Alleged Genocide: Christian Council says Trump’s intervention is an answered prayer, not an invasion.

The Christian Council of Nigeria (CCN) has urged Nigerians to view the recent US designation of the country as a “Country of Particular Concern” (CPC) not as an invasion, but as a call to tackle the nation’s decades-long insecurity challenges.

In a statement signed by Most Rev. Dr. David Onuoha, President, and Rt. Rev. Dr. Evans Onyemara, General Secretary, CCN said: “This is not the time to debate the existence of Christian persecution in Nigeria. Political, ethnic, and religious divisions must be set aside so that all Nigerians can work together to confront this crisis decisively. Instead of spinning conspiracy theories around the US warning, leaders should focus on collaborating with international partners to confront these enemies of humanity, whether local or foreign.”

CCN emphasized that the continued lack of political will to stop the widespkkread violence including killings, kidnappings, banditry, and religious intolerance is a grave reflection of Nigeria’s deteriorating mooral and governance standards. “Every life lost diminishes our humanity and offends the image of God. While insecurity is not new, protecting citizens remains the sacred duty of any government,” the council said.

The faith-based organization called on all Nigerians of goodwill to pray fervently for the nation, stressing that peace is not merely the absence of war but the presence of justice. CCN reaffirmed its commitment to working with government, civil society, and international partners to build a just, peaceful, and united Nigeria where every individual’s dignity is protected.

“History will be kind to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu if he seizes this opportunity to end the long-standing killings in the country. Every right-thinking Nigerian should pray for him to have the wisdom and courage to act decisively,” the statement concluded.

NNPP Denies Plans to Endorse Tinubu for 2027 — “We’ve Made No Such Decision,” Says Party Chairman Agbo Major



The National Chairman of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Agbo Major, has firmly denied speculations that the party plans to adopt President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as its presidential candidate in the 2027 general elections.

In an exclusive interview with DAILY POST, Agbo Major clarified that the NNPP has not taken any formal decision to align with President Tinubu or the All Progressives Congress (APC), emphasizing that such claims are unfounded.

“There are two separate issues here — individuals within the party who may be eyeing the APC, and the party itself as an institution,” he said.
“It is not unusual for political parties to explore collaborations for national stability, but as a party, the NNPP has made no such move or decision to adopt Tinubu or merge with the APC.”


Agbo Major also addressed the ongoing wave of defections from opposition parties to the ruling APC, clarifying that former NNPP members, including Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, who were expelled from the party, are acting independently and not on behalf of the NNPP.

Speaking on the political future of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State, Agbo Major noted that the governor’s case was “peculiar.”

“Governor Yusuf came into the NNPP through Kwankwaso’s movement and won the election. However, since assuming office, he’s been under intense control from Kwankwaso, who dictates his every move from Abuja,” he explained.
“If the governor decides to leave NNPP to free himself and serve the people of Kano more effectively, that’s understandable. We won’t hold it against him.”


When asked whether Kwankwaso and Governor Yusuf could coexist in the APC, Agbo Major expressed doubt.

“It would be very difficult for both men to work together again under one roof unless the governor completely surrenders himself. Kwankwaso is extremely domineering — loyalty to him is total.”


Agbo Major’s statement comes amid growing political realignments ahead of the 2027 elections, as key figures across major parties reposition themselves for influence and power.

Father of Late Bilyaminu Bello Reveals He Pleaded with President Tinubu to Pardon Maryam Sanda.

The biological father of the late Bilyaminu Bello, Alhaji Ahmed Bello Isa, has expressed his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s decision to grant presidential pardon to his daughter-in-law, Maryam Sanda, who was convicted for the murder of her husband in 2017.

Speaking during a joint interview in Abuja with Maryam’s father, Alhaji Garba Sanda, Alhaji Bello disclosed that he had personally appealed to President Tinubu for clemency, saying his request was driven by humanitarian reasons and compassion for his two grandchildren.

According to him, executing Maryam would not bring back his son but would only deepen the tragedy by leaving the children without parental care.

