GOVERNOR AGBU KEFAS: FATHER OF OUR NEW TARABA


Fellow Jukun people, scattered across the globe, we stand at the threshold of a new era, one that promises unparalleled hope and a brighter future.

The past four decades have been marred by failed leadership, strife, division, destruction, and the scourge of banditry, leaving our land ravaged and our people dispersed in search of greener pastures.

Yet, in the midst of despair, a beacon of hope emerged in the form of Governor Agbu Kefas, sent by Providence to rescue and restore our beloved Jukun nation.

Despite the entrenched bitterness of political and tribal animosity, even the most skeptical among us cannot deny the tangible signs of progress that now dot our landscape today. Have we forgotten so quickly?

For example, for the first time in over 40 years, a local government area, once the epitome of rural neglect and backwardness, now shines as a testament to transformation.

Ussa Local Government Area boasts a state-of-the-art general hospital, over 200,000 economic trees to stimulate economic growth and alleviate poverty, and a comprehensive road network mapped for construction. This revolutionary development is being replicated across all local government areas in southern, central, and northern Taraba.

However, the fact that a Jukun son is at the helm of this historic transformation has ignited resentment and jealousy in certain quarters.

Those who seek to dominate, enslave, and impoverish our people have vowed to destroy everything we hold dear, rather than share our collective heritage. They kidnap our people, extort ransom, and unleash terror to thwart our progress.

In the face of such adversity, I urge you to remain steadfast and unwavering in your support for Governor Agbu Kefas, who possesses the vision and leadership to guide us toward a brighter future.

Our enemies seek to sabotage his efforts and discredit his achievements, but we must not lend them a listening ear, for they offer nothing but darkness and despair. Let us unite behind our leader and march forward together, toward a future that is rightfully ours.

Governor Agbu Kefas has unequivocally demonstrated his exceptional wisdom and leadership prowess, earning him the revered stature of the father of our newly revitalized Taraba. His visionary guidance has ushered in an era of unprecedented progress, uniting our people and propelling our state toward a brighter future.

In light of his remarkable achievements, it is imperative that we stand in unwavering support of our leader, recognizing that opposition to his noble endeavors would be tantamount to opposing the collective well-being of our people. Let us present a united front, solidifying our stance behind Governor Agbu Kefas, and resolutely declaring that any attempt to hinder his progress would be met with our collective disapproval.

Through our shared commitment to his leadership, we reaffirm our trust in his ability to navigate the complexities of our state's development, and we pledge to stand by him as he continues to shape the destiny of our beloved Taraba.

It did not start right now, but what has the tendency to finally destroy the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos has become a foetus that could be birthed before the 2027 general election. The party in the state is still trying to strengthen-up from its loss at the presidential election of 2023. That was, indeed, a shocking output from which many fingers point at the leadership of the party in the State led by Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi.

A review of the 2023 election by some members of the party showed that the usual steps to victory for the party was jettisoned under Ojelabi, whose exco decided to hire consultants. The party had always incorporated all the ward chairmen for mobilisation during electioneering. It was not done. And the result? A strike below the spine that got all and sundry bracing up urgently ahead of the governorship election that followed.

It is known the world over that one beautiful goal of a political party is winning elections but this is supposed to be through an effective membership drive. Thus, the more the members of a political party, the more strength the party garners. But in the case of the Lagos APC, the party has embarked on what is now termed 'a weeding spree', an action that has caused anger and opposition by some members. Currently, the exco is now said to be thriving in confusion following an escalation of an action it thought was close-knit.

THE BEGINNING

What is now becoming a danger to the party started on Monday, June 24, 2024, when Ojelabi reportedly met with stakeholders in the APC in the Alimosho area of the state. Alimosho had been challenged by a leadership crisis which is believed to result from loyalty to two groups - Justice Forum of Nigeria and The Mandate Movement of Nigeria - within the party. Ojelabi, a member of the Justice Forum, had reportedly caused suspicion when he was said to have invited members of his group in Alimosho led by former Deputy Governor Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire. Also invited was Abdullahi Ayinde Enilolobo, an ought-to-be member of the Mandate Movement, but whose tendencies favour the Justice Forum. With the news filtering out that Enilolobo was invited, suspicion took centre-stage. The members of the Mandate Movement marched on the party secretariat and met a defiant chairman who initially declined honouring them until he realised how resolute the protesters were. The protesters wanted to be part of the meeting because they did not trust Enilolobo, whose antics, they claimed, led to the defeat of the party in the presidential election of 2023.

