Delta: PDP Defectors Hesitant to Register with APC Amid Internal Tensions

In Delta State, a significant number of former People’s Democratic Party (PDP) members who recently shifted allegiance to the All Progressives Congress (APC) alongside Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and his predecessor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, are reportedly reluctant to formalize their new party membership. Despite their public defection, these individuals have not officially resigned from the PDP, leading to complications in the APC’s ongoing registration process. Local APC ward leaders have been hesitant to register these defectors without formal resignation letters from the PDP, causing a sluggish start to the registration exercise. This impasse prompted Elder Omeni Sobotie, the state APC chairman, to intervene, instructing ward and local government leaders to proceed with registrations without demanding resignation proofs. The situation has created a palpable tension within the APC ranks, as existing members express apprehension about the influx of former PDP members. Sources indicate a mutual distrust, with long-standing APC members wary of the newcomers, while the defectors remain cautious, observing the party dynamics before fully integrating. Valentine Onojeghuo, the APC state publicity secretary, emphasized the need for a seamless registration process, urging all party functionaries to eliminate bureaucratic obstacles that could hinder the integration of new members. Meanwhile, the PDP is experiencing internal efforts to rebuild and retain its base. Elder Emmanuel Ogidi, the Chairman of the Zonal Caretaker Committee of the PDP in the South-South, announced plans to establish a caretaker executive within a month, aiming to rejuvenate the party’s structure and appeal. The mass defection, described by Governor Oborevwori as a “movement” rather than a mere party switch, was marked by extensive consultations across various levels of government. The governor highlighted the support received from President Bola Tinubu, aligning the move with the federal government’s “Renewed Hope Agenda” and his administration’s M.O.R.E Agenda. Despite threats from the PDP to legally challenge the defections, no lawsuits have been filed yet. A member of the party’s National Working Committee revealed that preparations are underway to seek court declarations to vacate the seats of the defectors, focusing initially on Delta State.

Mr. Fashola stated, “Contrary to popular belief, this operation does not focus solely on private vehicles. It encompasses all vehicle categories playing a role in the state’s transportation network. “All vehicle owners, especially those preparing to use their vehicles for commercial activities, must ensure they meet all necessary standards of roadworthiness.” He further advised, “Before converting your vehicle for commercial use, ensure it passes all necessary checks. You can visit any of our annex offices for a full inspection before putting the vehicle into service.” Fashola also reiterated the agency’s unwavering dedication to maintaining consistent enforcement strategies to improve safety and efficiency on Lagos roads. Governor Sule Dispels APC Exit Rumors Involving Buhari, Malami Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has dismissed growing speculation that former President Muhammadu Buhari, former Attorney General Abubakar Malami, and others are planning to leave the All Progressives Congress (APC) before the 2027 general election. Sule responded to claims suggesting that members of the former Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) bloc were considering an exit from APC due to alleged marginalization under the Bola Tinubu administration. While addressing the issue in Lafia on Friday, Governor Sule maintained that attempts to cause division within the party have been unsuccessful. “There’s no movement called taking CPC out of APC,” he declared. “Our father, former President Muhammadu Buhari, is CPC. No one else holds that identity. “When he aligns CPC with you, it’s aligned with you. When he withdraws that support, it’s no longer with you. “He still carries his loyal 12 million voters wherever he goes, and he’s not departing from APC. “People hoping to lure our key figures, like Malami, away from the party will not succeed. Malami isn’t leaving APC. “That’s why we visited Buhari recently in Kaduna, and we assured him: ‘Baba, you’re not going anywhere,’” Sule emphasized.

Rhapsody of Realities May 3rd 2025, ASSOCIATES OF THE GOD-KIND

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High (Psalm 82:6). Psalm 82:6 is a remarkable portion of scripture; this truth was echoed by the Lord Jesus Himself in John 10:34. He said, “…Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?” What would this mean but what it says? In John 1:12, the Bible tells us, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” Then in 1 John 3:1, the Apostle John exclaimed excitedly, “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God….” The Apostle Paul, in his beautiful letter to the Galatian church, said, “And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ” (Galatians 4:6-7). Therefore, when Jesus said we are gods, He unveiled the truth about our divine birth and nature. 2 Peter 1:4 declares, “Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature….” This means you’re now an associate or sharer of the God-kind. You’re a carrier or conveyor of the God-life. What a blessed reality! This, however, doesn’t mean we’re equal with God Himself but that He’s brought us into His divine class. The Lord Jesus is still the Lord of our lives, our King, and we serve Him. Glory to His Name forever! PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the revelation of my identity in Christ. I’m an associate of the God-kind; I function from the standpoint of advantage, victory, dominion and power, because I’m born of God and conscious of His life in me. I walk in the fullness of this understanding, living according to your will, serving you as my Lord, Master, and King, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDYJohn 1:12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: || Romans 8:16The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 1 John 4:4Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. DAILY AFFIRMATIONS: I am a life-giving spirit and everything I touch or connect to receives life. My body is God’s house; the Holy Spirit perambulates every fiber of my being and every cell of my blood. I’m healthy and strong! Only the life and nature of Christ – His beauty and glory – are manifested in my physical body because He perambulates in 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 that I get involved in, works. I reign as a king in this life, changing situations and circumstances in my favour. I make decrees and they’re established, for the Word of God on my lips is God talking! I’ll never be discouraged or subject to the crippling principles of this world, because I reign and rule by the Word. Christ has brought perfection and excellence into my life. I am prospering exceedingly, manifesting the righteousness and dominion of Christ everywhere. I’m continually filled with the Spirit of God. 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. 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. I am stronger, bigger, healthier, brighter and wiser today, than I was yesterday, for the invigorating power of the Holy Spirit works actively and mightily in and through me daily. It works in me mightily, causing my health to flourish daily. No weapon formed against my body shall prosper, for my body is preserved by the Spirit. I was born for the praise and glory of God in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Speak in tongues.

