RE: APPOINT DR. DANKAKA AS CHAIRPERSON OF FCC WITHIN THE NEXT 7 DAYS

…The North Will Not Be Subdued in Appointive Positions
The attention of Arewa Women for Good Governance and Leadership (AWGGL), an umbrella body of women in leadership positions and the private sector from the 19 Northern States and Abuja, has been drawn to the unethical, biased, unprofessional manner, and regional conspiracy against the North in the removal of Dr. Muheeba Dankaka as Chairperson of the Federal Character Commission (FCC).
This occurred just days after her reappointment for another 5-year term was announced by Bayo Onanuga, spokesperson to the President. Congratulations and jubilations poured in from across the region, including a congratulatory message from the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Sulu Gambari, to Mr. President—only for the decision to be reversed hours later, replacing her with Ayo Omidiran, a former House of Representatives member from the Southwest.
In a press release signed by the National Coordinator, Hajia Hannatu Bilbis Muhammed, and General Secretary, Barr. Binta Yakubu Bello, the duo condemned the removal in its entirety, describing it as a ploy to malign, marginalize, and subdue Northern women, who are known as peace ambassadors. They called on every right-thinking Northerner in positions of authority under the present administration to be vigilant of government activities, rise up, and condemn this injustice against the region and Dr. Dankaka, in particular.
It will be recalled that Dr. Muheeba Dankaka, successfully completed her first tenure, transforming the Commission, despite a gang-up spearheaded by a former Southwest governor, who used federal commissioners from Osun and Lagos States to undermine her leadership. Recently, she was granted another 5-year extension by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, only to be removed hours after the announcement—a move that sent shockwaves across Northern women due to its suddenness and regional undertones.
In a terse statement, the National Coordinator, urged the President to reinstate Dr. Dankaka, citing her tireless efforts for his electoral success in 2023. She campaigned vigorously across the 19 Northern states, mobilizing women and youths to vote massively for the Tinubu candidacy, while investing significant personal and family resources. The group called on Northern Senators, House of Representatives members, women, and youths, to join this clarion call, viewing the removal as a calculated conspiracy to deny the region its rightful representation, despite its voting power and population.
According to sources, Dr. Dankaka’s removal was orchestrated by a former Osun State governor and a Minister, with the active participation of another Southwest ex-governor who believes they can act with impunity under this administration without the President’s knowledge. The ex-governor in question is allegedly positioning allies in authority ahead of a planned return to office.
The AWGGL emphasized that every region is important, noting that the President’s victory was secured by collective votes from all regions, not just the Southwest. They warned against the lopsided allocation of lucrative appointments to the Southwest at the expense of other regions, stressing that this trend must stop immediately, if the President intends to retain support for the 2027 elections.
The group also highlighted imbalances in the Civil Service Commission (CSC), where Southwest officials dominate leadership, while the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation is from the South. The North, they argued, should rightfully head the Federal Character Commission to ensure equity, fairness, and justice, yet another Southwest appointee was named, further marginalizing the North.
The AWGGL leadership hereby calls on Mr. President, the First Lady of Nigeria, All women of conscience, to pressure the administration to correct this injustice and reinstate Dr. Muheeba Dankaka as FCC Chairperson. Failure to do so within the next 7 days, will compel the group to: Lead a protest march to the National Assembly, Aso Rock Villa, and other government organs. Demand that all Northern appointees resign en masse to amplify their grievances.
“Enough is enough.”

According to the National Population Commission (NPC), arrangements are already underway to ensure the census is successful. The recruitment process will provide thousands of temporary job opportunities for young Nigerians, allowing them to contribute to a project of significant national importance.
Positions will be available for ad-hoc staff across various grade levels, opening the door to a wide range of employment opportunities.
Beyond supporting the census, the initiative is also seen as a boost to youth engagement and employment. Eligible Nigerians are encouraged to prepare for the application process and seize the opportunity to help shape the nation’s statistical future.

DJ CUPPY: I’m On My Knees! – Omoba Aigbegbele’s Passionate Love Plea to the Otedolas Shakes Nigeria

In a love saga that has set tongues wagging from Lagos to London, foremost activist, journalist, and human rights advocate Omoba Kenneth Aigbegbele has turned his public proposal to billionaire heiress and music goddess Florence Ifeoluwa Otedola, a.k.a. DJ Cuppy, into a full-blown national spectacle – this time declaring, with heart in hand and knees to the floor, that he is ready to devote his life to her.
Speaking with the fire of a man consumed by destiny, Aigbegbele, a mass communication scholar, multiple degree holder, and fellow of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations, confessed to journalists in Abuja:
“I am on my knees, pleading with my would-be in-laws, the Otedola family, to bless my proposal of love to their jewel, Ifeoluwa. I will woo her, adore her, cherish her, protect her, and prove that true, unshakable love still exists in this world.”
The declaration sent ripples through social media, reigniting the frenzy from his first bold proposal, a move that had shocked many when he demanded that Cuppy and her billionaire father sign a “submissiveness agreement”. But in a dramatic twist worthy of a Nollywood blockbuster, the fiery activist has now dropped all conditions, saying nothing will stand in the way of his love.
“Chief Otedola is a man of integrity, a family pillar, a believer in African tradition. I honour that. My heart is ready to adapt, because what I feel for Cuppy is real and unconditional,” he vowed.
According to Aigbegbele, his decision wasn’t made on a whim. It came after “critical thinking” and deep discussions with his family. He spoke of watching Cuppy for years, her resilience, her unmatched creativity, her dedication to her craft, the academics and recognising the solid upbringing that shaped her.
But the road to Cuppy’s heart has not been without drama. Since his proposal hit the internet, Aigbegbele says his phone has been on fire.
“From Abuja to New York, from London to Epe, the calls keep coming. Some congratulate me, some mock me, and some beg me to let go. But my friends in Lagos are even ready to storm Epe with kolanuts and palm wine for her grandmother as a sign of serious intention,” he said, grinning like a man already halfway to the altar.
He reserved glowing words for the Otedola patriarch:
“Chief Femi Otedola is a gentleman, a business titan, and a father who treasures his daughter beyond measure. I would be honoured to join such a family.”
In his closing plea, a cry that could melt the iciest of hearts, Aigbegbele called on Nigerians to rally behind him:
“Marriage is the oldest covenant of love. I am not chasing a fantasy; I am pursuing a future. Ifeoluwa is more than a star, she’s a cultural icon, a global ambassador of Nigerian pride. I’m not just in love… I am committed. And I am asking the nation to stand with me.”
Aigbegbele is also a Fellow of the National Institute of Credit Administration (FICA), Fellow, Institute of Management Consultants (FIMC), Member, Nigeria Institute of Management (MNIM),Member, Institute of Security Studies (MIS), Certified Management Specialist (CMS), with Distinction in Time Management, and a Certified Management Consultant (CMC).
Whether this will end in a fairy-tale wedding or the heartbreak of unrequited love, one thing is certain: Omoba Aigbegbele has written his name in the annals of Nigeria’s most audacious romantic gestures.
