The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) and a former Vice President of the country, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar have reacted to a statement credited to one of the spokesmen to President Bola Tinubu, Daniel Bwala boasting that his principal will win the 2027 Presidential Election. In separate reactions to Bwala’s outburst, CUPP and Abubakar, who contested the presidential election in the last 2023 general election stated that it was premature for anyone to assert that the second term ambition of President Bola Tinubu was a fait accompli in the wake of the current economic hardship being faced by Nigerians. They both argue that the assertion smacks of gross insensibility to the plights of Nigerians who are currently bearing the pangs of the numerous economic policies of the current administration. National Secretary of CUPP, Chief Peter Ameh said the remarks reinforced the perception that the government is disconnected from the people, adding that government officials don’t quite appreciate the impact of their seeming inability to meet the expectations of the citizenry. The statement reads, “Recent declaration by the Presidency that (President) Bola Tinubu will not only contest but win the 2027 Presidential Election has sparked widespread controversy and raised fundamental questions about the administration’s priorities and sensitivity to citizens’ plight. “This boastful statement, coming at a time when millions of Nigerians are struggling to make ends meet, has been perceived as tone-deaf and out of touch with the harsh realities on the ground. “Given the current economic hardships and suffering of Nigerians, Tinubu’s victory seems unrealistic. The administration’s policies have exacerbated poverty, inflation, and unemployment, eroding public trust and confidence in the government’s ability to deliver on its promises. “The declaration, therefore, appears to be a mere statement of intent rather than a reflection of the prevailing political and economic realities. “Furthermore, this declaration may be seen as a diversionary tactic or an attempt to manipulate public opinion. At a time when Nigerians are crying out for relief from the economic hardship, the administration is busy making boasts about electoral victories. “This approach not only demonstrates a lack of empathy but also reinforces the perception that the government is disconnected from the people. “In a democratic system, the government’s primary responsibility is to respond to the needs and aspirations of its citizens. Instead of boasting about electoral victories that will not be given by the people, the administration should focus on addressing the pressing issues that have brought the country to its knees. Poverty, insecurity, and infrastructure development are just a few of the challenges that require urgent attention. “Moreover, the declaration raises questions about the administration’s understanding of democracy and the electoral process. Democracy is about the people, and their voices must be heard. The administration’s boastful claim that Tinubu will win the 2027 Presidential Election undermines the democratic process and ignores the possibility that Nigerians may have a different choice. “The declaration by the Presidency that Tinubu will win the 2027 Presidential Election is not only premature but also unrealistic. It demonstrates a lack of empathy and understanding of the harsh economic realities facing Nigerians. “Instead of boasting about electoral victories, the administration should focus on addressing the pressing issues that have brought the country to its knees. Nigerians deserve a more inclusive and responsive governance that prioritizes their needs and aspirations.” Speaking through his media aide, Mr. Paul Ibe, Abubakar said there is no need responding to the presidency’s claim regarding the 2027, since the decision of who becomes president rests with Nigerians. “There is no need going back and forth on this matter. We have stated our position. Nigerians will be the ultimate deciders of who becomes president,” Atiku stated. The former vice president who spoke through his media adviser, Paul Ibe, said President Bola Tinubu has demonstrated that he does not deserve to be re-elected by Nigerians. He had earlier in a statement called for equity and fairness in choosing who Nigeria’s president becomes in 2027. According to Atiku, there is a disparity in the number of years the North and South have been in power since the return of democracy in the country in 1999. He said, “By the year 2027, the South would have enjoyed 17 years of leadership, eight years under Obasanjo, five years under Jonathan, and four years under Tinubu, while the North would have experienced only 11 years, with Yar’Adua serving three and Buhari eight. “This results in a disparity of six years between the North and South, casting a shadow over the balance of power.”

President-elect Donald Trump said Friday he's in favor of eliminating daylight saving time, calling it "inconvenient" and "very costly" as his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) directors also push for action on the matter. "The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn't! Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation," Trump posted on Truth Social Friday. While Trump tweeted, "Making Daylight Saving Time permanent is O.K. with me," in 2019, he appears to be changing course now. This comes as his DOGE directors, Tesla and X CEO Elon Musk and Republican businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, have advocated for the time change to be eliminated. "Looks like the people want to abolish the annoying time change," Musk posted in response to a poll on X calling for DST to be abolished. "It's inefficient & easy to change," Ramaswamy responded. Any changes would need to be passed by Congress, and legislation on the issue has been considered before in recent years.

