The mistake people like this and Tinubu make is that they take Christianity for granted. They don't respect Lord Jesus and see us as weak. They take the fact we don't murder and burn people to death for blasphemy for granted.
Don't underestimate the Power of Christ. If it were to be a Christian Christian ticket APC was presenting the country would have been on fire by now. So many would have been killed and shops looted

The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) has asked the Northern voters to resist the temptation of voting along religion, tribe and political party lines ahead of the 2023 general election.

CNG also urged Northerners to ask those seeking their votes to provide comprehensive programmes for the development of the region and promotion of their interest.

This is part of the resolutions contained in the Communique issued at the end of a two-day retreat of CNG held in Bauchi State.

The retreat resolved to call on the northern voters to remain ever vigilant on the direction the coming round of fresh elections will take by “resisting the temptation to vote sole across a political party, region, tribe or religious basis and instead, choose to install a credible leadership that could see the nation through and out of its current situation, from if needs be, even the so-called peripheral parties.

“To demand from every candidate seeking northern votes to provide comprehensive programmes for the development of the region and promotion of the protection of Northern interests around security and the economy.”

On the Humanitarian issues in the North, the retreat resolved to alert the nation to wake up to the magnitude of the humanitarian disaster that Boko Haram and the activities of bandits have created.

The CNG also warned of the imminent dangers of neglecting millions of our fellow citizens who are internally displaced and hundreds of thousands of orphans, with hunger and malnourishment, previously unknown in our land becoming alarming features of existence.

“Warn that dealing with this humanitarian disaster will require a stronger political will and deployment of the highest administrative and managerial competencies.

Recognise that the simultaneous challenges of continuing the fight against Boko Haram, rehabilitating I.D.Ps and rebuilding lives, communities and infrastructure will require the best in leadership capacities.

“Warn that the current quality of coordination of efforts, management of skills and resources and the capacities and integrity of government agencies do not do justice to the magnitude of the problems, or address the sense of urgency in dealing with an escalating disaster.

“Demand government to overhaul the existing institutional mechanisms involved in dealing with the management of the humanitarian disaster before the problem becomes much worse than it is,” it stated.

On the strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), the retreat ratified “to first and foremost direct state chapters to meet with their respective state chapters of ASUU to gain real insight into their grievances and the level of government commitment. To take measures to attract greater local and international attention.

To wage a sustained widespread online campaign. To condemn unequivocally the obvious double standards and deception by the Nigerian Labour Congress with its unexplained silence on its pledge to resume a three-day nationwide solidarity protest several days after the expiration of their two-weeks ultimatum for government to act to resolve the University workers’ crisis.

On the security situation, the retreat resolved to meet governors of Northern states to present and discuss a comprehensive action plan put together by the CNG to check the situation.

“Demand an immediate, transparent and comprehensive investigation into growing concerns over rampant defence corruption running into trillions of Naira.

“Demand urgent government explanation on what is inhibiting the ability of Nigerian armed forces to effectively tackle the insurgent threat in the North East, banditry and kidnappings in the northwest as well as respond to the secessionist violence in the Southeast, oil bunkering in the Niger Delta, the conflict in the north-central, and the threat of maritime piracy in the Gulf of Guinea,” the Communique added.

ObaOfYorubaLand:
When I observe the way Yoruba Muslims are fighting and opposing anything Christian in Nigeria now, I foresee a mass terrorist activities to be unleashed on southwest in no distant future.

Yoruba christians should wake up, the only people sustaining christianity in south west now are the eastern region. If Yoruba Christians lose these their brothers, it will be game over because of the hate.

Farounbi who is a veteran broadcast journalist also said he was not surprised that this is happening because Nigerians were warned during the 2014/2015 presidential campaign about President Buhari’s past.

Yemi Farounbi, a former Nigerian Ambassador to the Philippines, made some stunning claims about Nigeria's number one man.

Farounbi claims that President Muhammadu Buhari is God’s punishment for Nigeria.

Farounbi who is a veteran broadcast journalist also said he was not surprised that this is happening because Nigerians were warned during the 2014/2015 presidential campaign about President Buhari’s past.

Farounbi who made these revelations while featuring on a live weekly radio show in Ibadan explained that imprisonment of politicians was one of the bad sores inflicted by the president while a military Head Of State.

