The North-Central All Progressives Congress (APC) Forum has strongly cautioned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu against bowing to increasing pressure to drop Vice President Kashim Shettima ahead of the 2027 presidential election. In a public statement delivered in Abuja by its chairman, Alhaji Saleh Zazzaga, the Forum emphasized that President Tinubu would stand the risk of losing nearly 80 percent of northern Muslim votes if he yields to demands to abandon the Muslim-Muslim ticket, which secured him victory in the 2023 elections. Growing Pressure on Tinubu to Drop Shettima As the 2027 elections draw closer, President Tinubu is facing mounting pressure from several groups and political stakeholders calling on him to consider a change in his running mate. Many of these voices argue that the Muslim-Muslim ticket, which worked in 2023, may no longer resonate with Nigerians in 2027. On Channels Television’s Politics Today, the Northern Ethnic Nationality Forum, led by Dominic Alancha, openly warned against repeating the same ticket. Alancha highlighted that the APC lost states like Nasarawa, Plateau, and even the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in 2023 due to dissatisfaction with the Muslim-Muslim strategy. He cautioned that repeating this approach could further erode APC’s popularity, especially in the Middle Belt region. North-Central APC Forum’s Rebuttal However, countering Alancha’s position, the North-Central APC Forum firmly maintained that the Muslim-Muslim ticket was never about religious marginalization but rather an electoral strategy. The Forum stressed that Christians in the Middle Belt remain significantly represented in Tinubu’s government with notable figures like: According to the Forum, these appointments demonstrate balance and inclusivity, proving that Christians are not sidelined. The Forum further expressed confidence that Tinubu would secure over 90 percent of votes in the North-Central region, pointing out that his performance and achievements in office will speak louder than religious narratives. Forum Urges Tinubu to Maintain “Winning Team” The statement emphasized that dropping Shettima would amount to a “needless risk” and could jeopardize APC’s chances of victory in 2027. “Those who opposed the Muslim-Muslim ticket in 2023 largely supported Peter Obi of the Labour Party. If Obi runs again in 2027, what guarantee exists that they will suddenly abandon him and vote for Tinubu even if Shettima is replaced with a Christian candidate?” the Forum queried. The Forum accused those pushing against Shettima of mischief-making, arguing that their real aim is to weaken Tinubu’s re-election chances. Allegations of Division Within Tinubu’s Support Base Additionally, the Forum alleged that certain individuals claiming to support Tinubu’s re-election are alienating northern Muslim communities while focusing attention on Christians in the region. They warned that this discriminatory strategy could backfire: then President Tinubu risks losing both blocs of votes in 2027. The Forum urged the President to see through what they called a “calculated attempt at sabotage.” Final Warning from the Forum In its closing remarks, the Forum strongly advised Tinubu to “stick with what worked in 2023”. “Changing Vice President Kashim Shettima will bring no electoral benefits. On the contrary, it could cost President Tinubu 80 percent of northern Muslim votes. Even if he replaces Shettima with another northern Muslim, the perception of betrayal will remain, leading to massive voter loss. The only wise path is to maintain the winning formula that secured victory in 2023,” the Forum concluded.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come (1 Timothy 4:8). There’s a phenomenon known as deja vu, the feeling, sense or consciousness that something that’s happening has been experienced or seen before. You might have experienced such a thing at one time or the other; it just lends credence to the fact that man is a spirit. When something happens and you feel like you’ve seen or experienced it before, it’s because your spirit was truly involved in the experience even though you’re not able to tell when. It might have either been through a trance, vision, or even as low as a dream. Many have been trying to explore this, wondering if such experiences are even real. Well, the human spirit does have its own activities and they can happen whether you’re awake or asleep, conscious, unconscious or subconscious. How do you take advantage of that? It’s by training and educating your human spirit through deep study, meditating, and acting on the Word. Your involvement in church, learning God’s Word in your cell and fellowship groups, attending services, and studying Rhapsody of Realities all contribute to the training of your spirit. But you can accelerate the process by deliberately studying God’s Word and putting it to work. James 1:22 & 25 says, “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” “But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” As you act on the Word, your spirit is trained, your understanding is sharpened, and you become more attuned to spiritual realities. CONFESSIONMy spirit is attuned to spiritual realities, being enlightened by God’s Word. I grow in wisdom and walk in greater spiritual awareness. I refuse to be limited by human reasoning, for I function with the mind of Christ. Thank you, heavenly Father, for the light of your Word in my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY1 Corinthians 2:12-14 KJVNow we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned. Joshua 1:8 KJVThis book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. James 1:22-25 KJVBut be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth [therein], he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Newcastle United manager, Eddie Howe, has shared his thoughts on Liverpool’s new striker, Hugo Ekitike, ahead of their Premier League clash at St. James’ Park. Howe believes that the French forward will be a major threat in the Premier League this season and admits he has admired him for years. Speaking during his pre-match press conference before Newcastle’s home tie against Liverpool on Monday, Howe emphasized that Ekitike possesses the qualities to excel in England’s top flight. It is worth recalling that Newcastle were previously linked with a move for Ekitike this