ABUJA – Lere Olayinka, the Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has advised Imo Ugochinyere, a House of Representatives member representing Ideato North and South Federal Constituency in Imo State, to seek another political benefactor, suggesting that his financial pipeline from Rivers State has been severed. During a press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday, Ugochinyere accused Wike of directing his loyalists in the Rivers State House of Assembly to cause instability in the state. However, Olayinka dismissed these claims, asserting that the lawmaker was merely lamenting over lost financial incentives previously derived from Rivers State. Wike’s Aide Labels Ugochinyere as a ‘Political Hushpuppi’ Olayinka, in a statement issued on Wednesday, ridiculed Ugochinyere’s grievances, likening them to a loss of illicit financial benefits. He accused the lawmaker of exploiting fraudulent local government structures through his political party, the Action Peoples Party (APP), in Rivers State, emphasizing that the era of such practices had ended. Responding to Ugochinyere’s remarks on a live television program, Olayinka dismissed the idea of a strong opposition faction in the National Assembly. He challenged Ugochinyere to publicly name the House of Representatives members aligned with his Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), suggesting that the coalition lacks credibility. Ugochinyere’s Failed Predictions and Political Reality Olayinka recalled Ugochinyere’s past assertion that Martins Amaewhule, the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, would never access the state budget. He mocked the lawmaker’s confidence, highlighting that despite his claims, the Assembly members have regained their authority. According to Olayinka, as Governor Siminalayi Fubara faces political difficulties, Ugochinyere’s financial privileges have dwindled, which explains his frustration. He further criticized Fubara for allegedly disregarding procedural governance, questioning why the governor visited the House of Assembly without an official invitation. Olayinka argued that a formal request should have been submitted to the Speaker before any budget presentation, rather than resorting to public spectacle. “The governor is merely seeking social media attention,” Olayinka remarked. “With advisers like Ugochinyere, one might as well carry the state budget on their head to Rumuokoro Market and deliver it to the Speaker’s wife.” Read more on Nigerian politics READ ALSO: Follow the LMSINT MEDIA channel on WhatsApp: Join Our WhatsApp Group Hear: Chat on WhatsApp Join our Telegram Channel
A coalition of opposition lawmakers has sounded the alarm over an alleged scheme by pro-Wike legislators to obstruct the upcoming local government elections in Rivers State. According to reports, these lawmakers are allegedly using questionable legislative tactics and court injunctions to interfere with the electoral process. Opposition Lawmakers Expose Alleged Election Disruption Plot Speaking during a press briefing in Abuja, Rep. Ikenga Ugochinyere (PDP – Imo State) accused lawmakers aligned with the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, of making deliberate attempts to stall the electoral process and hinder the implementation of the 2025 Rivers State budget, despite a Supreme Court ruling upholding the process. Ugochinyere alleged that these legislators are working towards amending the Local Government Administration Law to reinstate former local government chairmen whose tenure has ended. “Their goal is clear—to prevent the elections from happening so that these former LGA chairmen can retain their positions beyond their lawful tenure. However, we want to assure the people of Rivers State that the elections will proceed as scheduled by the electoral commission. No illegal amendment will stop the process.” The opposition further revealed that pro-Wike lawmakers were allegedly planning to secure a court order to halt the elections, mirroring previous legal obstructions used to destabilize governance in the state. Rivers State Governance at Risk Due to Budget Boycott Ugochinyere also accused these lawmakers of deliberately avoiding the 2025 budget presentation, thereby crippling governance. “The Governor invited the House of Assembly members for discussions—something Wike himself would never do. Despite this, they boycotted the meeting and ignored his calls. The Speaker refused to respond, further proving that their main agenda is to create instability and hardship for the people of Rivers State.” Despite these obstacles, he commended Governor Siminalayi Fubara for his efforts to uphold the Supreme Court ruling and maintain peace. According to him, Fubara has remained committed to governance and reconciliation despite ongoing political provocations. Accusations Against Wike and the Fight to Protect Democracy The lawmakers accused Wike of attempting to maintain political dominance over Rivers State rather than prioritizing development and stability. “Wike is not interested in peace or progress; his main concern is control. Since he is no longer in charge, he wants to halt all progress. The crisis surrounding local government elections and the Assembly conflicts are all part of his broader strategy to hold the state hostage.” The opposition vowed that the people of Rivers State would resist any anti-democratic actions aimed at destabilizing the state. They urged citizens to stay vigilant and protect democratic institutions. “We are nearing the resolution of this crisis, which is why certain political actors are becoming more desperate. However, the people are standing firm. Our party leaders, governors, and the National Working Committee are working together to end this political chaos. Rivers State will not be destabilized.” The lawmakers reaffirmed their unwavering support for Governor Fubara and urged the opposition to adhere to democratic principles rather than resorting to unconstitutional maneuvers.

