Rumblings in Plateau over move to recall Lalong, Dafaan, Venman
Rumblings in Plateau over move to recall Lalong, Dafaan, Venman
By Mark Longyen
Plateau State has been thrown into political panic mode following a subterranean move by Plateau South senatorial zone’s constituents to recall former Gov Simon Lalong (APC-Plateau South) from the Senate.
Also penciled for recall by the aggrieved constituents are Lalong’s former Chief of Staff, John Dafaan (APC-Shendam, Quaan-Pan, Mikang) and Vincent Venman (APC-Langtang North/South) federal constituencies.
Impeccable sources disclosed that within the past week, over 500,000 constituents had already appended their signatures to initiate the recall of the trio from the National Assembly.
It was learned that about a fortnight ago, the forms for the recall of the three lawmakers were distributed across the six local governments that constitute the senatorial zone, which have now been signed by the constituents.
People familiar with the prevailing political intrigues said that any time this week, the signed forms by constituents from all the polling units will be collated and forwarded by the petitioners’ lawyers alongside their petitions to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Thereafter, INEC is expected to send a team of its officials to the senatorial zone and the two federal constituencies for verification of the signatures.
Once the signatures are verified and confirmed in the various polling units that 50 per cent, plus one, of the total registered voters actually signed the recall forms, then INEC will within a statutory time frame, arrange for a referendum to be conducted to recall the lawmakers.
The referendum simply entails a “yes or no” voting by the constituents on whether to recall the lawmakers or not, which outcome is to be determined by a simple majority to declare a lawmaker automatically recalled or to retain his seat.
The sacking of Sen. Napoleon Bali (PDP-Plateau South, June 2023 to October 2023) by the Court of Appeal had paved the way for Lalong, whom he defeated in the 2023 senatorial election with an unprecedented landslide, to subsequently resign as minister of labour and productivity, to occupy the seat.
A source, who preferred not to be named, said that Bali is championing the recall move, although Bali himself could not independently confirm the latest development.
However, it would be recalled that shortly after his sack late last year, Bali had told newsmen that although as of then, he had not gone back to the senatorial zone after the judgement, he had it on good authority that his aggrieved constituents were already collecting signatures to initiate the recall process.
He had also disclosed that his legal team was weighing various options, including going back to the court to explore any window to review or remedy the injustice done to him and other fellow lawmakers.
According to him, being the victim of the brazen judicial gymnastics, he had the constitutional option of initiating a recall process against those who were brought to office by the Appeal Court judgment, or to live with it for the next three years.
The latest move seems to align with the earlier vow of Bali to unseat Lalong and co, as impeccable sources say plans have reached advanced stage by constituents to recall the embattled lawmakers.
“What the people of Plateau South senatorial district are saying is that they will not allow them.
“I don’t know what they want to do, but I was told reliably that people are already gathering signatures that they must recall them.
“This time around we are going to test INEC and the judiciary that installed them because that is the option we are sure of.
“Like I said, our lawyers are making all efforts to see whether there is a window. I’m not a lawyer; I don’t know how they are going to do it.
“But the one I’m very sure of is that all those who the Appeal Court collected our mandates and gave to them wrongfully, as concluded by the learned justices of the Supreme Court in Gov Mutfang’s case, we are definitely going to recall them.
“When? I will not tell you because it will just come to them as a rude shock.
“For the specifics, I can tell you that in Plateau South, I know that they have gathered over 300,000 signatures to recall Lalong already.
“That is already in the public domain. He is aware, his party, the APC is aware.
“By the time we get the required number of signatures, which is 50 per cent of the total registered voters, it’ll be a done deal, we’ll do it.
“We have the INEC current register; I will not tell you more than this because we keep that one close to our chest.
“As soon as we get the 50 per cent, we are going to write a petition, and our lawyers will follow it up from there to tell INEC to verify.
