Another APC Senator Kicks Against Muslim-Muslim Ticket, Proposes Amendment Of Electoral Act

The Senator representing Kogi-West, and a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Smart Adeyemi, on Sunday kicked against the Muslim-Muslim ticket, saying a repeat of such development is capable of bringing down the fabrics of the nation.

Addressing newsmen in Abuja on Sunday, Adeyemi, however, said that he supports the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, and his running mate, Kashim Shettima, not because they are members of APC, but because of his knowledge about the duo, their track records and antecedents.

Adeyemi, who backed the concern raised by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) over the Muslim-Muslim ticket, said that the association made some cogent observations, adding, “there have been oversights in key appointments in the past, which tend to keep Christians at a disadvantage and this has caused apprehension amongst us.”

Urging the government to confront issues in such a manner that will not obstruct the fabric of national unity, peace, and stability, Adeyemi said that the peace and unity of the nation are sacrosanct.

The lawmaker said that the diversity of the nation should be balanced, adding, “For unity, we must balance up our diversity to a large extent. And it is given this that I am making some proposals. I have had discussions with the leadership of the Senate, my party leadership, and a good number of Senators.

Bridging Digital Divides: Empowering People with Special Needs and Uniting Communities Through Technology

By Abdullahi Abdulhafiz Aliyu In today’s fast-changing digital landscape, access to technology is no longer a luxury—it is a necessity. Yet, for millions of Nigerians, especially people with special needs, the digital world remains out of reach due to systemic barriers and a lack of inclusive learning opportunities. My work as a journalist and digital advocate has focused on breaking these barriers, ensuring that technology serves as a tool for empowerment rather than exclusion. Through my engagement with individuals with disabilities and as the host of Duniyar Fasaha (Fasaha World) on Unity FM, I have worked to bridge the digital divide by providing foundational digital education to marginalized groups. By introducing people with special needs to basic computer skills such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and internet navigation, I have witnessed firsthand how technology can unlock new opportunities and transform lives.
