In a bold move, U.S. President Donald Trump has demanded the immediate resignation of New York Attorney General Letitia James, referring to her as a “wacky crook” and an outright “corrupt politician.” Trump made this statement on Sunday night via his Truth Social platform, sparking another round of political tension between the former president and the New York legal system. “Letitia James, a totally corrupt politician, should resign from her position as New York State Attorney General, Immediately,” Trump stated. “Everyone is trying to make New York great again, and it can never be done with this wacky crook in office.” What Sparked Trump’s Outburst? Trump’s comments come amidst ongoing scrutiny surrounding a real estate transaction that Letitia James reportedly carried out in August 2023, just weeks prior to filing a major civil fraud lawsuit against the former president. The lawsuit accuses Trump and his organization of inflating asset values to secure favorable loans and insurance deals—allegations that James has been pursuing as part of her broader investigations into Trump’s business dealings.

ABUJA – Federal lawmaker representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has filed a defamation lawsuit amounting to N100.3 billion against Senate President Godswill Akpabio. The case, lodged at the Federal Capital Territory High Court (FCT), Abuja, stems from allegations of reputational damage caused by a social media post. According to Akpoti-Uduaghan, Akpabio published a defamatory post on Facebook through his aide, Mfon Patrick, titled: “Is Local Content Committee of the Senate Natasha’s Birthright?” The post allegedly ridiculed her, suggesting she misunderstood legislative duties, emphasizing superficial appearance rather than governance.

Pastor Jerry Eze, founder of Streams of Joy Church and convener of the NSPPD prayer platform, has recently found himself at the center of controversy following a testimony by Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, during a church service. A viral video from Sunday’s service showed Okpebholo publicly thanking God for his victory in the Edo State governorship election, attributing his success to divine intervention. The session moderator emphasized that God often uses “foolish things” to showcase His sovereignty, reinforcing the governor’s claim of divine favor in his electoral win. The testimony sparked mixed reactions online. Many Nigerians expressed outrage, accusing Eze of desecrating the pulpit by allowing a testimony they felt mocked God. Critics argued that the focus on a political figure’s election win detracted from the spiritual purpose of the church service and questioned whether such a setting was appropriate for such statements. While some defended Okpebholo’s remarks as an expression of gratitude, others questioned the appropriateness of such a testimony in a church environment, especially given its political nature. Ose Anenih, son of former Minister of Works Tony Anenih, criticized Pastor Jerry Eze for celebrating what he referred to as societal perversions. On X (formerly Twitter), he expressed, “God will not be mocked, #RealJerryEze. There was a time when mighty men of God would speak truth to power. Today, pastors use their platforms to celebrate society’s perversions. A rigged election is what your god is using to prove His divinity? God will not be mocked, Pastor Jerry.” An anonymous user, Peaceful Revolution (#buhilz56), questioned the appropriateness of the testimony, stating, “#RealJerryEze this is not supposed to be ooo. On your pulpit, we’re hearing such testimonies from what is a well-known situation in Edo State.” Another user, Adewale (#Wale_A3), lamented, “When I say there are specific pastors I can never listen to, they would claim pride. But I no longer bother anymore. I listen to very few preachers these days because many others are just hustlers trying to survive.” Chuks E (#messersEze) expressed disappointment at the congregation’s reaction, stating, “Imagine the congregation shouting in celebration for this. For them, this God is so good. It is okay o. We deserve what has befallen us as a people.” Akongwale Patrick (#unimagbebia) voiced concerns about the commercialization of Christianity in Nigeria, writing, “When will Christianity learn from Islam? Islam doesn’t close its doors, but they don’t give room to rinse sins and ascribe sham victories to Allah. Christianity, as practiced in Nigeria, can’t take its eyes off money.” However, some defended Pastor Jerry. User #goodthangs_ commented, “Pastor Jerry didn’t tell the rigged governor to testify. He came out on his own. Who is Pastor Jerry not to let him? It’s irritating, but what can he do?” Therim Tanko (#TherimT56364) emphasized the divine aspect of the victory, saying, “If God didn’t want him there, no amount of rigging would put him there. Go and read the Bible carefully. God does not think like a man.” Foreigner (#SmartSyn) defended Pastor Jerry’s actions, saying, “What would you have them do? Chase him off the premises? In this lawless Nigeria, so they’d use state power on the church? Pastor Jerry did what he had to do. In the end, it’s God’s judgment.” Mekus (èkún) (#coly_emeks) remarked, “But should he have banned him from the church because he’s a politician? The church is for God, not for Pastor Jerry. Nigerians are too spontaneous in their reactions.” Daprofet (#FYNEGUY2010) added, “A rigged election is subjective. You were an interested party in the election, so your bias could influence this submission.” READ ALSO:
