  • King Charles to proceed with Vatican visit despite pope’s pneumonia

    King Charles to proceed with Vatican visit despite pope’s pneumonia

    Britain’s King Charles III’s planned state visit to the Vatican in early April will go ahead despite Pope Francis’s hospitalisation for pneumonia, Buckingham Palace said on Tuesday.

    Charles, who is the head of the Church of England, is scheduled to meet his Catholic counterpart on April 8, according to the palace’s programme. A Buckingham Palace source expressed “our hopes and prayers that Pope Francis’s health will enable the visit to go ahead”.

    The king wrote to Francis when the 88-year-old pontiff was struck down with pneumonia in both lungs, for which he has been receiving treatment in Rome’s Gemelli hospital for more than a month, the source added.

    Charles is set to be accompanied by his second wife Camilla on his April 7 to April 10 visit to the Holy See and Italy, his first to both as king.

    After his Vatican visit, Charles will meet Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and President Sergio Mattarella.

    He is set to become the first British monarch to address a sitting of the Italian parliament, according to Buckingham Palace.

    His last visit to the Holy See was in 2019 when he likewise met Pope Francis.

    After revealing in February 2024 that he was being treated for cancer, the 76-year-old sovereign has since October resumed his trips abroad.

    The Church of England split from the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century, after Pope Clement VII refused King Henry VIII’s request to annul his first marriage to Catherine of Aragon.

    In response Henry launched the English Reformation, making himself supreme leader of the country’s Church and steering it towards Protestantism.

  • Army urges Akwa Ibom residents to avoid shooting range during training exercise

    Army urges Akwa Ibom residents to avoid shooting range during training exercise

    The 2 Brigade of the Nigerian Army, based in Abak Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, has announced plans to conduct its first quarter range classification exercise.

    In a statement released on Monday evening, the Acting Assistant Director of Army Public Relations, Lieutenant Adebowale Adejimi, disclosed that the exercise is scheduled to take place from March 19 to March 28, 2025 at the 6 Bn Range Area in Abak LGA.

    He urged residents to stay away from the designated areas and not to be alarmed by the sound of gunfire during the period.

    “Headquarters 2 Brigade, 2 Brigade Garrison, and other sub-units will be conducting the First Quarter Range Classification Exercise for the year 2025 at the 6 Bn Range Area in Abak LGA from March 19 to March 28, 2025,” the statement read.

    “We kindly appeal to the good people of Abak LGA to stay off the designated exercise area and not to panic at the sound of gunshots. Adequate measures have been put in place to ensure safety and security at the range and surrounding areas.”

    The Army also called on the public to help spread awareness of the exercise for the safety of residents.

  • Otti signs Abia electricity bill into law

    Otti signs Abia electricity bill into law

    UMUAHIA- Abia State Governor Alex Otti has signed into law, the Abia State Electricity Bill which empowers the State to regulate its electricity market.

    Speaking while assenting to the executive bill at the Governor’s country home, Umuehim Nvosi, in Isiala Ngwa South council area, Otti explained that with the law, the government has been vested with the capacity to implement the law, stressing that the state would soon set up Abia State Electricity Regulatory Authority, ASERA.

    The Governor stated that the 64-page law would support the power initiatives of the government which will stand the test of time, and would also strengthen the plans of government to extend power to the remaining 8 council areas of the State which are not included under the Aba ring-fence arrangement with Geometric Power Limited covering 9 council areas.

    He said; “This is a document that will stand the test of time. It is a document that will protect the investment of everyone that wants to invest in Abia. It is also a document that speaks renewable energy.

    “The remaining 8 local government areas in the State that are not under the Aba ring-fence, we are working hard to bring them under the Umuahia ring-fence.

    “So, this legislation would support that initiative and we are very close to signing an MoU moving forward in that direction. It also would protect prospective investors in power generation.

    “In fact, our dream is that if we are able to provide all the required power for Abia, then we will be able to also wheel some power to other parts of the South East and South South regions to support them and earn some fees for doing that.

    “When we started to look at the electricity bill, I think that was towards the end of 2023, given that the law had already been passed at the national level by the former President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.

    “It does appear that the arrangement was set up for Abia. The simple reason being that Abia State is probably the only State that has a ring fence area. I am not aware if there is any other State that has it.

