A fresh controversy has erupted in the Enugu State House of Assembly over a proposed Crowd Control and Management Bill, with the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Uche Ugwu, denying knowledge of the bill, DAILY GAZETTE reports.

The development followed criticism of the proposed legislation on social media, with some residents describing it as an alleged attempt to place restrictions on public gatherings and infringe on the constitutional right to freedom of assembly.

Rt. Hon. Chima Obieze, who represents Ezeagu state Constituency in the Assembly, had announced on Tuesday that he submitted a private member’s bill seeking to establish the Enugu State Crowd Control and Management Agency.

He said the proposed legislation, titled the “State Crowd Control and Management Agency Bill, 2026,” was designed to regulate the management of crowds at various events in the state and prevent deaths arising from stampedes, overcrowding, asphyxiation and other crowd-related incidents.

According to him, the proposed law would apply to religious, festive, educational, social, sporting, musical, political and philanthropic gatherings.

Obieze said the bill places the primary responsibility for crowd safety on event organisers, who would be required to take measures including providing safe entry and exit points, engaging qualified professionals for stages and electrical installations, making adequate security and fire-safety arrangements and providing special considerations for children, women, elderly persons, sick persons and people living with disabilities.

He also proposed the establishment of the Enugu State Crowd Control and Management Agency as a corporate body responsible for monitoring and enforcing crowd-management standards, as well as issuing regulations and guidelines.

The proposed agency, according to the lawmaker, would have a chairperson, an executive secretary and five experienced members appointed by the governor for a four-year term, renewable once, alongside representatives of relevant government agencies and security institutions.

Obieze said violations of provisions of the proposed law would attract fines or imprisonment, depending on the nature of the offence.

The proposal, however, immediately generated controversy online.

DAILY GAZETTE reports that a facebook user, Chizoba Ugwuagbo, announced plans to mobilise signatures against the proposed legislation, describing it as an “anti-human rights bill” allegedly disguised as a crowd-control measure.

Ugwuagbo argued that some provisions of the proposed legislation could interfere with the constitutional right to freedom of assembly.

He cited the 2007 Court of Appeal decision in Inspector-General of Police v. All Nigeria Peoples Party & Ors., arguing that citizens should not be subjected to government permission as a precondition for holding peaceful meetings, rallies or processions.

He also questioned the necessity of creating another regulatory agency when institutions such as the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Nigeria Police Force, Federal Road Safety Corps, State Emergency Management Agency and Fire Service already have responsibilities relating to public safety and crowd management.

Another major concern raised by Ugwuagbo was the provision defining a large gathering as one involving more than 100 persons.

He argued that the requirement for organisers to liaise with the proposed agency could potentially extend to political, religious, social and traditional gatherings involving more than 100 people.

Ugwuagbo further questioned the prospect of a government-appointed agency monitoring gatherings, particularly political meetings where participants might discuss opposition to the government in power.

He consequently called for the proposed legislation to be stopped before it reaches a public hearing.

Amid the controversy, the Speaker of the Enugu State House of Assembly, Uche Ugwu, issued a statement denying knowledge of any such bill before the chamber.

“There is no crowd control bill on the floor of the Enugu State House of Assembly. Kindly disregard the purported bill. Thank you,” the Speaker stated.

Seven members of the Zamfara State House of Assembly who recently resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) are considering joining one of three political parties as they weigh their next political move.

The lawmakers, according to one of them, Ibrahim Tukur Bakura, have opened discussions with the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), and African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Bakura disclosed this in a telephone interview, saying the lawmakers were carefully assessing their options before settling on a new political platform.

He said although the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had also contacted them, they had yet to hold a formal meeting with the party.

“For now, we have not sat with the PDP, though we may do so later. However, we have already met and discussed the possibility of joining either the ADC, NDC, or PRP,” Bakura said.

According to him, the lawmakers are determined to avoid making a hasty decision and would consider the political interests and preferences of their constituents before announcing their next destination.