summer. He was seen as a potential replacement for Alexander Isak had the Swedish striker left the club. However, the 23-year-old eventually chose to sign for Liverpool from Eintracht Frankfurt in a summer transfer move that attracted widespread attention across Europe. The French striker wasted no time making his mark, as he scored on his debut when Liverpool defeated Bournemouth 4-2 last Friday. Ekitike’s immediate impact means he is now expected to lead the line for the Premier League champions in their highly anticipated clash against Newcastle. Howe, when asked about the young forward, said: “I think there is no doubting that I really like Hugo and have done for a number of years. He is someone we have tracked for a long time. He is intelligent, and I think he’s got a load of qualities that will serve him really well in the Premier League. Our job will be to keep him quiet and try to control him, but certainly, he is going to be a threat this year.” This matchup promises to be an exciting one as Newcastle will be looking to contain a player that their coach has openly admired and once considered bringing to Tyneside

Former Real Madrid defender Rafael Alkorta has issued a strong warning to Vinicius Jr, advising the Brazilian star to tread carefully in his ongoing contract negotiations with club president Florentino Perez. According to Alkorta, mishandling the talks could put Vinicius in a similar position as legendary captain Sergio Ramos, who saw his contract extension offer withdrawn in 2023 despite his incredible legacy at the Santiago Bernabéu. Ramos eventually left Madrid, ending a long and decorated career with the club under controversial circumstances. Alkorta emphasized that Vinicius’ current approach to negotiations is “dangerous,” stressing that attempting to apply too much pressure on Perez rarely ends well. He recalled Ramos’ situation as an example of how even the biggest names can be forced out when disagreements escalate. Speaking to Madrid Universal, Alkorta stated: “Trying to squeeze Florentino Perez can go wrong. Let’s remember what happened with Ramos.” The former defender also pointed out that Vinicius’ performance level has dipped since Carlo Ancelotti decided to reposition him from the left wing into a more central role, to accommodate French superstar Kylian Mbappe. Alkorta explained that the switch has negatively impacted the Brazilian’s natural game: “Since they took him off the left wing, I haven’t seen him well. Playing with Mbappe has cost him.” He further warned that disputes over contracts with Perez can be “poisonous,” noting that although the Madrid president can be warm and supportive, he is also known for making ruthless decisions when it comes to the future of players. Currently, Vinicius’ contract with Real Madrid is set to run until 2027, but discussions about a possible improved deal have been ongoing for several months. Despite his influence and popularity among the Madridistas, Alkorta believes the 24-year-old forward must handle the matter with caution to avoid repeating past mistakes made by others at the club. This situation raises questions about how the LaLiga giants balance loyalty to long-serving stars with the tough business side of football contracts.

A prominent socio-political commentator, Austin Okai, has asserted that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and ex-Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, stand as the biggest threats to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second-term bid in 2027. Okai, who previously contested for the House of Representatives seat under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for Dekina/Bassa Federal Constituency in 2023, explained that former President Goodluck Jonathan does not pose a significant barrier to Tinubu’s reelection since it is highly unlikely he will contest in the forthcoming polls. In an extensive conversation with Daily Post Nigeria, Okai analyzed the future of opposition parties, particularly the PDP and the African Democratic Congress (ADC). He emphasized that both parties should shift their focus to the 2031 presidential race, as winning in 2027 might prove extremely challenging. He also drew comparisons between Tinubu’s administration and that of the late Muhammadu Buhari, especially regarding issues of insecurity. PDP’s Weak Position Going Into 2027 Okai explained that politics in Nigeria is heavily driven by financial power. According to him, when key governors openly endorse the president from another party, such as the APC, funding within the PDP weakens. He pointed to examples like Governor Seyi Makinde and Nyesom Wike, stressing that such endorsements undermine PDP’s strength. He noted that state governors act as the chief returning officers of their parties, meaning that their alignment with Tinubu could significantly shift PDP’s influence. Okai projected that PDP’s comeback may only be feasible in 2031, once seasoned politicians like Aminu Tambuwal and Sule Lamido consolidate a broader coalition. ADC’s Internal Crisis and Potential Role Addressing the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Okai warned that the party must resolve ongoing leadership disputes if it hopes to emerge as a formidable opposition. He referenced the controversial appointment of David Mark as interim National Chairman, despite still being a PDP member at the time, which created legal and technical concerns. He emphasized that the ADC must conduct a legitimate National Convention, properly supervised by INEC, to establish credible leadership. Okai highlighted that Nigerians, particularly in the North, view ADC as an alternative, but any further mismanagement or legal disputes could derail that trust. Atiku, Obi, Jonathan, and the 2027 Calculations On the possible return of Peter Obi to PDP, Okai stated that it would strengthen the party, though internal rifts—such as comments from Babangida Aliyu urging Northerners to allow Tinubu eight years like Buhari—indicate confusion within opposition ranks. He explained that while Atiku Abubakar remains qualified and determined, Obi currently poses the strongest threat to Tinubu, given his rising acceptance across the North and his consistent grassroots activities. According to Okai, if Jonathan chooses not to contest, Obi becomes the frontrunner from the South. Ethnic Politics and National Unity Okai also delved deeply into