“Once that is done, INEC will have no option but to conduct a referendum and we take it up from there,” Bali, a retired Air Vice Marshal and fighter pilot, had assured.
Lalong, Dafaan and Venman were roundly defeated by Bali, Rep Isaac Kwallu and Beni Lar, who won the Plateau South, Shendam, Quaan-Pan, Mikang and Langtang North/South House of Reps seats, respectively, during the 2023 National Assembly polls.
Despite being the sitting governor of Plateau State from 2015 to 2023, and Director General of the 2023 Tinubu Presidential Campaign Organisation, Lalong was humiliated at the polls by Bali, who trounced him with an unprecedented vote margin of about 60,000.
The former governor was comprehensively defeated by Bali in all the 6 local governments that constitute his senatorial zone, including his own Shendam Local Government Area, except in Wase Local Government.
Dafaan was similarly floored by Kwallu in all the three local governments that constitute Shendam, Quaan-Pan, Mikang federal constituency, and in 31 out of the 32 federal wards in the area, including Dafaan’s Kwalla-Moeda federal ward, with an unprecedented vote margin.
Also, perennial winner and political Amazon, Rep Beni Lar (PDP-Langtang North/South was re-elected in the 2023 polls by her constituents following her landslide victory with a very wide margin against APC’s Venman, who was her closest opponent.
However, all the PDP lawmakers’ victories were controversially annulled by the Court of Appeal, on the technical ground that PDP did not have a legitimate political structure that produced them as candidates, thereby, truncating their tenures.
This was notwithstanding the fact that the case was a pre-election matter, which the court lacked jurisdiction to entertain in the first place.
Not a few observers had described the court’s curious decision as being a predetermined judicial compromise, while the Supreme Court later frowned at it and chided the Appeal Court, describing the decision as an act of judicial rascality.
Apparently miffed by the court’s decision to impose on them those who they rejected at the polls like being compelled to swallow unwanted bitter pills, the lawmakers’ constituents have now turned to the constitutionally sanctioned recall option as a last resort.
Reacting to the bid by constituents to recall Lalong and co, the Plateau State chapter of the APC described the action as a wasted effort that was informed by PDP’s “desperation and frustration to remove the lawmakers from their legitimate seats.”
Confirming the recall initiative, the state chapter of the APC in a statement issued on Saturday and signed by its acting Publicity Secretary, Shittu Bamaiyi, described the recall effort as merely a “PDP orchestrated recall campaign, a wild goose chase, and mission impossible.”
“For quite some time now the PDP in the southern part of Plateau State, has embarked on a wild goose chase, in the name of recall campaign against these members of the National Assembly.
“The party has unrelentingly and agonizingly, been cajoling unsuspecting eligible voters to append their signatures on worthless sheet of papers, as a means of recalling Senator Simon Lalong and Chief John Dafaan from the Red and Green Chambers, respectively.
“The desperation and frustration of the PDP seem to know no bounds, to the extent that the party is so blinded to the constitutional requirements of initiating, as well as embarking on such a herculean exercise,” the APC stated.
According to the party, the PDP has thrown caution and decorum to the winds by embarking on the recall process against the lawmakers.
“By using all sorts of shenanigans and deceits to cow people into appending their names on papers, under the pretext of making them enjoy some palliatives and loans from the federal government as well as the state governments.
“Though the unsuspecting electorate have been suspicious of the promises, and taking them with the pinch of salt, the hirelings assigned the responsibility of the misadventure, have unblushingly continued to move round all the nooks and cranny of the Southern zone to collect signatures for the futile exercise.
“It is unfortunate that the PDP could condescend to that level of desperation, when viewed from the prism of civility and propriety, as well as considering the fact that, the legislators in question have hardly spent one year in their respective chambers,” the APC further said.
“Unarguably, a recall exercise is an electoral and constitutional process which can be initiated against wanting or incompetent legislators as the case may be, there must always be overwhelming justification for such a cause.