“As a devout Muslim, I accepted the tragic event as the will of Allah. I have forgiven Maryam for what happened,” he said. “Before the end of the trial, I appealed to both the police and the court to drop the case because I did not want my grandchildren to lose their mother after losing their father. If she were executed, who would raise them with love?”

Reacting to reports that some members of the family opposed the pardon, he maintained that everyone is entitled to their opinion but emphasized that, as the biological father, he has fully forgiven Maryam.

On his part, Alhaji Garba Sanda, Maryam’s father, expressed profound gratitude to Alhaji Bello and his family for their extraordinary show of forgiveness, describing it as “a true act of faith and humanity.”

“Words cannot express how grateful we are for this gesture of mercy and reconciliation. We pray that healing continues for both families and that the children grow up surrounded by love and peace,” he said.

Both families reaffirmed their decision to embrace forgiveness, compassion, and unity, pledging to work together to raise the late Bilyaminu’s children in an environment of peace and love.

Personality, Not Party, Will Decide 2027 Elections – Prof Ahmad

Professor Ahmad has said that the 2027 general elections will not be decided by party loyalty but by the strength of individual personalities.

On the State of the PDP

Speaking on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he emphasized that the party remains strong despite past setbacks:

“We are still in PDP. We are not planning to leave. The party may rise and fall, but right now PDP is rising. We are preparing for our convention in Ibadan, and we will move forward.”

When asked about governors who left the party, Ahmad insisted:

“Governors don’t make parties; parties make governors. People make parties, not individuals.”

On Court Cases After Elections

Addressing concerns that the PDP failed to challenge election results in 2019 and 2023, he clarified that the party did, in fact, go to court:

“In 2023, several local governments, including mine, went to court. I personally went to court. Anyone claiming PDP didn’t go to court is not telling the truth.”

He recalled irregularities during collation in his local government, saying results were altered but not announced at the collation center because officials feared public backlash.

On Bukola Saraki and APC Rumors

Responding to claims that former Senate President Bukola Saraki was aligning with the APC, Ahmad dismissed the reports:

“These are fantastic lies. Saraki has invested his time and energy in rebuilding PDP. If he had anything to do with Tinubu or APC, PDP would have collapsed by now. The ADC narrative was just a flash in the pan.”


He added that PDP remains open to reconciliation with other groups:

“PDP has a large heart. Our friends in ADC or elsewhere are welcome. Let’s work together to rescue this state and the country from APC.”


On 2027 Elections

Ahmad predicted that Nigerians will prioritize individual credibility over party lines in 2027:

“People will look at candidates and say, ‘You are good, but not in my party, yet I will vote for you.’ Or, ‘You are in my party, but you are not good, so I won’t vote for you.’ Party loyalty will not decide 2027—it will be about personality.”


On Electoral Reforms and Tinubu’s Legacy

Ahmad stressed the need for credible elections to restore faith in democracy. He urged President Tinubu to enshrine Immediate Result Electronic Filing (IREF) into the constitution:

“From the polling unit, results should be uploaded directly to INEC’s portal. That alone will stop manipulation. Forget long lists of amendments—just constitutionalize IREF, and Nigeria’s democracy will change forever.”


He warned that without credible elections, democracy in Nigeria would continue to lose respect internationally.

“If President Tinubu truly loves Nigeria, he should deliver electoral reforms. That will be his lasting legacy.”

Ganduje, Barau Rally Kano APC Stakeholders for Tinubu’s 2027 Re-election

Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, and Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin, on Thursday, led prominent party stakeholders from Kano State in declaring full support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid.

The strategic meeting, held in Abuja, brought together key APC heavyweights who also vowed to reclaim Kano State from the ruling New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).

Among those present were the Minister of State for Housing, Alhaji Abdullahi Atta, Senator Kawu Sumaila, House Appropriations Committee Chairman, Hon. Abubakar Kabir Abubakar, and former Kano governor, Senator Kabiru Gaya, alongside several other party chieftains.