“In a situation like this, we must exercise caution to avoid making the wrong choice. We need to analyse the situation thoroughly and align with the political direction of the people of Zamfara State before taking a final stance,” he said.

Bakura added that the lawmakers could consult their constituents directly as part of the process of determining which party to join.

“Everything we are doing is in the interest of our constituents. If necessary, we will consult them directly to decide which party to join, as we are here to serve them,” he added.

The lawmaker said the decision would be made soon, stressing that the group would announce its choice by next week.

“We have resigned from the ruling APC and are engaging with other political parties. By next week, we will announce our decision. Our doors remain open for consultations with any party interested in accommodating us. It won’t take longer than next week to decide our path,” he stated.

The seven lawmakers had announced their resignation from the APC last week but did not immediately disclose the political platform they intended to join.

They are Bashir Aliyu Gummi, Nasiru Abdullahi, Bashir Masama, Faruku Dosara, Ibrahim Tukur Bakura, Shamsudeen Hassan and Bashiru Sarkin-Zango.

The lawmakers had previously been suspended by the Zamfara State House of Assembly over allegations bordering on misconduct, conspiracy, mischief and holding an unauthorised sitting.

Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has advised candidates whose participation in the 2027 elections may have been affected by the recent Supreme Court ruling on provisions of the Electoral Act 2026 to withdraw from the race.

Sani, who is the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial candidate for Kaduna Central, gave the advice in a post on X on Wednesday.

On September 24, a seven-member panel of the Supreme Court, led by Justice Adamu Jauro, restored Sections 77(5), 77(6), 77(7) and 84(2) of the Electoral Act after overturning a Court of Appeal judgment that had declared the provisions unconstitutional.

The apex court subsequently restored the judgment of the Federal High Court, which had dismissed a suit instituted by the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) challenging the provisions.

Although the Supreme Court did not expressly disqualify any candidate, the restoration of the provisions has raised concerns over the eligibility of some candidates, particularly in relation to party membership, defections, membership registers submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and the processes through which candidates secured their party nominations.

Sani warned candidates affected by the ruling against continuing to expend their resources on campaigns despite the legal implications of the judgment.

He said some of their supporters would continue to encourage them to remain in the contest, but advised them to reconsider their positions.

“If you are one of those candidates affected by the September Supreme Court ruling, you shouldn’t waste your time and resources.

“Your supporters will continue to beat the drums for you to stay in the race but you are heading to nowhere,” he said.

Sani added that his position was informed by his experience as an active participant in electoral contests, rather than that of an analyst or commentator.

“We have the experience of losing and winning elections, not as analysts or commentators but as active, frontline participants; so we know both sides very well,” he said.

The trial of former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, and his co-defendant, Henry Omoile, was stalled on Tuesday following Emefiele’s absence from the Lagos State Special Offences Court sitting in Ikeja.

Justice Rahman Oshodi subsequently adjourned the proceedings to November 11, 12 and 13, 2026, for continuation of the trial.

Emefiele is facing a 19-count charge filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged abuse of office, receiving gratification, making corrupt demands and fraudulent receipt of property in transactions involving about $4.5 billion and N2.8 billion.

Omoile, the second defendant, is facing three counts bordering on alleged unlawful acceptance of gifts in his capacity as an agent.
Both defendants have pleaded not guilty to the charges.

At Tuesday’s proceedings, counsel to Emefiele, Abdulakeem Labi-Lawal, SAN, informed the court that his client was unavailable because he was attending another trial in Abuja.

The EFCC prosecutor, C.C. Okezie, also confirmed that Emefiele had written to the court on October 6, 2026, notifying it that he would be attending proceedings in Abuja on the same dates fixed for the Lagos trial.

However, counsel to Omoile, A. Kotoye, SAN, expressed concern that he had not received any notification regarding Emefiele’s absence.

Kotoye complained that the second defendant appeared to be treated as though he was not part of the proceedings.

Labi-Lawal subsequently urged the court to vacate the dates earlier fixed for the trial, arguing that it could be difficult for Emefiele to travel from Abuja to Lagos immediately after appearing before another court.

