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.

Troops Record Major Breakthroughs as 1 Division Neutralises 24 Bandits, Rescues
194 Hostages, in Kaduna Theatre

By Zagazola Makama

In a security environment marked by persistent threats from banditry, kidnapping, attacks on rural communities and attempts to sabotage critical national infrastructure, the Nigerian Army’s 1 Division and Sector 1 of Operation FANSAN YAMMA have continued to assert their operational dominance across parts of the North-West and North-Central regions.

The achievements of the formation during the first quarter of 2026 paint a picture of an aggressive, intelligence-driven and multidimensional military campaign aimed at denying criminal elements freedom of action while simultaneously building public confidence through non-kinetic engagements.

These successes were highlighted during an interaction with defence correspondents by the Chief of Staff, 1 Division Nigerian Army and Operation FANSAN YAMMA, Brig.-Gen. Timothy Opurum, who represented the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 1 Division and Commander Sector 1 Operation FANSAN YAMMA, Major General Muhammed Wase,

According to the military hierarchy, the Division remains one of the most strategically significant formations of the Nigerian Army, overseeing a vast operational area that cuts across Kaduna, Kano and Niger States. The formation commands several combat and support units, including formations in Kano and Niger States, the 26 Armoured Brigade and the 24 Reconnaissance Battalion, while coordinating security operations through six operational subsectors.

At the forefront of the Division’s operational strategy is the sustained deployment of ground and air assets in coordinated operations against armed bandits and terrorist elements operating within its area of responsibility.

Throughout the period under review, troops of the Division maintained a high operational tempo through a combination of offensive and defensive actions designed to disrupt criminal activities and dismantle terrorist infrastructure.

These operations included fighting patrols, ambushes, raids, clearance operations and targeted offensives against identified criminal enclaves.

The GOC noted that the primary objective was to deny bandits and terrorists freedom of movement, cut off their logistics routes, destroy their camps and prevent attacks against communities and strategic infrastructure.

The results, according to operational records presented during the briefing, were significant.
A total of 194 kidnapped victims were rescued through various military operations conducted across the Division’s area of responsibility. The rescued victims were freed from captivity following coordinated intelligence-led missions carried out by troops operating in difficult terrains and remote locations.

The successful rescue operations not only deprived criminal networks of financial gains but also restored hope to affected families and communities.

Beyond the rescue operations, troops arrested 36 suspected bandits and criminal collaborators, many of whom are believed to have provided logistics, intelligence and other forms of support to criminal groups operating within the region.

Wase explained that targeting support networks remains a critical component of ongoing counter-banditry operations, as criminal groups often rely heavily on informants, suppliers and local facilitators to sustain their activities.

The offensive operations also led to the neutralisation of 24 terrorists and violent extremists during engagements with troops. The elimination of these combatants was achieved during various combat encounters, ambushes and clearance operations conducted by units deployed across the operational theatre.

The neutralisation of these elements, military authorities noted, has significantly weakened the operational capabilities of criminal groups in several flashpoints within the Division’s area of responsibility.An equally important aspect of the Division’s achievements was the recovery of a substantial cache of weapons, ammunition and military-related equipment.

During the period under review, troops recovered more than 1,200 rounds of ammunition, alongside 1,212 assorted ammunition cartridges and 28 magazines from criminal elements.

He noted that every weapon or ammunition recovered from the battlefield translates into reduced firepower available to criminal groups and potentially fewer attacks on innocent civilians.

The recoveries also illustrated the effectiveness of intelligence gathering and follow-up operations conducted after military engagements.

Military authorities believe that disrupting access to weapons and ammunition remains one of the most effective ways of degrading the combat capabilities of armed groups operating in the North-West and North-Central regions.

Beyond kinetic operations, the Division also achieved notable successes in disrupting the economic foundations of criminal enterprises.
Troops recovered livestock estimated at over 2,000 animals, many of which had been rustled from rural communities by bandits.

Cattle rustling has long remained a major driver of insecurity in parts of Northern Nigeria, providing criminal groups with a lucrative source of revenue. By recovering stolen livestock and returning them to their rightful owners, the military not only inflicted financial losses on criminal networks but also restored livelihoods to affected communities.

The Division also recovered N874,625 believed to be proceeds linked to criminal activities.

The military high command noted that attacking the financial lifelines of criminal organisations remains essential in reducing their operational capacity and limiting their ability to recruit, procure weapons and sustain their operations.