However, while the meeting lasted, a separate template was being hatched by the exco. In just 24 hours after the meeting, some leaders of The Mandate Movement in Alimosho were summoned by the police in Alagbon based on a petition on behalf of Ojelabi. Among other allegations, they were accused of cyber stalking, threat to life and illegal possession of firearms. The police found nothing against the leaders.

On July 1, 2024, the party, through its secretary, Dr. Adeola Jokomba, sent a letter to the ward chairmen in Alimosho to activate Article 21 of the party constitution "to investigate the said occurrence of 24th June, 2024." This letter came with a pre-assumed list of those to be investigated, many of whom were said not to be at the party secretariat on the day of the protest. The letter had claimed that the protesters were armed and unleashed violence on the chairman. This, meanwhile, is against the explanation that the same chairman held a fruitful meeting with them after his initial stance.

One of the suspended members, who said he received the letter through Whatsapp explained that Article 21 of the party constitution emphasises fair hearing, but "without even inviting us for a defence, we suddenly started seeing our suspension letters on social media. Some letters were sent on July 3rd while some people got theirs on July 5th. In fact, what they did was to profile all members of The Mandate Movement for suspension. In Ward A of Ayobo-Ipaja LCDA alone, 54 members of the party were issued suspension letters. Using some local government council chairmen, this same suspension has been extended to some political appointees at the local government levels suspected to be loyal to The Mandate Movement of Nigeria.

A PARTY WITHOUT MEETINGS

First, a part of the grievance within the party stems from a complaint that since the 2023 elections, the party has hardly held general ward or local government meetings as it used to happen. General Ward meetings have only been held four times while LGA meetings have been held just three times. Meetings with LGA party chairmen were held only three times while no meeting has been held between him and all the 376 ward chairmen since he became the state chairman. The members are now left in limbo.

One issue pointing against Ojelabi is that under his leadership, the party still grapples with two parallel excos in the Mainland area of the state. According to insiders, the issue had been resolved by the last state chairman of the party. However, to shore up the strength of the Justice Forum, he was said to have declared that he was reviewing the resolutions following fresh petitions. "Now, there are two factions of the Mainland exco of the party. During the election and up till now, he uses his friends and cohorts as consultants thus jettisoning the party structures," an aggrieved member said noting that APC canvassers and some agents of the party during the election have not been paid till now.

Aside from this fact, insider sources say polling unit committees set up to administer voting during the elections have mostly remained unpaid till now. Reliably gathered, some ward chairmen had at a time complained to the Governor who, in turn, told them to ask from Ojelabi how the latter expended the N2 billion out of donated campaign funds set aside for that purpose. Confronted, Ojelabi reportedly said he was not aware that his consultants had not paid most Polling Unit committee members. He promised to look into the matter. Since then, those affected say they have remained unpaid.

Checks show that the supposed consultants are not just party members who should ordinarily contribute like others to the party's progress, they are also drawn from his Justice Forum. They include two former commissioners, one from Agege and the other from Alimosho, and the third a former head of one of the parastatals in Lagos. A general belief among party members is that the supposed consultants are channels through which party funds are piped out of the secretariat by the chairman.

Members continue to grudge over his strategy which they claim is a major reason APC lost the presidential election in Lagos. Ojelabi lost the presidential and National Assembly elections in his federal constituency. He lost all the polling units around his Iba/New Site residence too to the Labour Party. A strongly held view among party members is that the APC under his watch would hardly match the fortunes recorded under Chief Henry Ajomale and Tunde Balogun, who once held sway as chairmen. As it is, party members are left confused. They say it does not look like there are structures in place to begin to smarten up from the last election as activities at the APC secretariat are at their lowest ebb.

ONE-MAN SHOW

For some members of the State Executive Committee, the APC secretariat on Acme Road is run more like it is handled by a sole administrator and a member of the party lamented: "you either shape in or fall out. You don't only fall out if you oppose, you also fall out of every favour. Whatever opportunity you have to make a contribution, the chairman thinks he is doing you a favour." According to them members, no other member of the exco has a say in the running of the party. And for his decisions? They are final once he takes them. No recourse to anybody. An evidence of this, they pointed out, is how he had allegedly constantly cowed and intimidated the party secretary and treasurer frustrating them at will. It is a gossip within the secretariat that anybody who tries to oppose him should be ready to face frustration beyond limit.