    “Of course, there is embedded power left, right and centre, but Aba Power was the only independent, integrated power integrated because it is from generation through transmission to distribution.

    “I was engaging with Geometric Power the other time and they said with the capacity they have, they will be able to wheel power to Umuahia from the plant and maybe some other parts of the South East without necessarily incurring additional costs other than getting a turbine and putting it in place because all the other infrastructures are already in place.”

    He lauded the State House of Assembly for the speedy passage of the bill and the development partners for their input.

    “I want to thank the State House of Assembly for the passage of this bill that emanated from the executive, speedily but carefully.

    “I think I must put it on record that Abia State is lucky to have the 8th Assembly. It is an Assembly of people, who are exposed, well educated in various fields.”

    Presenting the bill to the Governor, the Speaker, Abia State House of Assembly, Hon. Emmanuel Emeruwa said that Abia State is on the right path with the electricity bill.

    He described the bill as a milestone achievement, stressing that it is a big business investment for the State and that the State House of Assembly understands the Governor’s vision and is committed to ensuring that he actualises his vision for the state.

    Earlier, the Commissioner for Power and Public Utilities, Mr. Ikechukwu Monday, noted that the State leveraged the Electricity Act of 2023 which allows States to legislate on electricity to initiate the bill.

    He disclosed that the State considered what would work specifically in Abia State before coming up with the bill, adding that the bill provides for power generation mainstreaming, protection against vandalism, distribution and regulations.

    He further stated that the Abia State Electricity Regulatory Authority would soon be established and commended the Governor for realizing the vision of providing independent power for the State which is part of his election manifesto.

    He also thanked the Speaker and the development partners for their support.

    “This law is an offshoot of the Electricity Act 2023 which empowered States to form a Regulatory body to regulate and create an electricity market. This law as well will encourage local participation and local content.

    “We have made provisions in the law to encourage local participation.

    “May I use this medium and opportunity to thank His Excellency for the support he provided to my team and our partners to make sure that we realize this great milestone today.”

  • Breaking: Explosion rocks Trans-Niger Pipeline in Rivers

    Breaking: Explosion rocks Trans-Niger Pipeline in Rivers

    An explosion has rocked the Trans-Niger Pipeline at Bodo, Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State.

    The affected section of the major pipeline is currently on fire, though the exact cause of the explosion remains unknown at this time.

    Authorities have yet to determine whether the incident resulted from human interference, especially amid recent threats by militant groups to attack oil installations in response to the Federal Government’s withholding of Rivers State’s allocation due to the ongoing political crisis.

    The explosion reportedly occurred on Monday night along the critical export pipeline that transports crude to the Bonny Terminal.

  • Rivers also needs “Lagos Treatment”

    Rivers also needs “Lagos Treatment”

    President Bola Tinubu is expected to bring his “magic touch” to fix the Rivers State political crisis just as he did in dousing the heat rocking the Lagos State House of Assembly.

    In the Lagos case, the president’s intervention was in favour of reinstating Mudashiru Obasa as Speaker while his opponent, Mojisola Meranda, reverts to her position as Deputy Speaker. Tinubu soothed frayed nerves in the two camps by inviting them to the State House in Abuja and the two sides came out of the meeting singing his praises, showing the crisis was apparently over.

    Following the Supreme Court verdict that recognised the Martin Amaewhule-led 27-member House of Assembly and the stoppage of federal allocations to Rivers State until the Court’s verdicts are fully implemented, the question arose as to how to proceed without worsening the situation.

    While Governor Siminalayi Fubara had pledged to implement the judgement to the letter and cooperate with the pro-Wike House of Assembly, the latter appears determined to double down on the advantage offered by the verdict. This is understandable because Governor Fubara had used his executive powers to sideline them since the crisis started about 16 months ago. They appear set to start impeachment proceedings against him.

    This situation is stoking ethnic sentiments that were largely under wraps in the state since the return of civil rule in 1999. Some pro-Fubara Ijaw groups have been breathing fire and brimstone if the governor is removed, a threat that Wike waved aside in a recent media briefing.

    We are worried over this unhealthy build-up. We strongly believe that the Supreme Court verdict, no matter how unpalatable it might seem to some, can be implemented without compromising the peace and development of Rivers State. This can only be achieved if all sides resist the temptation of riding rough-shod over the others to press home their seeming advantage.