In addition, troops recovered numerous communication devices, motorcycles and other operational equipment used by criminal groups for coordination, mobility and logistics.

One of the most critical aspects of the Division’s mandate is the protection of strategic national infrastructure. The operational environment under 1 Division includes assets of immense national importance such as the Kainji Hydroelectric Dam, power generation facilities and the Abuja-Kaduna railway corridor.

They revealed that troops maintained robust security coverage around these installations to prevent sabotage attempts by criminal and terrorist groups.

The protection of these assets remains vital not only for national security but also for economic stability, energy generation and transportation across the country.

Beyond kinetic operations, the Division has increasingly embraced non-kinetic approaches as part of a broader strategy to address the root causes of insecurity and build stronger relationships with local communities.

He explained that in line with the Chief of Army Staff’s command philosophy, which emphasises strategic partnerships and cooperation, the Division has strengthened collaboration with sister services, intelligence agencies and other security stakeholders.

This approach has facilitated improved intelligence gathering, information sharing, joint planning and coordinated execution of operations.

A key component of these efforts was the organisation of the Second Edition of the Security Stakeholders Engagement Forum in Kaduna State, which brought together security agencies, traditional leaders, community representatives and other critical stakeholders to discuss emerging security threats and collective responses.

Military authorities believe such engagements have enhanced public trust and encouraged communities to provide actionable intelligence that has contributed significantly to operational successes.

Expert urges donkeys’ protection to curb species’ extinction

The Animal Welfare Society of Nigeria (AWSON) has raised concern over the increasing decline of donkey populations in the country.

The group advocated conservation and welfare measures to prevent the animal from extinction.

Its President, Prof. Mohammed Sanusi, said this in a telephone interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), on Wednesday in Gombe.

Sanusi is also a lecturer with the Department of Animal Production, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU), Bauchi.

He said that urgent measures are imperative to protect the animal from extinction, as the illegal donkey skin trade was on the rise, thus posing a threat to its survival.

The expert said the decline in donkey population was driven by foreign demand for ‘ejiao,’ a traditional medicine and cosmetic gelatin made from boiled donkey hides and other parts.

According to Sanusi, the illegal activity and killing of the animal by some traders is heavily depleting the domestic donkey population.

“There are still a good number of donkeys in rural areas but due to poverty, some are selling them out in huge numbers.

“Also, improvement in technology is contributing to rural dwellers depending less on their donkeys as tricycles are being used to replace it, hence selling off donkeys becomes a welcome development.

“Donkey population is declining because of increasing demand, particularly the animals are slaughtered here and their skins exported to China.

“According to reports that we have read, they use the donkey skins to produce ejiao, which is an ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) derived from the gelatin of boiled donkey hides.

“The demand for donkeys for ejiao production is having a devastating impact on its populations in Nigeria and other African countries,’’ he said.

Sanusi urged the government to invest in modern ways to boost reproduction of the animal to accelerate population growth.

He said the steady decline of donkey population has been linked to the emerging trend of illegal donkey slaughter and consumption, low reproduction rate, and poor welfare practices toward the animal.

The animal welfare advocate said donkeys faced a major threat in their future, and stressed the need for proactive measures to protect it from exploitation, abuse and neglect.

“Donkeys are vital to rural livelihoods and the economy,” he said.

COAS Support Driving Massive Infrastructure Renewal in 1 Division, Says GOC

By Zagazola Makama

The Nigerian Army’s 1 Division has embarked on an extensive infrastructure renewal programme that has transformed troop accommodation, worship centres, educational facilities and welfare infrastructure, with the support of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen. Waidi Shaibu, the General Officer Commanding (GOC), 1 Division Nigerian Army and Commander Sector 1, Operation FANSAN YAMMA, Maj.-Gen. Muhammed Wase, has said.

Wase , who spoke through the Chief of Staff of the Division, Brig.-Gen. Timothy Opurum, during an interaction with defence correspondents in Kaduna, said the intervention was significantly improving the living and working conditions of troops while enhancing operational effectiveness across the Division’s area of responsibility.

According to him, the ongoing transformation is in line with the COAS’ “Soldier First” philosophy, which places premium attention on troop welfare, accommodation and morale as critical enablers of operational success.

He said the Division inherited several infrastructure that needed to be repaired . but had, through prudent management of resources and support from Army Headquarters, embarked on an aggressive programme of rehabilitation, renovation and construction.

