Datti Baba-Ahmed, the Labour Party’s vice presidential candidate in Nigeria’s 2023 general elections, has firmly dismissed any speculations of discord between him and the party’s presidential flagbearer, Peter Obi. Baba-Ahmed made this clarification during his attendance at the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the Julius Abure-led faction of the Labour Party, held on Monday in Abuja. According to a report by the Daily Post, the Labour Party has recently been entangled in deep-seated internal turmoil, leading to a clear division within its ranks. The party is currently polarized between two factions: one under the leadership of Julius Abure and the other steered by the interim Chairman, Nenadi Usman. The majority of party stakeholders, including prominent figures, argue that Julius Abure’s tenure as the national chairman has come to a lawful end. This view was reinforced by a court ruling, which explicitly directed Abure to desist from identifying or parading himself as the national chairman of the Labour Party. In line with this judicial directive, leading members of the Labour Party such as Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, the presidential candidate Peter Obi, Datti Baba-Ahmed himself, along with elected lawmakers representing the party, have consistently shown their allegiance to the Nenadi Usman-led faction. Despite his presence at the NEC meeting convened by the Abure faction, Baba-Ahmed clarified his mission, stating that his appearance was purely in the interest of peace-building within the party. Speaking to journalists on the sidelines of the meeting, he emphasized that Peter Obi remains a bona fide member of the Labour Party, dismissing rumors suggesting otherwise. “I have attended the meeting and paid attention to the coalition dialogues. Yes, I still retain my membership in the Labour Party,” Baba-Ahmed asserted. He further stressed that Peter Obi, who is his principal, is equally committed to the Labour Party. While both leaders have participated in coalition discussions with other political entities, Baba-Ahmed pointed out that such coalitions do not equate to party membership shifts. “To the best of our knowledge, His Excellency Peter Obi, my leader, remains with the Labour Party. Like myself, he was involved in the coalition talks. However, participating in a coalition does not automatically signify joining another party like the ADC. There is no foundation for such claims,” he explained. Addressing speculations about a fallout between him and Peter Obi, Baba-Ahmed categorically stated that such a scenario is beyond the realm of possibility. “There is absolutely no crack between Peter Obi and me. In fact, imagining a rift between us is more difficult than cracking the entire APC structure,” Baba-Ahmed declared humorously but firmly. This declaration comes at a critical time when the Labour Party is battling internal divisions that threaten its cohesion and public image. Baba-Ahmed’s reassurances are aimed at calming tensions and projecting unity at the top leadership level of the party.
Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has firmly dismissed recent speculations about his potential defection, clarifying that he remains committed to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and has no plans to leave. Governor Adeleke reaffirmed his political allegiance during the official flag-off ceremony of the 3.5-kilometre dualisation of Ila township road in Ila-Orangun on Monday. He emphasized that his primary mission remains the development and service of the people of Osun State, stating that nothing will derail his dedication to this cause. Expressing his delight over the commencement of the Ila township road dualisation project, the governor acknowledged the numerous uncertainties facing Nigeria but insisted that governance must continue regardless of challenges. Governor Adeleke further assured the public that he had made a solemn vow to both God and the citizens of Osun State to serve them diligently and that no distraction would deter him from fulfilling this commitment. Road Projects and Infrastructure Development in Osun State The governor proudly highlighted his administration’s strides in infrastructural development, stating that his government has reconstructed, rehabilitated, and renovated over 175 kilometres of roads across the state. Several other strategic projects, including dual carriageways and flyovers, are also underway at various completion stages. Adeleke underscored the strategic importance of completing the Osogbo–Ikirun–Inisha–Okuku–Ijabe–Ila Odo road, a 39-kilometre stretch linking Osun State with neighbouring Kwara State. He reiterated his government’s resolve to see the project through to completion. “I was elected on the PDP platform, and I remain steadfast within the party. There is no intention or reason for me to defect,” Governor Adeleke asserted. He added that the newly flagged-off second phase of the project mirrors the extent of work achieved in the past 12 years. However, his administration is determined to complete this phase within 12 months by God’s grace. Governor Adeleke described the gathering at the event as a divinely orchestrated moment in history, affirming that everyone is destined by God for their respective roles and accomplishments in life.

