*CONTINUING ON OUR CURRENT PART IS NOT AN OPTION. WE MUST SEE OUR CHALLENGES AS OPPORTUNITIES TO BUILD A NATION THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE: Dr. Isaiah Paul


Popular Nigerian televangelist, missionary/senior pastor of Wells of Revival Church Inc., and general overseer of Prophet Isaiah Paul Ministries International, Dr. Isaiah Paul, has called on Nigerian security agencies to intensify efforts to rescue the 46 schoolchildren and their teachers abducted by terrorists in Oyo State, as well as other victims of kidnapping across Nigeria.

In a statement on Wednesday, June 4th, 2026, Dr. Isaiah Paul expressed concern over the growing insecurity in the country, describing the trauma faced by victims and their families as heartbreaking. He also lamented the reported killing of a teacher by the abductors.

According to him, the suffering of the abducted children, including a two-year-old, highlights the urgent need to address the nation’s security challenges. He noted that while attention has focused on the Oyo victims, many Nigerians in different parts of the country continue to endure similar experiences.

The cleric warned that residents of South-West Nigeria are increasingly living in fear due to rising violence, adding that other regions have faced similar threats for years.

Dr. Isaiah further argued that Nigeria’s current socio-economic structure leaves millions of young people without quality education, skills, or employment opportunities. He said this situation contributes to the rise of banditry, kidnapping, corruption, and cybercrime.

He urged Nigerians not to wait until conditions become unbearable before discussing the nation’s future, calling for an urgent national conversation on building a more prosperous and inclusive country.

The man of God also challenged the elite class to take the lead in convening such discussions and developing a shared vision for an economically advanced Nigeria that embraces diversity and creates opportunities for all.

“Continuing on our current path is not an option. We must see our challenges as opportunities to build a nation that works for everyone,” Dr. Isaiah Paul said.

A political pressure group in Kogi East has accused the administration of Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo and former governor Yahaya Bello of allegedly taking steps that could undermine the re-election prospects of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the region ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The group, Kogi East Arise Movement, led by Engr. Sunday Anaja, raised the concerns after a meeting held in Anyigba on Thursday. The movement claimed that there were ongoing plans to deny Senator Jibrin Isah Echocho the opportunity to secure a return ticket to the Senate under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to the group, Senator Echocho remains one of the most influential grassroots politicians in Kogi East and has played a significant role in strengthening the APC’s presence across the district’s nine local government areas.

The movement warned that any attempt to sideline the senator in favour of a figure allegedly linked to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar could deepen internal divisions within the party and weaken support for President Tinubu’s second-term ambition in the area.

Members of the group argued that replacing what they described as a loyal APC lawmaker with a candidate perceived to have affiliations outside the party’s progressive bloc could generate resentment among party supporters in the district.

They further stated that voters in Kogi East are politically aware and may resist attempts to impose candidates against the wishes of party members and constituents. The group maintained that Senator Echocho’s performance, accessibility, and loyalty to the APC leadership at the national level have earned him broad acceptance across the senatorial district.

The allegations have continued to generate debate among APC members in Kogi East, with some stakeholders calling on Governor Ododo and Yahaya Bello to focus on party unity and the broader electoral interests of the APC ahead of the 2027 elections.

As political consultations and alignments intensify ahead of the next election cycle, party loyalists have urged leaders of the ruling party to avoid actions capable of creating divisions that could benefit opposition parties in the state.

Over the past few days, political engagements and consultations surrounding the Kogi East Senatorial primary election have remained intense across our district. I have received tremendous encouragement and support from stakeholders, party faithful, youths, women, and the good people of Kogi East who urged me to join the race in pursuit of effective and people-oriented representation. I remain sincerely humbled by the confidence and goodwill shown to me throughout this period.

My decision to indicate interest in the senatorial race was driven by a genuine desire to contribute to the growth, unity, and development of Kogi East, while ensuring that our people continue to enjoy strong and quality representation at the National Assembly. The aspiration was never about personal ambition alone, but about service, inclusion, and the collective progress of our district.

However, after extensive consultations with relevant stakeholders and careful consideration of the broader interest of Kogi East, I have decided to fully support Distinguished Senator Jibrin Isah Echocho Though I may not agree with some of his leadership approaches, he remains the better alternative at this critical moment owing to his experience, political reach, ranking advantage, and capacity to attract greater development and opportunities to our district through strategic leadership and national influence in the National Assembly.

This decision is also in the interest of unity and our collective resolve to speak with one voice as a people, while galvanizing stronger support for the reelection of President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR. Consequently, I hereby urge my supporters and the good people of our district to extend to him the same support and cooperation they have always shown me for the peace, unity, and continued progress of Kogi East.

I also respectfully urge the national leadership of our great party to take a deeper look into the happenings in Kogi State, in the interest of unity, stability, and the long-term progress of the party and people.

The people of Akakana/Ayede Ward in Bassa Komo District of Bassa Local Government Area, Kogi State, are witnessing a significant milestone with the ongoing construction of a bridge across the Kekure/Gudugudu river.

This vital project, facilitated by Rt. Hon. Paul Gowon Haruna (IJN) Member Representing Bassa/Dekina Federal Constituency, is set to improve connectivity, ease transportation, and boost economic activities within the area. For years, residents have faced challenges crossing the river, especially during the rainy season, affecting movement, trade, and access to essential services.

The bridge, once completed, will not only enhance mobility but also strengthen social and economic ties among communities in the district. It stands as a testament to responsive representation and a commitment to grassroots development.

Community members have expressed appreciation for the initiative, describing it as a long-awaited intervention that will positively impact livelihoods and overall development in the ward.

The project reflects a continued effort to deliver meaningful infrastructure that directly addresses the needs of the people.

The attention of concerned stakeholders and loyal members of the All Progressives Congress has been drawn to disturbing allegations surrounding a purported scheme allegedly being perfected to manipulate delegate or electoral outcomes in favour of Joseph Ameh Erico against Distinguished Senator Isah Jibrin (Echocho).