“Undoubtedly, the narcissistic attitude of the PDP will certainly come to naught, sooner than later, because from all indications, the legislators are at the moment, enjoying the support of their constituents not withstanding their short stay in the National Assembly.
“In addition, the APC as a party, and other interest groups, are closely monitoring events as they unfold, with a view to checkmating the misadventure.
“Without any fear of the unknown, the campaign is surely going to be a mission impossible and a disgrace at the end of it all,” Bamaiyi added.
When contacted for comments on the development, Rep. Kwallu, one of the lawmakers sacked by the Court of Appeal and Dafaan’s predecessor, confirmed that the recall move by the constituents was true.
He explained that the recall process is provided for in the Nigerian constitution, which empowers constituents to recall their elected representative at any time, stressing that there is no cause for alarm.
Jimmy Lar, a political gladiator from the senatorial zone, while commenting on the APC’s statement describing the recall process as a desperate move by PDP, justified the ground for the initiative.
He asked rhetorically: “Who is the desperate one between someone who stole what doesn’t belong to him or her and the one who is making all lawful efforts to recover his or her stolen item?
“It’s the right of an owner to go to any length to recover his stolen property.
“When you are robbed, you tell people, approach the lawful authorities and take all necessary measures to recover your stolen items from the robber(s).
“Whether or not you are able to bring the thief to justice is not for the thief to decide, it’s for time to decide,” he said.
Simon Shindai, a lawyer, constituent, and APC member, while confirming that he was fully aware of the recall bid, alleged that some stakeholders, mostly from the state’s ruling PDP, were behind the recall move.
According to him, some PDP chieftains are strategizing, working round the clock, and leaving no stone unturned to ensure that the recall agenda is carried out seamlessly to achieve the desired result within the next six to twelve months, and warned the APC not to treat the issue with kid gloves.
“It is not a joke because it is a serious constitutional matter that is outlined in the 1999 Constitution, so once these processes are met, then INEC will definitely go ahead and conduct a referendum, which outcome could be a big shocker for the lawmakers in question,” he said.
Also commenting on the issue, Alhassan Barde, an APC supporter, said that APC as a political party that knows and has tasted power, and is still in power at the centre and elsewhere, should do more than just mere press statements.
“The party should be strategic in handling critical matters that are pending and have been left unadressed, matters that have emerged (like the one at hand), and those at the horizon with the potential to affect its present structure, and the chances that lie ahead for greater fortunes.
“Remember, your opponent in whatever contest, would employ and deploy all manner of tactics to rattle and weaken your immune system and then launch attacks on your defence mechanisms.
“All that we are doing is a clarion call to APC to wake up now, and do something about it,” he said.
Lalong, while reacting to the recall move by his constituents, through his Legislative aide, Hon. Exodus Pyennap, acknowledged being aware of it but described the initiative as an effort in futility that is baseless and dead on arrival.
He said that the first requirement for a recall process to be considered by INEC is for the constituent petitioners to have a solid ground for the recall, such as failure, misconduct, corruption, non-performance or some sort of official misdemeanor against their representative, which are all unfounded in the instant case.
“So, the entire hullabaloo is an effort that is baseless and futile, INEC will not even bother to act on it,” Lalong said.
Lar and Dafaan could not immediately be reached for comments on the issue as of the time of filing this report. Dafaan did not answer or return the several phone calls made to him.

Borno Students Rally Behind Security Agencies, Reject Terrorism, Call for National Unity Against Boko Haram, ISWAP, Banditry
Borno Students Rally Behind Security Agencies, Reject Terrorism, Call for National Unity Against Boko Haram, ISWAP, Banditry
By: Zagazola Makama
Students from various tertiary institutions in Borno State on Sunday declared their unwavering support for Nigeria’s security agencies in the ongoing campaign against Boko Haram, ISWAP, banditry and other violent criminal groups, urging all citizens to unite behind efforts to restore lasting peace across the country.
