A factional chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, Robinson Ewor, has accused Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), of working as an insider mole for the All Progressives Congress (APC), aimed at weakening the opposition from within. Ewor believes Wike’s actions are part of a deliberate strategy to destabilize the PDP and thwart its ability to challenge the APC, both in Rivers State and nationally. Ewor, speaking on The Morning Show hosted by Arise Television on Monday, emphasized that Wike can no longer be regarded as a member of the PDP. He pointed out that Wike had publicly pledged allegiance to the APC, further asserting that his actions in the PDP were aimed at dismantling the opposition party. “I’ve expressed this before and I will reiterate: Nyesom Wike, the FCT minister, no longer belongs to the PDP. His presence in the PDP is a mission to bring it down and aid the destruction of opposition forces, not just in Rivers but across Nigeria,” Ewor declared. The factional leader criticized Wike for interfering in PDP leadership affairs while holding a position in an APC-led federal government. Ewor particularly pointed out Wike’s insistence on keeping Sam Anyanwu as the national secretary of the PDP, despite his clear support for the APC’s agenda. “Wike’s continued involvement in PDP matters is inappropriate. He has committed publicly to supporting the APC in the 2027 elections. He should focus on his role in the APC and leave PDP issues to those who are truly committed to the party,” Ewor added. Wike’s role in the PDP has sparked tension within the party, with many members questioning his true loyalties and his long-term intentions. Last Friday, Wike also called for the removal of Siminalayi Fubara as the governor of Rivers State, further escalating the political drama.

On Tuesday, cardinals will convene in the Vatican to discuss the funeral arrangements for Pope Francis, who unexpectedly passed away at the age of 88 after suffering a stroke and cardiac arrest. The funeral will be a significant event attended by world leaders, marking the beginning of the transition towards electing a new pope in an upcoming conclave. Pope Francis’ death ends an often turbulent papacy that witnessed tensions with traditionalists, as well as his tireless advocacy for the poor and marginalized. Earlier this year, the pontiff spent several weeks in the hospital battling double pneumonia but had shown signs of recovery, even making a public appearance in St. Peter’s Square on Easter Sunday. Funeral Preparations BeginFollowing the pope’s sudden death, long-standing Vatican rituals were immediately set in motion. Among these is the ceremonial breaking of the “Fisherman’s Ring” and lead seal to ensure they cannot be used by anyone else. Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, who led prayers in St. Peter’s Square on Monday evening, expressed gratitude for Pope Francis’ leadership, calling him “a pilgrim of hope” and recognizing his contributions to the Church. At 9 a.m. (0700 GMT) on Tuesday, all cardinals in Rome are scheduled to meet at the Vatican to finalize plans for the funeral, which is expected to take place sometime between Friday and Sunday. The service will be attended by notable world leaders, including U.S. President Donald Trump, who, despite his differences with the pope on immigration, confirmed his attendance along with his wife. Argentine President Javier Milei, a fellow native of Pope Francis, will also be present. Pope’s Final Wishes and Upcoming ConclaveIn an unusual departure from tradition, Pope Francis specified in his final testament that he wished to be buried in Rome’s Basilica of Saint Mary Major, rather than St. Peter’s Basilica, reflecting his personal wishes for his final resting place. Meanwhile, the Vatican has begun preparing for the highly secretive conclave that will elect the next pope. The gathering of cardinals will also include discussions about the daily operations of the Church before a new pope is chosen. Typically, a conclave takes place within 15 to 20 days of the pope’s death, which means the process is expected to begin no earlier than May 6. Currently, there is no clear frontrunner to succeed Pope Francis, but with at least 135 cardinals eligible to vote, the election will be watched closely by millions around the world.

