A group under the auspices of Persons with Disabilities Odatiwa Odirorun Forum have thrown its weight behind Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa as Ondo State is preparing for the governorship election coming up in November.
The group said the impact and inclusion of PWDs in the governance of the state in the last seven and half years of late governor Rotimi Akeredolu and Lucky Aiyedatiwa administrations could not be taken for granted, hence their support for him.
The chairman of the group, Mr Sola Aiku, stated this in a statement made available to journalists on Monday in Akure, the state capital.

One of the lawyers, Mr Abdul. Balogun (SAN) said no law gives FEC the powers to determine how much civil servants should be paid as salaries.
Lawyers have agreed with organised labour that the Federal Executive Council (FEC) cannot decide on the salaries for Nigerian workers.
He said, “There is nothing in our law books that gives FEC the powers to deliberate on minimum wage. It is illegal. Any resolution by FEC on minimum wage cannot stand because they do not have the power to come up with any resolution on the matter.”

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has strongly condemned the bomb attacks that resulted in the deaths and maiming of several residents of Gwoza local government area of Borno State.

In a statement by presidential spokesman Ajuri Ngelale, the president declared that the purveyors of wanton violence shall be served justice and that these cowardly attacks are only isolated episodes as his government will not allow the nation to slither into an era of fear, tears, sorrow, and blood.
