Ohanaeze Lists 13 Demands From Tinubu As He Assumes Office
The Ohanaeze Ndigbo has made 13 demands from President Bola Tinubu as he assumes office.
Recall that Tinubu was sworn-in as president on Monday at the Eagle Square in Abuja.
However, Ohanaeze’s Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said Tinubu should allow Igbos benefit from his economic policies.
Isiguzoro also urged the president to ensure the railway line from Port Harcourt to Maiduguri works.
Speaking with DAILY POST, Isiguzoro said: “The free market trade and postulations show that Igbos who are majorly traders will benefit from his economic policies.

“What Ndigbos expect at this moment is in the area of transport, he should look at the rail lines that goes from Port Harcourt to Maiduguri.
“He should look at the seaports and ensure no economic leakages.
“Tinubu should go for well tested technocrats not corrupt politicians, and he must ensure that those who will form the next government are not those who put Nigeria into this mess.
“Tinubu should not recycle old politicians based on party affiliation.
“The government of national unity is an antidote to those challenging his electoral victory in court.
“He should go beyond APC and bring in technocrats from PDP, LP, and NNPP.
“Tinubu must ensure that there is no islamization agenda in his government. Nigerians are afraid because of the possibility of having a president and vice who are Muslims, and probably having a Senate President and Speaker who might be Muslims.
“This is why we are saying Akpabio might likely succeed as the Senate President. We know his track record of achievements as an uncommon governor. Irrespective of all the allegations, Akpabio stands a better choice to balance the Muslim-Muslim ticket.
“Ndigbo is interested in the economic aspect of his administration and we will continue to support him like we did when he was governor of Lagos State.

“He should look into the things that have gone bad in Nigeria and ensure that all the political prisoners including Nnamdi Kanu are released.
“Tinubu should ensure that all his appointments reflects federal character, and ensure merit is the watch word for all his appointments.
“Tinubu should know that with Ndigbo beside his government, the sky will be his starting limit.”

Edo NLC Crisis: Caretaker Committee Drags Rival Exco, Govt To Court
The division in the Edo State Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), took a new dimension on Wednesday as Prof. Monday Monday Lewis Igbafen-led caretaker committee approached the National Industrial Court of Nigeria, Benin Judicial Division, seeking to affirm its authority and restrain a rival executive from parading itself as the council’s leadership.

In a suit marked: NICN/BEN/12/2026, and filed before the court in Benin, the claimant, Igbafen, acting for himself and on behalf of the NLC Caretaker Committee in Edo State, is challenging the continued occupation of the union’s secretariat and control of its assets by members of the Bernard Egwakhide-led factional State Executive Council.

The claimants are asking the court to declare that the caretaker committee (Igbafen-led faction), constituted on August 11, 2025, by the NLC national leadership, remains the only lawful authority to administer the affairs of the Edo State Council pending fresh elections.
They further seek a declaration that the continued occupation of the NLC secretariat located at No. 1 Teboga Road, Benin City, as well as the retention of union assets, financial records, and official instruments by the defendants, is illegal and void.
The suit also prays for an order of perpetual injunction restraining the defendants from parading themselves as officials of the NLC Edo Council or interfering with the functions of the caretaker committee.
In addition, the claimants are seeking a mandatory order compelling the defendants to immediately hand over the secretariat, vehicles, financial documents, cheque books, and all other properties belonging to the union.

The claimants further demand N50 million as general and exemplary damages against the defendants for alleged unlawful usurpation of office and acts prejudicial to the administration of the council.
According to court documents made available to our correspondent, the crisis followed the dissolution of the Edo State Council by the NLC National Executive Council on February 27, 2025, over allegations of misconduct, anti-union activities, and constitutional violations.
However, the matter has yet to be assigned a hearing date.

“We categorically state that the continued targeting of Nigerians under any guise is unacceptable and must come to an immediate end.