In a concerning aviation incident on Monday, a Delta Air Lines aircraft experienced an engine fire while preparing for takeoff at Orlando International Airport, prompting the emergency evacuation of all passengers and crew members. The aircraft involved, an Airbus A330, was scheduled to depart for Atlanta but was halted following the fire. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the incident occurred at approximately 11:15 a.m. EDT as the plane was pushing back from the gate. All 282 passengers and 12 crew members on Delta Flight 1213 were safely evacuated using emergency slides, with no injuries reported. The FAA has confirmed it is launching a full investigation into the cause of the engine fire. Related safety regulations and aviation updates can be found via the official FAA.gov. Swift Response from Airport Authorities In a social media update, Orlando International Airport confirmed the fire was isolated to the aircraft’s tailpipe section during taxi on the ramp. Emergency responders from the airport’s Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) team were on scene quickly to contain the situation. Delta Airlines released a statement noting that its crew followed standard safety protocols upon noticing flames, ensuring a swift and safe evacuation. The airline has dispatched a separate aircraft to continue passengers’ travel to their final destinations later that day. Additionally, Delta’s maintenance division has taken the affected plane for technical evaluation. Recurring Pattern in US Aviation This marks another serious incident in what has become a worrisome trend in US aviation safety. In a separate occurrence just weeks earlier, an American Airlines aircraft experienced a similar engine fire during taxiing at Denver International Airport, forcing passengers to evacuate via the wing. These incidents come on the heels of a deadly mid-air crash in January, where an American Airlines regional jet collided with a military helicopter near Reagan National Airport, killing at least 67 people, according to CNN.

Prince Adewole Adebayo, the Social Democratic Party (SDP) presidential candidate in Nigeria’s 2023 elections, has openly criticized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, alleging his failure to govern effectively in light of the escalating security crisis in Plateau and Benue States. Adebayo voiced his concern during a conversation with Daily Post at a celebratory event in Abuja marking his wife Queen Lilian’s 50th birthday. He emphasized that the tragic resurgence of violence in both states reflects the government’s disregard for public safety. “What’s alarming is not just the bloodshed but that Nigerians seem surprised by Tinubu’s inaction. It’s evident that this administration prioritizes electoral victories over effective governance. A president’s foremost duty is securing the nation,” Adebayo declared. Calling for urgent action, he insisted that President Tinubu must revamp Nigeria’s deteriorating security framework to safeguard lives. He warned that continued complacency would lead to further national instability. “We must stop treating security as a political game. What’s happening in Plateau and Benue is tragic, and the president needs to address it with a serious mindset,” he added. In a related statement, Lagos State SDP Chairman, Hon. Femi Olaniyi Ferrari, echoed Adebayo’s sentiments. He urged Nigerians to embrace the SDP as a viable alternative for national transformation, lamenting that the promised “change” had only led to disappointment and suffering. Meanwhile, in Plateau State, a significant protest was held by Christian leaders, including the state CAN Chairman, Rev. Polycarp Lubo. The demonstrators marched in opposition to the recent mass killings in Bokkos and Bassa LGAs, where over 100 individuals lost their lives in under two weeks. Similarly, Benue State Governor, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, raised concerns about the state being under siege by violent armed herders, stressing that entire communities are being displaced. These developments raise deep questions about Nigeria’s national security priorities and underscore the urgency for comprehensive reforms.

Donald Trump Jr has strongly condemned a reported second leak involving a private Signal chatroom where sensitive U.S. military strategies were allegedly discussed. The revelations have intensified scrutiny over the ongoing turmoil within the Pentagon. In a pointed reaction shared on X, Trump Jr denounced the individuals involved in the leak, saying: “This guy is not America First. I’ve heard for years he works tirelessly to undermine my father’s mission. That ends today.” Leaked Military Operations in Private Signal Chat The controversy follows a report from The New York Times which alleged that U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth created a second Signal group to privately share classified details about an airstrike operation targeting Yemeni Houthi rebels. According to the article, the chat included Hegseth’s wife, brother, and several other non-officials — raising serious concerns about operational security breaches. Information shared in the chat reportedly included flight schedules of F/A-18 Hornet fighter jets, which were instrumental in executing the military strikes. The data was also allegedly shared with another Signal group run by Mike Waltz, the national security adviser. Read the original New York Times coverage here. Former Pentagon Official Sounds the Alarm Earlier, former Pentagon spokesperson John Ullyot expressed deep concern over the state of affairs within the defense department. In an opinion piece published by Politico, Ullyot described the Pentagon’s situation as a “full-blown meltdown,” attributing it to internal power struggles, staff dismissals, and leaks of high-level operational plans. “The dysfunction is now a major distraction for the president, who deserves better leadership,” Ullyot wrote. He also hinted that Secretary Pete Hegseth, at 44 years old, may soon be forced to resign if the crisis continues. Growing Pressure on Pentagon Leadership The emerging scandal comes amid calls for better accountability and stricter operational protocols within the Department of Defense. Political analysts suggest that these leaks could affect national security and may further destabilize public confidence in military leadership.