Dr. Bashir Lamido, the pioneer leader of Arewa Summit International, has dismissed the possibility of President Bola Tinubu losing his bid for re-election in 2027. According to him, Tinubu’s chances of victory remain solid due to the influential political figures backing his campaign. During a media briefing at the Abuja Expo and Ruhe Global Resources International Education Fair, Lamido highlighted the unwavering support of key politicians, including Abdul’aziz Yari, Orji Uzor Kalu, Abdullahi Ganduje, and James Ibori. He emphasized that their alignment with Tinubu significantly weakens the opposition, ensuring a stronghold for the All Progressives Congress (APC). Opposition Coalition Faces Internal Struggles Lamido questioned the capability of the opposition to present a unified front against Tinubu in the 2027 election. He pointed out the internal crises within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP), raising doubts about their ability to form a cohesive coalition. He further inquired whether the Social Democratic Party (SDP) has the potential to spearhead an effective alliance. “Who will emerge as the opposition’s candidate? Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Nasir El-Rufai, Yemi Osinbajo, Rotimi Amaechi, or Bukola Saraki? Each of them harbors presidential ambitions, making consensus difficult,” Lamido observed. Tinubu’s Strategic Alliances Ensure Victory According to Lamido, President Tinubu has strategically strengthened his alliances. He dismissed speculation that key figures like Yari, Kalu, and Ibori might defect to the opposition, asserting that they remain committed to Tinubu. He also referenced efforts by Nasir El-Rufai to create division between Tinubu and Ganduje, which ultimately failed. “Now, these leaders have solidified their support for Tinubu. They are all capable of running for president themselves, yet they stand firmly behind him. This level of unity gives Tinubu a significant advantage,” Lamido added. Economic Reforms and Public Hardship While acknowledging economic hardships resulting from Tinubu’s policies, Lamido argued that these difficulties are temporary. He reassured that in the long term, the economic restructuring will yield positive results, stabilizing Nigeria’s economy. He also noted that Tinubu’s allies are already working on grassroots mobilization, with Yari focusing on the North and Kalu extending his influence beyond the South. According to Lamido, their coordinated efforts demonstrate a well-structured plan for ensuring Tinubu’s victory in 2027. Conclusion With the backing of influential political figures and a strategic campaign approach, President Bola Tinubu’s path to re-election appears secure. As opposition parties struggle with internal discord, APC’s strong alliances and grassroots mobilization further cement Tinubu’s chances of retaining power in 2027.

ABUJA – President Bola Tinubu held a closed-door meeting on Wednesday with the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, and other lawmakers at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. Meeting Details and Obasa’s Silence Following the high-profile discussion, Obasa refused to address journalists who had been waiting to gather insights about the meeting’s outcome. Obasa arrived separately at approximately 2:50 PM and was escorted directly to the President’s office. His colleagues, who arrived earlier in two coaster buses, were led through the forecourt for the session with Tinubu. Although the exact agenda was not publicly disclosed, sources suggest that the discussion centered on the recent leadership turmoil within the Lagos State House of Assembly. Lawmakers Show Solidarity with Tinubu After emerging from the meeting at around 4:30 PM, the lawmakers were heard chanting the popular political slogan, “On your mandate, we shall stand.” This gesture is widely interpreted as a demonstration of their allegiance to President Tinubu. The chant lasted for nearly five minutes, resonating throughout the forecourt as the legislators boarded their waiting buses. Speaker Obasa and Faleke Decline to Speak Despite journalists’ attempts to obtain comments, Speaker Obasa refrained from making any statements. He was accompanied by House of Representatives member Rt. Hon. James Faleke, who briefly remarked, “It went well,” when asked about the meeting. Speculations Over Apology to Obasa Unconfirmed reports indicate that some lawmakers might have extended an apology to Obasa following his recent impeachment. It is worth recalling that Speaker Obasa was removed from office by some of his colleagues but was reinstated on March 3, 2025, after intervention from influential political stakeholders, including the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Lagos State Governing Advisory Council (GAC).

