SENATE STANDS FIRM ON E-TRANSMISSION, APC TALKS INCLUSIVITY & A SOMBER FAREWELL TO SEN. OKEY EZEA

Описание: Today’s Newspaper Review on Afia TV strikes a delicate balance between hard politics and human loss, as the headlines unfolding across Nigeria remind us that governance is as much about people as it is about policy.

We begin on a solemn note from Enugu State, where the remains of Senator Okey Ezea, a serving member of the 10th National Assembly representing Enugu North Senatorial Zone, arrived at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport. The Nigerian Air Force Base became a place of quiet reflection as family members, political colleagues, and sympathisers gathered to receive the late lawmaker—marking a tragic moment not just for Enugu, but for the National Assembly and the democratic process he served. It is a reminder that behind the headlines and debates are individuals whose lives shape public service.

From grief, the review transitions into the heart of Nigeria’s political discourse. Dominating today’s papers is the Senate’s firm insistence that electronic transmission of election results remains intact in the ongoing Electoral Act amendment. Lawmakers are pushing back against public confusion and media speculation, stressing that the provision has been clarified—not removed. At stake is public trust in elections and the credibility of Nigeria’s democratic framework ahead of future polls.

Also commanding attention is the ruling party’s internal recalibration. APC National Chairman, Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda, says the party’s upcoming convention will reflect its growth and inclusivity, following waves of defections and an expanding political base. With 2027 already looming on the horizon, analysts are reading this as more than party housekeeping—it’s strategic positioning.

Guiding us through these layered stories is Ceec ee Emechebe, Producer and Presenter on Afia TV, offering context, clarity, and sharp insight into what today’s headlines really mean for governance, democracy, and the everyday Nigerian.

This edition of Newspaper Review is not just a scan of the papers—it’s a conversation about power, reform, legacy, and the human stories woven into national politics.
