In a statement jointly signed by Jafaru Ibrahim Sani – ADC National Vice Chairman, North-West Elder Patrick Ambut, ADC Kaduna State Chairman, Nasiru Maikano, SDP Kaduna State Chairman and pasted on former Governor Elrufai’s verified Facebook page on Wednesday, alleged that the APC led government has recruited about 4,000 thugs from within and outside the state to intimidate and harass citizens and officials of opposition parties at all polling units and at the Ward, State Constituency and Federal Constituency Collation Centres during the election

According to the statement, the Kaduna State government is engaged in efforts to compromise INEC officials, alleging that the state government allocates plots of land to senior INEC officials, electoral officers and technical support staff.

“In furtherance of their election sabotage cause, we have details of the Kaduna State Government officials that have had secret meetings with high-level election personnel and other technical staff deployed from INEC Headquarters,” it said.

“Further financial support from Abuja of about N4.8 billion has been provided to facilitate the sabotage of the elections through vote-buying, compromise of electoral officials, and corruption of security agents to encourage breakdown of law and order.

It alleged that the assaults on election integrity and the fundamental rights of citizens to choose their legislators are being coordinated at the highest levels of the state government, with a serving Commissioner in charge of local government matters, leading the officials deployed for dishonorable operation.

” The ADC-SDP coalition is also aware that the senior officials of Kudan, Soba and Zaria local government councils are recruiting thugs to attack opposition events, and disrupt our campaign plans. As a law abiding coalition, we are hereby notifying INEC and the security agencies of the unlawful and undemocratic actions, as well as the nefarious plans of the APC government of Kaduna State, and urging that it should be brought to order to avoid unpredictable reactions of our supporters and the general populace,” the statement further added.

Disqualified Big Brother Naija season 10 housemate Faith has partnered with the Lagos Food Bank Initiative to support vulnerable families in Lagos.

The outreach programme, part of the Temporary Emergency Food Assistance Program, aims to provide relief for families struggling with hunger and the cost-of-living crisis.

According to a tweet via Lagos Food Bank’s page, it reads, “Big Brother changed his life, now he’s choosing to change the world. Faith Adewale is not just using his voice; he’s using his platform to give back.”

Faith had previously volunteered with LFBI’s #NUMEPlan, a program focused on treating and feeding malnourished children.

“After volunteering at Lagos Food Bank under the #NUMEPLAN program, where malnourished children are treated and fed, he made a promise to return and do more.

“On Wednesday, 15th October, he’s keeping that promise as he will be joining us at the Food Bank Warehouse for an impactful TEFAP Program to serve vulnerable families. This isn’t just an outreach, it’s a movement of love, hope, and action”, the statement reads.

This new initiative showcases Faith’s commitment to using his platform for purpose-driven work and giving back to the community.

The Lagos Food Bank Initiative is also collaborating with five outstanding NGOs to strengthen communities and reduce food insecurity across Nigeria.

“Together, we’re making a real difference in the fight against hunger. This collaboration strengthens communities and helps reduce food insecurity across Nigeria.

“Nigeria faces a paradox of food surplus and widespread hunger. Our mission is to bridge that gap to ensure no one goes hungry while food goes to waste,” the statement read.

“Our target group in this program is the very needy cases of persons who are aged, disabled, patients of diet-related diseases, or beneficiaries severely affected by the negative effects of the cost-of-living crisis.

“The agricultural landscape in Nigeria presents a complex challenge, with significant food surplus coexisting alongside widespread hunger and food insecurity.

“Despite being a prominent agricultural producer, the nation grapples with food loss and waste across the supply chain, leading to economic losses, environmental degradation, and inadequate access to nourishing sustenance for many Nigerians”, the statement concluded.

Since his disqualification, Faith has spoken openly about his journey, revealing that he took a N5 million loan to participate in the show, an experience he described as “transformational.”