Crypto Market Stabilizes as Bitcoin Crosses $82K The cryptocurrency market is witnessing a significant recovery after a volatile start to the week, adding nearly $89 billion to its total valuation. The global crypto market cap has now reached $2.61 trillion, signaling renewed investor confidence. Bitcoin has reclaimed the $80,000 level, and analysts suggest that a decisive breakout above $82,761 could pave the way for a rally toward $85,000. Strong market sentiment and reduced economic uncertainty are driving this rebound. Key Factors Behind the Market Recovery 1. Geopolitical and Economic Developments Several global events have contributed to the market’s turnaround: “People need to be patient in waiting to see what President Trump was planning for the economy.” Additionally, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reassured investors: “The recent market volatility was a transitory period, not a trend or a long-term one.” Recent Crypto Liquidations and Market Volatility Earlier in the week, the cryptocurrency market faced a sharp decline, with $1 billion in liquidations as Bitcoin and Ethereum hit monthly lows. However, stability has returned, and in the past 24 hours, total liquidations stood at $384.4 million—including $138.2 million from long positions and $246.2 million from short positions. Analyst Outlook: Caution Amid Optimism Despite the current uptrend, market analysts remain cautiously optimistic. While easing geopolitical risks and trade improvements have contributed to the rally, other factors could still affect market performance: Conclusion: What’s Next for Bitcoin? The next few weeks will be crucial in determining whether Bitcoin and the broader crypto market sustain their gains or face another round of volatility. Analysts will closely monitor economic indicators, regulatory updates, and institutional investment trends. For now, Bitcoin’s surge past $82,000 is a strong signal of recovery, but traders should remain vigilant as external factors continue to shape the market’s trajectory.

Egyptian football giants and reigning African champions, Al Ahly, have made headlines after refusing to play against their arch-rivals, Zamalek, in a highly anticipated Egyptian Premier League match. The scheduled game, set for 9:30 PM (1930 GMT) at Cairo Stadium, was abandoned when Al Ahly’s squad chose to redirect their bus to their training ground instead of heading to the stadium, as reported by local media. The club’s management had previously declared that they would not participate unless foreign referees were assigned to officiate the match. Al Ahly officials argue that the current standard of domestic refereeing is causing ongoing controversies and unfair decisions, leading to what they describe as “constant crises” affecting the league’s integrity. This unexpected boycott has sparked debates within Egyptian football, raising questions about the credibility of officiating and the future of league matches involving high-stakes rivalries. Fans and analysts alike are watching closely to see how the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) and relevant authorities will respond to Al Ahly’s stance on the matter.

A Nigerian woman, June Ashimola, who was falsely declared dead, has made a surprising court appearance via videolink from Nigeria to stop a convicted fraudster from illegally taking ownership of her £350,000 home in the United Kingdom. The Shocking Fraud Attempt Ashimola was reported dead in February 2019 while in Nigeria, sparking a prolonged legal dispute over her estate. However, in a dramatic turn, she presented herself before High Court Judge John Linwood, confirming she was alive and had been the victim of an elaborate scam. How the Fraud Unfolded Court documents revealed that Ashimola had been in Nigeria since 2018. In 2022, Power of Attorney over her estate was granted to Ms. Ruth Samuel, representing Bakare Lasisi, who falsely claimed to have married Ashimola in 1993. However, the judge ruled that Lasisi did not exist, and the entire claim was fraudulent. A counterfeit death certificate was presented as evidence to the High Court, falsely stating that Ashimola had passed away. Further allegations claimed that any recent sightings of her were merely an impersonation. Judge Exposes the Fraud Scheme In court, Ashimola denied all claims regarding her alleged death, calling the documents “fraudulent” and confirming that her UK property in Woolwich, Southeast London, was unlawfully targeted. Judge Linwood, referencing the case, remarked, “This is an unusual probate claim, as the deceased insists she is very much alive.” Investigations revealed that Tony Ashikodi, a convicted fraudster who previously served three years in prison for deception, had orchestrated the scam. The court noted that Ashikodi had been attempting to gain control of Ashimola’s property for years. One of the most striking findings was the complete nonexistence of Lasisi, despite multiple fraudulent emails supposedly sent in his name. Court Ruling and Legal Consequences After reviewing the evidence, including passport photographs proving Ashimola’s identity, the court ruled that: Financial Burden and Legal Costs The court disclosed that both parties had already incurred legal expenses exceeding £150,000, a sum that could surpass the equity value of the property. This case highlights the extreme lengths fraudsters go to in order to claim assets illegally. It also underscores the importance of legal due diligence in property ownership disputes.

