Omoyele Sowore, a prominent human rights activist and the former presidential candidate for the African Action Congress (AAC), is standing firm by his controversial description of President Bola Tinubu as a “criminal.” During a recent interview on Arise Television, Sowore asserted that his labeling of the President was rooted in what he considers hard facts rather than mere political theater.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Sowore declared that he is fully prepared to defend his claims in a court of law, arguing that his statements are backed by serious allegations that demand legal attention. He emphasized that accusations regarding drug trafficking do not expire, stating, “If anybody has been involved in drug dealing or drug trafficking, there is no statute of limitation. Even if you are president, when your presidency is over, the law can still take its course.”

Unresolved Allegations

The activist also pointed to an alleged tax-related case involving the company Alpha Beta, which he contends remains an unfinished matter following the #EndSARS protests.

Sowore claimed that during the unrest, vital court documents related to the case were destroyed. He recounted a frustrating experience in his attempts to pursue the matter, alleging that:

• A judge prevented his legal counsel from presenting key evidence when the case was at a critical stage.

• Rather than allowing the issues to be heard in full, he has faced persistent attempts by authorities to arrest and harass him.

Allegations of Tech Interference

Beyond the courtroom, Sowore alleged that government authorities pressured major social media platforms, including Facebook and Twitter, to withdraw from his ongoing legal battles. According to the activist, this intervention was aimed at suppressing access to documentation that could have exposed government actions against free speech.

The Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, has issued a sharp challenge to the Obidients Movement, urging them to compare the track record of their principal, Peter Obi, with his own achievements during his time as the governor of Ebonyi State.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

A Call for Objectivity

Speaking on Thursday at the flag-off ceremony for the Babban-Lamba Sharam Road (Phase II) in Plateau State, Umahi addressed the online criticism he has faced from Peter Obi’s supporters.

• Umahi questioned the basis of these attacks, demanding that followers of the former Anambra State governor be more objective in their criticism.

• He highlighted his extensive political career—having served as a party chairman, deputy governor, governor, senator, and minister—to emphasize his experience in governance.

• The Minister warned the group, stating, “You have no right to insult me. But if you call on the president, I will call on you”.

Accusations of “Comedy” in Governance

The tension between the two political figures escalated further on Wednesday during the launch of the Akwanga-Jos superhighway construction. During the event, Umahi accused Peter Obi of being ignorant of the realities of governance.

Umahi criticized the former governor for allegedly seeking “cheap political points” by sharing photos of poor road conditions on social media. The Minister expressed disappointment, remarking, “I saw his social media when he got to a point where the road is bad, and he snapped it. When did governance reduce to comedy?”.

In response to what he perceived as personal attacks on his integrity, Umahi has formally challenged Peter Obi to a public debate. He noted his readiness to discuss the technicalities of road construction, specifically stating, “I’m always ready for a debate, I’m always ready to disaggregate the unit cost of concrete and to debate with him”.

Popular Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham has credited her husband, Kolawole Ajeyemi, for his pivotal role in helping her quit smoking cigarettes.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

In a recent interview with Morayo Afolabi, the star actress reflected on her past habits, revealing that she has successfully moved away from cigarette smoking, though she noted she still uses a vape occasionally.

A Husband’s Firm Stance

Toyin shared that her journey toward quitting began during her pregnancy, when her husband reminded her that smoking was no longer a viable option for the sake of their unborn child—a sentiment that left a lasting impression on her.

The actress recounted a significant moment following the birth of their child when she smoked during an outing. While her husband noticed, he chose not to argue or lecture her. Instead, he made his boundary clear: while she was free to make her own personal choices, he would never tolerate those habits in their child.

The Ultimate Ultimatum

The actress revealed the weight of her husband’s words, explaining that he set a firm boundary for the future of their household. According to Toyin, her husband warned that if he ever discovered their child smoking or drinking alcohol, it would mark the end of their marriage.

Describing Kolawole Ajeyemi as the “best thing that has ever happened” to her, Toyin expressed appreciation for his support, stating, “He let me be me”.