In his words, “In 2014/2015 when we were campaigning, when Nigerians decided to accept the campaign of one chance, they were warned of the history of Muhammadu Buhari and how he imprisoned many politicians including Chief Obafemi Awolowo.

God is a wonderful being. He decided to use Buhari to punish Nigerians for their evil deeds and Nigerians deserve these punishments.”

While reiterating that he has optimism that Nigeria will be better, he accused corrupt politicians of not looking forward to seeing a better Nigeria.

Ambassador Farounbi, however, stated that Buhari can still redeem his image by becoming Nigeria’s best president if he could sincerely restructure the country into six geographical zones.

This, he said, will help to strengthen the country’s economy and political space.

What is wrong in Afghanistan way?

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, got a rousing welcome from the congregation on Friday at the Holy Ghost Service of the 70th convention of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, tagged “Perfect Jubilee” at the RCCG international headquarters along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

Obi was introduced alongside other dignitaries, including the President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Bishop Francis Wale-Oke; Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel; and the wife of Ogun State Governor, Bamidele Abiodun; among others.

Wife of the General Overseer, Foluke Adeboye prayed for the restoration of Nigeria.

WITHIN NIGERIA recalls that Obi last month attended Mid-Year Worship Service at Dunamis International Gospel Centre in Abuja led by Pastor Paul Enenche and his followers met him with an energetic welcome.

RCCG’s General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, had in April said though God had not spoken to him about next year’s election he would pray for any candidate who came to him for prayers.

“As of now, I still don’t know whether or not there will be an election next year, yet. I don’t know because my father has not spoken about it yet. The reason could be in Matthew 6-34.

“For your information, if anyone comes to me from any political party, I will pray for them, the general prayer point I pray for them is Father, let your perfect will for this person be done,” the 80-year-old had said.

Nothing new about it and I don't seem to understand why they're calling it Islamization agenda. It is happening in all sector of the country.

This is nepotism and for our darling country to move forward we need to stop it.

Ahmed was alleged to have illegally transferred some Christian personnel out of the institution and replaced them with Muslims.

The Commandant of the Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State, Abdurrahman Ahmad has been under fire over alleged marginalisation and subtly engaging in an Islamisation agenda.

Some staff members of the institution who spoke to SaharaReporters accused the Assistant Inspector General of Police of victimising personnel based on their religious faith.

Ahmed was said to have illegally transferred some Christian personnel out of the institution and replaced them with Muslims.

“Furtherance to the achievement of the mission and vision of his Islamisation agenda once reported by SaharaReporters, the Commandant, AIG Abdurrahman Ahmad, in a transfer signal dated 3rd August 2022 and signed by Christy Cookey (Mrs), the CP in charge of welfare transferred 21 personnel out of which, 16 are Christians and 5 Muslims,” a source told SaharaReporters.

“Note that the Muslims affected were tagged drunkards and were said to hardly practise Islam. He now replaced them with 14 personnel who are all Muslims, in a country where Federal Character Commission is supposed to always guide when posting personnel.

“This act clearly shows the handwriting on the wall as the mission to Islamise the Academy is almost 90 percent completed if nothing is done to avert the doom that will soon occur in Nigeria.”

A Muslim staff member of the institution also kicked against the action of the commandant.

“This is wrong, even though I’m a Muslim, I’m against his action. Unfortunately when this plan was published by SaharaReporters months ago, both the Nigeria Police Force and the Police Service Commission, that is the supervising body were mute,” he said.

“Now it's getting out of hand as the Commandant always claims the IGP (Inspector-General of Police) is his personal friend as such he is justified and covered to run the Academy as his spirit leads him.

Nigerian Police Academy Commandant, Ahmad Accused Of Islamisation Agenda, Separation Of Meals Between Cadets, Other Discriminatory Policies

“He has even requested the transfer of some of the senior officers who always oppose some of his decisions that are not in the interest of the Academy. He is too bossy and assumes so much power that no one dares comment on any decision.”

A civilian staff member told SaharaReporters that most of the affected personnel were trained abroad using public funds through the TETFUND (Tertiary Education Trust Fund) and were transferring knowledge to the cadets.