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has successfully neutralized a notorious bandit, Salisu Mohammed, widely known as Dogo Saleh. This milestone was achieved through a strategic counter-kidnapping operation aimed at dismantling a criminal syndicate responsible for several violent crimes in the region. Major Victory Against Banditry in the FCT According to police reports, Dogo Saleh’s gang had been responsible for numerous kidnappings and armed attacks along the Kaduna–Lokoja–Enugu highway and within the FCT. His elimination marks a significant breakthrough in the ongoing fight against organized crime. Acting on verified intelligence, the FCT Anti-Kidnapping Unit executed a well-coordinated mission on March 3, 2025. The operation focused on intercepting the movement of bandits into the FCT. During the mission, police operatives successfully tracked and apprehended Saleh at Gidan Abe Forest while he attempted to infiltrate Bwari Area Council. The 21-year-old Fulani suspect, originally from Baban Saural village in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State, had been a key hitman for top bandit leaders operating in Rijana Forest. Seized Weapons and Cash From Criminal Activities Upon his capture, Saleh attempted to escape but was subdued. The police recovered: Extensive Criminal History Uncovered Further investigations linked Saleh to multiple high-profile kidnappings and violent attacks: Elimination of Key Gang Members Saleh’s gang, led by the infamous Kanaboro, included several high-profile criminals, some of whom were recently neutralized: The gang operated under the authority of Dogo Gide, a known terrorist, and had affiliations with the Ansaru terrorist group, which supplied them with arms and ammunition. Final Operation and Fatal Crossfire On March 4, 2025, leveraging intelligence from the arrested suspect, operatives launched a follow-up operation targeting the gang’s stronghold in Kwasau Forest, Kagarko LGA, Kaduna State. Upon arrival, the police team faced an ambush from armed bandits attempting to rescue Saleh. A fierce gun battle ensued, forcing the criminals to retreat with severe gunshot wounds. During the crossfire, Saleh sustained fatal injuries inflicted by his own gang. He was rushed to Kubwa General Hospital, where he was confirmed dead.

The Federal High Court in Abuja has ruled against a lawsuit aiming to prevent the arrest and prosecution of commercial sex workers (CSWs) in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The legal action sought to restrain the Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike, and the Abuja Environmental Protection Board (AEPB) from carrying out enforcement measures against individuals suspected of engaging in sex work. Court Ruling on the Case Justice James Omotosho, who presided over the case, dismissed the plaintiff’s application on the grounds that it lacked competence under the Fundamental Rights (Enforcement Procedure) Rules of 2009. The court further noted that even if the case had been properly filed, the requested reliefs were not legally sustainable. The case was initiated by the Incorporated Trustee of Lawyers Alert Initiative for Protecting the Rights of Children, Women, and the Indigent. The group filed the lawsuit against multiple respondents, including the AEPB, the FCT Minister, the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), and the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF). Legal Arguments Presented The plaintiffs raised concerns over the AEPB’s authority under Section 6 of the AEPB Act, 1997. They questioned whether the board had the legal mandate to arrest, detain, and prosecute women suspected of engaging in sex work. Additionally, they contended that referring to these women as “articles” or “goods for purchase” in legal charges was discriminatory and in violation of Section 42 of the Nigerian Constitution. The plaintiff sought an injunction to prevent the AEPB from further harassing or arresting women under the pretext of enforcing environmental laws. However, the defendants, represented by legal counsel Betty Umegbulem, argued that the case lacked merit and should be dismissed. Court’s Final Judgment Justice Omotosho examined the legal framework surrounding the matter, emphasizing that prostitution is considered an offense under Nigerian law, particularly under the Penal Code Act. The court ruled that fundamental rights, while important, are not absolute and may be legally restricted in certain circumstances, such as law enforcement activities. The court also highlighted that the plaintiff failed to demonstrate any specific violations of fundamental rights and could not legally represent individuals who had not personally come forward to file claims. Consequently, the case was dismissed for lacking legal merit. Legal and Social Implications This ruling reaffirms the position of Nigerian law regarding prostitution and reinforces the government’s authority to enforce existing legal provisions. The decision also sets a precedent for future cases involving claims of discrimination in law enforcement procedures.