The students made the declaration during a solidarity rally held at the Post Office Round About in Maiduguri, where they joined civil society groups, youth organisations and community leaders to express appreciation for the sacrifices of the Armed Forces, Police, Department of State Services (DSS), Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) and other security personnel engaged in counter-terrorism operations.
The rally, attended by hundreds of students from the University of Maiduguri, Borno State University, Ramat Polytechnic, Mohammed Lawan College of Agriculture and other institutions, featured speeches, peace messages and calls for greater public cooperation with security agencies.
A Student Leader, Suleiman Muhammad Sarki urged Nigerians to reject terrorism in all its forms and embrace national unity as the country’s strongest weapon against violent extremism.
“Terrorism has killed our people, destroyed our communities and stolen peace from our homes. This fight is not for government alone; it is the responsibility of every Nigerian.
“We must also speak with one voice against the payment of ransom to kidnappers, bandits and terrorist groups. When we deny them financial support, we weaken their operations.
“Parents should teach their children peace, communities should report suspicious activities, leaders should speak with one voice, the media should spread truth instead of fear, while the youth must choose unity over hatred. Nigeria is bigger than any terrorist, and together we shall overcome,” he said.
The remarks were greeted with applause as participants waved Nigerian flags and displayed placards bearing inscriptions such as “United Against Terrorism,” “Support Our Troops,” “Enough is Enough,” “Peace is Our Right,” and “Nigeria Must Win.”
Students of the Mohammed Lawan College of Agriculture, Maiduguri, also called for sustained government investment in communities liberated from insurgents.
One agriculture student said restoring farming activities remained crucial.
“Food security and national security go together. When farmers return safely to their fields, communities recover faster and criminal groups lose influence.”
A student of Education stressed that schools should continue promoting peace education.
“Children must grow up understanding tolerance, respect and peaceful coexistence. Education remains one of the strongest tools against violent extremism.”
At the Ramat Polytechnic, Maiduguri, students praised the resilience of communities affected by insurgency.
A Higher National Diploma student said the determination shown by residents demonstrated that terrorism would never defeat Nigeria.
“Despite everything, people have rebuilt businesses, returned to school and continued with their lives. That resilience gives hope.”
Another student urged social media users to verify information before sharing it online.
“False information creates unnecessary panic and sometimes benefits terrorists. Citizens should rely on credible sources and avoid spreading rumours during security operations.”
Several students also commended security personnel serving in difficult operational environments across the North-East.
They acknowledged the sacrifices made by troops deployed under Operation HADIN KAI and other security formations, noting that many personnel had paid the ultimate price in defence of the country.
A law student observed that national unity remained Nigeria’s greatest strength.
“Terrorists want to divide Nigerians along ethnic and religious lines. We must deny them that victory by standing together as one nation.”
Students also called on traditional rulers, religious leaders, civil society organisations and the media to intensify public enlightenment campaigns against violent extremism.
They said parents should monitor their children, communities should remain vigilant and religious leaders should continue preaching tolerance, peaceful coexistence and respect for human life.
According to them, the fight against terrorism extends beyond military operations and requires sustained investment in education, youth empowerment, community policing, intelligence sharing and post-conflict reconstruction.
Many expressed optimism that with continued cooperation between citizens and security agencies, Nigeria would eventually overcome terrorism and restore lasting peace.
As the interviews concluded, one message remained consistent across campuses in Maiduguri: defeating Boko Haram, ISWAP and banditry requires a united Nigeria.
Aisha Ibrahim, a students from UNIMAID said the fight against terrorism should not be left solely to security agencies, stressing that citizens also have important roles to play through vigilance, intelligence sharing and promoting peaceful coexistence.
She noted that Borno State had endured years of insurgency, resulting in the loss of thousands of lives, displacement of communities and disruption of education and economic activities.
According to her , the significant progress recorded through sustained military operations has encouraged many displaced families to return home, while schools, markets and farming activities have gradually resumed in several communities.