According to the allegations, there are concerns that fictitious results may be allocated in a manner capable of undermining the credibility, transparency, and integrity of the electoral process within the party. If true, such actions would constitute a serious threat to democratic principles, internal party justice, and the collective trust reposed in the leadership of the party.

We therefore respectfully call on the National Working Committee (NWC) and the national headquarters of the All Progressives Congress to urgently take note of these concerns and ensure that all processes remain transparent, credible, fair, and in strict compliance with the constitution and guidelines of the party.

Party unity and public confidence can only be sustained when every aspirant and stakeholder is guaranteed a level playing field devoid of manipulation, intimidation, or the imposition of fabricated outcomes.

We urge the leadership of the party to:

Immediately investigate the allegations thoroughly and impartially;
Ensure that authentic results and due process prevail at all levels;
Safeguard the integrity of the electoral process in the interest of justice and fairness;
Hold accountable any individual or group found culpable of actions capable of bringing the party into disrepute.

The credibility of the party’s democratic processes must not be compromised under any circumstance. Members and supporters across Kogi State and beyond are keenly observing developments and expect the leadership to act decisively in defence of transparency, equity, and party cohesion.

We trust that the National Working Committee will rise to the occasion and protect the integrity of the party and the democratic values it represents.

The recent gathering organized by a handful of individuals in Kogi State, reportedly sponsored by a failed political aspirant against the alleged third-term ambition of Distinguished Senator Jibrin Isah Echocho, is nothing more than a calculated political distraction aimed at misleading the public ahead of the 2027 elections.

Democracy thrives on performance, credibility, and the free choice of the people—not propaganda, blackmail, or media campaigns orchestrated by political actors who fear continuity, competence, and results.

Without doubt, Senator Jibrin Isah Echocho has continued to distinguish himself as one of the most visible, accessible, and impactful representatives Kogi East has produced in recent times. His achievements in human capital development, youth empowerment, educational support, infrastructure intervention, constituency projects, and facilitation of federal opportunities speak louder than politically motivated criticisms.

Those opposing the idea of a third term conveniently ignore the undeniable truth that continuity and experience have consistently benefited many constituencies across Nigeria. In both past and present National Assemblies, several lawmakers have served three terms and beyond because their constituents recognized the value of legislative experience, influence, and effective representation.

Across the country, there are clear examples:

Jibrin Barau rose through multiple terms in the National Assembly to become Deputy Senate President, leveraging experience and continuity for the benefit of his people.
Solomon Olamilekan Adeola has remained highly influential in the South-West through multiple terms, attracting projects and national relevance to his constituency.

Ali Ndume continues to command national influence due to his legislative experience and ranking status.

Ahmed Lawan spent years in the National Assembly before emerging as Senate PrPresident.Orji Uzor Kalu continues to enjoy strong support because of his visibility and contributions.

Danjuma Goje also served multiple terms, strengthening his constituency’s national presence.

David Mark represented Benue South for several terms and rose to become Senate president through continuity and experience.

None of these constituencies rejected competence simply because of “third-term” sentiments. Instead, they benefited immensely from ranking positions, stronger federal connections, and greater bargaining power at the national level.

Today, Kogi East needs a ranking senator with influence, experience, and established national relationships—not political experimentation driven by bitterness, desperation, or selfish ambition.

It is therefore misleading for anyone to suggest that Senator Echocho is disconnected from the grassroots when his empowerment initiatives, scholarship programs, and support for traders, students, women, youths, and vulnerable groups remain visible across the nine local government areas of Kogi East.

The claim that he lacks public support is equally contradicted by the overwhelming goodwill he continues to receive from party leaders, stakeholders, youth groups, women organizations, and ordinary citizens who value effective representation over empty political rhetoric.

No one is imposing Senator Echocho on the people. Like every democratic participant, he has the constitutional right to seek re-election. The final decision rests with APC members and the people of Kogi East—not self-appointed pressure groups seeking political relevance.

Ahmed Usman Ododo remains a democrat who understands the importance of party unity, stability, loyalty, competence, and performance. Supporting tested and credible leaders within the APC should never be mistaken for undermining democracy.

Kogi East must not gamble away experience at a time when seniority, influence, and strategic positioning are critical in attracting federal opportunities and development to the region.

As 2027 approaches, the focus should remain on competence, continuity, results, and strategic representation. On all these counts, Senator Jibrin Isah Echocho remains strongly positioned to continue delivering quality representation and meaningful development for the people of Kogi East.

The recent gathering by a few individuals in kogi sponsored by one failed aspirant against the alleged third-term ambition of Distinguished Senator Jibrin Isah Echocho is nothing but another desperate political distraction designed to mislead the public ahead of 2027.

Democracy is built on performance, acceptance, and the free will of the people not blackmail, propaganda, or media noise sponsored by political merchants afraid of continuity and results.

The truth remains that Senator Echocho has continued to distinguish himself as one of the most visible and impactful representatives Kogi East has produced in recent history. His track records in human capital development, infrastructure support, youth empowerment, educational interventions, federal appointments facilitation, and constituency projects speak louder than politically motivated press statements.

Those attacking the idea of a third term conveniently ignore the fact that experience and continuity have helped many regions across Nigeria attract greater dividends of democracy. In the Nigerian Senate today and in previous assemblies, several distinguished lawmakers served three terms and even beyond because their people saw value in continuity and effective representation.

Examples abound:

• Senator Jibrin Barau of Kano North served multiple terms in the National Assembly and today occupies the highly influential position of Deputy Senate President because of continuity, legislative experience, and the confidence reposed in him by his people.
• Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola (Yayi) has remained one of the most influential senators in the South-West through multiple terms in the National Assembly, using his ranking status and experience to attract projects and national relevance to his constituency.

