The Kingsley Ogga-led faction of African Democratic Congress (ADC) has moved to restrain the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from recognising any merger talks with any political party in the country. Ogga said in a statement on Friday in Abuja that recognition of Ralph Nwosu-led faction of ADC would amount to subjudice since the case on the leadership tussle in the party is before the Supreme Court. The faction had in a fresh suit filed at the Federal High Court, Abuja, asked the court to restrain INEC from recognising any merger talks with any political party until the Supreme Court determines who the authentic chairman of the party is. Both factions in the ADC have been at loggerheads since 2022 over tenure elongation. READ ALSO: ADC candidate Myson Nejo blames vote-buying for Ondo election loss The conflict forced a faction led by Ogga, at that time the chairman of the Forum of ADC chairmen, to challenge the legality of Nwosu’s continued stay in office in court. Ogga said the lower court had ruled in his favor while Nwosu appealed the matter, claiming that the appeal court ruled that the matter was an internal affair of the party. He said Supreme Court has fixed January 15, 2025 for hearing of the matter. Opinions Balanced, fearless journalism driven by data comes at huge financial costs.

Donate NowThe killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has sparked renewed calls for health care reform, with key Democratic lawmakers using the incident to highlight flaws in the U.S. health care system. Thompson was shot outside a Manhattan hotel on December 8, where UnitedHealth Group was holding its annual investor conference. Police arrested the suspected shooter, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione , in Pennsylvania days later, charging him with second-degree murder, criminal possession of a weapon, and other counts. Authorities said Mangione was found with a "ghost gun," a silencer and writings critical of corporate America. The crime prompted a wave of responses from Democratic lawmakers. Representative Ro Khanna of California emphasized the need for policy change. "You condemn the murder of an insurance executive who was a father of two kids," Khanna told Business Insider. "At the same time, you say there's obviously an outpouring behavior of people whose claims are being denied, and we need to reform the system." Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts initially described the public's reaction to the killing as "visceral" and a "warning" to the health care system. "People can be pushed only so far," Warren said in an interview with HuffPost, calling out the "vile practices" of some insurance companies. Her remarks drew criticism from Republican lawmakers, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise calling them "inappropriate and dangerous." Warren later clarified, stating, "Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder." Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York said the strong reaction to the shooting revealed a "mass bubbling of resentment" from Americans frustrated with denied claims and costly health care. "Of course, we don't want to see the chaos that vigilantism presents," Ocasio-Cortez told Business Insider. "We also don't want to see the extreme suffering that millions of Americans confront when your life changes overnight from a horrific diagnosis." Senator Bernie Sanders , an independent from Vermont who caucuses with the Democrats , also weighed in, tying the public anger to the broader fight for Medicare for All. Speaking to Jacobin , Sanders said, "What you're seeing, the outpouring of anger at the insurance companies, is a reflection of how people feel about the current health care system. It is broken. It is cruel." Sanders, a longtime advocate of Medicare for All, argued that true health care reform requires tackling the "political and financial power" of the insurance and pharmaceutical industries. Democratic lawmakers have framed the tragedy as a moment to reexamine health care policy. Some see it as an opportunity to push for stronger regulation of insurance companies and expanded coverage for Americans. Khanna, a proponent of Medicare for All, suggested that the financial strain tied to health care is at the root of much of the frustration. "There's an outpouring behavior of people whose claims are being denied, and we need to reform the system," he said. The use of a ghost gun in the killing has added fuel to ongoing calls for stricter gun control. Representative Ted Lieu of California pointed to the incident as a reason to ban ghost guns, stating, "There's no reason for them beyond the streets," according to Politico. With Thompson's death still under investigation, the incident has put a spotlight on the broader discontent with the health care industry. The crime has become a flashpoint in the debate over how to address public frustration with health care access and affordability.Stand with Muslims on Waqf issue, oppn Christian MPs tell church body
Thursday's Thanksgiving night matchup will be notable for the Miami Dolphins for a number of reasons. For starters, it's set to be the first time they've played on Turkey Day since 2011 . It also gives them an opportunity for a statement win against the 8-3 Green Bay Packers. If they can pull it off, they'd be exorcising one of their biggest demons. As is generally the case in Green Bay in the late fall, the forecast for Thursday night's game is set to be exceptionally cold . Generally that has not boded well for the Dolphins in the Tua Tagovailoa era. During Tagovailoa's career in Miami, he's never won a game in which the temperature has been below 40 degrees. In fact, the Dolphins have lost their last 11 such games as a team, dating all the way back to Christmas Eve in 2016. Tagovailoa is carrying some momentum into the contest, though. In his past two games -- both Dolphins wins -- he's thrown seven touchdowns and no picks. In five games since returning from a concussion earlier in the season, that extends to 11 touchdowns and only one interception. The Dolphins are winners of three straight, and currently sit 5-6 on the year. None of their wins have been against teams above .500, though, and the Packers on the road will certainly be a tough test. If Miami is going to climb its way into playoff contention, it's a test they'll need to pass. With winter on the horizon, Tagovailoa and company must bust the cold weather narrative to keep their season alive.