In a major policy shift, China has suspended all new investments in United States private equity funds, particularly those managed by American firms. This strategic decision was confirmed by a recent report from the Financial Times, signaling a deepening economic standoff between the two global superpowers. This latest development follows intensifying trade disputes between the US and China. Over the past month, the Trump administration has imposed tariffs as high as 145% on a wide range of Chinese products, triggering immediate retaliatory measures from Beijing, which include tariffs of up to 125% on American goods. State-Backed Funds Back Off The move primarily involves Chinese state-backed funds—key players in global investment—who have ceased funding US-based private equity ventures. Not only have these funds paused their capital commitments, but many are now requesting exclusion from deals involving US interests, even when the lead investors are non-American. Why the Shift? This decision comes in response to Beijing’s directive aimed at protecting national economic interests amid ongoing tariff escalations. By limiting exposure to the US financial sector, China aims to reduce reliance on American capital markets and strengthen domestic investment channels. Earlier this month, China formally restricted local firms from investing in the United States, a move seen as retaliation against Washington’s economic policies. These actions underscore the fragile and confrontational nature of current US-China relations. Economic Consequences Analysts warn that this withdrawal could significantly impact US private equity firms, many of which have relied on capital inflows from Chinese investors. The change is expected to tighten funding opportunities and may lead to increased volatility in private investment markets. For a deeper understanding of US-China trade dynamics, read this detailed analysis from Bloomberg. What This Means for Global Investors This policy shift may reshape global investment strategies, forcing fund managers to diversify their sources of capital. It also emphasizes the geopolitical risks associated with cross-border investments, especially amid unstable diplomatic relations.

The Vatican has officially released the final testament of Pope Francis, marking a historical moment for the Catholic Church and faithful across the globe. As confirmed by LMSINT MEDIA, the Catholic world was enveloped in mourning on Monday after news broke of Pope Francis’ passing at the age of 88. Born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in Argentina, Pope Francis made history on March 13, 2013, when he became the first Latin American Pope and spiritual leader of over 1.3 billion Catholics. His final Will, now publicly available, reflects his enduring humility and lifelong devotion to peace. The Will, titled “Testament of the Holy Father Francis”, is dated June 29, 2022, and was published through the official Holy See website. In it, Pope Francis expresses his desire for a modest burial within the Papal Basilica of Saint Mary Major, a sacred site he frequently visited during his Apostolic missions. According to his instructions: “My tomb shall be prepared in the side nave between the Pauline Chapel and the Sforza Chapel. It should be embedded in the ground, without elaborate decoration, marked only with the name: Franciscus.” Pope Francis further noted that the burial expenses would be funded by a private donor, a detail already coordinated through Monsignor Rolandas Makrickas, the Extraordinary Commissioner of the Liberian Chapter. In a deeply moving segment of his testament, the Pope offered the suffering of his final years to God, praying “for peace across nations and unity among mankind.” This message comes at a time when the world continues to seek direction and compassion in the face of adversity. His last words are not only a spiritual guide but a call to humanity to pursue global brotherhood and healing. For those who wish to read the complete testament, it remains publicly accessible via the Holy See Press Office here.

In a decisive move to safeguard commuters and restore structural integrity, the Federal Government of Nigeria has announced the complete closure of the Ijora Bridge in Lagos starting April 27, 2025. This announcement comes as part of an intensified effort to conduct critical structural maintenance on the aging infrastructure, which serves as a strategic link between Ijora Causeway and the Apapa axis. During a field inspection on Monday, Mrs. Olukorede Kesha, the Federal Controller of Works in Lagos State, emphasized the necessity of the project. According to a report by NAN, Kesha confirmed that the current phase of work involves lifting the bridge deck to replace around 50 worn-out bearings across three vital sections of the bridge. “The bridge has been under rehabilitation in multiple phases. We’re now at the final and most delicate stage where we must lift the entire deck to replace the compromised support bearings,” she explained. The Ijora Bridge is a crucial route leading to Apapa, which houses two of Nigeria’s busiest seaports — the Apapa and Tincan Island Ports. This infrastructure supports thousands of daily commuters and heavy-duty vehicles that facilitate major imports and exports. Mrs. Kesha acknowledged the inconveniences the closure might pose to motorists and logistics companies, but she urged patience and cooperation, noting that the closure is time-sensitive and absolutely necessary for public safety. “The bridge is not on the verge of collapse, but there are significant vibrations felt while driving over it. That’s a clear indication that the spring-like bearings underneath have severely degraded,” she added. Impact and Traffic Advisory Commuters heading towards Apapa and Lagos Island are advised to use alternative routes during the repair period. Traffic authorities will be deploying additional personnel to manage diversions and minimize congestion during peak hours. Related Infrastructure Update This major closure echoes previous government-led infrastructure efforts across Lagos, including the Third Mainland Bridge maintenance project in 2024, which also aimed at long-term safety improvements.