• Senator Ali Ndume of Borno South has served multiple terms in the Senate due to his influence and legislative experience.
• Senator Ahmed Lawan of Yobe North spent years in the National Assembly and eventually became Senate President.
• Senator Orji Uzor Kalu continues to enjoy the confidence of Abia North because of his visibility and impact.
• Senator Danjuma Goje of Gombe Central also served multiple terms, strengthening his constituency’s federal presence.
• Former Senator David Mark represented Benue South for several terms and rose to become Senate President through continuity and experience.

None of these states rejected experience simply because of “third-term” sentiments. Instead, they benefited from ranking positions, federal connections, and stronger bargaining power at the national level.

Kogi East today needs a ranking Senator with influence, experience, and established national relationships not political experimentation driven by bitterness and selfish ambition.

It is therefore laughable for anyone to claim that Senator Echocho is disconnected from the grassroots when his empowerment programmes, scholarship interventions, support for traders, students, women, youths, and vulnerable groups remain visible across the nine local governments of Kogi East.

The attempt to portray him as unpopular is also contradicted by the massive support he continues to receive from party leaders, stakeholders, youths, women groups, and ordinary citizens who appreciate effective representation over empty rhetoric.

Nobody is imposing Senator Echocho on the people. He has merely exercised his constitutional and democratic right to seek re-election. The ultimate decision belongs to APC members and the people of Kogi East not self-appointed pressure groups.

Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo is a democrat who understands party unity, stability, and the value of rewarding loyalty, competence, and performance. Supporting credible and tested leaders within the APC cannot be interpreted as undermining democracy.

Kogi East should not gamble away experience at a time when seniority and influence matter greatly in attracting federal opportunities and development to the region.

2027 should be about competence, results, continuity, and strategic representation and Senator Jibrin Isah Echocho remains strongly positioned to continue delivering for the people of Kogi East.

Distinguished Senator Jibrin Isah Echocho has officially declared his intention to seek a third term in the Senate, reaffirming his commitment to quality representation and sustainable development across Kogi East Senatorial District.

The declaration, held at the APC Secretariat in Anyigba, attracted a large crowd of party faithful, stakeholders, youth groups, women leaders, elders, and supporters from the nine local government areas of Kogi East.

In his address, Senator Echocho expressed appreciation to Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo, former Governor Yahaya Bello, Deputy Governor Joel Salifu Oyibo, APC stakeholders, and the people of Kogi East for their continued support and confidence in his leadership throughout his time in office.

The lawmaker explained that recent political developments and consultations with stakeholders informed his decision to seek re-election. According to him, his ambition is driven by the desire to continue contributing to the growth and progress of Kogi East, Kogi State, and Nigeria at large.

He stated that he has remained committed to giving effective representation at the National Assembly by consistently advocating for the welfare, needs, and aspirations of his constituents.

Senator Echocho appealed to Governor Ododo, former Governor Yahaya Bello, Deputy Governor Joel Salifu Oyibo, APC leaders, and the people of Kogi East to support his bid for another term in the Senate.

He also acknowledged the contributions of his close associate, YY Okala, the Auditor General, describing him as a loyal ally whose support and commitment have played a significant role in his political journey.

The event witnessed a strong turnout of supporters, with many attendees describing Senator Echocho as a widely accepted and grassroots-oriented leader across Kogi East. Supporters at the gathering openly expressed confidence in his leadership ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Several stakeholders who spoke during the event commended the senator for his empowerment programmes, constituency projects, and developmental efforts across the district. They noted that his accessibility, experience, and connection with the people continue to distinguish him as a dependable representative.

According to the stakeholders, Senator Echocho’s political strength and track record would further strengthen the fortunes of the All Progressives Congress in Kogi East ahead of future elections.

The atmosphere at the APC Secretariat reflected strong support for the senator’s re-election bid, as supporters maintained that his achievements and relationship with the people remain clear evidence of effective representation.

Hon. Paul Gowon Haruna IJN, Member Representing Bassa/Dekina Federal Constituency has expressed deep sympathy with the people of Ogane-Nigu Ward and other affected communities across Bassa/Dekina Federal Constituency following the recent attack that led to the loss of innocent lives and destruction of properties.

In his message of condolence, Hon. Paul Gowon Haruna commiserated with families of the victims and prayed for the repose of the departed souls, while urging residents to remain calm as efforts to restore peace continue.

He also commended the Kogi State Government under the leadership of His Excellency, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, for its swift intervention, as well as the Chairmen of Dekina and Bassa Local Government Areas, Hon. John Urah Ikan and Hon. Theophilus Adama, for their proactive roles in ensuring security is reinforced in the affected areas.

As part of his immediate response to cushion the effects of the crisis, Hon. Paul Gowon Haruna provided relief materials, including food items, to displaced persons taking refuge in Ogane-Nigu, particularly those camped in Etutekpe, as well as victims in Ebeje, Okpakili, Okete, and other affected communities.

The distribution of the relief materials was carried out on his behalf by his Senior Legislative Aide ( SLA), Hon. Achile Salihu, in the presence of key stakeholders, including the Dekina Local Government Chairman, Hon. John Urah Ikan; the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Security Matters in Dekina/Bassa Federal Constituency, Hon. Kabiru Adaji; traditional rulers; community leaders; religious leaders; as well as youth and women representatives.

Reaffirming his commitment to the safety and well-being of his constituents, Hon. Paul Gowon Haruna IJN assured his Constituents of working in close collaboration with both the state and local government authorities to ensure a lasting solution to the recurring security challenges, emphasizing that the protection of lives and property remains a top priority.

Hon. Paul Gowon Haruna called for unity, vigilance, and cooperation among residents as collective efforts continue towards restoring lasting peace and stability in the constituency.

Abuja, Nigeria — A frontline aspirant for the House of Representatives seat in Dekina/Bassa Federal Constituency, Hon. Monday Rizama Albert, has commended the Executive Governor of Kogi State, Ahmed Usman Ododo, for his principled stance on internal democracy and his firm opposition to the imposition of candidates within the ruling party.

