Commenting on how leaders appropriate illegal wealth to themselves while in office, Mr. Falana, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, questioned where the former leaders got their monies from.

The Archbishop of Abuja Archdiocese, John Cardinal Onaiyekan on Tuesday called for the arrest of clerics who incite violence through their sermons.

The revered clergy likened such religious leaders to Boko Haram, stating that terror acts in Nigeria started from preachings of violence.

He spoke to newsmen at a workshop on Preventing Violent Extremism in Nigeria, organized by Club De Madrid in collaboration with the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA).

Onaiyekan said:“In my own opinion there is enough in the law in Nigeria to curb reckless speaking, if somebody stands up on his pulpit in church and start inciting his members to go and kill others,

“He has committed a crime under the Nigerian Law, he should be arrested, which is not happening.

“They would say if you touch religious leaders there would be backlash. Let the backlash come for goodness sake, so that we can get out of all this mess.”

He noted that Boko Haram did not spring up and start shooting on the first day, insisting that the sect incited its followers through hateful speeches.

“We must learn from our past mistake, while we defend freedom of worship and freedom of speech, there is obviously a limit as to how far you can carry your freedom.

Nollywood actor and film director, Yomi Fash-Lanso, has condemned people who have criticised Governor Ayodele Fayose for not coming to the rescue of Moji Olaiya’s family in the repatriation of her remains from Canada.

A few hours ago, Fash-Lanso on his Instagram page condemned and cautioned the burial committee of the Late actress who have criticised the Ekiti State governor adding that the attitude of Nollywood members towards the demise of the actress should be condemned as well.
He wrote, “What is condemnable here is the entitlement attitude of the committee and perhaps of very many sympathisers which are not only regrettable but unfortunate.”

He explained that Nollywood members are not different from the ordinary Nigerian and therefore needed no special treatment. He said it was time we realized that Moji or any other Nigerian has no business going to Canada or elsewhere for healthcare services.

He reiterated that Bola Tinubu’s move to fund the repatriation of Moji’s body to the country should not be used to castigate Fayose.

“Moji’s memory does not deserve this. What should be the norm? What should be the attitude of Nollywood to the rot in our system that has ensured several members and as a matter of fact, several Nigerians die daily for ailments that are manageable and for deaths that are preventable?

“Anyone using the occasion of the largesse of the Jagaban to create an unnecessary divisive and patronising narrative needs his or her head examined for not only being mischievous but out rightly missing the point.

The only surpport Buhari have now is life surpport.

The Sokoto State Commissioner, Bello Mohammed, has lashed out at Northern leaders and elite from the region, saying they are not ready to support the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

Speaking at the ongoing maiden Northern Nigeria Solid Minerals and Workshop in Kaduna State, Mohammed maintained that only lips service is being paid, as there is no visible action to back all the talk revolving around diversification.

The Commissioner also lamented that Northern elites are not keying into the economic diversification programme of the Buhari’s government.
Mohammed said, “The North is not yet ready to support President Buhari’s government. It is evident by not registering presence overwhelmingly in this hall.”

He noted that despite the North boasting of 90 per cent of solid minerals in the country, a fact that can greatly boost its bargaining power in the union of Nigeria, it seems comfortable to be relying on revenues from the Federal Government.

Mohammed, however, stressed that his state governor, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal is committed to keying into the diversification programme.

The Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has revealed the reason behind the declaration of a three day fast for the president, Muhammadu Buhari, who is currently in the United Kingdom on health grounds.

The state governor while describing the president as the only medicine the country needs to overcome challenges precipitated by corruption said: “Buhari remains the medicine for Nigeria. Despite his age, he is willing to add value, instil discipline and wipe away corruption in Nigeria.”

He continued: “Before him, nobody was bold enough to confront corruption. It is good for Nigerians to pray for him. For us in Benue we have declared three days fast for Buhari for his quick recovery so that he can come back to work for us. “We have no business with poverty in Nigeria but indiscipline and corruption have combined to keep us down. We need Buhari to take us to the Promised Land.”

Speaking on the anti-grazing bill recently passed into law by the Benue State House of Assembly, the state governor said: “We in Benue State have a job to do and we will certainly do it. The anti-grazing bill does not say herdsmen should use gun and kill people. We are not sending any herdsmen away from Benue but they must ranch their cattle under the law.

Adegboruwa said “A coordinator is a Person of equal status with others. So the Vee Pee cannot make appointments or sack anybody while the President is away. He cannot discipline any erring minister. He is limited in policy decisions, as a coordinator. He has no power of control over the "Cabal" to whom the president has handed over power, albeit illegally.”

The delegation met with the leaderships of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI), youth leaders, security agencies and traditional rulers of the two communities.