    In this kind of situation, “might” may not be “right”. The two sides may not be in the mood to exercise diplomacy and implement the verdict through consensus. That was exactly the situation that the Lagos Assemblymen and women found themselves in until the president intervened in a fatherly manner.

    We call on him to adopt the same attitude towards the implementation of the Supreme Court verdict in Rivers State. We suggest the president holds private talks with Governor Fubara and Minister Wike and commits them to peace and hold them responsible in case of a breach of the peace.

    All court cases should be withdrawn, the impeachment threat against the Governor must be dropped, while the entire House of Assembly should reconvene under Amaewhule. Outstanding entitlements of the 27 lawmakers must be paid.

    No side should be allowed to push its luck too far. Everything must be done to preserve the peace.

  • IPOB rejects alleged blackmail over Monday sit-at-home, calls for Nnamdi Kanu’s release

    IPOB rejects alleged blackmail over Monday sit-at-home, calls for Nnamdi Kanu’s release

    The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has accused the Nigerian government and military of attempting to use the controversial Monday sit-at-home order as a means to discredit the movement.

    In a statement signed by IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful, the group reaffirmed its commitment to self-determination and called for the unconditional release of its detained leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

    IPOB claimed that security agencies had played a role in enforcing the sit-at-home despite the group’s official suspension of the order. The statement suggested that the government aimed to turn the Igbo population against IPOB by attributing economic disruptions to the movement.

    The group stated that its members and the Eastern Security Network (ESN) had been working to protect the South-East from external security threats. It also alleged that certain groups had been responsible for acts of violence in the region while falsely operating under IPOB’s name.

    “The Nigerian Army and Police have been patrolling rural communities on Mondays, and some youths have been arrested, which contributes to the enforcement of sit-at-home,” the statement read. “IPOB had suspended the order after its first successful compliance and has consistently condemned any form of violent enforcement.”

    The group further claimed that certain individuals had been recruited to commit crimes in the name of IPOB, but following recent arrests abroad, such activities had reportedly reduced.

    IPOB maintained that the only way to end the sit-at-home was through the release of Nnamdi Kanu and engagement in dialogue. It urged the Nigerian government to shift its focus toward resolving security challenges in other parts of the country rather than suppressing civil actions in the South-East.

    “If the Nigerian Army is truly committed to national security, they should also focus on addressing broader security challenges affecting other regions,” IPOB stated.

    The group urged the federal government and South-East governors to engage in meaningful discussions with the people rather than relying on forceful measures. IPOB reiterated that its movement is rooted in non-violence and called for the recognition of the concerns of the Igbo people.

    “The Nigerian government should engage in dialogue and consider peaceful solutions,” the statement added. “The release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will address many of the concerns leading to the sit-at-home.”

    The Monday sit-at-home protests were initially declared by IPOB in 2021 to demand the release of Nnamdi Kanu. Although IPOB officially suspended the order, some groups continued to enforce it, leading to disruptions and security concerns in the region.

    While efforts have been made to restore normalcy, many businesses and residents in the South-East still observe the sit-at-home due to lingering concerns about safety.

    As the situation unfolds, attention remains on the government’s response to IPOB’s demands and efforts to stabilize the region.

  • Man United to hike season ticket prices by around 5%

    Man United to hike season ticket prices by around 5%

    Manchester United have announced ticket price increases for next season, just days after revealing plans for a new £2 billion ($2.6 billion) stadium.

    Season ticket prices will rise by approximately 5%, while tickets for fans under 16 will remain unchanged. However, some senior ticket concessions have been removed. Additionally, the club is converting select seats near the Old Trafford benches into hospitality tickets to boost revenue.

    Last week, co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe warned that without his investment and cost-cutting measures—including 450 staff redundancies—United would have run out of money by Christmas. The following day, he confirmed plans for the new stadium project.

    CEO Omar Berrada defended the price hike, emphasising the club’s need to manage rising costs while maintaining financial stability.

    “We appreciate the loyal and patient support of our fans, and particularly our season ticket holders who represent the core of our match-going support base,” Berrada said in a statement.

    “We understand the importance of their backing for the team and have worked hard to come up with a pricing package that is fair and reasonable.