In a statement issued in Abuja, Hon. Rizama described the governor’s position as “bold, reassuring, and a true reflection of democratic leadership,” noting that it has rekindled confidence among party faithful and aspirants who desire a transparent and credible process.

He expressed strong belief in the leadership of Governor Ododo and the integrity of the party structure to provide a level playing ground for all aspirants to freely contest for the party’s ticket, rather than imposing unpopular candidates on the people of Dekina and Bassa Federal Constituency.

According to him, “the strength of any democracy lies in the freedom of its people to make choices without coercion. When the process is fair, the outcome will always reflect the will of the people.”

Hon. Rizama further emphasized the urgent need to address issues of equity and fairness within the constituency. He called on stakeholders, particularly from the Dekina axis, to support the emergence of a candidate from Bassa, stressing that the Bassa people have endured prolonged political marginalization despite their contributions to the growth and unity of the constituency.

“In the interest of justice, fairness, and inclusivity, it is only right that Bassa is given the opportunity to represent our federal constituency at this time. This is not just a political appeal, but a moral obligation to correct longstanding imbalance,” he stated.

He noted that his aspiration is rooted in years of grassroots engagement, accessibility, and commitment to the welfare of the people, assuring constituents of purposeful and people-oriented representation if given the mandate.

Reaffirming his loyalty to the party, Hon. Rizama pledged his continued support for the administration of Ahmed Usman Ododo, promising to contribute meaningfully to the realization of the government’s development agenda in Kogi State.

He concluded by appreciating the governor for standing firmly on the side of justice, equity, and democratic values, expressing optimism that such leadership will usher in a new era of inclusive governance and political balance in Dekina/Bassa Federal Constituency and beyond.

In a political landscape often marked by uncertainty and challenges, only a few individuals have navigated it with the level of grace, energy, and composure demonstrated by Alhaji Yusuf Mamman Dantalle, the National Chairman of the Allied People's Movement (APM).

Having had the privilege of working closely with you, I find it both fitting and necessary to commend your foresight. Over the years, you have exemplified patience and persistence. Qualities that are rare but essential in leadership. Your role within the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), where you are currently serving a second term as chairman, reflects not only your sharp leadership acumen but also your unwavering commitment to reshaping Nigeria’s political landscape.

The adoption of the Allied People's Movement (APM) by the Bauchi State government under your chairmanship stands as a testament to the power of resilience, strategic thinking, and dedication. It reinforces the timeless truth that patience and hard work yield meaningful results.

I remain confident in your leadership abilities and will continue to support and celebrate your efforts as you contribute to strengthening democratic values and political development in Nigeria.

Paul Gowon Haruna, a member representing Bassa/Dekina Federal Constituency, alongside the Kogi State Commissioner for Works, Salami Momodu Ozigi Deedat, has met with the Minister of Works, David Umahi, to discuss the deteriorating condition of key road networks in Kogi State.

The meeting focused on addressing the poor state of infrastructure across the state, with particular attention given to critical routes affecting mobility and economic activities.

Speaking during the engagement, Haruna stressed the urgent need for federal intervention, highlighting the deplorable condition of the Dekina/Shintaku Spur.

The road links several communities, including Dekina, Olowa, Abocho, Emewe, and Ogbo Junction, and is considered vital for transportation and local commerce.

He called for the swift construction of the road, noting that improved connectivity would significantly boost economic development and ease movement for residents.

Further discussions also centered on strategies to fast-track the construction of the Dekina/Shintaku Spur, with stakeholders emphasizing its importance to the region’s infrastructure network.

Stakeholders’ engagements within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi State have continued to generate political reactions following a recently concluded meeting where Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo reportedly addressed party stakeholders on the need for unity and internal cohesion ahead of upcoming primaries.

According to accounts from the meeting, Governor Ododo urged aspirants across various positions to support whoever eventually emerges as the party’s candidate, stressing that all aspirants possess capacity in different dimensions and should not see the process as a do or die affair.

He was also said to have refrained from announcing any preferred candidate during the meeting, reportedly cautioning against actions that could trigger internal tension or crisis within the party. The Governor is further reported to be in a separate closed-door engagement with key stakeholders, without the presence of aspirants.

However, the development has continued to generate mixed reactions among aspirants, particularly in the Dekina/Bassa Federal Constituency.

One of the leading aspirants for the House of Representatives seat, Hon. Monday Rizama Albert, has strongly called for fairness and transparency in the party’s selection process. He insisted that the APC must ensure a level playing ground for all contenders, warning against any form of imposition.

According to him, it is no longer acceptable for party leadership to continue selecting candidates without broad consultation and fairness to all aspirants, especially in a constituency that has long expressed feelings of political marginalisation.

Hon. Albert further argued that the time has come for inclusiveness in Dekina/Bassa politics, noting that the people of Bassa, in particular, deserve a stronger voice in representation after years of political exclusion.

In his words, he maintained that “the Bassa people have been sidelined over the years, and it is only proper that fairness is allowed to prevail this time so that every aspirant can test their popularity before the people.”

He called on Governor Ododo and the APC leadership in Kogi State to uphold internal democracy by ensuring that the selection process is transparent, competitive, and acceptable to all stakeholders, warning that imposition of candidates could create dissatisfaction within the party structure.

The developments point to an ongoing internal balancing act within the APC in Kogi State as the party navigates between unity directives from leadership and growing demands for fairness from aspirants on the ground.

ANYIGBA — The political landscape of Kogi East witnessed a major shift on Tuesday as Q.S. Aminu Abubakar Suleiman officially inaugurated a powerful Youth Mobilization Team, setting in motion a coordinated grassroots structure across all nine local government areas of the senatorial district.

The high-profile event, held at Wisdom Home Hotel, Anyigba, drew stakeholders of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), youth leaders, women's groups, and political coordinators from across Kogi East.

