The Federal Government on Monday directed the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, to comply with the judgment of the Supreme Court delivered on April 27, 2018, which restored the orders of the Federal High Court, setting aside the purported election into the Amaju Pinnick-led Executive Committee of the NFF held on September 30, 2014.

The Minister of Youth and Sports Solomon Dalung said in a statement on Monday that the directive followed a written notification signed for the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice requesting the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports to ensure compliance.

The order compels the defendants, including the Minister of Youth and Sports, their servants, agents and privies howsoever, the Inspector General of Police and all law enforcement agencies to forthwith enforce the orders made by the court on 19th September 2014 and 23rd October 2014 and give recognition to the General Assembly Meeting and election of the NFF held on 26th August 2014 under the leadership of Amb Chris Giwa pending the hearing and determination of the Motion on Notice filed in this case.

But Pinnick reacted swiftly through his lawyers, stressing that the directive by the Minister of Sports is null, void and of no effect as FIFA has maintained that the same matter has been taken to the highest Court of Sports Arbitration in Switzerland by same individuals and they have lost out.

Coming after last weekend’s massacre of over a hundred persons in Plateau State, President of the Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo, has again spoken out in condemnation of the mindless killings in some parts of the country, lamenting how cows are now valued more than human lives in Nigeria.

Speaking during during one of the church’s recent programmes, he fired at the killer herdsmen and their sponsors, stressing that self-defence is the right of every Nigerian and that the country is not a Fulani Republic.

The fiery preacher cursed the sponsors of those killing and maiming lives in Nigeria, wondering why the herdsmen who are brazen in their actions are not been confronted by the government.

A group of Christians under the auspices of National Christian Elders Forum, spearheaded by a former Minister of Defence, Lt. Gen. Theophilus Y. Danjuma (retd.), and Solomon Asemota SAN, has warned that the present generation of Christians in Nigeria may cease to exist in 25 years from now (2043), beginning from 2018.

While pointing out that the present generation of Christians faces the risk of being the last set of Christians in Nigeria, they demanded the restructuring of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, before the 2019 general elections.

While pointing out that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is openly pursuing an anti-Christian agenda, the organisation warned that if the current faulty structure of CAN is carried into 2019, it might be too late to preserve Christianity in Nigeria.

After his victory in the 2015 elections, President Muhammadu Buhari reportedly called Adams Oshiomhole to describe him as a “lion” for standing with him at the presidential election despite tremendous pressure brought on the then Edo state governor not to work against a fellow South-South candidate in the person of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.

It has emerged that after he came on-board as governor of Edo state, there were immense pressures on Oshiomhole to defect to the PDP on the prism that the South-South must remain a PDP enclave...

The Chairman, the Patriots as well as Project Nigeria Movement, Prof. Ben Nwabueze SAN, has stated that President Muhammadu Buhari was trying to redeem his waning goodwill by proclaiming June 12 as the Democracy Day.

While dismissing the move by the President which has been called a masterstroke in some quarters as a masterstroke of mischief, he said the President may have been “motivated by the public interest or by a political desire to secure the votes of Nigerians in the 2019 election, especially the votes of people of the South-West or to sow the seed of division among the members of the National Assembly in order to scuttle the threat to impeach him or to throw the country into turmoil or to smear the polity with the taint of illegality”.

Recall that Buhari had on June 6th announced the conferment of the Grand Commander of the Federal Republic, GCFR, the highest honour in the country on MKO Abiola, while the investiture held on June 12. The President, in a statement he personally signed, also declared June 12 would replace May 29 as Democracy Day.

Reacting in a statement he personally signed on Friday, Nwabueze, who also leads Igbo Leaders of Thought, described the declaration as “unconstitutional” and a masterstroke of mischief...

He reminded his colleagues that Buhari had while receiving members of his support group led by the Customs Comptroller-General, Hameed Ali, last week stated that many lawmakers have spent more than 10 years in the legislature without achieving anything.

Melaye insisted that the President’s speech was uncomplimentary and derogatory to the reputation of the hallowed chambers and functions of the parliament particularly under a democratic dispensation.