ethnic politics, warning against divisive narratives that undermine national unity. He reflected on past campaigns against Goodluck Jonathan, including Northern conspiracies that framed him as sympathetic to Boko Haram, which fueled his removal from power. He admitted personal regret over engaging in tribal politics, stressing that Nigeria’s fragile unity, worsening poverty, rising unemployment, and increasing cost of living should push leaders to prioritize inclusiveness over ethnic division. PDP’s Future and Opposition Dynamics According to Okai, the PDP is currently weakened by internal sabotage and compromised leadership, making it less effective as an opposition. He maintained that 2027 is already a lost cause for PDP, and serious rebuilding must start towards 2031. The ADC, if properly structured, could challenge Tinubu in 2027, but only with credible leadership and a unifying candidate, preferably from the South. He maintained that the opposition cannot defeat APC if fragmented, noting that incumbency already guarantees APC about 40% of the votes. Tinubu’s Performance on Insecurity Compared to Buhari On the issue of national security, Okai admitted that Tinubu’s government has shown remarkable improvements compared to Buhari’s era. He cited examples such as the safe travel between Abuja and Kaduna, the arrest of top terrorist leaders like Ansaru’s commander, and ongoing security operations in Kogi State. However, he warned that leaks within security agencies still allow insurgents like Bello Turji to evade capture. Despite this, he acknowledged that Nigerians are safer under Tinubu than they were under Buhari, provided the current momentum is maintained.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 5:23). Some people often use the expression “the subconscious mind” when referring to the human spirit. But for those who think of the metaphysical conceptions of life, the subconscious mind is much more than a state where a person is only partially conscious. Rather, it refers to another side of the unexplored or inexplorable human nature. The truth is, when you analyze their descriptions of the subconscious state, they’re actually referring to the human spirit. In 2 Corinthians 4:16, for example, Paul calls it the inward man: “For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.” The apostle Peter in his first epistle calls it the hidden man of the heart: “But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price” (1 Peter 3:4). Those who lack a proper understanding of the true nature of man refer to the human spirit as the “subconscious mind.” The Bible doesn’t talk about a subconscious mind; rather, it reveals the threefold nature of man—spirit, soul, and body. As you study the Scriptures, you’ll see that on one hand, the spirit and soul are used synonymously, referring to the inward man—the unseen, hidden man within the veil of the body. However, in a more specific sense, the terms spirit and soul are distinct. The spirit refers to the actual inward man, while the soul is a tool of the spirit. The soul is to the spirit what the brain is to the body. The human spirit perceives and interacts with the world through his soul. The soul houses the spiritual senses of the inward man, enabling him to relate to both spiritual and natural realities. In essence, the human spirit is the core of your being—that’s the real you—where God lives. PRAYER*Dear Father, thank you for the understanding of my true nature in Christ. My spirit is alive to you, and through my soul, I express the realities of your divine life within me. I walk in the consciousness of my divine nature, fulfilling your purpose for my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDYProverbs 20:27 KJVThe spirit of man [is] the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly. Job 32:8 KJVBut [there is] a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 KJVAnd the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and [I pray God] your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Former Manchester United star Patrice Evra has made a bold prediction about the future of international football, claiming that the FIFA World Cup final could be contested between Lionel Messi’s Argentina and Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal. According to Evra, this potential clash would represent the ultimate football spectacle, uniting fans across the world to witness what could be the final showdown between two of the greatest players in the sport’s history. Messi and Ronaldo’s Legendary Journey Continues Although both football icons are now in the twilight of their careers, Messi and Ronaldo remain respected as the best players in world football. They currently play outside of Europe, with Messi starring for Inter Miami in the Major League Soccer (MLS) and Ronaldo leading Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League. Messi recently secured his legacy by helping Argentina win the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, cementing his status as one of the game’s all-time legends. On the other hand, Ronaldo is yet to lead Portugal to a World Cup final, despite his numerous achievements in European Championships and club football. A Possible Last Dance at the World Stage All indications suggest that both Messi and Ronaldo are expected to participate in the upcoming FIFA World Cup, scheduled to kick off next summer. For many fans and analysts, this tournament could be the last World Cup appearance for the two icons, marking the end of a legendary rivalry that has spanned nearly two decades. Speaking with Stake.com, Patrice Evra emphasized how monumental such a final would be for football history. “That would be like the last Marvel movie. Everyone would stop to watch,” Evra said.“Two legends, one last dance—everyone would watch.” Messi vs Ronaldo – A Rivalry for the Ages Both players are widely regarded as the greatest of all time (GOATs) in football, with countless records, Ballon d’Or titles, Champions League victories, and individual awards between them. A World Cup final between Portugal and Argentina would be more than a football match—it would be a cultural moment, the ultimate climax to one of the most fascinating rivalries in sports. Football lovers worldwide are already speculating about this possibility, with fans divided over who would emerge victorious if such a dream final becomes reality.

