El-Rufai Raises Alarm Over ‘fresh plot’ Against Him
Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has alleged a fresh plot to implicate him in criminal activities, claiming a coordinated effort to damage his reputation and prolong his detention. Through his media adviser, he cited earlier incidents including an attempted arrest at Abuja Airport and subsequent detention by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and transfer to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission as part of a troubling pattern.
The latest concern followed a report linking him to an alleged attack on a trial witness, which his camp strongly denied, describing it as a deliberate attempt to smear his image and weaken his bail application. El-Rufai maintained his innocence, announced plans to pursue defamation action, and warned against the misuse of legal processes, insisting he deserves full due process under the law.
Ajax Join Fernandez Chase
Ajax have joined the race to sign Emmanuel Fernandez as they look to strengthen their defence ahead of the summer transfer window. The 24-year-old has attracted interest after an impressive debut season with Rangers, where he became a regular starter and one of the team’s most consistent performers.
Fernandez’s standout campaign earned him a place in the PFA Scotland Premiership Team of the Year, with six goals in 28 appearances highlighting both his defensive strength and attacking contribution. Ajax’s interest is linked to possible defensive changes, though competition for his signature is expected as his rising profile continues to draw attention across Europe.
President Tinubu never endorsed Gov Adeleke’s re-election — Osun NASS members
Lawmakers from the All Progressives Congress in Osun State have dismissed claims that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu endorsed Governor Ademola Adeleke for a second term, describing the reports as false and misleading. The five National Assembly members said there was no agreement or assurance from the President to support Adeleke in the upcoming governorship election, urging the public to disregard rumours of any political alliance.
The legislators insisted the President has shown no interest in backing any opposition candidate and reaffirmed the APC’s support for its own candidate, Bola Oyebamiji. They also questioned the logic of Tinubu endorsing an opposition figure while his party is contesting the election, calling on party members and voters to remain focused on the APC campaign and ignore what they described as false narratives.
Iran says final deal distant as Strait of Hormuz closure drags on
Iran says a final agreement with the United States remains distant as tensions persist over the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf noted that while some progress has been made in negotiations, major issues remain unresolved, stressing that Iran will not reopen the key waterway unless Washington lifts its blockade on Iranian ports.
U.S. President Donald Trump said talks were advancing but warned Iran against applying pressure, as both sides maintain firm positions. Iran also rejected demands to surrender its enriched uranium stockpile, insisting on its nuclear rights, while the ongoing standoff has left the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz largely devoid of shipping, disrupting global energy flows.
Favor As Higher Power?
(The hidden truth)
Some positions in life cannot be held or retained for long if you are not favored. Favor is higher power. You are not the only one desiring, deserving, connected, powerful or qualified. Some positions in life, opportunities, success, achievements, triumphs, selection, approvals, power and position, elevation, patronage, etc, are mainly through favor. Favor is silent, spiritual and higher power. For spiritual guidance, other solutions, call/Whatsapp Dr J.A. Faros on 07030514063. With God, all are possible.