The credit to their victories is being given to the direct cash transfer schemes launched by their governments, just a few months before the elections. This draws attention to the previous instances of such cash transfers to women by state governments. Our analysis shows that four out of four times in the past, such cash transfers have helped the parties to thwart anti-incumbency in the state Assembly polls. We found that when the state governments actually handed out cash transfers to women before the Assembly elections, they not only successfully managed to dodge anti-incumbency but improved their tally from the previous elections. This applies only when the cash handouts were actually made and not when pre-poll promises of cash assistance were made. Let's dive deeper into how cash transfers to women averted anti-incumbencies: 2021 West Bengal: Lakshmir Bhandar Scheme Shielded Mamata From BJP's Aggressive Campaign and Gave a Bigger Majority Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress launched Lakshmir Bhandar scheme in February 2021, three months before the West Bengal Assembly election in May 2021. The scheme gave out monthly cash assistance of Rs 1200 to SC/ST women between the ages 25 to 60 years and cash assistance of Rs 1000 to the same age group of women from other categories. The women benefitting from the scheme must have been enrolled under the ‘Swasthyasathi’ scheme. Reports say that 2.11 crore women were beneficiaries of these scheme. In the highly-charged elections, not only did the TMC manage to stop the BJP from forming its first government in West Bengal, it also gained more vote share despite 10 years of anti-incumbency. 2023 Madhya Pradesh: Ladli Behna Gave 54 More Seats to BJP, Vanishing Anti-incumbency of Close to Four Terms Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan launched Ladli Behna Yojana in August 2023, eight months before the November 2023 state Assembly elections. Under the scheme, women between 21-60 years of age, whose family income is capped at ₹2.5 lakhs, received financial assistance of ₹1000. As a result of which, BJP overcame an almost four-term long anti-incumbency. It also increased BJP's vote share by 7.53 % in comparison to the previous Assembly polls of 2018. Congress' Madhya Pradesh unit also promised a direct cash transfer to women but couldn't avail a favourable electoral outcome because the BJP government had been actually transferring the money to over one crore women for eight months in the run up to the elections. ADVERTISEMENT REMOVE AD 2024 Maharashtra: Ladki Bahin Turned an Expected Close Fight to a Historic Win for Mahayuti The 2024 Assembly elections in Maharashtra were expected to be a close fight as the two of the top Maharashtra parties suffered a bifurcation. However, the launch of Ladki Bahin scheme, just three months before the elections, made sure that the ruling Mahayuti alliance get a decisive mandate. Ladki Bahin scheme gave financial assistance of ₹1000 to over one crore women, whose family income is capped at ₹2.5 lakhs. The scheme helped Mahayuti recover from its poor showing in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. 2024 Jharkhand: JMM-Congress' Vote Share Shot Up By 8% Similar to Maharashtra's Mahayuti, Jharkhand's JMM-Congress government also launched Mukhyamantri Maiya Samman Yojana in August 2024. The scheme gave Rs 1000 to women between ages 21 and 50 years, whose family income is less than ₹ 3 lakhs annually. The scheme had over 40 lakh women beneficiaries. Besides saving the INDIA government from getting beaten by the BJP, the scheme gave Hemant Soren a bigger mandate than the 2019 Assembly polls. JMM-Congress alliance's vote share shot from 35.35% to 44.33%, a massive jump of 8%. Governments of Tamil Nadu and Delhi have also handed out cash to women but those states have not underwent Assembly elections since the transfer. (At The Quint, we question everything.

Sources within the hospital disclosed that the fire affected the Emergency and Accident unit of the hospital. Similarly, some office equipment, books, electronic gadgets, roof and ceiling also went up in flames in the incident. Eyewitnesses said the fire outbreak started at about 5am from a paedriatrics consultant’s office, suspecting that the inferno could have been caused by electric spark from the office. In order to avoid casualities, management of the facility hurridly rushed out 16 patients from the ward during the outbreak. The hospital’s Public Relations Officer, Omotayo Ogunleye who confirmed the incident, however said that normal activities have resumed in the hospital. He said, “Yes it is true. It is a minor incident but normal activities have resumed in the hospital.”