Erstwhile Senate leader, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba has built a 1,000 capacity Roman Catholic church in Akparabong, his hometown in Cross River state in fulfillment of his promise to God for making him successful.

At the dedication ceremony, Ndoma-Egba, who represented Cross River Central at the Senate from 2003 to 2015, said he built the church to fulfill the promise he made to God at the age of 11, adding that the Church project was kicked off in 2003.

His words: “Growing up, I made a promise to God to build Him a church if He made me a man. He made me a man ages ago but He has thankfully been patient with me to this day.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday stated that his retention of Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo as running mate for the 2019 presidential election was under threat.


Buhari said this at the Aso Villa in Abuja on Friday while receiving a delegation of the Conference of Nigerian Female Parliamentarians, CNFP.

Newsworth recalls that Osinbajo had earlier this month averred that he did not beg to become Nigeria’s Vice President, stressing that he would rather vacate his office as the nation’s Number Two citizen than compromise his Christian faith.

President Donald Trump of the United States on Thursday informed Kim Jong Un of North Korea that their planned June 12 meeting in Singapore would not hold, basing his decision to put off the summit on the North Korean leader’s “tremendous anger and open hostility”.


Trump, in a letter to Kim released by the White House, said, “sadly, based on the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement, I feel it is inappropriate, at this time, to have this long-planned meeting”.

In the letter, he thanked his North Korean counterpart for the “wonderful dialogue” that had developed in recent weeks between the two nations while leaving the door open to a rescheduled summit in the future.

“If you change your mind having to do with this most important summit, please do not hesitate to call me or write,” the president said, adding that, “The world, and North Korea in particular, has lost a great opportunity for lasting peace and great prosperity and wealth.”

Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Governors’ Forum, Chief Rochas Okorocha of Imo State on Friday declared that nobody can cage him politically, calling himself the greatest asset of the APC in the South-East geopolitical zone.


The governor spoke in a press statement issued to newsmen in Owerri by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Sam Onwuemeodo, in reaction to a statement credited to Imo APC stakeholders led by Senator Ifeanyi Araraume that they have rendered the governor politically irrelevant.

He stated that Araraume’s group only caged him in the office of the National Chairman of APC, John Oyegun and that of the National Orgarnizing Secretary, Mr. Osita Izunaso.

The Senate President, Bukola Saraki on Wednesday sounded an alarm that the Offa armed robbery suspects were being suddenly transferred to the Force Headquarters in Abuja with the ulterior motive by police authorities to implicate him in the heinous crime.


Addressing his colleagues at the Senate, Saraki stated that his home state governor, Abdulfatai Ahmed told him last night that the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Ibrahim Idris ordered that transfer of the suspects from Kwara state to the police headquarters in Abuja with a view to making them alter their statements and implicate him.

He claimed that Idris is doing this to extract a pound of flesh in response to the Senate’s recent declaration that the IGP is not qualified and competent to hold any public office, within and outside the country and that he is an enemy of Nigerian democracy.

Benue, other killings may destroy Nigeria, Pastor Adeboye warns


Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has warned that if Nigeria must live, the killings around the country must stop.

Mr Adeboye said this when he paused his sermon at the church’s May Holy Ghost Service at the Redemption Camp last night to call on the congregation of thousands of people to join him in praying for the end of killings in the country.

He also said when a bishop of another church asked him who would win the 2019 election, he replied that unless the killings stopped the 2019 elections may not hold because people would be scared to go out to vote.

“When people are not sure about their safety how would they go out in parts of the country where killing is rampant to vote,” he said.


He, however, explained that the threat to elections was his personal reasoning and not a prophecy.

Recalling the effect of the killing of 17 people, including two priests in Benue State last month, he said it threw him into a sad mood, prompting his wife, Folu Adeboye, to ask him in Germany, where they were holding a programme of the church, why he was not his usual cheerful self.

“As a leader people from various denominations call Daddy, the 27 people killed were my children who were in a church or returning from a church programme,” he said he told his wife, who had not heard the news then. “As a father, I naturally became sad over that.”