The ceremony was chaired by the director general of the campaign, Hon. Zekeri Ohiemi Shaibu, who represented the aspirant, while the event was coordinated by Hon. Ahmed Attah, convener of the Youth Mobilization Team.

A key highlight of the inauguration was the formal presentation of appointment letters to youth coordinators across the nine local government areas. The letters were jointly presented by the director general and the convener, officially activating the grassroots mobilization structure.

In attendance were the Idah Local Government ADC Chairman, Mr. Usman Ibrahim (Minister); Hon. Abubakar Kamar Olachene; Dansebe Ibrahim; and several local government campaign coordinators, including representatives from Idah, Dekina, Ibaji, Ankpa, Olamaboro, Omala, Ofu, Igalamela/Odolu, and Bassa.

The event also attracted prominent personalities such as Mr. Ahmed Ibrahim (Big Dan), Mr. Julius Isah, Mr. Kashim Mohammed, Matthew Ibrahim (Orlando), Mrs. Mariam Baba, Aisha Ibrahim, Ademu James, and others.

Each of the nine local government areas was represented by nine delegates, reinforcing what organizers described as an inclusive, people-driven political structure.

The mission is to build a disciplined, politically conscious, and highly organized youth structure for grassroots engagement and voter education.

The objectives include grassroots mobilization across all communities, voter sensitization and civic education, youth political integration, promotion of unity beyond party lines, and strengthening support for credible representation.

Olachene cautioned youths against political deception, warning them to be wary of individuals who disguise as philanthropists to influence voters without proven leadership capacity. He stressed that philanthropy does not equate to governance competence.

He urged youths to rally round Q.S. Aminu Abubakar Suleiman, describing him as a technocrat with leadership capacity, intellectual depth, and administrative competence to represent Kogi East effectively at the National Assembly.

Speaking on behalf of the aspirant, the director general, Hon. Zekeri Ohiemi Shaibu, described the initiative as a structured approach to grassroots engagement built on inclusion, discipline, and purpose-driven leadership.

Analysts say the inauguration marks a strategic consolidation of support for Q.S. Aminu Abubakar Suleiman ahead of the next electoral cycle, with a strong emphasis on youth participation and structured grassroots engagement.

The development signals a growing political movement centered on competence, unity, and coordinated mobilization across Kogi East.

In every political system where democracy is practiced, the strength of opposition determines the depth of accountability and the quality of governance. For Kogi East, the time has come to rethink its political posture and embrace a more strategic, united, and formidable role in opposition politics. This is not merely about contesting power; it is about safeguarding the future of the Igala Kingdom and asserting its rightful place in the political architecture of Kogi State.

Kogi East has long been a significant political bloc, blessed with population strength, cultural unity, and historical relevance. Yet, political outcomes have not always reflected this strength. The missing link has often been the inability to sustain a coordinated and strategic opposition capable of negotiating power and influencing outcomes. A formidable opposition is not built on noise but on structure, discipline, and long term planning.

The role of elders in this political reawakening cannot be overstated. Elders must rise above personal interests and demonstrate selflessness in political advocacy. The era of fragmented leadership and divided loyalties must give way to collective responsibility. Across the Igala Kingdom, unity must become the central philosophy. When elders speak with one voice and act with sincerity, they provide the moral and strategic compass that younger generations can follow.

Equally important is the role of the youth. The future belongs to them, but the future will not be handed over without preparation. The youths of Kogi East must become the drivers of a new political reengineering. This requires political awareness, active participation, and the courage to think beyond immediate gains. They must embrace organization, data driven mobilization, and modern political engagement tools. Energy without direction leads nowhere, but energy guided by vision can transform a region.

One critical lesson Kogi East must learn is the politics of “locking down votes,” a strategy that has proven effective in other parts of the state, particularly in Kogi Central. Political success is not accidental; it is the result of deliberate planning, grassroots penetration, and electoral discipline. Every ward, every polling unit, and every community must be treated as a strategic asset. The culture of last minute mobilization must give way to continuous engagement and structured voter consolidation.

Furthermore, the search for a viable and credible aspirant must begin now, not at the eleventh hour. Leadership recruitment is too important to be left to chance. Kogi East must identify individuals with competence, character, and capacity. Beyond popularity, such aspirants must possess strategic thinking, emotional intelligence, and the ability to unify diverse interests. At the same time, political strategists must quietly return to the drawing table. Effective politics is often silent in preparation but loud in execution. Planning must be meticulous, discreet, and focused on long term victory.

Being formidable in opposition does not mean being antagonistic for its own sake. It means being organized, purposeful, and ready to offer credible alternatives. It means building alliances, strengthening internal cohesion, and positioning the region as an indispensable force in state politics.

Kogi East stands at a defining moment. The choice is between continuing in a cycle of political reaction or stepping into an era of intentional strategy and unity. If the elders embrace selflessness, the youths take responsibility, and the political class commits to discipline and planning, then the region will not only become formidable in opposition but also inevitable in leadership.

The future of Kogi East will not be determined by chance. It will be defined by preparation, unity, and the courage to act.

Rotr. Khalid Bala (Khalid Kay)
Media Aide to Hon. Paul Gowon Haruna, IJN
Member Representing Bassa/Dekina Federal Constituency

The Member representing Bassa/Dekina Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Paul Gowon Haruna IJN, has distributed food items to constituents as part of efforts to support families ahead of the forthcoming Sallah celebration.

The distribution exercise, which took place across communities within the constituency, benefited numerous households and was aimed at easing the burden on families during the festive period.

Speaking during the exercise, Rt. Hon. Haruna reaffirmed his commitment to the welfare of his constituents, noting that the gesture was part of his continuous effort to support the people, especially during important religious and cultural celebrations.

Beneficiaries who received the items expressed gratitude for the timely intervention, describing it as a thoughtful initiative that would help many families celebrate the Sallah season with joy and dignity.