    “After 11 consecutive years of price freezes, we increased prices by 5% for the past two seasons and intend to do the same for next season to offset continued rises in operating costs.”

    He added that ticket prices remain lower than they were a decade ago when adjusted for inflation and are comparable to those of other major clubs in northwest England.

    In January, the Manchester United Supporters Trust (MUST) urged Ratcliffe to freeze ticket prices. Fans had previously criticised the club for mid-season price increases, which raised matchday tickets to £66 without concessions for children or seniors.

    Acknowledging supporters’ concerns, Berrada said that with rising costs and ongoing financial challenges, it was necessary to implement a small increase.

  • Dangote, Amosun bicker over demolition of cement factory in Ogun

    Dangote, Amosun bicker over demolition of cement factory in Ogun

    ABEOKUTA — THE President of Dangote Industries, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, yesterday, alleged that his cement plant in Itori, Ewekoro local government area of Ogun State was demolished twice by the Governor Ibikunle Amosun administration, including the factory’s fencing during the second demolition.

    However, in a swift reaction to the allegation, the former Ogun State governor said that Dangote does not possess requisite approvals for constructing the structures he alleged were demolished.

    Speaking when he visited his new Cement factory located in Itori Ewekoro local government area of the state, Dangote commended Governor Dapo Abiodun for persuading him to return and resume construction of the plant, which is now nearing completion and expected to commence operations next year.

    Dangote said: “I think it is good we have it on record that the (cement) factory we are visiting now in Itori, you know it was because of His Excellency (Dapo Abiodun) that we came back.

    “That factory was demolished twice. We started, and Governor Amosun demolished it. The second time, we started again; he demolished not only the factory, including the fencing, so we left.

    “But, right now, we are coming because of His Excellency my brother, Prince Dapo Abiodun. We are now back.”
    He said the facility will feature two 6,000t/day clinker production lines, covering limestone crushing, cement packaging, and shipping, further solidifying Ogun State’s status as an industrial powerhouse.

    He said: “Dangote Cement is Africa’s leading cement producer with 52.0Mta capacity across the continent, of which almost 70% of our production is based in Nigeria. Our Obajana plant in Kogi State is currently the largest in Africa with 16.25Mta of capacity across five lines; the Ibese plant in Ogun State has four cement lines with a combined installed capacity of 12Mta; Gboko plant also in Benue state has 4Mta; and Okpella plant in Edo State has 3Mta. By the time we deliver Abidjan and Itori, we will be at 61mm tons per annum next year.

    “It is on record that our investment in cement manufacturing made Nigeria self-sufficient in the product, effectively ending importation and marking its transformation into a cement exporting nation.

    “We repeated the feat in the production of fertilizer as Nigeria is now self-sufficient, with the surplus going for the export market thereby generating foreign exchange earnings for the country.

    “We rolled out automotive gas oil (AGO) in January 2024 and Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) in September 2024 from our 650,000 barrels per day petroleum refinery located in Ibeju-Lekki. Other products from the refinery include aviation fuels, LPG, and carbon black.

    “The refinery can meet domestic demand for all refined petroleum products. Today, we have repeated the cement story, where a country that was once a net importer of a product, is now exporting refined petroleum products.

    “Additionally, we have also commenced the production of Polypropylene at our petrochemical complex.
    “At Dangote Industries, our goal is to make Nigeria self-sufficient in whatever we consume, because we have the natural resources for the domestic manufacturing of these products and commodities.

    “This is tested by the influx of many manufacturing firms setting up their plants here. I especially would like to commend specially, my good friend and brother, the Governor of Ogun State for your vision, and deliberate policies that focus on attracting enterprises through immense support for the private sector which is now attracting investors”.

    “We have also received tremendous support and encouragement from both the traditional ruler and the good people of Itori land, which enabled the speedy takeoff of the project.

    “Similarly, we enjoyed such tremendous support from the traditional rulers in Yewa Land and host communities of Ibese Cement Plant. We are grateful for such an overwhelming show of partnership and support and ask that this same level of support be extended to the operations of the plant.