Former Arsenal legend Paul Merson has voiced strong confidence in the club’s chances of securing the English Premier League title if they complete the signing of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace. The highly talented attacking midfielder is reportedly close to making a sensational switch to the Emirates Stadium during the ongoing summer transfer window, in what many fans and pundits are already calling a defining transfer for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal squad. Eze Chooses Arsenal Over Tottenham The England international, who has impressed with his creativity, dribbling, and eye for goal, reportedly turned down interest from Tottenham Hotspur in favor of joining Arsenal. His decision underlines the North London rivalry and highlights Arsenal’s growing appeal under Arteta’s leadership. Adding fuel to speculation, Eze was left out of Crystal Palace’s Europa Conference League squad against Fredrikstad on Thursday, signaling a possible exit from Selhurst Park. Merson on Why Eze is a Perfect Fit for Arsenal Speaking to Sky Sports, Paul Merson hailed Eze as exactly the kind of signing Arsenal need to bridge the final gap in their pursuit of the league title. “Eze is a brilliant signing. It is a game-changer, a perfect fit. He has got the X-factor and in tight games he has the ability to break a low block down. I think Arsenal win the league with Eze,” Merson said. Merson’s endorsement emphasizes Eze’s unique skill set, particularly his ability to unlock stubborn defenses—something Arsenal struggled with in crucial matches last season. Why Arsenal Fans Are Excited About Eze Eze’s flair, creativity, and composure on the ball make him an exciting prospect for Arsenal supporters. If the deal is finalized, he will add another dimension to Arsenal’s already dynamic midfield, boosting their chances of competing with Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea for the Premier League crown. With Arsenal narrowly missing out on the title in previous campaigns, Eze’s arrival could provide the spark they need to finally lift the trophy again.

Arsenal Pulls Off Sensational £67.5m Transfer Move In a dramatic twist to the summer transfer window, Eberechi Eze is on the verge of completing a stunning £67.5 million move to Arsenal, making him the third most expensive signing in the club’s history. The 27-year-old Crystal Palace playmaker is scheduled to undergo his medical tests today, with the deal expected to be officially sealed this weekend. According to reports, Arsenal will pay a guaranteed £60 million, with an additional £7.5 million in performance-related add-ons. This bold transfer coup comes after Arsenal successfully hijacked Tottenham Hotspur’s approach for the England international, adding yet another layer of rivalry drama between the two North London clubs. How Eze Ranks Among Arsenal’s Record Signings While the deal is massive, it still falls short of Arsenal’s two biggest transfers: Eze’s arrival pushes Kai Havertz (£65m), signed from Chelsea, down to fourth on the list, while Viktor Gyökeres (£63.5m), signed from Sporting CP, rounds out the top five. In terms of influence, Eze’s flair, creativity, and proven Premier League experience could prove to be just as significant as Rice’s leadership in midfield or Pépé’s once-anticipated attacking spark. Why This Move Matters for Arsenal Arsenal’s decision to invest heavily in Eze sends a clear signal: Mikel Arteta is building a squad with depth, versatility, and attacking firepower capable of challenging for major honours. Eze, admired for his dribbling, vision, and ability to unlock stubborn defences, will add a new dimension to Arsenal’s attacking play. His versatility across midfield and forward roles means he could slot seamlessly into Arteta’s evolving tactical system. By beating Tottenham to his signature, Arsenal has also secured a psychological win in the North London rivalry, further fueling anticipation for the upcoming season. Arsenal’s Top 5 Most Expensive Transfers Final Thoughts Eberechi Eze’s arrival marks another statement of intent from Arsenal, as they continue to spend boldly in pursuit of Premier League and European glory. With Rice marshalling midfield, Havertz finding his rhythm, and Gyökeres bringing goal-scoring power, Eze could be the missing creative spark Arsenal fans have been craving. The Gunners are not just spending big; they are shaping a squad built to dominate.