The lawmaker also urged residents of Bassa and Dekina to continue to promote peace, unity, and mutual support among themselves as they mark the celebration.
The food distribution forms part of Rt. Hon. Haruna’s ongoing community support initiatives aimed at improving the well-being of people across the Bassa/Dekina Federal Constituency.

Rotr. Khalid Bala (Khalid Kay), Media Aide to the lawmaker, stated that the initiative reflects the representative’s dedication to responsive and people-oriented leadership.

In the evolving landscape of Nigeria’s security architecture, sustained reform and stable leadership remain indispensable. It is in this context that we, representing a coalition of civil society organizations, publicly commend the Honourable Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, for his resolute and reform-driven stewardship of the Ministry of Interior.

Under his leadership, the ministry has demonstrated renewed vigor in strengthening internal security institutions and promoting accountability across its agencies. These efforts have not gone unnoticed by stakeholders committed to national development and public safety.

Particularly noteworthy is the leadership of Abubakar Audi Ahmed, OFR, mni, Comptroller General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC). Since assuming office, he has championed significant institutional reforms aimed at enhancing operational efficiency, improving personnel welfare, reinforcing discipline, and strengthening the protection of critical national assets and infrastructure.

The progress recorded within the NSCDC in recent years is not incidental; it is the product of deliberate restructuring, strategic capacity-building initiatives, and a firm commitment to professional excellence. These reforms have positioned the Corps as a more responsive and effective component of Nigeria’s broader security framework.

As his tenure draws to a close, we strongly and respectfully urge the Honourable Minister to consider a tenure extension for the Comptroller General. The scale and depth of the reforms underway require continuity of leadership to ensure consolidation and long-term sustainability. Premature disruption at this stage risks slowing the momentum that has been painstakingly built.

Such a decision would align seamlessly with the Renewed Hope agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, which emphasizes institutional strengthening, national security enhancement, and sustainable governance reforms. Ensuring leadership continuity within the NSCDC would reinforce the administration’s commitment to these objectives.

Nigeria’s security challenges demand consistency, competence, and courage in leadership. We believe that extending the tenure of the current Comptroller General represents a strategic and forward-looking step in safeguarding the gains already achieved.

We remain confident in the Honourable Minister’s patriotism and sound judgment and trust that this appeal will receive favorable consideration in the broader interest of national stability and prosperity.

Nigeria’s security sector reforms must not only begin well—they must end well.

President, National Youth Amalgamation Umbrella of Nigeria

In the landscape of Nigeria’s emergency management sector, few names resonate with as much distinction and professional gravitas as Olumode Samuel Adeyemi. As the Comptroller-General of the Federal Fire Service, he stands as a symbol of disciplined leadership, visionary reform, and unwavering commitment to public safety.

With over two decades of experience in firefighting and fire service administration, Dr. Adeyemi’s career reflects steady growth built on competence, courage, and character. Rising through the ranks, he has become one of the most influential figures in Nigeria’s fire and emergency management architecture. His journey is not merely one of promotion but of purpose—anchored in service to nation and humanity.

A defining hallmark of his leadership has been the implementation of one of the largest retraining programs in the agency’s history. This ambitious initiative was designed to modernize firefighting skills across Nigeria, ensuring that personnel are equipped to confront evolving fire risks with contemporary techniques and global best practices. Through this reform, Dr. Adeyemi demonstrated a technocrat’s instinct: strengthening systems by investing in people.

Beyond operational reforms, he has been a passionate advocate for fire safety awareness and progressive legislative updates aimed at enhancing regulatory efficiency. His approach recognizes that prevention, policy, and preparedness are as vital as emergency response itself. By bridging technical expertise with administrative foresight, he has elevated the Service’s role within Nigeria’s broader emergency management framework.

As Deputy Controller-General in charge of Operations and Strategy, Dr. Adeyemi led critical nationwide interventions during major fire outbreaks. His commanding presence, strategic coordination, and calm decisiveness during crises earned him professional admiration and institutional trust. His expertise spans fire prevention, command operations, and public administration—qualities that define him as a well-rounded and forward-thinking leader.

Dr. Adeyemi’s academic accomplishments further underscore his technocratic depth. Holding a PhD in Molecular Epidemiology, a Master of Business Administration (MBA), and a Professional Master’s Degree in Disaster Risk Management and Development Studies, he represents a rare blend of scientific rigor, managerial competence, and disaster-response scholarship. His fellowship in respected professional bodies such as the Association of National Accountants of Nigeria (ANAN) and the Institute of Corporate Administration of Nigeria reflects his multidisciplinary influence and commitment to professional excellence.

Under his stewardship, the Federal Fire Service is poised for transformative growth. His vision includes modernization of equipment, decentralization of emergency response structures, and intensified community-based fire safety education. More ambitiously, he seeks to reposition the Service as a multi-mandate emergency management body capable of responding effectively to a wide range of crises beyond conventional firefighting.

In eulogizing Dr. Olumode Samuel Adeyemi, mni, we celebrate more than a career—we honor a technocrat whose leadership is defined by structure, reform, and national service. His legacy is not only in fires extinguished but also in systems strengthened, capacities built, and a nation made safer through informed and principled administration.

He exemplifies the power of expertise guided by vision—an enduring testament to what dedicated public service can achieve.

The National Youth Coalition for Good Governance has commended the Comptroller General of the Federal Fire Service, Samuel Olumode Adeyemi, for what it described as his unprecedented leadership and unwavering commitment to national service.

In a statement released on Tuesday and signed by its National Coordinator, Comrade Daniel Ameh, the coalition praised Dr. Adeyemi for demonstrating what it termed “a strong willingness to serve with sincerity of purpose,” noting that his administration has reflected professionalism, transparency, and accountability.

