Natasha Akpoti Alleges Exclusion from Nigeria’s Delegation to UN Women’s Conference

 Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has alleged that she was excluded from Nigeria’s official delegation to the 2026 session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) scheduled to hold in New York.


In a statement issued by her media office, the lawmaker said she was left out of the delegation despite earlier indications that she was being considered for participation in the international conference.

According to the statement, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan expressed concern over the development, noting that the event is a critical global platform for advancing gender equality, women’s empowerment, and policy dialogue on issues affecting women worldwide.

The annual session of the CSW, organised by the United Nations, brings together government officials, civil society leaders, activists, and policymakers from different countries to discuss strategies for promoting the rights and welfare of women.

The Kogi lawmaker did not provide further details on the circumstances surrounding her alleged exclusion but emphasised the importance of inclusive representation in global discussions that affect women’s development.

The 2026 session of the conference is expected to attract delegates from across the world, focusing on policy frameworks, partnerships, and initiatives aimed at advancing gender equality.

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...

Assassination Attempt: Police can’t deny what’s on their desk, says Amotekun boss

  The Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps , High Chief Dr Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele , who is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital following an attempted assassination on his life on Monday, has strongly refuted the claims made by the Osun State Police Spokeperson regarding the incident. Reacting to the statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who claimed that investigations had not commenced because the Commander had not provided evidence of the attack, the Amotekun boss expressed deep disappointment, labeling the police response as insensitive and misleading. "It is shocking that a police spokesperson would say there is no evidence of an attack when the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ota-Efun Division — the nearest jurisdiction to the incident — was immediately informed," the Commander said. "Officers from that division visited the scene the same night, assessed the damage, evacuated the vehicle, and advised me to seek ...
