MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS IN ENGLAND PLAN THE LONGEST STRIKE EVER,

Physicians in England are preparing the longest strike in history, putting the National Health Service (NHS) in an unprecedented position. The primary cause of this strike is the ongoing disagreements about planned contract modifications between the British Medical Association (BMA) and the National Health Service (NHS). The doctors' main worries are that their working conditions are unsustainable, their remuneration is inadequate, and they are not being acknowledged for all of their hard work during the COVID-19 pandemic.

THE PREDICAMENT AND ITS EFFECTS,
Should the strike come to be, it will have a profound effect on England's healthcare system. Certain non-urgent services may be delayed, and patients may have to wait longer for appointments and treatments. The walkout may also result in more work for the remaining medical personnel, exacerbating the problems already present in the healthcare system. 
 FUNCTION OF THE BMA
The professional organization that represents physicians in the UK is called the British Medical Association (BMA). In order to allay the worries of its members, it has taken a proactive role in discussions with the government and the NHS. Better working conditions, equitable compensation, and acknowledgment of physicians' contributions during the COVID-19 epidemic have all been priorities for the BMA.

  The founder of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, Dr. Boniface Aniebonam, has described Friday’s Appeal Court judgment sacking the Kano State governor, Abba Yusuf, as a “rude shock.” Reacting to the court ruling invalidating Yusuf’s election victory, Aniebonam insisted that only the NNPP can determine its members, not the judiciary. He said, “I do know that it is only the NNPP and its members that can determine who is a member of the party,” he said in a statement on Saturday. “I also know that a party and its members can bring into the party, and grant such a person a waiver to go into election and represent the party in an election I also know and believe that it is only someone who contested nomination under NNPP that can challenge the membership of the party in an election. “To the contrary, no other person has the right to raise objection.” The NNPP founder argued that the party could sponsor any candidate by granting them a waiver to contest elections on its platform. Aniebona...