Speaking at the gathering, Ganduje emphasized the importance of unity within the APC in Kano and the need to consolidate support for President Tinubu:

“We are here to reaffirm our loyalty to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and to ensure that Kano remains a stronghold of the APC in 2027. We must work together to return our party to power in the state and strengthen the President’s chances of re-election.”


His remarks were echoed by Barau, who described the stakeholders’ commitment as a collective resolve to guarantee continuity of the Tinubu administration.

Insiders revealed that plans are underway for grassroots mobilisation across all 44 local government areas of Kano State, as part of a broader strategy to weaken NNPP’s hold under Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.

The leaders stressed that unity, early preparation, and grassroots engagement would be critical in countering the opposition and ensuring APC’s dominance in Kano ahead of 2027.

The meeting marked a renewed determination among Kano APC leaders to rally behind Tinubu’s second-term project while simultaneously strategizing to wrest control of the state from the NNPP.

Wike Hails Gov. Umo Eno for Defecting to APC, Urges Support for Tinubu’s 2027 Bid

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has applauded Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, for leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing the move as a step towards unity and development.

Wike gave the commendation on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, during the commissioning of the 15.13km Ikot Esu–Otomo–Azumini road in Ika Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.

According to him, political alignment among leaders will accelerate development in the state:

“Unity brings progress. When leaders work together, more projects will come to Akwa Ibom,” Wike said, praising Governor Eno for collaborating with Senate President Godswill Akpabio and aligning with the APC.


The FCT Minister also lauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, noting that his administration has increased funding for states to deliver impactful projects. He urged Akwa Ibom people to support Tinubu’s re-election in 2027, stressing that continuity would guarantee more growth.

In his remarks, Governor Umo Eno echoed the call for unity beyond party lines, insisting that development must take precedence over politics. He highlighted the new road’s significance, especially as it connects Akwa Ibom to Abia State, and assured residents that his administration would avoid burdening the state with unnecessary debts.

Eno also issued a three-month ultimatum for the completion of the Mbiabong–Atan–Ikon–Inya road, warning contractors of possible termination if deadlines are not met.

The governor reaffirmed Akwa Ibom’s support for President Tinubu’s economic reforms, describing the current administration as one gradually restoring stability and confidence to the country.

PDP BoT, Zoning Committee Hold Crucial Meetings Ahead of NEC Session

Members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees (BoT) and the party’s Convention Zoning Committee on Monday held separate but strategic meetings in Abuja as preparations intensify ahead of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for later today.

The zoning committee, chaired by Bayelsa State Governor, Duoye Diri, convened at the Legacy House to finalize recommendations on the zoning of key party offices, including the 2027 presidential ticket, while the BoT gathered at Wadata Plaza. Their resolutions will be presented before the NEC for ratification.

In its session, the BoT emphasized the importance of unity and urged all party members to work together to ensure that the National Convention, slated for November 15, 2025, proceeds as planned.

Meanwhile, PDP governors have reaffirmed their commitment to the NEC’s July resolutions on the convention, warning against any attempts to derail the exercise. They described the PDP as Nigeria’s strongest democratic platform and a viable alternative to restore the nation to good governance and development.

The latest developments highlight the PDP’s resolve to put internal disputes aside and solidify its strategy ahead of the 2027 elections.

We’ll Soon Expose Terrorism Financiers in Nigeria – Chief of Defence Staff.

Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has said the process of identifying and prosecuting terrorism financiers in the country is already underway.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, Musa explained that the delay in naming those involved was due to legal and international complexities. “The process is on. The delay has to do with legal issues and international connections.

Some of the funds come from outside Nigeria, so we can’t act alone. But we know them,” he said, noting that others operate within the country. According to him, local financiers often recruit individuals, provide them with motorcycles, and receive daily cash deposits into accounts that are currently being tracked. He emphasized that the movement of such funds is under close surveillance.

Musa commended the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) for its role in tracing financial links to terrorism, noting that arrests have already been made.