It was only President Bola Tinubu who embraced this responsibility and insisted on creating a platform to address the concerns raised by Ndi Igbo.” “The South East Development Commission (SEDC) was his initiative, one that no other President had been willing to establish.

Anglican Bishop Urges FG to Halt Emergence of New Terrorist Groups in Nigeria

The Anglican Bishop of Umuahia, Bishop Geoffrey Ibeabuchi, has voiced strong concern over the deteriorating security landscape across Nigeria. He expressed alarm that criminal activities by armed bandits are forcefully displacing villagers from their homes and farms, contributing significantly to the growing population of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). The Bishop made this urgent appeal at St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Umuahia on Friday during his Presidential Address at the 2nd Session of the 11th Synod. He advised the Federal Government to instruct security operatives to take decisive and immediate steps to halt the emergence and spread of new terrorist factions across different regions of the country. Bishop Ibeabuchi highlighted that attacks on military installations, illegal arms proliferation, and unlawful extortion by some security personnel at checkpoints are placing more Nigerian citizens in jeopardy. “There is no safe zone in Nigeria anymore, not even military barracks,” the Bishop declared. “Security operatives must act swiftly to curtail the growth of emerging terrorist cells across the nation.” In a humanitarian plea, Bishop Ibeabuchi called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to authorize the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). He reasoned that releasing Kanu could potentially unveil those responsible for escalating violence and destruction in the South East under the guise of IPOB’s mission. The Bishop also criticized the prevailing level of poverty nationwide, pointing out that the Federal Government’s failure to provide adequate palliatives following the removal of fuel subsidy has worsened the living conditions of the masses. On a state level, Bishop Ibeabuchi praised Governor Alex Otti of Abia State for his commendable accomplishments so far. However, he warned the governor to remain vigilant and avoid falling prey to sycophantic influences that may derail the administration’s objectives.

Social Media Reactions as Donald Trump Shares AI-Generated Image of Himself as the Pope

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has stirred controversy online after posting an AI-generated image of himself dressed in traditional papal robes, resembling the Pope, on his Truth Social platform. The image, which Trump shared on Friday night, quickly caught attention and sparked mixed responses. Many saw it as a bold and controversial move, especially considering recent events in the Catholic Church. It’s worth remembering that Pope Francis, who passed away in April due to a stroke and heart failure, was mourned by global leaders, including Trump, who attended the funeral service. Despite this gesture of respect, the AI-generated image posted by Trump has provoked strong backlash across multiple social media platforms. One user wrote: “This is disgusting and entirely offensive.” Another commented: “This is disrespectful to the church and God himself… he’s literally the antichrist.” A third person tweeted: “How disrespectful to Catholics. That is what Trump and his supporters represent – disrespect, cruelty, and ignorance. How dare you make a joke out of the sacred process of choosing a new pope.” Another tweet read: “This is extremely narcissistic. Republicans really chose this?” The Vatican, in the wake of Pope Francis’ passing, recently announced that the conclave to elect the next pope is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, May 7.

Arsenal in Transfer Talks for Francisco Trincao Amid Man Utd Interest

Arsenal have initiated negotiations to secure a deal for Francisco Trincao, a transfer target also being closely monitored by Manchester United, as part of their strategic move for manager Mikel Arteta’s squad development. As reported by Portuguese media outlet Record, the North London club is among three Premier League teams currently in discussions with Sporting CP regarding the 25-year-old winger. Back in April, it was revealed that Manchester United had shortlisted Trincao as a key offensive reinforcement for the upcoming summer transfer window. This interest stems from the winger’s past association with current Sporting manager Ruben Amorim, who previously coached him at both Braga and Sporting CP. The report also highlighted that Arsenal’s scouting team has been actively evaluating Trincao’s performance throughout the current season at Sporting. By the end of the season, Trincao will still have two years remaining on his contract with Sporting. The Portuguese international is no stranger to English football, having gained Premier League experience during his loan spell with Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 2021–2022 campaign. Trincao made a permanent switch to Sporting CP from Barcelona in 2023. However, the Catalan giants included a €25 million buyback clause valid until 2026 and retained a 50% sell-on clause as part of the transfer agreement with Sporting.