Bashir Babagana, another student commended the resilience and professionalism demonstrated by troops and other security personnel operating in difficult environments, saying their sacrifices deserved national recognition and support.
He noted that many members of the security forces had paid the ultimate price while defending the country’s territorial integrity and protecting civilians from terrorist attacks.
Participants also appealed to Nigerians to avoid spreading misinformation capable of undermining security operations or creating unnecessary panic.
They stressed that verified information and responsible reporting remained essential in sustaining public confidence and denying terrorist groups the propaganda they often seek.
The students further called on religious leaders, traditional institutions, community associations and youth groups to intensify campaigns promoting tolerance, peaceful coexistence and national unity.
They maintained that education, youth empowerment and community engagement should complement military operations in addressing the root causes of violent extremism.
The rally also featured prayers for the repose of civilians and security personnel who lost their lives in the fight against terrorism, as well as special prayers for the safety of troops currently serving in operational theatres across the country.
The students also pledged continued support for lawful efforts aimed at defeating Boko Haram, ISWAP, bandit groups and other criminal elements threatening Nigeria’s peace and stability.
They urged Nigerians, irrespective of ethnicity, religion or political affiliation, to remain united and work collectively towards building a secure and prosperous nation.
The rally concluded with participants reaffirming their commitment to national unity and expressing confidence that sustained collaboration between citizens and security agencies would ultimately bring terrorism to an end.

ECOWAS pushes jobs agenda to curb irregular migration
…Urges member states to expand youth employment, tighten anti-trafficking laws
By: Michael Mike
The ECOWAS Parliament has called on governments across West Africa to make the creation of decent and sustainable jobs for young people a top priority, warning that unemployment and shrinking economic opportunities continue to fuel irregular migration and human trafficking across the region.
The regional legislature made the call after a week-long citizen engagement in The Gambia, where parliamentarians interacted with young people, returnees, community leaders and other stakeholders to identify the root causes of irregular migration and recommend solutions.
Presenting the report of the engagement, head of the delegation, Hon. Billay Tunkara, said participants overwhelmingly identified unemployment, underemployment, low incomes, inadequate access to education and vocational training, and limited economic opportunities as the primary factors pushing young people to undertake dangerous migration journeys.
According to the report, many young people believe that the opportunities available in their home countries do not offer a realistic path to prosperity, reinforcing the perception that migrating abroad—often through irregular routes—is the only viable option for a better future.
The Parliament also found that family expectations, peer influence and social media have become powerful drivers of migration, with success stories of migrants overseas encouraging more young people to embark on risky journeys despite widespread knowledge of the dangers involved.
Testimonies from returnees and survivors painted a grim picture of irregular migration, detailing experiences of deception, forced labour, exploitation, abuse, detention, family separation and severe psychological trauma. However, the Parliament noted that these survivors could play a vital role in discouraging others by sharing their experiences with vulnerable communities.
Beyond awareness campaigns, the lawmakers stressed that governments must invest in vocational education, entrepreneurship, agriculture and access to finance if they hope to reduce migration pressures. They also called for stronger reintegration programmes for returnees, including psychosocial support, skills acquisition, livelihood assistance and community acceptance.
Among its recommendations, the ECOWAS Parliament urged member states to expand investments in technology and vocational training centres, strengthen cross-border cooperation against migrant smuggling and human trafficking, improve intelligence sharing, and deploy modern surveillance equipment to enhance border security. It also advocated greater access to affordable financing for young entrepreneurs.
For The Gambia, the Parliament specifically called for the speedy passage and implementation of the country’s immigration bill and increased investment in communities most affected by irregular migration through job creation and development initiatives.
The regional legislature further appealed to traditional rulers, religious leaders, civil society organisations, families and the media to intensify public awareness campaigns, discourage the financing of irregular migration and promptly report suspected cases of migrant smuggling and human trafficking to relevant authorities.