“I can assure you that the Attorney-General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, and other agencies are working seriously to address the matter,” he added.

The Defence Chief also disclosed that the State Security Services, National Intelligence Agency, and other security outfits are investigating politicians suspected of sponsoring insecurity for personal gains. “Criminals collaborate. Bandits and terrorists work together because they share the same goal—making money and inflicting suffering on communities,” he said.

The move follows Trump’s renewed clampdown on immigration since his return to the White House in January 2025.

In a related development, the administration has also introduced a new visa bond policy requiring applicants from countries with poor records of visa overstays to deposit between $5,000 and $15,000.

The pilot programme, which began this week, is aimed at ensuring visitors leave before their visas expire. According to the State Department, the rule also affects individuals who obtained “citizenship by investment” without residency obligations, with designated airports overseeing compliance.

Minister Bianca Ojukwu Meets Ghana’s Foreign Minister Over Anti-Nigerian Protests.

Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, has urged calm amid rising tensions following viral videos of anti-Nigerian protests in Ghana.

Speaking during a joint press conference in Accra with Ghana’s Foreign Minister,Samuel Ablakwa,she assured that the situation on ground was not as alarming as portrayed online. In a statement issued by her media aide,Magnus Eze,she explained that President Bola Tinubu sent her as a special envoy to investigate the situation firsthand. “We are here on a fact-finding mission following recent disturbances that circulated in Nigeria

But since arriving,we haven’t seen protests or unrest in the streets,”she said.She attributed the relative calm to swift intervention by the Ghanaian authorities. Odumegwu-Ojukwu emphasized the importance of the historic relationship between Nigeria & Ghana and warned against spreading inflammatory content that could inflame tensions.

She said her delegation had met with government officials, community leaders,and individuals involved in the issue to ease concerns.

"Why I served food at Imo state event"- Peter Obi

Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has disclosed why he served food at an event Imo State recently.

A photograph that had gone viral of Obi serving people food at an event, had sparked debate on social media.

However, Obi explained that he served food because many of the poor attendees requested that he serve them personally.

He said the Jubilee of Hope is designed for the rich in the society to “come down from their high places,” and serve the poor.

Posting on X, Obi said there was nothing special about what I did.

He wrote: “My weekend activity of serving food at a special event has been generating interest, as expectedly, because leaders in our society have removed the service component in leadership.

“It’s sounding strange that I was seen serving food to people. Let me be clear, that event was not about me. It was called the Jubilee of Hope, and its purpose is straightforward, to remind us all that true leadership is service, and that those who have must never forget those who do not.

“When I attended the Jubilee of Hope in Imo State, it was a private service event. I did not post about it, nor did I invite media coverage. Unfortunately, some third parties, completely outside of my team, shared photos and videos. As expected, the usual naysayers and paid agents went to work trying to twist something sincere into something political.

“But let me restate the heart of the matter, the Jubilee of Hope is designed for the rich to come down from their high places, even if just for a moment, and serve the poor, not as a show, but as a symbol of the society we must build. A society anchored on empathy, equity, and responsibility.

“I was not the only one who served that day. Many well-meaning and distinguished Nigerians also participated, people like Cardinal Onaiyekan, Senator Osita Izunaso, former Chairman of Seplat Plc, Dr. A.B.C. Orjiako, and many others, quietly and sincerely. It wasn’t about the cameras; it was about conscience.

“I am genuinely surprised that this simple act has become a topic of discussion. As Governor, I always served others whenever we had events. Even now, in private life, I do not have a house help. When guests visit my home, I serve them myself. I live simply, I sweep, I clean, because for me, humility is not a campaign strategy; it is a way of life.

“At the Jubilee of Hope, I stayed longer because many of the poor attendees requested that I serve them personally. I could not ignore them. That was the only reason. Otherwise, there was nothing special about what I did. Service is not special, it is expected.