The legal proceedings against the former Governor of Kwara State, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed, along with his ex-Commissioner for Finance, Alhaji Ademola Banu, resumed this Monday at the Kwara State High Court in Ilorin. Presiding over the session is Justice Mahmud Abdulgafar. Both Ahmed and Banu are being prosecuted for the alleged diversion of ₦5.78 billion in state funds. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has leveled serious charges against them, accusing the duo of colluding to siphon off public funds designated for essential services, notably the payment of teachers’ salaries and the improvement of infrastructure in primary and junior secondary schools across Kwara State. According to the EFCC’s accusations, the diverted funds originated from grants provided by the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) to the Kwara State Government between 2013 and 2015. A substantial portion of the ₦5 billion released for educational infrastructure projects during this period was allegedly misappropriated. An investigative report from the UBEC Projects Monitoring Committee further intensifies these allegations. The report revealed that 51 school projects, which had been approved under the 2013 Action Plan, were left incomplete and abandoned due to an alleged lack of funds—despite the fact that UBEC had fully disbursed the necessary finances for their completion. The ongoing trial, initially commenced on December 4, 2024, has already featured testimony from the EFCC’s first witness, Abubakar Hassan, who serves as the Assistant Director of Finance at UBEC. During his testimony, Hassan confirmed that the funds intended for educational development in the state were indeed misappropriated. The court had scheduled to proceed further on Monday with the testimony of another prosecution witness, Alhaji Suleiman Oluwadare Ishola, the former Accountant General of Kwara State. His testimony is expected to shed additional light on the alleged financial malfeasance and clarify the extent of the misappropriation that occurred under the former administration. This high-profile case has attracted significant public attention, as it reflects the broader challenges of accountability and transparency in the management of public funds in Nigeria.

Nigerian social activist and political figure, Omoyele Sowore, has disclosed the identity of the individual accused of stealing his AI-powered smart glasses during a protest held at the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters in Abuja. According to a report by LMSINT MEDIA, Sowore had spearheaded a major protest on Monday, where retired police officers gathered to express their grievances concerning inadequate pension entitlements at the Force Headquarters. Following the demonstration, Sowore raised concerns about his missing Ray-Ban smart glasses.

Taking to his official Facebook page on Tuesday, Sowore claimed that the suspect is one Aku Victor Chiemere, identified as a staff cameraman working under the supervision of the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), CSP Muyiwa Adejobi. Sowore posted, “During yesterday’s historic #PoliceProtest held at the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters in Abuja, Aku Victor Chiemere, who serves as a staff cameraman under CSP Muyiwa Adejobi, committed an act of theft by taking my Ray-Ban AI smart glasses. Such conduct is not just a petty crime but reflects a deeper criminal tendency orchestrated within the ranks of senior police officials.” He further demanded that his stolen property be returned without delay and called for the legal prosecution of both CSP Muyiwa Adejobi and Aku Victor Chiemere. The charges he specified include theft, conspiracy, and official misconduct.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has sounded an alarm over the escalating food crisis severely impacting northeast Nigeria, stating that over 3.7 million individuals in the conflict-ridden areas are currently battling acute food shortages. In a press release shared on Monday in Abuja, as reported by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Aliyu Dawobe, the ICRC spokesperson, disclosed this grave situation. He emphasized that a substantial portion of those struggling with hunger were formerly self-sufficient farmers who have lost access to their farmlands due to the prolonged insurgency and unrest ravaging the region. The statement shed light on how the persistent conflict has displaced countless families, obstructed access to fertile lands, and shattered established food supply systems. This has rendered many communities increasingly susceptible to starvation and malnutrition. As the annual lean season progresses — a period characterized by depleted household food stocks before the next harvest — families are coming under increasing strain. According to Diana Japaridze, Head of the ICRC’s sub-delegation in Maiduguri, this season is particularly challenging. “This is the time when families need to purchase food, but countless households affected by the conflict simply can’t afford it. They are compelled to drastically cut down their daily food consumption,” Japaridze noted. She further warned that this intensifying food scarcity is driving up malnutrition rates, particularly affecting children under the age of five, pregnant women, and nursing mothers. To mitigate this crisis, the ICRC is actively supporting malnutrition stabilization centers and conducting community education programs designed to equip families with the necessary knowledge to care for vulnerable children at risk of malnutrition. Moreover, to address the underlying causes of persistent food insecurity, the ICRC has launched a comprehensive agricultural support initiative aimed at bolstering resilience and promoting local food production. This program is designed to encompass both the rainy and dry farming seasons. “Our initiative backs both rainy and dry season cultivation, targeting thousands of farming households. This year alone, we have distributed climate-adapted seeds and farming tools to over 21,000 households to facilitate easier planting and increase productivity,” Japaridze stated. Beneficiaries have received an assortment of staple and vegetable seeds such as rice, maize, tomato, and okra to not only enhance the diversity of meals but also to improve their nutritional content. In addition to material support, the ICRC is providing comprehensive training in sustainable agricultural practices to ensure that farmers can continue producing food independently, even beyond the period of direct assistance from the Red Cross. Japaridze also highlighted a systemic intervention made in collaboration with the National Agricultural Seed Council (NASC). Together, they recently restored a critical water source essential for maintaining the seed testing and greenhouse facilities managed by NASC, which is vital for sustaining seed quality in Nigeria. Despite these robust interventions, Japaridze acknowledged that the lean season remains a formidable challenge, leaving many farming families still struggling to secure adequate food supplies

