A political group within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi East Senatorial District has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to caution Senate President Godswill Akpabio over alleged attempts to interfere in the political affairs of Kogi State, particularly the politics of Kogi East.

The group, operating under the banner of Kogi East APC Justice Forum, accused the Senate President of allegedly backing moves to influence the political direction of the senatorial district against what it described as the wishes of party members and stakeholders.

In a statement signed by Mr. Monday Onalo, the Forum alleged that there were subterranean efforts to impose Senator Jibrin Isah Echocho on the people of Kogi East despite his reported defeat during the APC senatorial primary process.

According to the group, the alleged interference could create unnecessary tension within the ruling APC and undermine the political stability of the district.

The Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Adewale Adeniyi, has called on Nigerians to embrace the values of sacrifice, unity, patriotism and peaceful coexistence as Muslims across the world celebrate Eid-el-Kabir.



Adeniyi made the appeal on Wednesday shortly after observing Eid prayers at the Modakeke Eid Ground in Ile-Ife, Osun State, where he urged citizens to reflect on the spiritual lessons of the Islamic festival and recommit themselves to national development.



According to the Customs boss, Eid-el-Kabir remains a solemn reminder of obedience to Almighty Allah, total submission to divine instruction, and the virtues demonstrated by Prophet Ibrahim through sacrifice and unwavering faith.



“We all know what Eid symbolises. It symbolises obedience to Almighty Allah and sacrifice. These are values every Muslim is expected to imbibe in daily life,” he said.