“The support from the Chief of Army Staff has been tremendous. His commitment to improving troops’ welfare has enabled us to undertake several projects that are directly impacting the lives of our personnel and their families.

“Many of the structures we met were in very poor condition. Today, most of them have been completely transformed into modern and habitable facilities,” he said.

The GOC explained that one of the landmark achievements of the Division was the renovation of multiple blocks of abandoned accommodation that had previously become uninhabitable.

According to him, following directives and support from Army Headquarters, the Division commenced the rehabilitation of old accommodation blocks in November 2025 and successfully expanded the scope of the project beyond the initial allocation.

He said through prudent financial management and cost-saving measures, the Division was able to renovate six accommodation blocks instead of the four originally approved.

“By carefully managing available resources, we were able to increase the number of renovated accommodation blocks from four to six. This has significantly improved housing availability for officers and soldiers within the cantonment,” he said.

Wase added that the accommodation facilities were further enhanced with the installation of modern solar-powered electricity systems designed to provide uninterrupted power supply.

According to him, more than 65,000 watts of solar power infrastructure have already been installed across the renovated facilities, reducing dependence on the national grid and improving energy sustainability.

He disclosed that another major solar power project currently under construction had reached about 50 per cent completion and was expected to be delivered within the next few months.

The project, he noted, would further improve electricity supply and support military operations within the Division.

The GOC also highlighted extensive roof rehabilitation works carried out on several damaged buildings whose roofs had been blown off by severe weather conditions.

He said the repairs involved complete replacement of roofing sheets, ceiling systems and other structural components to restore the affected buildings to functional standards.

In addition to accommodation projects, the Division undertook a comprehensive renovation of its main auditorium, transforming the facility into a modern conference and event centre capable of hosting military and inter-agency engagements.

“The auditorium was in a deteriorated state before the intervention. Today, it has been remodelled and upgraded to meet contemporary standards,” he said.

The welfare-focused interventions also extended to places of worship within the Division.

Wase disclosed that all three major worship centres in the cantonment the Catholic Church, Protestant Church and Central Mosque had undergone extensive renovation.

The projects included structural repairs, repainting, refurbishment of facilities and environmental improvements aimed at providing conducive worship environments for personnel and their families.

“We believe welfare is not only about accommodation and feeding. Spiritual wellbeing is equally important. That is why attention was given to all worship centres within the Division,” he said.

The Division also established a modern cafeteria facility to improve feeding arrangements and create a more conducive environment for personnel.

According to the GOC, the project was completed within a remarkably short period and has since become one of the most utilised welfare facilities within the cantonment.

Another major intervention is the ongoing renovation of the Division’s crèche and nursery school, which is expected to provide improved educational facilities for the children of military personnel.

He said the project had reached approximately 70 per cent completion and would be delivered before the end of the year.

Beyond military facilities, the Division has also extended its intervention programmes to host communities as part of its civil-military cooperation initiatives.

Wase disclosed that a block of classrooms was recently constructed and handed over to a host community in Kaduna State to support educational development and strengthen relations between the military and civilians.

He described the project as part of the Army’s broader efforts to win hearts and minds while contributing to socio-economic development in communities hosting military formations.

The GOC noted that the infrastructural improvements were already yielding positive results in troop morale, discipline and operational effectiveness.

According to him, soldiers who live and work in conducive environments are better motivated and more committed to accomplishing assigned missions.

He also commended the Chief of Army Staff for providing strategic guidance, resources and operational support that have enabled the Division to simultaneously prosecute counter-banditry operations and pursue infrastructure development.

Wase further revealed that the Division had introduced new welfare initiatives, including recognition packages for retiring and redeployed officers and soldiers as part of efforts to reward commitment and service.

He noted that personnel who distinguish themselves in service now receive special appreciation packages, reflecting the Division’s commitment to recognising dedication and sacrifice.

The GOC stressed that despite prevailing operational challenges, including mobility constraints, logistics demands and infrastructure deficits, the Division remained focused on sustaining the momentum of ongoing development projects.

He assured that additional accommodation, power and welfare projects were already in the pipeline as part of efforts to further improve living conditions for personnel.

According to him, the Division’s experience demonstrates that investment in troop welfare and infrastructure remains a critical force multiplier in modern military operations.

“When soldiers are well accommodated, properly cared for and adequately motivated, they perform better in operations. That is the philosophy driving these interventions, and we are grateful to the Chief of Army Staff for his unwavering support,” he said.