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has firmly criticized President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, warning him to desist from meddling in the affairs of Turkish organizations legally operating in Nigeria. The Islamic human rights group condemned Erdogan’s unfounded accusations and called on him to respect Nigeria’s sovereignty. This rebuttal followed the recent caution issued by the Turkish government to Nigeria, advising Nigerian authorities to be vigilant over the alleged presence of Gulenist terrorist networks within the country. MURIC Defends Turkish Entities in Nigeria According to Professor Ishaq Akintola, the Executive Director of MURIC, the Turkish groups active in Nigeria are predominantly focused on education and charitable initiatives. These organizations collaborate closely with Nigerians, contributing meaningfully to Nigeria’s educational development and social progress. In a press statement released on Monday, Professor Akintola expressed deep reservations about Turkey’s warning. He stated: “The Turkish government has urged Nigeria to beware of alleged Gulenist terrorists supposedly operating within our borders. We view this caution with considerable skepticism. President Erdogan is merely seeing imaginary threats where none exist. He is essentially haunted by his own fears.” Professor Akintola stressed that: “Nigeria is a sovereign democratic nation, not a Turkish colony or satellite. Erdogan has no authority to dictate Nigeria’s internal decisions or policies to further his personal or political agenda. It is common knowledge globally that Erdogan has crushed virtually all opposition within Turkey through authoritarian and repressive governance.” Nigeria Rejects Erdogan’s Political Manipulation MURIC highlighted that the Nigerian government has already dismissed Turkey’s unsubstantiated allegations. Nigeria remains committed to democratic values and refuses to become complicit in any foreign power’s efforts to suppress dissent or political opposition in their homeland. Akintola further stated: “We urge the Turkish President to cease his relentless pursuit of the followers of the late Shaykh Gulen residing in Nigeria. His baseless claims amount to nothing but sensationalism. Nigeria cannot be deceived or dragged into Turkey’s internal political conflicts.” “Erdogan should save his cock and bull stories for the marines. Nigeria is not a pawn in anyone’s geopolitical chessboard. We stand firm and will not tolerate any attempt to exploit or manipulate our nation.” The Larger Implication of Turkey’s Stance This development underscores a broader concern about foreign political influence in Africa, especially where international organizations operate under bilateral cooperation. Nigeria’s resistance to external political coercion reaffirms its sovereignty and the independence of its civil society space.

The Nigerian Army’s 6 Brigade, alongside Sector 3 of Operation Whirl Stroke (OPWS), has praised the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) for its significant contributions to disaster relief and humanitarian services throughout Nigeria. This recognition was made public on Monday in Jalingo, the capital of Taraba State, during a courtesy engagement led by the North-East Zonal Coordinator of NEMA, Yakubu Lawal. Brigadier General Kingsley Chidiebere Uwa, the Brigade Commander, delivered the commendation, appreciating NEMA’s consistent dedication to alleviating the hardships caused by emergencies across the nation. Brigadier General Uwa highlighted that the 6 Brigade is fully committed to providing unflinching support to NEMA in any future emergency or disaster response endeavors. According to him, “NEMA’s efforts in reducing the burdens of disaster impacts are truly praiseworthy. The 6 Brigade stands ready and willing to collaborate with your agency whenever the situation demands our support.” In his reaction, NEMA’s Zonal Coordinator, Yakubu Lawal, expressed gratitude to the Nigerian Army for its ongoing collaboration with the agency. He specifically mentioned the military’s timely intervention during the severe flood crisis in Borno State in 2024, which helped in saving lives and reducing damage. Lawal further sounded an alert regarding impending flood threats projected for parts of Taraba and Adamawa States, attributing it to anticipated heavy rainfall. He emphasized that proactive cooperation between security forces and disaster management agencies is essential to curbing the potential risks associated with the forecasts. Adding to the conversation, another NEMA representative, Yakubu Suleiman, praised the 6 Brigade for its dependable alliance with civil authorities. Suleiman stressed that such military-civil partnerships are crucial in bolstering disaster preparedness and response capacities in Taraba State. This sustained collaboration between the Nigerian Army and NEMA not only enhances emergency response efficiency but also underscores the importance of joint efforts in safeguarding lives and properties amid recurring natural disasters in the region.