“We cannot speak of building a New Nigeria while ignoring the hungry, the forgotten, and the poor. Events like this must not remain symbolic, they must become cultural. Public office holders, business leaders, and everyday citizens must unite in lifting others.

“Let us work together to build a country where hope is not seasonal, and dignity is not a privilege, but a right. A New Nigeria is POssible.”

Obasanjo Urges Stronger African Economies to Lead as Growth Stalls Across the Continent.

Obasanjo has warned that Africa’s major economies must grow first before weaker states can achieve shared prosperity.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, on Thursday said African countries must collaborate to realise their economic aspirations, noting that growth had retarded in the continent in recent times.

He spoke at the 2025 Annual Meetings of Afreximbank, with the theme, “Building the Future on Decades of Resilience”, in Abuja.

Obasanjo said for Africa to achieve economic prosperity, its leading economies including Nigeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and South Africa among others, must first grow as expected before helping weaker economies such as Morocco, Kenya and Senegal to grow.


He alluded to the fact that economic prosperity cannot be realised in isolation – as stronger economies needed to pull the weaker ones along to achieve an all-round growth that will be inclusive.

But he expressed worry that the so-called major economies have themselves experienced slower growth, talk of assisting smaller countries.

Referring to them as “lions and cubs”, the former president said stronger and weaker nations must work together to clear economic obstacles and trade with one another.

Yet, he declared that there are “country’s that must make it (grow) for Africa to make it together.”

Dear VeryDarkMan (@VDM),

In the long and complex history of Nigeria, countless voices have risen with a common goal — to see this country become a place of justice, progress, and unity. Today, I want to acknowledge and appreciate all those who have fought and are still fighting for a better Nigeria.

But this message is especially for you.

Your courage, boldness, and relentless pursuit of truth continue to inspire many across the nation. You speak up when others remain silent. You challenge systems that seem too powerful to confront. And you remind us that real change comes when we refuse to look away from what is wrong.

I dedicate this post to you, VeryDarkMan. May God strengthen and protect you. May we all live to see the Nigeria you speak of — a country where leaders and citizens work together for real and lasting change. A nation where fairness, dignity, and opportunity are not the privilege of a few, but the right of all.

Thank you for being a voice that refuses to be silenced. We see you. We stand with you. And we believe, together, we will build the Nigeria we all deserve.

With respect and solidarity,

What is my point?
My point is that there are so many ways of getting to your final destination.
GOD may not take you through the same path/ road/ route/ way He took your mom, dad, friend, or colleague.
What matters is that He will take you to your destination if you don't give up.
At times, you get there by adding things and people in your life.
At other times, you will get there by subtracting certain things and people from your life.
At some other times, you may need the multiplying effect of seed, information, and relationships...
At other times still, division and separation might be inevitable...

Some of these may not be fun."
When 2 was alone, it may not have been comfortable until 5 was added to make up 7.
What matters is not the addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division...
Yes, the process may differ. But the destination is still the same...
All things will work together for your good and expected end... Don't give up on the process!*
You are a 'tool'. Do not reject the Lord when He adds and subtracts things.
Do not resist. In the process, learn to let go when He subtracts.
Stop crying, lamenting, and drowning in tears of self-pity and fear of moving on.
Every circumstance is building you for the castle the Lord has prepared for you.
All things will work together for your good... Head or tail you will win.
Don't give up on the process. Don't walk away from the game...
The match has already been decided in your favour...

Here is my conclusion and answer;

YOU WILL BE WHAT GOD HAS DESTINED YOU TO BE, BY HIS GRACE, AS YOU YIELD TO HIM.

DON'T BOTHER ABOUT THE PAST, LEARN FROM IT & LOOK AHEAD.

DON'T LOOK BACK AT PEOPLE'S UNNECESSARY HATRED AND ENVY BUT LET YOUR GAZE BE ON JESUS

Do your best, be prayerful, and leave the rest to God Almighty.

There's no way all fingers can be equal.

Be thankful Always to God.
Have a pleasant weekend and a blessed Sunday.