    “Nigeria is a growing economy; the developmental challenges are quite enormous and require concerted efforts to overcome them. This is why private companies should complement the government’s efforts. It is in this light that we, at Dangote Industries, continue to demonstrate our belief in this nation and its people and make investments that are targeted towards transforming the economy of the nation through our work in Ogun State as we have done elsewhere.”

    I won’t be bullied or blackmailed — Amosun

    While reacting to the allegation, Senator Amosun, who spoke through his Media Aide, Lanre Akinwale said that Dangote did not possess requisite approvals for constructing the structures he alleged were demolished.

    The former governor said: “We want to appeal to Alhaji Dangote to avail the public of the requisite approvals for the construction of the structures he alleged were demolished.

    “This will, at least, help the public to put the issue in proper context and for us to know what exactly his grouse is.

    “For us, as a government, we believed that there could not be two governments in a state, and Dangote, therefore, could not operate above the law or under a different set of laws.

    “It is important to note that at the commissioning of his Ibese Cement factory, Dangote praised the Amosun administration to high heavens for its promotion of investments in Ogun State and for facilitating the commencement of the cement factory after eight years of frustration as he then alleged by other administrations.

    “Dangote is just one of the many ongoing concerns in Ogun State, and the Amosun administration is on record to have attracted over 500 companies to the state and was acknowledged by the World Bank as one of the top three states ensuring Ease-of-Doing-Business in Nigeria.

    “While we will not give vent to this obvious mischief as it is deliberate, we will advise Alhaji Dangote to furnish the public with details of the land acquisition with relevant planning approvals, and let us engage in a constructive conversation therefrom.”

    “However, while we will wait to hear from him, we would like to state that not all Nigerians can be compromised, bullied or blackmailed. The notion that everyone has a price is an expression applicable only to people with weak foundations and questionable upbringing. This is why some of us will continue to uphold high standards in all our undertakings, irrespective of whose ox is gored.”

  • Police arrest man for allegedly strangling girlfriend to death in A-Ibom

    Police arrest man for allegedly strangling girlfriend to death in A-Ibom

    UYO—OPERATIVES of the Akwa Ibom State Police Command have arrested one Ndifreke Nelson for allegedly strangling her girlfriend, identified as Emem Effanga, to death in her apartment over phone.

    The Police Public Relations officer, Timfon John, in a statement, yesterday, said the suspect was arrested in a church in Uyo, where he attempted to escape to upon sighting police operatives.

    Her words: “Operatives of the Akwa Ibom State Police Command have arrested one Ndifreke Nelson for alleged murder of his girlfriend, Emem Effanga (39) and stealing her mobile phone after committing the crime.
    “Sometime in February 2025, the command received a report that the deceased was found dead in her apartment under suspicious circumstances.

    “Upon arrival at the scene, operatives observed visible marks of violence on her face and neck, suggesting she had been strangled and beaten to death.

    “The scene was processed, evidence documented and the body was evacuated to the hospital, where she was confirmed clinically dead by medical personnel. The corpse was, thereafter, deposited at the mortuary for preservation and autopsy.

    “Following swift investigations, detectives traced the last person seen with the deceased to be Ndifreke Nelson, who had visited her residence on February 6, 2025, the morning of his birthday.”

    The PPRO added that during interrogation, the suspect confessed to visiting the victim that morning and demanding to use her phone to take pictures for his birthday celebration on social media, and when she refused, a struggle ensued, during which he overpowered her, strangled her and struck her head on the floor with his fist, leaving her unconscious before fleeing with her phone.

    “One Itel Super Phone, belonging to the deceased, was recovered from him at the time of arrest. A post-mortem examination has been conducted, and the cause of death has been officially documented by a pathologist. The suspect will be charged to court.”

    “The Commissioner of Police, Baba Azare, has assured that justice will be served and warned against all forms of domestic violence and criminal acts. He urges the public to remain security conscious and report suspicious activities to the Police,” John further stated.

  • Seyi Tinubu deserves some medals, not attacks – Balami

    Seyi Tinubu deserves some medals, not attacks – Balami

    The criticism by some individuals of the recent tour of the north by Seyi Tinubu has been termed needless and politically motivated by foremost All Progressives Congress chieftain and youths advocate, Comrade Isaac Balami.

    He said the call by Nigerians and Lagosians on Seyi Tinubu to take a shot at the Lagos State Governorship position may have motivated the sudden campaign of calumny.

