After wowing the audience and the jury with her performance this spring at the Echkardt-Gramatté National Music Competition (e-Gré) at Brandon University (BU), McKenzie Warriner returns to conclude her winner’s tour with a pro series performance on Tuesday, Nov. 28.
The Saskatchewan born-and-raised soprano, who is now based in Toronto, will perform with pianist Danielle Guina at 7:30 p.m., at the Lorne Watson Recital Hall. Guina also accompanied Warriner in April’s 46th e-Gré competition. Part of the winner’s prize was an 11-stop Canadian tour, which has included concerts in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba an Ontario.
“The e-Gré competition introduces us to some of Canada’s most dynamic young artists, and McKenzie is a worthy addition to that tradition of excellence,” said Greg Gatien, Dean of BU’s School of Music. “It’s always fascinating and rewarding to see how the winner’s artistry grows between the competition and the conclusion of the tour, and I’m excited to welcome McKenzie back to BU, along with Danielle, who we know very well through her affiliation with the School of Music and our Conservatory.”
The program will include works by Olive Senior and Keith Hamel, whose composition Breath was commissioned for this year’s competition, as well as David McIntyre and more.
The e-Gré competition has been held annually at BU since 1976, promoting Canadian musicians and composers to new audiences. The competition rotates each year between voice, piano and strings.
Admission for Tuesday’s performance is $20, and tickets will be available at the door. Please contact the School of Music at Music@BrandonU.ca with any accessibility considerations.

2023 elections brought Nigeria’s worst court judgements – Bwala
Spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Presidential Campaign Council, Daniel Bwala
Daniel Bwala, spokesperson for the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar said the 2023 elections have brought about Nigeria’s worst court judgements in recent years.
Bwala said this in an interview with Arise Television on Monday,
According to him, the electoral tribunals of the 2023 presidential and gubernatorial elections led to the most inconsistent and worst judgements that the courts have delivered.
He expressed dissappointment over the sack of the Plateau State governor, the PDP’s Caleb Muftwang, by the Appeal Court in Jos.
Bwala said, “In 2023 elections, we have had the worst judgement of courts. We have not had so much of conflicting decisions by one tier of government, because if you look at the election tribunal this year;
“…you will notice that there were inconsistencies in one or two tribunal cases at the trial level, and probably at the Supreme Court, one or two complaints, but at the Court of Appeal is where almost all of these conflicting judgements have so far been experienced.”
Bwala further stated, “The court of Appeal is one court, so the court in Abuja can be relied on as the same court in Lagos, and as such, one will expect the court to be able to keep abreast of its judgements and keep consistent and constant judgements.
“The judgement by the court of Appeal in Plateau State that removed the governor, the appellate court dealt into the merit of a pre-election matter, and they said it also qualified as a pre-election and main election, and they delivered the judgement.
“The same court of Appeal in Ebonyi state, the case of pre-election was canvassed. The court of Appeal in Ebonyi said it’s a pre-election matter, we do not delve into pre-election.”
Bwala said the decision taken in Ebonyi state was also taken in Benue state, as the Appeal Court refused to delve into pre-election matters.
He noted that in the case of the 2023 elections, the Supreme Court had made it clear that opposition members of a political party are not allowed to bring up a case of pre-election matters of other political parties to the courts.
The lawyer said that several retired justices have always, in their judgements, classified the decisions by lower courts that did not follow the judgement of the Supreme Court as “Judicial Rascality.”
He added that they are embarking on their own frolics contrary to the constitution that says the judgement of the Supreme Court binds all other courts together.
He said, “I have no doubt in my mind that the Court of Appeal decision in Jos, when it goes to the Supreme Court, that like the way, when we say ‘All eyes are on the judiciary,’ the people seem to think that you’re blackballing the judiciary. No, when you say ‘all eyes are on the judiciary,’ you’re saying our hope now lies on how they will interpret.
“So, this case of Plateau State, when it goes to the Supreme Court, it will be a case of the Supreme Court vs the court of appeal. It has more to do with the sanctity and integrity of that Supreme Court itself;
“…because Supreme Court will have to determine whether that judgement they delivered in Presidential election tribunal is to be carried out by subordinate courts in Nigeria. Because they made it clear that a decision by the final court is called a settled law.
“Once a law is not determined by the final court, it is not a settled law. But once it is determined by a final court, it is cast in stone. So, the Supreme Court will have to determine whether the Appeal court is above it, or it is above the Court of Appeal.”