"His word is law oh! That was how he orchestrated the suspension of an exco member leading to other exco members being mindful, conscious, and scared of making inputs no matter how important and beneficial such would be," an aggrieved party member within the secretariat complained.
In fact, it is claimed that one reason attributed to the loss of the party at the 2023 election was that Ojelabi "moved the secretariat from Acme to an unknown location making it a Herculean task for party chiefs, LGA and ward party chairmen who had complaints about developments during the election from reaching or accessing him.

PARTY LARGESSE/SHARING FORMULA

One baggage that Pastor Ojelabi carries on his shoulders is the allegation that his leadership makes sure that largesse and palliatives to party members are skewed in favour of the Justice Forum within his constituency and the state. This is believed to have happened consistently. Examples are said to have been noted in the federal and state governments' palliatives and cash transfers. One such occasion occurred when he was said to have under-declared the number of palliative slots given to the party at a meeting he held with his exco members. Some of the exco members at the meeting could not stomach this. They openly criticised him at the meeting.

AMBITION 2027

Those kicking against Ojelabi's current style of leadership say he is tilted to achieving an acclaimed goal of becoming the running mate to Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat in 2027. Engineer Hamzat is believed to be eyeing the governorship seat and according to insiders, Ojelabi has mapped out his own plan ahead of the election and has begun "hatching the eggs" by cajoling council chairmen to either belong to the Justice Forum overseen by Hamzat or get their fingers burnt.

CHALLENGE BEFORE OJELABI

A major headache before the party chairman and the exco currently is how to effectively mop up the suspension letters issued out already. It was learnt that leaders within the Governance Advisory Council had blamed him for his shoddy handling of the protest. He was also said to have been reminded that as chairman, he should allow democracy thrive in every of his actions. Coincidentally, while the intervention by the GAC was ongoing, the suspension letters had been released creating for difficulties in retrieving them. The only option left to the chairman was for an outright public denial of the order suspending the members. A press release was issued by the party in this regard, but those already suspended, said the letters sent to the ward chairmen ordering investigation as well as the suspension letters to the members were proofs that the Ojelabi meant to ostracise them. There is no doubting the fact that despite these challenges reeled out, APC in Lagos remains strong in comparison with other political organisations. However, this health, though fragile, is laced with injuries. What is left to be done is for well-meaning party leaders to salvage the party, heal these injuries and make it hale and hearty again.


Ogundele, a political analyst and APC supporter, writes from Lagos.

Just as the court case involving Mr Chizorom Harrison Ofoegbu, a blogger, regarding threat to life he made against the founder of Zion Prayer Movement, Evangelist Ebuka Anozie Obi, was ending, the content creator
who is also known as Ijele Speaks has found himself in more trouble.

Ofoegbu was granted bail on June 14 and the matter is as good as over, but he is now embroiled in another battle as he is billed to appear in an Awka High Court in Anambra State for defamation and cybercrime against the founder of Living Christ Mission, Rev. Prof. Victor Onukaogu, popularly called Daddy Hezekiah.

The blogger is alleged to have defamed the character and integrity of Hezekiah by releasing a video in which he accused the church leader of sexually molesting and abusing young girls in his church. “This man is evil. He is one of the bunch of criminals that destroyed Igbo land”, he stated in the video. He also described the recent celebration of 40 years anniversary of Living Christ Mission as “40 years of this criminal molesting people’s children”.

Also, Pastor Paul Enenche of Dunamis International Church has a petition against Ijele pending with the National Cybercrime Centre for the blogger’s threat to kill the pastor and his family.

Ijele had also released videos in which he threatened to eliminate prominent church leaders including Enoch Adeboye, David Oyedepo, Johnson Suleman and Jeremiah Fufeyin.

He is also known to have courted the ire of members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in another video in which he said he castigated the group’s leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, and said he should be left to die in detention.

It is yet to be seen how Ijele will navigate through the many court cases and the numerous battles he is stirring up.

The Social Media enclave has been agog with the alleged harassment, dehumanization and abuse meted on Lawori, a Nollywood Actor by National Union of Road Transport Worker, NURTW, Member and Leader, Koko Zaria.

Lawori had Alleged that Koko Zaria ordered his Boys to manhandle him, smash a bottle on his head and dehumanize him, but, the reason behind the alleged attack on Lawori is surprising and a mystery which only both parties have answers to.

This has however raised different posers from certain quarters. What could have Transpired between Lawori and Koko Zaria that would have warranted the attack? Why did Koko Zaria's Boys Smashed a bottle on his head when they knew he was the Master of Ceremony at the event? Was it a planned attack?