“With their training abroad and everything, they are being replaced with secondary school leavers who lack what it takes to lecture cadets. Is the Academy going forward or backwards?” he asked.

The Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN) on Wednesday clarified that the arrested terrorism suspect, Idris Ojo, was not one of the perpetrators of the June 5 attack on St Francis Catholic Church, Owo, but an escapee from the Kuje correctional facility in Abuja.

In a statement signed by Richard Olatunde, his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), obtained by POLITICS NIGERIA, Akeredolu said there was a ‘mix-up” in the statement issued by the Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor.

Governor Akeredolu acknowledged the confusion the statement has created in the public space, considering that the ugly event of June 5 attack in Owo preceded the unfortunate incident on Kuje prison.

The Governor said there was a mix up in the announcement by General Irabor.

Governor Akeredolu explained that Ojo, who is number 14 on the wanted list of Kuje Prison Escapees was arrested in his brother’s house in Akure, Ondo State capital.

“The announcement of the arrest of Idris Ojo as one of the perpetrators of the June 5 attack on St Francis Catholic Church, Owo was a mix up from the Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor.

“Idris Ojo, who is number 14 on the wanted list of the Kuje Prison Escapees was arrested in his brother’s house in Akure.

“His brother, Jimoh Rasheed Ibrahim, received and accommodated him after his escape from Kuje prison.

“He was thereafter moved and kept in the custody of the security operatives at the same time the attackers of Owo Catholic Church were arrested and brought into custody. Hence, the mix up,” the Governor said.

On April 4, Oshiomhole, a former National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), during an event to mark his 70th birthday in Edo, said he was seeking to represent Edo North in the upper legislative chamber.

The senatorial aspiration of former Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, is in the news for the wrong reason over his appointment of an ex-convict, Abdulganiyu Lawani, popularly known as Abu Millionaire as his campaign organisation Director-General, SaharaReporters has gathered.

On April 4, Oshiomhole, a former National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), during an event to mark his 70th birthday in Edo, said he was seeking to represent Edo North in the upper legislative chamber.

“As I have spoken for Nigeria as the president of the NLC before — as a non-state actor — I believe that as a senator and with your support, your interest cannot be ignored in the red chamber in Abuja. With you supporting the project [for me] to be the senator, I will be the senator representing Edo north,” Oshiomhole had said.

On March 29, he was declared the candidate of the party after garnering 309 votes, while his opponent, Senator Francis Alimikhena, had five votes.

Multiple sources told SaharaReporters that the newly appointed Director General of the Adam Oshiomhole Campaign Organization, Lawani is an ex-convict, sentenced to Kirikiri Correctional Centre in Lagos for armed robbery.

Around the time he got into trouble, it was said that Abu Millionaire was in the military and got dismissed for the same offence he was convicted of.

“Abu Millionaire as he is fondly known is a native of Warrake in Owan East Local Government. He had served in the Artillery Unit of the Nigerian Army but got involved in an armed robbery operation while in army uniform. He was arrested, charged and tried in a competent court of jurisdiction and subsequently sentenced to a prison term of five years,” one of the sources told SaharaReporters.

“This was in the mid-1990s. He served his five-year jail term at the Kirikiri Medium Correctional Centre. He was thereafter, dismissed from the Nigerian Army.”

Another source added that since he got his freedom, Abu Millionaire has been finding his level in politics and social circles where he is a big spender at parties.

“His past and commanding position in the circle of louts in Edo have also served for something among some top politicians in the state, who pay him allegedly for unwholesome reasons.

“This holds true of his once-upon-a-time relationship with Senator Francis Alimikhena, the Senator representing Edo North in the National Assembly, which was of mutual benefits.

“At the height of it, Alimikhena gifted him a Toyota Hilux vehicle before their relationship went south on account of the political intrigues that characterized the emergence of Oshiomohole as Edo North senatorial candidate of the APC, at the expense of the Senator, who sought the same ticket of the ruling party.

“The ex-governor's choice is being received with excitement in PDP circle, while it is causing ripples among members of APC in the state as many feel he is not worthy of the office based on alleged intellectual disability. Equally, his appointment is viewed in some quarters as a disservice to his principal’s ambition,” he said.

