REPUBLISHED: Gbajabiamila Corruption Story That Landed FirstNews Editor in Undeground Cell

fij.ng/article/republished-gbajabiamila-corruption-story-that-landed-firstnews-editor-in-undeground-cell/

Quick Glance: Corruption Scandal: Gbajabiamila's Alleged Scheme Exposed

President Bola Tinubu's Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, and the new cabal at Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja, allegedly tried to embezzle $30 billion and 66 valuable properties.

The Presidency cabal is fighting the takeover of four erring banks seized by the Central Bank of Nigeria, allegedly arranging for their cronies to buy the affected banks surreptitiously.

The cabal allegedly concocted lies to convince President Tinubu to stop the Special Investigator's investigations and shielded suspects from interrogation.

Gbajabiamila attempted to control the funds himself and gave instructions on how they should be distributed. Civil society groups urge President Tinubu not to undermine the credibility of the investigations and to warn Gbajabiamila to stay out of the Special Investigator's affairs.

apnews.com/article/biden-china-steel-tariffs-union-workers-0399b0450b67086ca86edc43ac45e5e9

Quick Glance: Joe Biden Calls for Significant Increase in Tariffs on Chinese Steel

US President Joe Biden is pushing for an increase in tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminium to strengthen union support in the swing state of Pennsylvania.

During a meeting with United Steelworkers union members in Pittsburgh, Biden calls on trade representative Katherine Tai to raise the tariffs from the current average of 7.5 percent.

The main focus of the measures is to combat China's new export surge and the ongoing price pressure that makes it difficult for American steel companies to compete.

The Biden administration's decision to increase tariffs is expected to impact recent efforts by Washington and Beijing to stabilize relations.

President Joe Biden is contemplating Australia's request to cease the long-standing U.S. effort to prosecute Wikileaks founder Julian Assange for revealing American classified documents.

Vietnamese property tycoon sentenced to death over $12bn fraud: State media says Truong My Lan’s crimes eroded public trust in ruling Communist party

ft.com/content/fcca4a8f-2de2-479f-b242-786f1bd2d512

Quick Glance: Death Sentence for Real Estate Tycoon in Vietnam's Largest Fraud Case

Truong My Lan, a prominent businesswoman and real estate tycoon, was sentenced to death in Vietnam's largest financial fraud case, marking a shocking development in the country's escalating anti-corruption campaign.

Born in 1956, Lan founded the Van Thinh Phat company with her family in 1992, which grew to become one of Vietnam's richest real estate firms linked to some of Ho Chi Minh's most valuable properties.

She was accused of using the bank as her cash cow, illegally controlling it between 2012 and 2022, and using thousands of 'ghost companies' in Vietnam and abroad to give loans to herself and her allies.

Her arrest in October 2022 falls within a period of increased anti-corruption efforts in Vietnam ramping up since 2022, impacting the country's economic outlook and unsettling foreign investors.

Quick Glance: Simon Harris Becomes Ireland's Youngest Prime Minister

Simon Harris has been officially sworn in as Ireland's youngest prime minister, succeeding Leo Varadkar who abruptly stepped down last month. Harris, 37, took the helm of the ruling Fine Gael party but faces challenges as the party trails behind Sinn Fein in polls.

A rapid riser in Ireland's political hierarchy, Harris has made a name for himself as Health Minister and most recently as Minister for Higher Education and Science. His political identity as a young politician has been marked by both supporters and critics, particularly standing out with younger voters and on social media platforms like TikTok.

Varadkar's government grappled with challenges such as housing crisis and increasing immigration numbers. Harris inherits a tough political landscape, especially with upcoming elections until March 2025. The political landscape in Ireland has shifted, with Sinn Fein emerging as a rising political force, leading to a shift in the traditional party landscape.

While Harris sees the idea of a potential reunification of Ireland as a legitimate aspiration, his focus remains on current challenges like housing crisis, rising cost of living, and immigration. Despite political changes and discussions about potential reunification, Ireland's future remains uncertain and complex.