These and many more questions are begging for answers.

It is no more news that the Yoruba Genre of Nollywood have a good relationship with the NURTW when Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, former NURTW Boss in Lagos State was in the saddle, in which Koko Zaria too wasn't left out and he has appeared In some Yoruba movies.

Lawori, an entertainer and also a Nollywood Actor been at the center speaks volumes.

Though, MC Oluomo and Koko Zaria have not been on the same page since the emergence of Adekunle Mustapha, popularly known as Sego, as MC Oluomo felt Betrayed By Koko Zaria who cross carpeted to the Sego clique when MC Oluomo left the saddle.

It would be recalled that a Group in the Yoruba Movie Industry has warned the warring parties (Lawori and Koko Zaria) not to soil the relationship that has existed over the years between the Yoruba Nollywood Industry and the NURTW, urging them to settle their rift and let peace reign.

Some analysts in the Entertainment Industry are of the opinion that it was necessary for the Police and Security Agencies to Wade into the Lawori and Koko Zaria Debacle as their could be a reprisal attack from the Lawori faction, which may escalate.

They are also of the opinion that the NURTW Boss in Lagos, Sego, should have addressed the situation when it went viral by calling Koko Zaria to unravel what really transpired.

Close observers are also of the opinion that the fracas is brewing up due to the fact that MC Oluomo and Koko Zaria are losing relevance before President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who have also shielded them and given them succour.

There insinuations from the grapevine, that the perceieved rift between the duo of MC Oluomo and Koko Zaria may be stage managed, just for them to gain the attention of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Some are also of the opinion that the Lagos State Government under governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the commissioner for Culture , Arts and Tourism , Mrs Toke Benson-Awoyinka and Commissioner for Transportation, Seun Seun Osiyemi should also address the situation as it is getting worrisome the activities of the NURTW members, who are known for violence, the actors are now afraid of moving around because of this humiliation and unforseen attack from this miscreants.

How Prophet Samuel Akinbodunse Foretold ANC’s Loss of Majority In South Africa Election



The general overseer of Freedom For All Nations Outreach (FANO) is currently being celebrated after accurately foretelling the outcome of South Africa parliamentary election which took place last week.

The election, described as historic, saw the ruling party, ANC, which has been in power for thirty years losing a majority for the first time. The party which has always had more than 50% threshold struggled to have 40% and now has to meet other parties for coalition talk.

This is in fulfillment of the prophecy of Prophet Samuel Akinbodunse which he shared many months before the election. The prophet revealed that the election would be dramatic and was going to be different from every other election that has been held in South Africa.

He warned ANC to seek the face of God to avoid being pushed out of the seat of power. He warned the leadership of the party to genuinely seek God.

These were his words:

These were his words:

‘’South Africa, your upcoming election will be very dramatic and it’s going to be a different election from all other elections that I have ever seen in the history of South Africa. ANC should go and seek the face of God and genuinely go to God. This is not the time to consult ancestors, ANC must return back to the origin of their party. ANC is God’s own party but God has left the party. My eyes opened in my prayers and I saw three quarter of ANC flag in the realm of the spirit out of the house of power and they were trying to push the flag in but I don’t know what was resisting the flag from going inside.’’

As he foretold, the current state of South Africa’s politics has confirmed the prophecy of the prophet.

Moruf Oseni’s Wema Bank Incurs Over N9 Billion In Court Cases

TRIXX NG reports that Moruf Oseni’s led Wema Bank PLC has incurred over N9 Billion in court cases as at December 2023.

This was revealed in the bank’s full year 2023 financial statement which was released recently.

TRIXX NG observed that the previous year’s litigation claims was a little above N8 Billion, indicating that the bank had more legal issues to deal with in 2023.

Meanwhile as at September 2023, the litigations were pegged at N8.067 Billion but within three months, there was an exponential increase in legal damages.

Although litigations are unavoidable in businesses but a continued increase could be dangerous for businesses due to its financial burden.

This also has a lot to do with Wema Bank’s reputation as an increase in litigations could damage the Bank’s reputation which could in turn lead to loss of customers or partners

How soldiers and street urchins invaded and destroyed church building,carted away church properties-RESIDENT PASTOR



It was a horror show on the no. 13 Forlonsho Street mechanic bus stop Ogba Lagos, Ajayi road when some group of Touts and soldiers invaded a Church named his presence Redemption Ministries International chasing members of the church away, destroying and looting some of their properties.

