Gida-Gida TikTokers Chairman, Fatima Naseer Teemahcool, who led a recent display of underwears during a recent visit to Kano State by Nigeria’s First Lady, Remi Tinubu, has been given a political appointment.

It was gathered that she was appointed by the Chairman of Nassarawa Local Government in Kano, Yusuf Imam Ogan Boye, as the officer in charge of women affairs.

The letter of appointment was signed by the secretary to the local government, Ado Mohammed Hotoro, according to the report.

According to the letter, the decision was based on Teema Cool’s contributions and commitment to the growth of the local government.

She has been instructed to perform her duties in accordance with the rules and regulations that govern the work of the council.

Teema Cool, who is said to be a known face in Kano politics, made national headlines last week for leading the controversial display of underwear ridiculing former Kano State Governor, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso.
But she has since apologised and promised never to do it again after a string of condemnations inside and outside the state.

On the other hand, the Governor of Kano State, Abba Yusuf has denied any connection with the controversial display of red underwear by a group of young women at a rally held in honour of Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Remi Tinubu.

The Kano State Governor said he was not aware of such activity and did not approve such activity.

He also condemned the public display of underwear featured during the programme, saying that it was against the cultural and religious values of the people of the state.

Philip Agbese, the Deputy Spokesperson of the House of Representatives, has been named Chairman of the Media and Publicity Subcommittee for the Labour Party’s upcoming national convention.

Ginger Onwusibe, the Chair of the Convention Planning Committee, made the announcement on Thursday in a list.

The party had set its national convention for April 11, 2026, but then moved it to April 28 in Umuahia, Abia State.

Ken Asogwa, the Senior Special Adviser on Media to the Interim National Chairman, said in a previous statement that the delay was so that more people could take part in the party’s re-registration process.

The party said in a statement signed by Salisu Mohammad, the convention secretary, that the appointments were in line with its constitution and the decisions of the National Executive Council.

The statement said, “Following the decision of the National Leadership of our great Party to hold the 2026 Elective Congresses and National Convention… the leadership of the Convention and Congresses Central Committee has formed the following subcommittees and approved their membership composition.”

Agbese and his committee members are in charge of getting the word out about the convention both in their own country and around the world.

They are in charge of managing press accreditation, coordinating media relations, and handling live broadcasts and streaming.

The committee is also in charge of running social media, keeping track of what happens, and helping with the event’s overall communication plans.

Ekeoma Ferdinand (Alternate Chairman), Prince Okey, Dodo Okafor, Enemenka, Victoria Kalu, Agnes Lolo, Jesse Ukachukwu, Muttaqa Yushau, Lanre Fadahunsi, Ure Abazie, and Ayu Olowu are also on the subcommittee.

Ken Asogwa will be the Secretary, and Ukoha Njoku will be the Assistant Secretary.

Agbese, who is from the Ado/Okpokwu/Ogbadibo Federal Constituency of Benue State, recently switched from the All Progressives Congress to the Labour Party.

He said that problems within the APC in Benue State were the reason for his move, but he promised to keep supporting President Bola Tinubu’s policies.

Since then, he has been in charge of the Labour Party in Benue State.

Mr. Donald Duke, a former governor of Cross River State and previous Social Democratic Party (SDP) presidential candidate, has been named chairman of the African Democratic Congress’ (ADC) newly established Leadership Forum.

At an expanded meeting of the PDP’s Cross River State chapter’s executive committee and stakeholders, Duke—who recently left the party—was appointed to the role.

The Leadership Forum is the party’s top non-elective advisory body, according to a statement signed by Dr. John Ogar, the state chairman, and released at the conclusion of the meeting.

According to the communiqué, the forum was deemed necessary and would be made up of esteemed participants with a track record of honesty and leadership.

The party claims that the body’s purpose is to oversee and offer strategic direction to the ADC leadership throughout the state.

Duke was unanimously approved by the meeting’s stakeholders to serve as the forum’s chairman and oversee operations in each of the three senatorial districts.

In addition, three other party elders were chosen to serve as district supervisors: Dr. Effiong Nyong, a former ADC governorship candidate, for the Southern District; Chief Ray Ugba Morphy for the Northern Senatorial District; and Chief Akin Ricketts, a former chairman of the Nigerian Ports Authority, for the Central District.

In order to recruit at least one million voters before the next general elections, the party decided to step up its membership campaign.

Additionally, it promised to police internal discipline and warned that any member, regardless of status, discovered to be involved in actions that hinder the party’s growth will be subject to the party constitution.