The group, which advocates for the promotion of good governance and institutional reforms across Nigeria, said it has closely monitored the operations and reforms within the Federal Fire Service under Dr. Adeyemi’s leadership. According to the coalition, the comptroller general has shown exceptional leadership qualities that have strengthened the operational efficiency and public perception of the agency.

“Dr. Adeyemi has displayed remarkable administrative competence and a clear vision for repositioning the Federal Fire Service to meet contemporary challenges,” the statement read. “His dedication to duty and strategic leadership approach stand as a model of responsible public service.”

The coalition further noted that effective emergency response institutions are critical to national development and public safety, adding that the Fire Service under Dr. Adeyemi has demonstrated renewed focus and organizational discipline.

While reaffirming its commitment to supporting leaders who uphold principles of good governance, the National Youth Coalition urged other public officeholders to emulate the standards of integrity and service it attributed to the Fire Service boss.

The group concluded by encouraging sustained reforms and continuous improvement within the agency to further enhance service delivery to Nigerians.

The Controller General of the Federal Fire Service, Olumode Samuel Adeyemi, on Monday visited the scene of the recent fire outbreak at Singa Market in Kano as part of efforts to assess the damage and strengthen fire safety measures across the state’s commercial centers.

The visit followed a directive from the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, after a fire incident that occurred at the market on Saturday. Firefighters were still at the scene conducting damping-down operations to prevent any re-ignition.

During the inspection, Adeyemi assessed the operational response and engaged with emergency personnel, commending their efforts in containing the fire and protecting nearby properties. He described their swift action as critical in limiting further losses.

As part of stakeholder engagement, the Controller General also met with leaders of the Singa Market Development Association (SIMDA) and the Abubakar Rimi Market Traders Association (AMATA). Discussions focused on practical strategies to reduce fire risks in densely populated trading areas.

Addressing traders and association leaders, Adeyemi conveyed the minister’s concern over the incident and announced plans to establish strategically located fire stations in major markets across Kano State. According to him, the initiative is aimed at significantly reducing emergency response times and ensuring a permanent fire service presence within commercial hubs.

He urged traders to collaborate closely with the Fire Service, stressing that fire prevention requires shared responsibility, prompt reporting of emergencies, and strict adherence to safety regulations.

Leaders of SIMDA and AMATA welcomed the proposal and pledged their cooperation with the Federal Fire Service to enhance safety standards and prevent future incidents in the markets.

The National Youth Coalition for Good Governance has unanimously passed a vote of confidence in Dr. Mustapha Abdullahi, Director-General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN), citing what it described as his “exceptional leadership and transformative vision” for Nigeria’s energy sector.

In a statement issued on Sunday in Abuja, the coalition commended Dr. Abdullahi for demonstrating strong commitment to reforming the country’s energy landscape within a short period in office.

According to the group, the ECN under Abdullahi’s leadership has prioritized youth empowerment through the launch of skills acquisition programs, internship placements, and mentorship initiatives that have reportedly benefited thousands of young Nigerians nationwide.

The coalition also highlighted ongoing infrastructure development efforts aimed at improving energy access, promoting renewable energy solutions, and enhancing energy efficiency. These initiatives, it said, are contributing to economic growth and strengthening Nigeria’s energy security.

In addition, the group noted improvements in human capital development within the commission, particularly through enhanced capacity-building programs designed to promote professionalism and operational excellence among ECN staff.

Chairman of the coalition, Comrade Daniel Ameh, described the ECN Director-General as “a true champion of Nigeria’s energy transformation.”

“Dr. Mustapha Abdullahi’s dedication to empowering youths, driving infrastructure development, and investing in human capital is exemplary. We have confidence in his leadership and look forward to continued success,” Ameh stated.

The coalition further pledged its continued support for Abdullahi’s policies and initiatives, emphasizing that his leadership has fostered innovation, transparency, and accountability within the commission.

Stakeholders in the energy sector will be watching closely as the ECN continues to implement reforms aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s energy framework and supporting national development goals.

The Kogi State Executive Council of the City Boy Movement convened a strategic meeting on Saturday in Lokoja as part of efforts to strengthen its grassroots structures ahead of its forthcoming State Executive Council inauguration.

According to participants, the meeting focused on consolidating the movement’s presence across local government areas, wards, and polling units throughout the state. Leaders described the session as forward-looking, with deliberations centered on reinforcing the organization’s framework to ensure effective coordination and grassroots mobilization.

Key objectives discussed during the meeting included the harmonization of existing structures, activation of ward and polling unit coordinators, and the establishment of clearer communication and reporting channels. Members also explored strategies aimed at improving inclusivity and operational efficiency at all levels of the organization.

The Executive Council emphasized unity, collective responsibility, and strategic engagement with stakeholders across the state’s local government areas. Leaders noted that strengthening internal structures would be critical to achieving the movement’s goals in the weeks leading up to the inauguration.

As preparations continue, the Kogi State chapter reaffirmed its commitment to building what it described as a strong, coordinated, and people-driven platform. Outcomes from the strategic session are expected to guide mobilization and organizational activities across the state in the coming weeks.

The meeting concluded with members expressing readiness to intensify grassroots engagement ahead of the scheduled State Executive Council inauguration.

Abuja, As Nigeria’s capital city continues to attract residents and investors, the real estate sector remains one of the most visible drivers of economic activity. Amid this dynamic environment, Ojoa Global Homes Ltd has emerged as a real estate company worth noting for its expanding services, market visibility, and client-focused messaging.

Founded and headquartered in Kubwa, Abuja, the company has positioned itself as both a property developer and a comprehensive real estate service provider. While it is still building its portfolio compared with larger, more established firms in the city, its current trajectory reflects key trends shaping property development and investment in Nigeria’s capital.

A Diverse Range of Real Estate Services

Ojoa Global Homes Ltd operates across several segments of the real estate industry, aiming to provide a holistic experience for clients and investors:

Property Development

The company develops, markets, and sells residential plots and housing units in several locations across Abuja. These include high-demand neighbourhoods such as Kubwa, Maitama II, Jahi, and Lugbe, where population growth and infrastructure development are increasing land and property values.