Tinubu To Present Proposed 2024 Budget In Few Days — Abbas
Ex-PGF DG Lukman says Fubara at risk of emasculation with dissolution of Rivers APC exco
Ex-PGF DG Lukman says Fubara at risk of emasculation with dissolution of Rivers APC exco

Salihu Lukman
Former Director General of the Progressives Governors Forum (PGF), Dr Salihu Lukman has sounded a note of warning to the Rivers State Governor, Mr Siminalaye Fubara, of an impending move to undermine him following the dissolution of the executive members of the Rivers state chapter of the All progressives Congress (APC).
Lukman, in a piece titled: “End of Progressive Politics” argued that argued that If dissolution stand, stage managed congresses will be organised to produce new party executives at all levels who will be loyal to the Minister of the Federal capital territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
Lukman who was the immediate past National Vice Chairman North of the APC envisaged that by 2027, Wike who has already fallen apart with Fubara would produce the APC Governorship candidate for Rivers State.
He claimed that APC under the leadership of President Tinubu, as it is constituted today, wasn’t the APC the founding fathers sold to Nigerians both in 2015 and 2023.
Lukman contended that with a garrison brand of progressive politics being played with Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje at the helm of affairs of the party, problems of political divisions in the country will be entrenched.
He noted: “The strategy of APC in Rivers State for 2027 will be to further fragment the people of the state. Rather than working to unite political leaders in Rivers State, based on which APC being an envisioned progressive party will be seeking to unite Chief Amaechi and Barr. Wike to be members of APC, President Asiwaju Tinubu’s garrison politics will only seek to take advantage of the current division between Chief Amaechi and Barr. Wike.
“In addition, Barr. Wike will have to incur the political cost of separating from his political godson, Chief Fubara. Even if Chief Fubara achieved all that needs to be achieved as Governor of Rivers State, President Asiwaju Tinubu’s garrison politics will emasculate him.
“For all these to be imagined under the leadership of President Asiwaju Tinubu, who is regarded to be a progressive politician and a descendant of Chief Awolowo will make Chief Awolowo to turn in his grave. Even Chief M. K. O Abiola have difficulty relating with many of the political decisions taken by President Asiwaju Tinubu in the last six months.
“At this rate, President Asiwaju Tinubu is practically pushing Nigerians to bid bye bye to progressive politics. With such reality, it simply means, the structures of APC in FCT will also be dissolved to produce new APC leaders at all levels of the party who will be loyal to Barr. Wike.
“And any state where APC is led by people who might have opposed President Asiwaju Tinubu will similarly be dissolved. Once the circle of imposing stooges as APC leaders at all levels is completed, which started with imposing Dr. Ganduje as National Chairman, the next level of imposition will spread to all other democratic institutions to guarantee the supremacy of garrison politics, which will then affirm all the political choices of APC under the leadership of President Asiwaju Tinubu, whatever that means.”
Continuing, he argued: “Something must be done urgently to arrest the current drift towards garrison politics in the name of progressive politics. It is either APC leaders take the needed steps to call both Dr. Ganduje, the APC NWC and President Asiwaju Tinubu to order by restoring constitutional order and returning the party to its founding vision of progressive politics, which should be about unity of party leaders and Nigerians, or the party can as well declare an end to progressive politics in Nigeria.
” So long as the decision of the NWC to dissolve all party executives in Rivers State at all levels is allowed to stand, it simply means that anyone who is alleged to have worked against President Asiwaju Tinubu during the 2023 elections is expelled from the party.
“With such declaration, the culture of imposition of candidates at all levels will take over APC. Consequently, elections will not be about the votes of citizens. Winners in elections will only be produced through rigging, vote buying and other manipulative strategies.
“The earlier every genuine APC leader come to terms with this new reality and begin the process of mobilisation both within the party and at wider levels of national political mobilisation, the better for the survival of democracy in country. A stitch in time, saves nine!”
