ADC: Former Rivers Gov, Donald Duke Appointed As Chairman of Leadership Forum
The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has appointed former Cross River State governor and ex-presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, Mr Donald Duke, as Chairman of its newly created Leadership Forum.
Duke, who recently defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was named to the position at an enlarged stakeholders’ and executive committee meeting of the party’s Cross River State chapter.
A communiqué issued at the end of the meeting and signed by the state chairman, Dr John Ogar, described the Leadership Forum as the highest non-elective advisory body in the party.
The communiqué stated that the forum was considered imperative and would comprise respected members with proven leadership experience and integrity.
According to the party, the body is designed to provide strategic guidance and oversight to the ADC leadership across the state.
Stakeholders at the meeting unanimously endorsed Duke as chairman of the forum, with responsibility to provide oversight functions across the three senatorial districts.
Three other party elders were also appointed to oversee the districts: Chief Ray Ugba Morphy for the Northern Senatorial District, Chief Akin Ricketts, former chairman of the Nigerian Ports Authority, for the Central District, and Dr Effiong Nyong, a former ADC governorship candidate, for the Southern District.
The party resolved to intensify its membership drive, setting a target of registering at least one million voters ahead of the next general elections.
It also vowed to enforce internal discipline, warning that the party constitution would be applied to any member, regardless of status, found engaging in activities detrimental to the party’s growth.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
