Tinubu Betrayed: Onoh Slams Silence as Trump Sparks Nigeria-U.S. Rift
DDM News

(DDM) – Former Southeast spokesman to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Dr. Josef Onoh, has expressed deep concern over what he described as a “united echo of silence” surrounding the President following the recent designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern by the United States government.
Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) gathered that Onoh, in a strongly worded statement, accused many political allies and senior government figures of abandoning Tinubu at a critical time when the nation’s sovereignty and leadership image are under scrutiny.
He noted that the absence of a coordinated defense of the President’s administration, particularly after the controversial remarks attributed to former U.S. President Donald Trump, reflected “a betrayal of loyalty and national pride.”
According to Onoh, the silence from top political aides, cabinet members, and ruling party loyalists suggests a lack of conviction in defending the country’s interests before foreign powers.
He stated, “It is disheartening that at a time like this, when Nigeria faces international misrepresentation, those who should speak boldly for the President are choosing silence over solidarity. Silence, in this case, is not golden, it is betrayal.”
DDM reports that Onoh drew parallels between the current diplomatic tension and historical instances where external pressure tested Nigeria’s unity, noting that previous administrations had faced similar Western skepticism but received stronger internal defense.
He lamented that the situation has allowed foreign narratives to dominate global discourse on Nigeria, portraying the country as unstable and incapable of managing its internal affairs.
The former presidential aide also urged the Federal Government’s communication machinery to act decisively, warning that failure to counter negative perceptions could lead to long-term diplomatic consequences.
He said, “When Trump or any foreign leader speaks of Nigeria with contempt, our silence becomes their validation. We must reclaim our story, not wait for outsiders to define us.”
DDM learned that Onoh also called on Nigeria’s National Assembly to issue an official statement reaffirming the country’s commitment to peace, democracy, and human rights, while rejecting any form of external interference or threat.
He further stressed that President Tinubu’s government deserves unified support across party lines, emphasizing that moments of international crisis should transcend political divisions.
Political analysts say Onoh’s remarks highlight growing unease within pro-Tinubu circles over the global fallout of the U.S. classification, especially as opposition figures and diaspora commentators use the development to question the administration’s leadership capacity.
Onoh concluded by warning that internal disunity would only embolden external actors seeking to undermine Nigeria’s sovereignty.
He declared, “Nigeria must speak with one voice, or we risk letting the world mistake our silence for surrender.”

APC Senator Prince Ned Nwoko Must Be Held Accountable For Crimes Against A Minor And Abuse Of Power
DDM News
(DDM) – The controversial case involving APC Senator Prince Ned Nwoko has gained international attention after activist and journalist Omoyele Sowore publicly highlighted allegations of child abuse, sexual assault, and drug introduction against the senator.
Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) gathered that Sowore, through his verified social media handles, revealed that Nwoko allegedly married Nollywood actress Regina Daniels when she was only 17 years old, legally a minor under United Kingdom law, where Nwoko is a registered solicitor.
Legal analysts warn that if these claims are verified, any sexual activity following the marriage could constitute statutory rape under British law.
Sowore’s post further accused Senator Nwoko of introducing Daniels to hard drugs while she was still underage and coercing her into repeated sexual relations.
The activist stressed that these allegations are not moral failings but serious criminal offences that demand legal investigation and prosecution.
According to Sowore, it is unacceptable for Nwoko to continue practising law in the United Kingdom while facing such grave allegations.
He urged the Law Society of England and Wales and the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) to commence disciplinary proceedings before the Independent Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT) to determine the senator’s fitness to practise law.
Nwoko, who represents Delta North Senatorial District, has been accused of using political influence, wealth, and connections with security agencies to suppress victims and prevent accountability, according to Sowore.
Activists and human rights groups have echoed these concerns, insisting that no public official should be above the law.
Observers told DDM that the case, now widely trending online, may have both national and international implications. “If these allegations are substantiated, Nwoko’s legal status in the UK and his political career in Nigeria could face serious repercussions,” a legal rights campaigner said.
Sowore’s revelations have reignited public discourse on impunity among Nigerian elites and the protection of minors.