In a significant political development, the Benue State House of Assembly has officially reinstated the last batch of seven lawmakers previously suspended since February 2025. This decision marks the end of a protracted disciplinary process that had captivated the interest of the public and media alike. The legislators reinstated are Douglas Akya representing Makurdi South, Mrs. Becky Orpin from Gboko East, Hon. Manger Manger of Tarka constituency, Ezrah Nyiyongu from Ukum, Jonathan Agbidye of Katsina Ala East, and Samuel Agada. Their reinstatement comes shortly after six other suspended colleagues were recalled by the House just a month prior. During the Assembly’s plenary session, the Majority Leader, Comrade Saater Tiseer, presented the formal letter that outlined the lawmakers’ request for reinstatement. The document indicated that the suspended members had shown genuine remorse and provided assurances to maintain honorable conduct in future engagements. The motion to recall these members enjoyed widespread support across the House, with notable backing from Bemdoo Ipusu and Elias Audu. Both legislators acknowledged the sincerity of the suspended lawmakers and encouraged the Assembly to exercise forgiveness. In appreciation of the resolution, several members of the Assembly praised Speaker Hyacinth Aondona Dajoh and the leadership of the House. They lauded the leadership’s generosity and strategic approach in resolving the matter, emphasizing that such magnanimity strengthens democratic institutions.

The National Assembly Complex in Abuja is currently under heightened security surveillance amid growing tension following reports that Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who was suspended, plans to return to the legislative chamber today, Tuesday. According to a report from LMSINT MEDIA, Senator Natasha publicly declared on Saturday her firm intention to resume official legislative duties on Tuesday, July 22. She referenced a ruling delivered by Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja as the legal foundation for her planned return to plenary. Despite her assertion, the leadership of the Senate, through the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Yemi Adaramodu, issued a rebuttal on Sunday. In his statement, Adaramodu downplayed the claim made by Senator Natasha, stressing that the court judgment she referred to was not binding. Instead, he described the ruling as “an advisory opinion” rather than a compulsory mandate for the Senate to reinstate her. Nonetheless, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan remains adamant about her decision to resume her senatorial responsibilities despite the Senate’s stance. Meanwhile, a viral video currently circulating on various social media platforms shows a significant increase in the number of security operatives, including heavily armed personnel, stationed at the entrance of the National Assembly Complex. This action is presumably to forestall any potential breach of peace or public order that may arise from the senator’s controversial return attempt.