He noted that Emefiele’s Abuja case was still ongoing and that its schedule and outcome could not be predicted.

After considering the submissions, Justice Oshodi vacated the October dates earlier fixed for the proceedings and adjourned the case to November 11, 12 and 13 for continuation of trial.

Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has approved the appointment of administrators, secretaries and members for 68 Development Centres across the state.

The appointments, contained in a public service announcement signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Chidiebere Onyia, on Monday, are aimed at strengthening grassroots participation in governance and ensuring broader community representation in the implementation of government programmes.

The state government said the appointments would also improve coordination of grassroots development initiatives, deepen community engagement and make government more responsive to the needs of residents at the local level.

Under the arrangement, each Development Centre has an administrator, secretary and eight members.

The centres cut across the state’s 17 local government areas, with appointments made to various development centres in communities across Enugu.

In Aninri Local Government Area, for instance, appointments were made for Aninri East, Aninri North, Aninri South and Aninri West Development Centres.

Similarly, Awgu has four centres, namely Anike, Awgu, Mbanabo North and Mbanabo South, while Enugu East has four centres comprising Enugu East Central, Enugu East, Iyiukwu and Ujodo West.

Enugu North and Enugu South also have four centres each, while Ezeagu, Igbo Etiti, Igbo-Eze North and Igbo-Eze South received appointments across their respective development centres.

Other local government areas covered by the appointments include Isi-Uzo, Nkanu East, Nkanu West, Nsukka, Oji River, Udenu, Udi and Uzo-Uwani.

The government said the appointees were selected to provide effective grassroots coordination and ensure that communities have channels through which they can contribute to government policies and programmes.

According to the announcement, the appointees are expected to deploy their experience and understanding of their respective communities towards advancing the state’s development objectives.

Governor Mbah congratulated the appointees and charged them to justify the confidence reposed in them by serving with diligence, integrity, accountability and a strong sense of responsibility to the people.

The appointments form part of the administration’s broader efforts to deepen grassroots governance and expand the reach of government across communities in Enugu State.

The 2027 general elections may be heading for a fresh legal storm as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) begins reviewing the implications of a recent Supreme Court judgment on candidates’ eligibility to contest party primaries.

The development has triggered uncertainty over the fate of several high-profile politicians whose nominations could be affected by the interpretation of provisions of the Electoral Act 2026.

INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan, disclosed this on Tuesday at a World Press Conference in Abuja, saying the commission had received complaints from political parties, aggrieved aspirants and members of the National Assembly over the judgment.

The Supreme Court had affirmed the validity of Sections 77 and 84 of the Electoral Act 2026, following appeals involving the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) and the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

The provisions have generated controversy over the eligibility of politicians who defected to new political parties after failing to secure the tickets of the parties under which they initially sought nomination.

Amupitan said INEC received the certified true copy of the Supreme Court judgment on Tuesday and had commenced a detailed review.

He said the commission would determine the appropriate action after studying the judgment and considering the complaints before it.

Among the politicians whose candidacies have attracted attention are Rivers State APC governorship candidate Kingsley Chinda, Delta Central NDC senatorial candidate Ovie Omo-Agege, former Cross River State governor and PRP presidential candidate Donald Duke, and former Delta State House of Assembly Speaker Victor Ochei.

There are also concerns over the implications of the judgment for Prof. Isa Ali Pantami in Gombe State, following his defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In Niger State, questions have similarly been raised over the candidacy of PDP governorship candidate Muhammad Nami.

The candidacy of former Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar Adamu, in Nasarawa State has also come under scrutiny after he replaced the Social Democratic Party’s governorship candidate, Adamu Angba, who withdrew from the race.

The controversy centres largely on whether affected candidates met the statutory requirements for participation in party primaries and subsequent nomination, particularly where defections or substitutions occurred.

INEC’s review is therefore expected to have significant consequences for affected candidates and political parties, as well as the commission’s preparations for the 2027 elections.

For now, however, no final decision has been announced on the eligibility or disqualification of the affected candidates.