Conclusion With this full bridge closure, the Nigerian government signals its ongoing commitment to revitalizing essential transport infrastructure in Lagos. While the temporary disruption may cause delays, the long-term benefits of a safer and more reliable bridge system are invaluable.

In a strategic and somewhat surprising political move, former President Donald J. Trump has extended his endorsement to two Republican contenders for the 2026 Arizona gubernatorial race — Karrin Taylor Robson, a prominent Arizona businesswoman, and Representative Andy Biggs, a sitting member of the U.S. House. The dual endorsement was revealed on Truth Social, Trump’s social media platform, where he praised both candidates as “fantastic” and “champions” of conservative values. “I like Karrin Taylor Robson of Arizona a lot, and when she asked me to endorse her, with nobody else running, I endorsed her and was happy to do so,” Trump stated.“When Andy Biggs decided to run for Governor, quite unexpectedly, I had a problem — two fantastic candidates… it is therefore my great honor to give my complete and total endorsement to both.” This unprecedented gesture reflects Trump’s ongoing influence within the Republican party, especially in key battleground states like Arizona. Karrin Taylor Robson’s Early Start Robson, a well-known business leader and former member of the Arizona Board of Regents, officially declared her candidacy in February 2024. Her campaign has emphasized economic development, secure borders, and education reforms — themes that align closely with Trump-era policies.She previously ran in the 2022 GOP primary and has remained active in Arizona’s conservative political circles. Read more about Karrin Taylor Robson’s political career on AZ Central Andy Biggs Enters the Fray Congressman Andy Biggs, representing Arizona’s 5th district, formally joined the race after filing a statement of interest in January 2024. Known for his staunch support of Trump and America First policies, Biggs has consistently advocated for strict border enforcement and government transparency. His entry into the gubernatorial contest has injected fresh energy into the Republican race and added complexity to Trump’s influence over the state’s conservative base. What This Means for Arizona’s 2026 GOP Primary Trump’s support for both candidates underscores his desire to keep Trumpism alive regardless of who wins the primary. Political analysts believe that this endorsement could split the conservative vote, making the race even more competitive. This development also reflects broader shifts within the Republican Party in Arizona, which has seen sharp internal divisions in recent years.

Efforts to resolve the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine are intensifying as diplomatic representatives from Ukraine, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France are set to convene in London this week. The high-level diplomatic mission, led by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s delegation, will build upon recent discussions held in Paris, where international leaders explored avenues to bring the war to an end. The Paris meeting last week featured key stakeholders from NATO-aligned countries, including the United States Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, who reportedly unveiled a comprehensive peace plan aimed at halting hostilities in Eastern Europe. According to Zelenskyy, the main goal of the London dialogue is “to demand an unconditional ceasefire,” stating clearly on Monday that this should serve as the foundation for any forthcoming peace agreement. “We are prepared to advance these discussions with full commitment,” he added, underscoring Ukraine’s willingness to seek a resolution. Russia Signals Openness to Peace But Fighting Resumes Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed that combat operations in Ukraine had resumed after the Easter truce, although he emphasized that Moscow remains receptive to peaceful negotiations—provided that Kyiv shows equal intent. The Easter ceasefire, which had been unilaterally declared by the Kremlin, was reportedly violated, with both Russia and Ukraine accusing each other of launching multiple strikes despite the temporary truce. These developments have sparked global concern, with observers warning that a prolonged stalemate may undermine any diplomatic progress. For verified information on ongoing peace efforts, read this update from the BBC – a reputable source in global conflict coverage. Related Post: Understanding the Timeline of the Ukraine-Russia Conflict Conclusion As negotiations progress in London, the world watches closely, hopeful that diplomatic strategies led by Ukraine and its Western allies will pave the way toward lasting peace.