Dr Charlotte Proudman, who specialises in family law, had faced a Bar Standards Board (BSB) disciplinary tribunal over a 14-part Twitter thread criticising a judge’s ruling over a domestic abuse case, saying it echoed a “boys’ club”. However, the five charges against the 36-year-old were dropped on Thursday. In an interview with The Times, Dr Proudman described the position of Mark Neale, the board’s director-general, as “untenable” and said its chairwoman, Kathryn Stone, should also stand down. “They need a change, not just in those two individuals, though, because, of course, it seeps down to the rest of the organisation,” she said. She told the paper she “genuinely” wanted to work with the Bar Standards Board in helping them to understand how misogyny and sexism have impacted women at the bar. However, she said that “under the current leadership, it’s just not going to be possible”. The charges alleged Dr Proudman had “failed to act with integrity” in posting the tweets, that they amounted to professional misconduct, were “misleading” and “inaccurately reflected the findings of the judge” in the case. The women’s rights campaigner was also accused of behaving in a way “which was likely to diminish the trust and confidence which the public placed in her and in the profession”, and that she “knowingly or recklessly misled or attempted to mislead the public” by making the posts. But panel chairman Nicholas Ainley found her tweets are protected under Article 10 of the Human Rights Act 1998 and the European Convention on Human Rights, which protects the right of freedom of expression. He said her tweets did not “gravely damage” the judiciary, which would “put them outside” of Article 10 protection, even if they “might not have been pleasant for any judge to read” or even “hurtful”. “We take the view that the judiciary of England and Wales is far more robust than that,” he said. The panel also concluded that some of the tweets were only inaccurate “to a minor degree” and not to the extent necessary for a charge of a lack of integrity. Speaking after the hearing, Dr Proudman told the PA news agency: “This ruling is a victory for women’s rights and a right to freedom of speech. “The prosecution against me brought by my regulatory body, the Bar Standards Board, should never have happened and I said that from day one. “I criticised a domestic abuse judgment. Everyone should have the right to do that, whether you’re a barrister or not. Our justice system, which I strongly believe in, is robust enough to withstand criticism from me.” She believes her tweets help “foster confidence” in the justice system, adding: “Only that way can we go about building change and a better treatment for all victims, women and children and men who are affected by domestic abuse.” Explaining that the BSB appears to have spent almost £40,000 “of barristers’ money” on instructing counsel in her case, she added: “I think it’s shameful that they’re using our money to pay for, in my view, malicious, vexatious prosecutions which I have no doubt was a personal attack against me as a woman and as a feminist, as an outspoken critic and advocate for women’s rights.” Dr Proudman called for “systemic change” within the board. “They don’t understand gender, they don’t understand diversity, I don’t think they’ve ever heard of the concept misogyny and certainly not institutional misogyny,” she said. “Until they recognise the deeply rooted, entrenched issue of bullying, harassment, sexism at the bar, for which I have suffered relentlessly... and own up to it I don’t think we’re going to see any change and I have no confidence in them.” She told of how male barristers have called her insulting names on social media and made derogatory comments about her. In the posts on April 6 2022, Dr Proudman referenced a case in which her client alleged she had been subjected to coercive and controlling behaviour by her husband, a part-time judge, meaning she had been “unable to freely enter” the couple’s “post-nuptial” financial agreement. Commenting on the ruling by Family Court judge Sir Jonathan Cohen, Dr Proudman wrote: “I represented Amanda Traharne.“She said she was coerced into signing a post-nuptial agreement by her husband (who is a part-time judge). I lost the case. “I do not accept the Judge’s reasoning. I will never accept the minimisation of domestic abuse.”She continued: “Demeaning the significance of domestic abuse has the affect of silencing victims and rendering perpetrators invisible. “This judgement has echoes of (t)he ‘boys club’ which still exists among men in powerful positions.”In the thread, Dr Proudman wrote that the judge had described the relationship of the couple as “tempestuous”, which she argued was a “trivialisation” of domestic abuse. “Tempestuous? Lose his temper? Isn’t this the trivialisation of domestic abuse & gendered language. This is not normal married life,” she wrote.Follow us on Image Source : BCCI/GETTY/INDIA TV India vs Australia 3rd Test, Day 1 Live Score and Updates IND vs AUS 3rd Test Live Score: India win toss and elect to field first vs Australia at Gabba, make 2 changes India vs Australia Live Updates: A December Gabba Test with the World Test Championship points at stake and the juncture at which the series is poised, is probably the most crucial game of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Follow all the live updates from the 3rd Ind vs Aus Test from Gabba, Brisbane- Live Match ScorecardHyderabad : Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader and MLC K Kavitha, on Saturday, November 23, alleged that on average, one student dies in 10 days from food poisoning in government-run schools in Telangana. Kavitha was speaking after visiting the hospitalised students at Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) in Hyderabad. She expressed sadness and disappointment on seeing children in a vegetative state on ventilator support, despite being hospitalised for two weeks. Targeting the Congress-run state government, Kavitha alleged that so far, 42 students have lost their lives from food poisoning in government schools. Stressing the need for governmental intervention, Kavitha urged chief minister Revanth Reddy to personally review the food quality in various gurukul and ashram schools. “Gurukul schools provide education to children, hailing from Dalit and minority families, in the state. The chief minister should ensure quality food is provided at the schools,” she said. On October 31, 60 students from Wankidi tribal welfare school in Asifabad were hospitalized due to food poison from mid-day meals. Among them, two female tribal students Jyothika of Class 7 and Mahalaxmi of Class 6 were taken to a private hospital in Mancherial after their condition worsened. As their condition further deteriorated, doctors referred them to NIMS hospital in Hyderabad. Based on their instructions, the district deputy director of the Tribal Welfare department shifted them to Hyderabad, where they remain critical.