Meanwhile, the APC Edo North Senatorial Women Leader and former Commissioner for Environment and Sustainability in the state, Chief Dame Omoua Oni-Okpaku, has resigned from her position over Lawani’s appointment.

Oni-Okpaku, in a statement, said she “cannot in true conscience work with Abdulganiyu Lawani as the DG of the Campaign Organization at the senatorial level.”

Calls put across by SaharaReporters to the media aide to the former Edo Governor, Victor Oshioke, were not answered nor returned.

A text message sent to his mobile line had not been replied to at the time of filing this report.

Though not a noise maker like others, he was the GOVERNOR of Anambra State from 2006 - 2014 with record breaking Achievements.

ALL ARE VERIFIABLE

✅ First GOVERNOR to leave office without owing any debts. (He posted his handover notes, check).

✅ First GOVERNOR to buy 1,000 Nigerian made vehicles (Innoson) for government officials. (Innoson motors hasn’t stopped repeating it)

✅ First GOVERNOR who built over 800kms of road network between rural and urban areas. (Even though he was an opposition governor then, the Fed. Min. of Works voted Anambra State as having the best rural roads).

✅ First GOVERNOR whose state UNIVERSITY never embarked on STRIKE till now! (The SUG President video confirming this is public, and it’s been verified).

✅ First GOVERNOR to give 1 million naira each to all 1st Class graduates during his tenure. (I personally have a few friends that benefited from it. In fact, he set the pace and his successors continued with it). I can bet you 2 million naira that there no Anambra indigene that made first class and never got the money under him).

✅ First GOVERNOR to renovate and equip 500 schools during his tenure. (The records are there and he got UNICEF awards for it). In addition, he moved Anambra from the number 26th to number 1 in Nigerian education rating, within a few years. From the last in the SE to the first in Nigeria.

✅ First GOVERNOR to purchase 30,000 Computers For schools during his tenure. (The videos and picture of this is all over the internet. In fact, some opposition guys tried to verify and got shocked - HP responded that they never sold that much computer to one buyer in Africa before. They’re still in the schools).

✅ First GOVERNOR who paid NYSC corpers #4,000 additional allowance during his tenure. (I can’t prove this, but I’ve seen people confirm it online).

✅ First GOVERNOR to spent Billions of naira to purchase MEDICAL EQUIPMENTS which are still functioning till today. (If you know Awka, he transformed a local hospital - Amaku opposite ABS at Aroma to a teaching hospital, with these equipments. And I can confirm that).

✅ First GOVERNOR to pay #5,000 to all who are above 70yrs old and Above during his tenure. (I’m sure you’ve seen the viral Brekete family video. He challenged people to go and verify. The reports has been out that it is true).

✅ First GOVERNOR who empowered state's SECURITY and provide pick ups in every village and cities. (Onitsha, before him, was even worse than the UGM situation you like posting here. He ended the rubbish. He was so brutal that MASSOB blamed him for those corpses found in the River, which they said were their members he killed to bring sanity to Anambra).

✅ First GOVERNOR who provided efficient and improved POWER SUPPLY in his state. (He embarked on massive Transformer installation, which I witnessed myself).

✅ First GOVERNOR who flies economy all through his tenure. (This one no be news again, even his worst enemy keeps saying this one about him.)

✅ First GOVERNOR who reduced his convoy to just 5 vehicles to save cost. (Even as a presidential Aspirant, he travels around without escort - abeg make them no go off am o).

✅ First GOVERNOR without bullet proof car (the verification above applies).

✅ First GOVERNOR who gave his house to President Obasanjo as a lodge when he visited to save cost to govern his people. (This one no needs verification, everyone has already heard the story of why they impeached him, as he refused to waste the State money on guest houses. In fact, the UN building here in Abuja is Anambra guest house. He gave it to them in exchange for UNICEF support for the state instead of having thugs and touts wasting the state money on it.)

✅ First GOVERNOR who left about 75billion Naira in office after his tenure (Like I said earlier, his handover note is everywhere, he mentioned the names and accounts numbers of the banks).

It’s innumerable to show his leadership qualities, you can even do more research about it. I don tire. I’m not his campaign manager. I’m not even campaigning for him. I’m saying what I know.

You may wish to pass the message on... If you truly believe that there’s a future for this nation.