Two priests and 15 other people were killed in an attack by armed herdsmen who invaded St. Ignatius Quasi Parish Ukpor-Mbalom in Ayar-Mbalom community of Gwer East Local Government Area of Benue on a Tuesday morning. No fewer than 100 houses in the community were also razed in the attack.

A week after, about 10 people who were returning from morning mass were murdered by suspected herdsmen in military uniform in Naka, Gwer West Local Government Area.

The attacks have continued in Benue and many other parts of the country. In March, Mr Adeboye visited Benue State, where he expressed displeasure with the mindless killings of people in the state and other parts of the country. He confessed he wept when he saw the people weeping over the loss of lives and property.


“Of course, no man of God will see a mass burial anywhere and not feel the pains of the people affected,” he said

National chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, says the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has in the spiritual realm been sacked from the Aso Presidential Villa, adding that what is left is for the eviction to manifest in the physical.

Secondus, according to a statement by his spokesman, Ike Abonyi, spoke when he led members of the PDP National Working Committee, NWC, to the party’s caucus at National Assembly “to rub minds and see how we can save this country”.

He said Nigeria was sitting on a keg of gunpowder waiting to explode, adding that only the PDP could save it.

He pointed out that for one to be given an appointment at the federal level, the person must be a native of Daura, the president’s hometown in Katsina state.

The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai on Wednesday announced the deployment of Army troops to Benue, Taraba, Nasarawa, Kogi, Niger and Kaduna states to tackle the security challenges there via an operation codenamed Exercise AYEM AKPATUMA billed to run from February 15 to March 31, 2018.

The deployment is coming on the heels of persistent clashes between farmers and herdsmen and other acts of criminality in those states which have resulted to several deaths and destruction of property worth several billions of naira particularly in Benue and Taraba states.

The COAS, who announced this at a press conference at the Army headquarters in Abuja, said the troops will carry out special operations in the affected states in conjunction with other sister security agencies from the Nigerian Police, Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps among others.

He said the exercise is necessitated by increased spate of armed banditry, kidnapping and cattle rustling in Kaduna and Niger states as well as other sundry crimes in Kogi State and herdsmen/farmers clashes and attacks on innocent villagers in Benue, Taraba and Nasarawa states by armed militias.

Former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday stated that it is unfortunate that many of the nation’s leaders do not have basic economic skills which, according to him, is one of the reasons why the country has not recorded much progress.

Speaking at the 15th annual leadership symposium organised by the Center for Values in Leadership, CVL, in Lagos, he said it has become imperative that the country transitions to a popular movement which would give the people a feeling that power is in their hands.

Obasanjo, who was the special guest of honour at the lecture, said, "the three ingredients of success are leadership, governance and development. Leaders should understand the world we live in; they should not live their lives in ignorance of what is happening around them.

“Any leader that wants to be successful must have a good knowledge of the economy but some of our leaders do not even understand what demand and supply, which is the most basic aspect of economics. In Nigeria, we are not there yet, but, we would be deceiving ourselves if we do not speak home truths.

The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, NAPTIP, says it has engaged some local witchdoctors in Benin, Edo state as ambassadors in fighting human trafficking in the country.

The Director General of NAPTIP, Ms Julie Okah-Donli, disclosed this at a symposium for the agency’s officials in Abuja on Monday.

Edo state has the highest number of traffickers and victims of human trafficking in the country.

Okah-Donli said investigations revealed that some local witch doctors were involved or used in the trafficking of persons to Europe.

According to her, “When we gathered these witchdoctors recently to sensitise them on what human trafficking victims go through in Europe, they were shocked.

While formally receiving the troops into the theatre of operation on Sunday, the Theatre Commander charged them to exhibit discipline and professionalism in the discharge of their assigned tasks and duties, urging them to be courageous and display aggression towards the insurgents during operations.

He also admonished the troops to be obedient to instructions from their commanders, adding that their compliance with these instructions will facilitate the decisive defeat of the insurgents sooner than expected.

The Kano state governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has called on Fulani herdsmen residing in other parts of the country, especially Benue and Taraba states, to relocate to Kano where they would be treated with dignity since the state has vast grazing land to accommodate them and their cattle.