ABUJA — Across Nigeria, retired police officers launched coordinated protests yesterday to express deep frustration over poor pension benefits and neglect of their welfare. The demonstration wasn’t limited to Abuja; it simultaneously occurred in states including Edo, Plateau, Kwara, Taraba, and Cross River, among others, signaling a national outcry against systemic pension failures. Abuja Protest: Heavy Rain Couldn’t Deter Aggrieved Retirees In the nation’s capital, Abuja, despite persistent rainfall, the retired police officers gathered en masse at the entrance of the National Assembly. Their protest coincided with that of the #RevolutionNow movement, led by activist Omoyele Sowore, further amplifying calls for social justice and reform. Central to the retirees’ grievances was their demand for the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) to be withdrawn from the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS), which they labelled as unfair and exploitative. Responding swiftly, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, clarified that he was not opposed to the police exiting the CPS, affirming that concerns over inadequate retirement benefits affected even active officers. Retirees Decry Meagre Pension Payments At the protest venue, retirees voiced bitter frustrations. They sang solidarity songs and held placards, denouncing the N14,000 to N22,000 monthly pensions, which many ex-officers currently receive — an amount deemed grossly insufficient in today’s harsh economic climate. Manir Lawal, a retired Chief Superintendent of Police, strongly condemned the pension scheme, declaring it unjust. “We demand to be removed from the CPS. At 67, I and many others in our 60s and 70s have served this country diligently. Yet, this pension system has left us impoverished,” he lamented. Other protestors shared similar stories: “They owe me nine months of pension. I get just N14,000 monthly. Others get as low as N10,000.” A newly retired officer expressed his dismay at being offered only N3.6 million gratuity after over 15 years of service, contrasting the more generous gratuities received by counterparts in sister security agencies — sometimes up to N30 million. Protesters’ Firm Stance Undeterred by the elements, the retirees vowed to remain in the rain until the National Assembly leadership addressed their plight. Omoyele Sowore and fellow activists complemented the retirees’ efforts by leading a march to the Force Headquarters and the National Assembly, demanding a living wage and proper pensions for all police personnel. Placards bore bold demands such as: Nationwide Echo of Frustration Elsewhere, protests echoed the same frustrations: IGP Meets Retired Officers, Reassures of Ongoing Efforts At the Force Headquarters in Abuja, IGP Egbetokun empathized with the retirees, acknowledging the severity of their struggles. “We share your concerns. We too will one day retire, and it’s imperative that your welfare is secured,” he stated. He revealed his recent meeting with National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, where the welfare of retired police officers was extensively discussed. While refraining from divulging sensitive details to the press, the IGP assured that tangible steps were being taken to enhance police pension benefits. “I am not against the police exiting CPS. If it resolves the problem, I support it. However, if the exit is infeasible, alternative solutions must be sought,” he emphasized. He reminded the retirees that efforts to exit CPS had spanned over a decade, with all past Inspectors-General of Police attempting — unsuccessfully — to achieve this. “Exiting CPS is beyond the power of any IGP. Regardless, even within CPS, we can seek reforms that ensure retirees live comfortably post-service,” he added. He also cautioned against external agitators: “Don’t let enemies of the police manipulate you. Stay alert to those who pretend to support your cause but might have hidden agendas.” Conclusion The mass protests by retired police officers across Nigeria have reignited national conversations about police pensions, welfare, and post-service dignity. While the Inspector-General of Police has shown support, the ball remains in the Federal Government’s court to implement substantial reforms that address these longstanding grievances.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith (1 John 5:4). Your life is your responsibility, and through the Word of God, you have the power to create the circumstances of your life. As a child, your parents were responsible for the situations surrounding your life. For instance, when Jesus was born, He was placed in a manger, not because He chose to be, but because that was where His parents put Him. On another occasion, the angel didn’t instruct Jesus but spoke to Joseph, saying, “…take the young child and his mother and flee into Egypt…” (Matthew 2:13). Jesus didn’t make that decision; He was just carried along as a baby. Even as He grew, He remained subject to Joseph and His mother Mary. However, when He came of age, He began making His own decisions, just like Moses who, when he came to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter (Hebrews 11:24). In the same way, you must come to the point where you decide and determine the circumstances of your life. Choose to live in victory no matter what. Decide you’re going to be a success at every level of your life and in everything you do because that’s the life you’ve been given in Christ. Don’t allow your environment dictate how you live. You’re not a victim of the economy or economics of this world; you’re the seed of Abraham, a victor always. 2 Corinthians 2:14 says, “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.” We read in our opening verse, “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world….” You’re born of God and have overcome the world. You’re victorious in Christ. Therefore, choose to live victoriously every day. Live above the systems of this world. PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the power of your Word, and your Spirit that enables me to live victoriously every day above the systems of this world. I’m in charge and in control of my life and circumstances; I live by faith and create my own world of success and prosperity in line with your perfect will, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDYRomans 8:35-39Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? [shall] tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord, 2 Corinthians 2:14 MSGAnd I got it, thank God! In the Messiah, in Christ, God leads us from place to place in one perpetual victory parade. Through us, he brings knowledge of Christ. Everywhere we go, people breathe in the exquisite fragrance. John 16:33These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

I have the life and nature of God in me; therefore, I’m an overcomer and more than a conqueror. I live in Christ, where divinity reigns. I reign in prosperity with peace, health, and an abundance of wealth. I enjoy the supernatural life that God has given me. I am in union with the One who commands light to shine out of darkness. Like my heavenly Father, I speak forth life and my words are established over my health, finances, and everything that concerns me. I affirm that my gates are opened continually for wealth of the gentile to flow in. Everything I get involved in, works. In Christ, I have received the life of glory, honor, and excellence; a life where there’s no form of death, sickness, disease, or infirmity. My life is excellent and full of glory; I walk in absolute mastery, victory, safety, wellness, wholeness, and divine health because I’m in Christ and Christ is my life! His wisdom, righteousness, peace, glory, and joy are expressed through me, and my faith in the Word is the victory that overcomes the world. Today, I am living the life of victory and dominion that Jesus purchased for me through His vicarious death, burial, and resurrection. God’s Word is truth and everything He said about my health and my life is reality. My faith in the Word and its integrity is unyielding, and the Word produces the health, strength, vitality, and all the blessings and provisions that it talks about in Jesus’ name. Amen. Speak