Several fuel stations in Abuja have halted operations following the Dangote Refinery’s decision to slash the ex-depot price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) to ₦835 per litre. This development, which began affecting retailers from Tuesday, April 16, 2025, has significantly disrupted sales activities for independent marketers across the capital city. According to LMSINT MEDIA, filling stations along major routes like the Kubwa Expressway, including MRS outlets, have remained shut for over five days due to the pricing changes. Marketers Struggle with Old Stock Losses An employee at one of the MRS filling stations, who requested anonymity, revealed that the recent price adjustment by Dangote Refinery has created substantial losses for retailers with older, higher-priced fuel inventory. “The fuel in stock was purchased before Dangote reduced prices. Selling at the new rate would mean heavy losses for us,” he said. Another staff member clarified that the station’s temporary shutdown was also due to maintenance activities and that the outlet is expected to resume operations on Tuesday, dispensing petrol at ₦910 per litre. Disruption Spreads to Other Retailers Other petrol marketing partners of the refinery—including Ardova, AP, and Optima—have reportedly adjusted their pump prices to between ₦910 and ₦920 per litre as of Monday, April 21, 2025, in Abuja and surrounding areas. Industry Leaders Raise Concerns Over Price Instability In a conversation with LMSINT MEDIA, Billy Gillis-Harry, President of the Petroleum Retailers Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PROOAN), criticized the frequent price changes, stating that such volatility destabilizes the petroleum market and erodes retailers’ financial viability. “Fluctuations in petrol prices, especially without proper communication or justification, negatively affect businesses and consumer confidence,” he explained. He reiterated his earlier advocacy for a six-month fuel price stability framework to mitigate uncertainty in the downstream oil sector. Older Stocks, Higher Losses Backing Gillis-Harry’s stance, Chinedu Ukadike, spokesperson for the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), previously warned that marketers with existing fuel stock could face billions of naira in losses due to Dangote’s back-to-back price reductions. Just last week, the $20 billion Dangote Refinery made its second price cut, reducing the pump price from ₦865 to ₦835 per litre—a total drop of ₦45 within a short span. NNPC Reacts as Global Oil Prices Fall In response, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) also slashed its retail price in Abuja to ₦935 per litre, adjusting to the competitive pricing triggered by Dangote’s move. This change follows a decline in global crude oil prices, currently hovering around $66 per barrel, and aligns with the federal government’s strategy to sustain the naira-for-crude deal with domestic refiners. At present, fuel prices across Nigeria range between ₦890 and ₦950 per litre, depending on the region.

In a global wave of mourning, heartfelt tributes have poured in following the passing of Pope Francis, who died peacefully at his residence in Rome on Easter Monday at the age of 88. His enduring message of unity, service, and compassion leaves a lasting legacy for generations to come. Among the most prominent figures who expressed their condolences were former U.S. Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Posting on Truth Social, Donald Trump shared a brief yet solemn tribute: “Rest in Peace Pope Francis! May God Bless him and all who loved him.” Meanwhile, President Joe Biden offered a more extensive tribute on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting the profound impact Pope Francis had on global peace, humanitarian efforts, and climate action. Biden described the late pontiff as “one of the most consequential leaders of our time.” “Jill and I are deeply saddened by the news of His Holiness Pope Francis’ passing. His unwavering mission to serve the poor and his outreach to people of all faiths distinguished him from all who came before. Throughout his life — from his early days in Argentina to his transformative role in the Vatican — he championed equity, advocated for the environment, and gave hope to the marginalized,” Biden noted. Pope Francis’ tenure as the head of the Catholic Church was defined by a commitment to interfaith unity, climate responsibility, and social justice. He was widely recognized for giving a voice to the voiceless, urging action against poverty, and encouraging acceptance and love across all boundaries. As the world reflects on his life, Pope Francis is being celebrated not only as a religious leader but as a global symbol of faith, humility, and love for humanity — truly, The People’s Pope.