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has urged members of the National Assembly to prioritize governance and the well-being of Nigerians over personal disputes that could foster division and undermine legislative integrity. This statement follows a recent confrontation in the Senate between Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of Kogi Central over allegations of misconduct. NANS emphasized that lawmakers should remain committed to enacting policies that drive economic progress and improve citizens’ quality of life. NANS’ Call for Legislative Decorum In a statement jointly signed by NANS National President, Comrade Oladoja Olushola, and National Public Relations Officer, Comrade Samson Adeyemi, the student body stressed the importance of maintaining decorum within the Senate. “The increasing trend of personal attacks within the Senate is troubling, especially when the country is grappling with economic challenges such as inflation, high living costs, and social instability,” the statement read. NANS reminded senators that their primary duty is to pass impactful legislation that fosters economic stability, social cohesion, and national unity. The association warned that continuous political disputes could erode public trust in the legislative process and expose the country’s institutions to ridicule on the international stage. Preserving Legislative Integrity While NANS reaffirmed its confidence in the leadership of Senate President Godswill Akpabio, it underscored the need for all senators to uphold the dignity of their office. “As representatives of the people, lawmakers must adhere to ethical standards and ensure that their actions align with the nation’s best interests. Personal grievances should not overshadow pressing national concerns,” the statement added. Given the legal proceedings surrounding the current dispute, NANS advised all parties to refrain from inflammatory comments that could jeopardize peace and national stability. The organization further recommended disciplinary action against any senator found guilty of misconduct after due legal processes. The Need for Legislative-Executive Collaboration NANS also called on the Senate President to strengthen cooperation between the National Assembly and the Presidency under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. According to the association, effective governance requires synergy among government institutions to ensure that the benefits of democracy reach the Nigerian people. “True leadership is tested in turbulent times. We encourage the Senate to rise above these challenges and focus on governance,” NANS asserted. Conclusion: Advocating for Stability and Governance As key stakeholders in Nigeria’s future, students will not remain passive while the integrity of political institutions is at risk. NANS reiterated its commitment to promoting accountability, governance, and national unity. “We urge all lawmakers to prioritize national interest, de-escalate tensions, and work toward solutions that benefit the entire country. Nigerians deserve a functional government, and all leaders must be committed to making that a reality.” For further insights into Nigeria’s legislative proceedings, visit Vanguard News for verified updates.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof (Proverbs 18:21). God didn’t give us His Word just so we agree with it; it was given to us to use. The Bible tells us that in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. How did He do it? It was with words. He spoke creation into existence. God’s Word is God’s creative material. When He says something, it becomes; whatever He says manifests. And He created us to look like Him and function like Him. The most important part of your life is your ability to use words. Maybe you didn’t know it, but words define your life. Words define your value. Words define your personality.You are no better or greater than your words. Your life is the expression, manifestation, and reflection of your words. It doesn’t take long to know who a person is; all they have to do is speak for a few minutes. Your words locate you; they reveal where you are; they shape your life. Consider how Jesus used words. His words carried power, wisdom and authority. He changed circumstances and transformed lives with words. Crowds gathered, thousands of people thronged Him, just to hear Him speak. When He calmed the storm, the disciples were astonished and said, “…What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!” (Matthew 8:27). His authority over nature left them in awe, as they witnessed His power to command the elements with words. When He commanded demons to come out, the people said in amazement, “…with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out” (Luke 4:36). The Pharisees talked about demons, but Jesus spoke to the demons with authority. He rehearsed to us how to use words. He said in Mark 11:23, “you shall have what you say.” So be a master of words. Have faith in your words, for the Word of God in your mouth is God talking; it’ll prevail and produce what it talks about. Hallelujah! PRAYERDear Father, I thank you for the power of your Word in my life. My words are filled with faith and life, and they shape my destiny. I speak health, prosperity and victory, and I live in alignment with your Word, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! 6 And the tongue [is] a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. || || Matthew 12:36-37But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. || READ ALSO: DAILY AFFIRMATIONS: I have the very life and nature of God because I am born again.