    Addressing the media in Abuja on Monday, the former spokesperson of the Trade Union Congress, TUC and ex-national president of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers said he would have preferred to write Seyi Tinubu to express his gratitude to him for going far into the north with his usual humanitarian and selfless nature, but chose to rather express his feelings in the media so unaware and misled Nigerians could learn from it.

    According to Balami, rather than being attacked for being selfless, Seyi Tinubu should be awarded some medals for all he has done for the unity and progress of the country and for extending his humanitarian work to all parts of the country regardless of religion and political affiliations.

    While terming the criticism that greeted his recent visit to the north as needless and politically motivated, Balami said, “the haters of Nigeria know that what Seyi Tinubu is doing will amount to not just victory for himself, but victory for young people.”

    He said until Seyi Tinubu was approached by young people to run for the highest office in Lagos State, his patriotic acts never offended the sensibility of some haters.

    Balami said as he continues to reach out to none tribal youths and the less privileged, Mr Tinubu appears to be gearing towards winning a medal of peace and unity.

    He also said, Many Nigerians would want their children to be like Seyi Tinubu., saying, “Of course, who is that parent whose prayer is not to have a child who is dedicated to doing the will of God as against doing the will of men?

    “Nigerians should rather call on young politicians, local government administrators and other young entrepreneurs to emulate Seyi Tinubu by supporting individuals who are truly in need and not to discourage this young man.

    “Mr Seyi Tinubu had started this Iftar reach-outs 10-15 years ago when the father was not the nation’s president. Are some people saying he should quit because the father is the current president? What, therefore, is wrong should the son of the president reaches out to those in need or genuinely shares some moments with northern Muslims at their quiet and prayerful time?

    “The most ridiculous is the insinuation that his gesture was politically motivated. Even if Seyi is doing this for political reasons, what is wrong?

    “We know how children of presidents behave. Many won’t come down from their high horses, but Seyi has continued to do what most children of presidents have never done. He is down to earth. So what would Nigerians prefer, a Seyi who parties all around the world or a Seyi who is sensitive to the needs of his people? I’m sure some Nigerians will be happy to see the son of the president partying away in Dubai and all around the world. They will be happy because useful time and resources are being wasted on frivolities. Seyi may have disappointed some persons who have such expectations.

    “It’s perplexing that we love to trivialize serious issues in this country and until we stop our emotion from consuming the best part of us, we will continue to display high level of ignorance while taking a stance on issues.

    “Today, many prominent Nigerians have made it a culture to always reach out to either Christian’s and Muslims during their fasting period. As we speak, many top Nigerians have continued to tour the north in support of Muslims who are having quiet and prayerful moments. How is Seyi Tinubu’s tour of the north different?

    “Seyi, during the COVID-19 era shocked the world, with his NGO rendering unimaginable services and supports across the country. Has Seyi’s personality changed simply because his father is the current president?

    “I had recounted before how Seyi had out of his usual magnanimity released a huge amount of money for the treatment of an obidient youth who campaigned against his father. He has also supported individuals across party lines including youths from the PDP and APGA. It’s only a man with the large heart that can assist a “traducer.”

    Balami further said it would be unfair to Seyi Tinubu if people miss the statement he continues to make with his various humanitarian efforts, stating that in his detribalized mentality, he had engaged more none-tribal staff in his organization.

    “More than 50 percent of the staff in his organization are northerners,” Balami said.

    “In my own view and as stated earlier, Mr Seyi Tinubu deserves a medal and not a death sentence. My prayer is that God should give us ‘Seyis’ in our families.

    “My brother Seyi, do not get discouraged because your success, without doubt is for the good of Nigeria.

    “In local parlance, ‘na only tree wey dey produce ripe fruit, people dey stone to pluck.’ In no time, Nigerians will begin to see clearly the fruits in you.

    “People wanted you to take the place of God, but you are not God. You have your shortcoming too as human. But we are optimistic that you will be remembered only for the positive things you have done. Please continue to do what you can do as human and ignore completely any form of distractions,” the former National Deputy Campaign Manager for Obi/Datti said.

    Recall that Seyi Tinubu had recently taken a tour of the north in solidarity with northerners and Muslim communities in the spirit of Ramadan and empowering various individuals in the process.
