Cleric Exposes Why Politicians Flock To Famous General Overseers.
According to Nivo News, Femi Emmanuel, the Presiding Pastor of Livingspring Chapel International, has revealed that many politicians visit prominent General Overseers not for spiritual mentoring but to tap into the influence these religious leaders command through their massive followings.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking with journalists on Saturday in Ibadan, Oyo State, Emmanuel explained that political figures are often more interested in the electoral value of these clerics than in any form of spiritual direction.
He stated that most politicians approach renowned religious leaders mainly to secure support from their congregations. “When politicians visit popular General Overseers, their mission is political. They want their members to vote for them,” he said.
Emmanuel noted that while religious leaders may offer prayers when asked, politicians ultimately prioritize the voices of those who can help them clinch party primaries. He stressed the need for Nigerians to better understand the political structure, pointing out that critical decisions at the grassroots are frequently made by individuals who may lack the competence to handle them.
He lamented the poor participation of well-meaning citizens in ward meetings. “Good Nigerians don’t attend ward meetings because they feel too sophisticated. But if you go there, you will weep,” he said, describing how people sometimes quarrel over small sums such as ₦1,000 meant for sharing. According to him, these same people choose delegates who ultimately determine candidates and, by extension, political leaders.
Emmanuel also urged the Federal Government led by President Bola Tinubu to adopt a more strategic and security-focused approach to governance. While acknowledging Tinubu’s courage, he stressed that the President must confront the difficult task of restoring security nationwide. “He didn’t create the terrorism challenge, but he must ensure peace returns to every part of Nigeria,” he added.
The cleric further argued that returning Nigeria to a regional system of government would resolve most of the country’s challenges. He warned that without such restructuring, the problems facing the nation would persist and possibly deepen.

A senior Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader, Umar Sani, has clarified that the Court of Appeal did not annul the party’s national convention.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking on news, Sani explained that the court merely upheld the lower court’s judgment and did not prohibit the convention from taking place.
He said the lower court had only issued conditions that needed to be met before the convention, stressing that nowhere in its judgment was the convention banned.
“The Court of Appeal did not nullify the convention. What the court did was uphold the judgment of the lower court, and that judgment was issued before the convention,” Sani said.
He added, “The lower court only set conditions for us to fulfill before holding the convention. Nowhere did it say the convention should not be held. There was no directive that we must conduct congresses in 14 states, put our house in order, notify INEC, and then hold the convention.”
Regarding the next legal steps, Sani stated, “If the court claims that we didn’t hold a convention, we will challenge that at the Supreme Court because we believe it is not the court’s business to intervene in internal leadership matters within a political party.”

The operation, carried out on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, also resulted in the neutralisation of numerous insurgents, the service confirmed on Thursday.
Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, Director of Public Relations and Information for the NAF, stated that the successful strikes were guided by credible intelligence and continuous surveillance of terrorist activities in the area.
“The strikes disrupted the adversary’s operational mobility and reinforced the effectiveness of intelligence-driven airpower in support of ongoing security efforts,” Ejodame said, noting that the operation significantly weakened the insurgents’ capabilities.
The air strikes are part of ongoing military operations under Operation Hadin Kai, aimed at combating insurgency and restoring stability across Nigeria’s North-East region.
The operation follows a reaffirmation by the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, of the Air Force’s commitment to maintaining decisive air superiority in the theatre of operations. According to Aneke, sustained aerial dominance is critical to consolidating the gains achieved by security forces in the fight against terrorism.
Meanwhile, Air Vice Marshal Precious Amadi, Chief of Operations at NAF Headquarters, conducted a visit to the NAF Base in Maiduguri, Borno State, to assess the readiness of personnel and equipment. During the visit, he reviewed the operational environment and received briefings from the Air Component and the 105 Composite Group, which highlighted the base’s preparedness for high-tempo joint operations alongside other security agencies.
Engagements were also held with the Theatre Command Headquarters of Operation Hadin Kai to strengthen air-ground coordination. Air Vice Marshal MC Ekwueme, Air Officer Commanding Tactical Air Command, also visited the base to boost the morale of deployed personnel.
Commenting on the operation, Air Marshal Aneke reiterated the NAF’s commitment to sustained aerial operations against insurgent groups. He emphasized that coordinated air and ground operations are vital in shaping the battlefield and limiting hostile movements.
“The NAF remains focused on maintaining persistent air presence, delivering precision effects, and supporting joint forces to consolidate hard-won gains toward lasting peace and stability,” Aneke said.