Civil society advocates have called for joint investigations by Nigerian authorities and international legal bodies to ensure that justice is served.
As of publication, Senator Nwoko has not issued any response to the allegations, while Regina Daniels has remained silent.
Meanwhile, Sowore continues to post updates, urging authorities to act decisively and warning that “impunity has an expiry date.”
(DDM) – Fresh tension erupted in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, after part of President Bola Tinubu’s campaign office was demolished by officials of the Benue State Urban Development Board.
Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) gathered that the demolition, which occurred late Wednesday night, has sparked outrage among supporters of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), who described the act as politically motivated and a deliberate attempt to humiliate the president’s loyalists in the state.
Eyewitnesses said the demolition team arrived in the early hours of Thursday, using heavy machinery to pull down the front section of the building that had just been renovated and inaugurated two weeks ago as the official Tinubu/Shettima Campaign Office in Benue State.
A source close to the office management told DDM that no prior notice was served before the demolition.
He alleged that the action was carried out on orders from top state officials who claimed the structure violated new zoning and setback regulations recently introduced by the Benue State Urban Development Board.
Reacting to the incident, the APC Publicity Secretary in Benue, Daniel Ihomun, condemned the demolition, calling it a “provocative attack on democracy” and accusing the state government of intolerance.
He demanded an immediate apology and compensation for the destruction of party property.
However, officials of the Urban Development Board defended their action, insisting that the structure encroached on a public drainage channel and failed to obtain proper building approval.
The board’s spokesperson said all illegal structures would face similar treatment, regardless of political affiliation.
Political analysts who spoke to DDM warned that the incident could heighten tensions between the ruling APC at the federal level and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)-led government in Benue.
They noted that the state has remained a political flashpoint since the last general elections, which saw bitter rivalry between both parties.
The Benue APC youth wing has vowed to organize a peaceful protest in Makurdi, demanding the resignation of the Urban Development Board chairman and calling on President Tinubu to intervene directly in what they describe as “systematic political persecution.”
Meanwhile, security operatives have been deployed to prevent further escalation, as fears grow that the demolition could spark reprisal vandalism or political clashes ahead of the 2025 election cycle.
DDM will continue to monitor the situation as reactions pour in from across the state’s political spectrum.
(DDM) – Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, has expressed deep condolences to Alhaji (Dr.) Ahmadu Adamu Mu’azu, former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), over the passing of his mother, Hajiya Halima Mu’azu.
In a heartfelt message shared on his verified handle and obtained by Diaspora Digital Media (DDM), Obi described the late matriarch as a woman of “exemplary moral standards, compassion, and grace,” whose life of service and humility will continue to inspire generations.
He wrote, “My Dear elder brother, Alhaji (Dr.) Ahmadu Adamu Mu’azu, Walin Darazo, with profound sorrow, I extend my deepest condolences to you and your family on the passing of your beloved mother, Hajiya Halima, a woman of exemplary moral standards, compassion, and grace whose legacy will forever inspire.”
Obi prayed for divine comfort for the Mu’azu family, asking Allah to grant the deceased eternal rest in Al-Jannat al-Firdaus and to strengthen her children and loved ones through the painful loss.
The condolence message has since attracted wide reactions on social media, with many Nigerians commending Obi for his empathy and humility in reaching out to leaders across political and religious divides.
According to DDM correspondents, Hajiya Halima Mu’azu was widely respected in Darazo, Bauchi State, for her charitable works and dedication to community development.
She was known for supporting widows, orphans, and indigent students through quiet acts of generosity that earned her admiration within and beyond her local community.
Political observers note that Obi’s condolence message reflects his consistent emphasis on unity and compassion across faiths and ethnic lines.
Despite political differences, he has often used personal gestures and public statements to promote mutual respect among Nigerians.
The former Anambra governor’s message concluded with words of prayer and solidarity: “May Allah grant her Al-Jannat al-Firdaus and bestow upon you and your family the strength to bear this irreparable loss. In sympathy and respect.”
The late Hajiya Halima’s burial, according to Islamic rites, took place in Darazo, Bauchi State, with prayers led by prominent clerics and attended by family members, community leaders, and sympathizers from across the country.
