Remi Tinubu Tells Nigerians To Farm+FG To Sue Daily Trust Over Samoa Report+Bago Under Fire|OjyOkpe

The Federal Government over the weekend, announced, that it will file a lawsuit against Daily Trust newspaper, over its report on the signing of the Samoa agreement.

The agreement, has been controversial due to fears that it may promote LGBTQ rights.

The Daily Trust had reported that some clerics, rights activists, and Civil Society Organisations in Nigeria were furious over the decision of the federal government to sign the controversial agreement.

However at a media briefing on Saturday, the federal government re-iterated that the agreement it signed was strictly for the economic development of the country, adding that there is nowhere in the agreement where LGBTQ+ or same-sex marriage was mentioned.

The minister of information and national orientation, Mohammed Idris at the briefing said that the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is tolerant of media criticism, but won’t condone anything capable of jeopardising national security.

Niger State Governor, Umar Bago, is in the eye of the storm, after he was caught in a viral video ordering his security detail to slap and deal with an Islamic cleric, who offered to deliver the closing prayer, during a ceremony for the late wife of his deputy, in Minna, Niger State over the weekend. The governor in the video also ordered his security detail to arrest the cleric.

The First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu is encouraging Nigerians to embrace farming.

Tinubu made this known in a post on X over the weekend, sharing pictures of herself, farming in her garden, and encouraging women to participate in the Every-Home-A-Garden competition which aims to inculcate the habit of farming and food production into society right from the family unit, and promote eating healthy foods.

While speaking to journalists at the State House Residence as she unveiled her vegetable garden, the First Lady said that women must be seen at the forefront of the Food Security Campaign in the country.

This is coming as the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos in a judgment reported by the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, ordered former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disasters Management and Social Development, Sadia Umar-Farouk, to account for payments of N729bn Naira to 24.3 million poor Nigerians for six months.

According to SERAP, The judgment was delivered last month. The court also ordered the former minister to provide the list and details of the beneficiaries who received the payments, and also explain the rationale for paying N5,000 Naira to 24.3 million poor Nigerians, which translates to five percent of Nigeria’s budget of N13.6 trillion Naira for 2021.