Property Marketing and Sales

Through active online promotion and community advertising, the company connects buyers with available land and developed estate plots. These marketing efforts help potential homeowners and investors explore opportunities without always having to visit in person first.

Facility and Property Management

After selling or handing over properties, Ojoa Global Homes Ltd also provides facility and property management services — a key component for ensuring that estates remain well-maintained and administratively efficient for residents.

General Contracting

Beyond sales and management, the company engages in general contracting—coordinating and overseeing construction and development activities. While detailed project records are not widely published on independent industry sites, this function indicates a move toward end-to-end real estate service delivery.

Strategic Market Positioning in Abuja

What sets Ojoa Global Homes Ltd apart from some smaller brokerages is its attempt to build a recognizable brand and digital presence. The company regularly uses social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram to share property listings, estate features, and messages aimed at building long-term relationships with clients and investors.

This focus on visibility aligns with broader industry trends in Abuja — where companies that actively engage online, offer clear contact information, and maintain consistent messaging tend to attract more inquiries and build awareness faster.

Abuja’s Real Estate Landscape: Context Matters

Understanding Ojoa Global Homes Ltd also requires looking at the broader real estate market in Abuja, which includes several well-established developers:

Major industry players like Brains & Hammers Ltd and Cosgrove Investment Ltd are widely recognized for large-scale estates, luxury homes, and smart housing innovations.

Aspire Homes

Other firms such as Bilaad Realty and Urban Shelter Ltd are noted for their focus on sustainability, infrastructure, and mixed-income housing solutions.

AI Realent

Leading industry rankings often highlight features like land verification, transparent pricing, flexible plans, and documented track records as key criteria for top performance.

Everview Properties Limited

Compared with these large, long-standing names, Ojoa Global Homes Ltd. is still emerging—but its combination of services, targeted neighborhood focus, and active client engagement reflect how new real estate firms are positioning themselves to compete in a vibrant market.

Why Ojoa Global Homes Ltd. Is Gaining Attention

Experts and property watchers point out several factors that help explain why Ojoa Global Homes Ltd is becoming notable:

Broad Service Spectrum

By encompassing development, marketing, sales, management, and contracting, the company offers a suite of services that traditional land brokers do not always provide.

Targeted Neighbourhood Presence

Focusing on emerging and strategically located districts such as Kubwa and Lugbe positions the company in areas with strong demand and potential value appreciation.

Brand Visibility

An active online presence helps the firm reach a wider audience, particularly younger buyers and diaspora investors who rely on digital platforms to explore property options.

Investor and Buyer Orientation

By presenting investment-focused opportunities and estate showcases, Ojoa Global Homes Ltd appeals not only to homebuyers but also to those looking for long-term property assets.

What Buyers and Investors Should Consider

While the company’s offerings and market engagement are positive signs, industry analysts emphasize a few key factors that any property buyer should check before committing to a real estate investment in Abuja:

Documentation and approvals: Ensure properties have clear titles and government-verified documentation.

Everview Properties Limited

Physical site inspections: Visiting the site in person helps verify infrastructure and development quality.

Amapha

Transparent pricing: Ask for detailed agreements and payment terms.

Everview Properties Limited

These best practices help reduce common risks in Nigeria’s property market, where due diligence remains essential for secure investment decisions.

Conclusion

Ojoa Global Homes Ltd is a real estate company on the rise in Abuja’s competitive property market. Its comprehensive services, focus on strategic locations, and active branding efforts reflect the characteristics of emerging firms that are expanding beyond traditional brokerage roles. While still building its reputation compared with larger industry leaders, Ojoa Global Homes Ltd represents an important part of Nigeria’s evolving property landscape—especially for buyers and investors seeking accessible and diversified real estate solutions in the nation’s capital.

As Prof. Tenuche bows out of office tomorrow, Prince Abubakar Audu University pauses to salute a rare breed of leadership woman in nature, man in actions. This is not a line of contradiction; it is a crown of honor. It speaks to grace fused with grit, compassion anchored by courage, and intellect matched with fearless execution. In every sense, she ruled like a woman-king.

Her tenure was marked by quiet strength and loud results. She steadied the institution during moments that demanded firmness, choosing principle over popularity and systems over sentiments. Where processes were weak, she rebuilt them. Where standards were slipping, she restored them. And where hope wavered, she gave direction.

Why many regard her as a Woman-King:

Decisive Leadership: Prof. Tenuche took hard decisions without fear or favor, always guided by the long-term good of the university rather than short-term applause.

Institutional Discipline: She insisted on due process, accountability, and respect for academic and administrative rules resetting the culture of responsibility.

Academic Integrity: Standards mattered. Research, teaching quality, and ethical conduct were non-negotiable, and she defended them with uncommon resolve.

Inclusive Governance: While firm, she listened, creating space for dialogue, dissent, and collaboration across staff unions, faculties, and management.

Crisis Management: In moments of tension, she chose calm authority over noise, solutions over blame, and unity over division.

Capacity Building: She encouraged growth supporting staff development, mentoring younger academics, and strengthening institutional competence.

Legacy over Tenure: Her focus was never personal glory but structures that would outlive her office.

She led with the heart of a woman and the backbone of a warrior empathetic yet unyielding to compromise, humane yet relentless in pursuit of excellence. That balance is rare. That balance is royalty.

As she exits office, she leaves behind not just policies and projects but a standard—a reminder that leadership can be both tender and tough, soft-spoken, and steel-strong.

Thank you, God Almighty, for the wisdom, strength, and grace He bestowed upon her throughout this journey, and we pray that the seeds she planted will continue to bear fruit for generations to come.

Prof. Tenuche, your reign is written. Your crown is earned. History will remember you as the woman-king who led with courage and conscience.

You will be greatly missed.