He stated this on Sunday while inspecting the vaccination of over one million cattle and other small animals’ free-of-charge at Kadawa artificial insemination centre in Garum Malam Local Government Area of the state as part of activities to mark the 2017/2018 livestock vaccination programme.

While condemning the “recent killings during the clashes between farmers and herdsmen,” Ganduje, who is a Fulani, stated that the crises were unacceptable.

He pointed out that Fulani herdsmen of Kano origin do not move out of Kano to other states because we have enough grazing land, ranches and traditional stock route.

The governor said, “Fulani herdsmen of Kano origin do not move out of Kano to other states because we have enough grazing land, ranches and traditional stock route. They don’t have any reason to move out of the state. We take care of them and we accord them the respect and dignity they deserve.

Wife of Boko Haram’s chief physician, Rabi Abu-Yasir, has surrendered to the troops of Operation Lafiya Dole carrying out ongoing clearance operation to route out remnants of the insurgents.

The Theatre Commander, Operation Lafiya Dole, Maj.-Gen. Rogers Nicholas, disclosed this while handing over 82 women and children rescued from the insurgents’ captivity to the Borno State Emergency Management Agency, SEMA, in Maiduguri.

Rabi told newsmen that her husband was the medical doctor to the insurgents’ leader, Abubakar Shekau, adding that unlike other women, she enjoyed preferential treatment and privileges in view of her position as a wife to the physician.

Revealing that she was rescued on Friday after the troops dislodged the insurgents’ enclaves in Sambisa Forest, Rabi said, “My husband, Abu-Yasir, is Shekau’s physician, he also treat patients and conduct surgical operation.

“My type of food and other consumables are better from what they gave out to other women and children in the camps.

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje, believes that no Senate President has managed the upper legislative chamber like the incumbent, Bukola Saraki, adding that lawmakers who had opposed Saraki’s emergence are now his fanatical supporters.


Speaking yesterday in an interview with newsmen in Ilorin, the Kwara capital shortly after a brief prayer session marking his 67th birthday, Baraje said any plot to impeach the Senate President will boomerang as he warned those behind the purported plot to retrace their steps.

Disclosing that he was aware of on-going gimmicks by certain forces against the Senate President, the APC chieftain pointed out that aside being popular among his colleagues in the Red Chambers, Saraki has not also committed any known impeachable offence.

Former president, Dr. Olusegun Obasanjo has observed that federal character principle was not followed in the appointment of the nation’s service chiefs, even as he berated the National Assembly and the Federal Character Commission, FCC, for failing to check the excesses of President Muhammadu Buhari in the uneven distribution of public offices.

He also stated that his exchange of pleasantries with Buhari in Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital, during the African Union, AU, summit, did not in any way detract from the significance and seriousness of his special press statement which called on the President not to contest the 2019 elections.

Obasanjo stated this on Thursday at the secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, in Oke Ilewo area of Abeokuta, shortly after the Coalition for Nigeria Movement, CNM, was inaugurated in Ogun State, and he was registered as a member of the movement.

He pointed out that his open letter to Buhari was not borne out malice or ‘bad belle’ as he never condemned the current administration in totality but commended the president in areas where he had performed creditably.

The ex-president, who addressed scores of stalwarts and potential members of the CNM who came for the launch in Abeokuta, said: “Last week, I issued a statement which I did not do lightly or frivolously but out of deep concern for the situation of our country.

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, says President Muhammadu Buhari has honoured former vice president, late Dr. Alex Ekwueme, in all areas, and is committed to giving the deceased elder statesman a befitting burial.

He stated this on Sunday at Ekwueme’s hometown in Oko, Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State after inspecting facilities for the burial of the late former vice president.

Ngige said Buhari has committed about N1bn on Ekwueme from when the federal government took over his medical bills to date, adding that rehabilitation of roads in Anambra state and neighbouring communities of Imo and Abia in preparation for the burial had gulped about N480m.

He maintained that the federal government was leaving nothing to chance in ensuring that members of the Ekwueme family enjoy the role played by their late patriarch in ensuring a better Nigeria
