According to Ajaero, since the correspondences were dispatched to the relevant authorities, no response had been received from any of them.

Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, Ajuri Ngelale, who was reacting to the raging political crisis in the oil-rich state during a live programme, stated that the Nigerian leader has sounded it to the Minister of Federal Capital Territory , Nyesom Wike, and others that he would not back any party in the power struggle.

Former Secretary General of the United Nations, Prof Ibrahim Gambari, has said the time has come for the body to reform its Security Council, not only in terms of use or misuse of veto power but also to expand its membership in both permanent and non-permanent categories.