The report also recommended that the ECOWAS Parliament institutionalise citizen and student engagement across member states to strengthen parliamentary oversight and ensure that recommendations from such consultations shape future policies on migration governance, regional integration and human security. The report is expected to be debated during the Parliament’s ordinary session before being transmitted to relevant ECOWAS institutions for implementation if adopted.

NDLEA arrests South African woman with 3-year-old son over heroin haul, seizes N10.3bn cannabis shipment at Lagos port
NDLEA arrests South African woman with 3-year-old son over heroin haul, seizes N10.3bn cannabis shipment at Lagos port
By: Michael Mike
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested a 38-year-old South African woman at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, for allegedly attempting to smuggle 5.75 kilogrammes of heroin into Nigeria while travelling with her three-year-old son, whom investigators said she used as a cover to avoid suspicion.
The agency also announced the seizure of 4,143.5 kilogrammes of Canadian Loud, a potent strain of cannabis, valued at more than N10.3 billion, at the Apapa Seaport in Lagos, alongside the interception of an alleged drug courier who excreted 100 wraps of methamphetamine after arriving at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos.
According to NDLEA spokesman, Femi Babafemi, the South African suspect, identified as Jessica Ann Will, was arrested on July 6 during the clearance of passengers arriving aboard Qatar Airways flight QR1433 from Doha.
Babafemi said, in a statement on Sunday that, the suspect initially denied travelling with any checked luggage, but investigations revealed that two suitcases containing 14 large blocks of heroin bore baggage tags matching those attached to her passport.
He said the suspect later admitted ownership of the bags, claiming she had forgotten she checked them in.
The NDLEA said preliminary investigations indicated that the suspect travelled from Cambodia through Doha to Abuja and is believed to be part of a transnational drug trafficking syndicate allegedly operated with her husband or partner, Jan Coenraad De Jager, along the Cambodia-South Africa route.
In a separate operation, NDLEA operatives at MMIA arrested 48-year-old Onyechere Chinadu, an Okada rider from Lagos, upon his arrival from Madagascar via Addis Ababa on June 28.
The agency said officers recovered 87 wraps of methamphetamine hidden inside clothes in his backpack during a search.
During interrogation, the suspect reportedly told investigators he had worked as a commercial motorcycle rider in Lagos for 15 years before being recruited into drug trafficking by a Uganda-based associate.
He claimed he ingested additional drug pellets in Uganda before travelling to Madagascar but was denied entry by immigration authorities there. According to him, his sponsor subsequently rerouted him to Lagos, where he was arrested.
Because he could not state the exact quantity of drugs he had swallowed, NDLEA placed him under observation. Over three days, he excreted an additional 13 pellets, bringing the total recovery to 100 wraps of methamphetamine weighing 1.715 kilogrammes.
At the Apapa Seaport, NDLEA said operatives, working alongside the Nigeria Customs Service and other security agencies, uncovered 8,287 nylon bags of Canadian Loud weighing 4,143.5 kilogrammes inside a container imported from Canada.
The agency said the seizure followed weeks of intelligence-led surveillance by its Maritime Intelligence Unit, which tracked the shipment from Montreal before it arrived in Lagos. The illicit consignment has an estimated street value exceeding N10.3 billion.
In another operation, NDLEA said it thwarted an attempt to export 2.5 kilogrammes of skunk concealed inside a gas compressor destined for Cyprus through a courier company in Lagos.
Babafemi said the agency sustained its War Against Drug Abuse (WADA) campaign across the country, conducting sensitisation programmes in schools and communities in Ebonyi, Kano, Ekiti and Ogun states, while officials of its Zone 14 Command paid an advocacy visit to Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
Commending officers involved in the various successful operations, NDLEA Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Brig.-Gen. Buba Marwa (retd.), praised the agency’s continued success in reducing the supply of illicit drugs while intensifying public awareness campaigns against drug abuse.
He urged personnel across the country to remain steadfast in the fight against drug trafficking and abuse.
