The Chairman, Senate Committee on Public Accounts, Senator Ahmed Wadada Aliyu, has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to appoint a substantive Auditor General of the Federation in compliance with the Section 86 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

Wadada, in a letter to Tinubu, noted that the absence of the AuGF has left the government susceptible to potential mismanagement, lack of accountability and transparency.

The lawmaker expressed concern that the Office of the Auditor General for the Federation, which is the apex audit institution of the country, had been without a substantive Auditor General for the last 10 months.

Former US president Donald Trump said Sunday he will petition to have a different judge oversee his historic criminal trial and for the case to be moved out of Washington.

The twice-impeached Republican has unleashed a stream of invective against those prosecuting him or running the case in which he faces charges over attempts to overturn the 2020 election results and defraud the United States.

His latest target: US District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan, the appointee of Democratic former president Barack Obama who was randomly assigned to the case in Washington.

“There is no way I can get a fair trial with the judge ‘assigned’ to the ridiculous freedom of speech/fair elections case. Everybody knows this, and so does she,” Trump, using all capital letters, posted on his Truth Social platform.

Disturbed by the continued mention of Fulani herders in killings across the country, a socio-cultural organisation, the Fulbe United for Peace (FUP), has vowed to deploy traditional means to fight criminals masquerading as Fulani.

In a communiqué issued after a national leadership consultative meeting convened by FUP with the support of Arewa New Agenda (ANA) held on Sunday in Abuja, leaders of the group from across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) said this was part of their determination to make a significant contribution to national development.

The group, according to the communiqué signed by its national president, Ardo Aliyu Liman Bobboi, “agreed to develop strategies to bring all Fulbe together by using a traditional approach that is deeply rooted in the Fulbe tradition and culture—Hombudu—to bring an end to any form of criminality in the name of Fulbe.”