The resident pastor said he was called on the phone when the invasion was taking place as he was not on the Church premises at that very moment. He said that though their security was stationed there at their Church, but couldn’t do anything because of their numbers.

“It happened last week Thursday around 10 am. I was called by the pastor of the church that soldiers and Touts invaded the church premises.


“I tried to relate to them when they called me and it got to a time when I couldn’t talk to a person again because I couldn’t hear anything over the phone and I didn’t know what happened.


“The Touts were many when they invaded the church and they met people having their meetings though we have our security stationed at our premises.

“The meetings were going on when they invaded our church and started beating our members up, bringing the church wall down, climbing, and destroying the roof. Because of the number of their numbers, our members started running away. Ever since they chased everyone away, they locked our gate”.

He further said that they stopped Church members from capturing what’s going down with their cell phones while looting church property.

“This incident happened for almost 6 hours. We later discovered that they started stealing church property and they even stopped our member from videoing what went down that very day by grabbing and smashing their phones and at the same time trying to delete what might have captured them like their faces.

“We found out that they were protecting their faces so we didn’t know who they were or where they came from”.


Speaking further, he said that they don’t really have serious issues with anyone except the one they have with Landlord which is still in court.

“We didn’t have any issue, it’s a church where we held our services every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. The issue we have is the landlord which was the court, that is what we have and it’s still in court”.

He further pleaded to the government to come to their rescue and help them solve the problem because their members are now afraid to come to Church.


“I want the government to come to our rescue because if we’re not safe we cannot be in service and while service is going on, things like this is happening.

“Ever since that day, the church members have not been coming because they’re afraid of what might happen. Even as I speak right now, we don’t have access to our properties because the day they came, they chased everyone away. As I speak now, we also don’t have access to the compound”.


some of the Church members who were around on that very day narrated how they were chased away from the Church premises. A member names Blessing Pedro said they were surprised when their Churxh was overran by their unexpected visitors.

“It happened on Thursday morning by 10 am we were having a meeting at that church, a all of a sudden, we had a group of people, they came in their numbers. Everybody was like what is going on because we weren’t expecting such movement as of that time, so we stood and they were shouting at people and everyone was running around looking”.

Eko Drive recently hosted its second supercar exhibition at the Alliance Francaise, drawing a fervent response from automobile enthusiasts who advocated for more frequent gatherings, suggesting a shift from annual to quarterly events.

The well-attended automotive showcase featured a dazzling array of vintage supercars, ranging from the grand to the compact, and from classics to the latest models, with a particular highlight on coupes and sports cars. The event also showcased creative arts design on a selected Range Rover.

Ademide Osunsina and Imran Claud-Ennin, the founders of Eko Drive, expressed their deep passion for cars and the overwhelming support from a network of car enthusiasts as the driving forces behind the exhibition. Osunsina, the project manager, mentioned their vision to organize rallies and drag race events, not only across Nigeria but potentially across Africa, aiming to redefine automotive culture in the country.

Osunsina expressed satisfaction with the large turnout, interpreting it as a sign that more car enthusiasts are aligning with their mission to promote Nigeria as an attractive destination for car shows.

Imran Claud-Ennin, the event coordinator and creative director, highlighted the exhibition's role in bringing together car enthusiasts of different generations.

Dayo Akinkungbe, owner of a Mercedes SLS Bird wing supercar, praised the organizers for their initiative and encouraged them to continue organizing such exhibitions.

With over 17 cars on display, including Porsche Cayenne, Maybach, Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz coupe, Bravus, Pontiac Chieftain, and other high-end supercars, Eko Drive's exhibition succeeded in bringing together a diverse array of automotive marvels for enthusiasts to appreciate and enjoy.

Members of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Kano state have held a rally to celebrate the governorship election tribunal victory that declared Nasir Guwana as the duly elected governor, sacking NNPP’s Abba Yusuf.

In a video that surfaced on the internet, the chairman of the party in the state was seen in an open roof vehicle leading members of the party in a peaceful rally to celebrate the victory.

Members were seen holding the flag of the APC while the rally was going on.

Yusuf, who contested on the platform of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), was declared the winner of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) after the poll in March.

But on Wednesday, the three-man panel, after hearing the petitions, ordered the withdrawal of the certificate of return which INEC presented to Yusuf and directed a certificate of return to be issued to Gawuna.

The court deducted 165,663 votes from Yusuf’s total as invalid votes, stating that the affected ballot papers were not stamped or signed and therefore declared invalid.
