Apostle Suleman Claims Inside Job Behind South Africa Church Fire.
The Senior Pastor of Omega Fire Ministries International, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has disclosed that one of the church’s branches in South Africa was razed by fire under questionable circumstances.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
He said the incident was brought to his attention after the resident pastor contacted him to report that the church building had been completely destroyed overnight.
According to him, the property—acquired after several years of ministry operations in South Africa—was largely financed with his personal funds.
Apostle Suleman explained that the ministry had operated in the country for about eight to nine years before acquiring a permanent worship centre. He noted that after purchasing the building, it was used for church activities until the unexpected fire incident left it in ruins.
He added that all items inside the building were destroyed, including seats, sound equipment, and important documents. The children’s section of the church was also completely burnt.
Speaking during a recent church service, he said:
“Our pastor in South Africa called me to tell me that they have burnt down our church. We own the building, my personal money in that church was about 90 per cent. We bought a building after being in South Africa for 8 to 9 years. They burnt it down; no chair was taken out, no sound equipment was saved, even the children’s section was destroyed, and all documents were burnt.
“It happened overnight. The CCTV could not capture the person. It looked like an inside job because whoever did it knew the camera positions. I was deeply hurt as a human being, but God told me to give thanks. I knelt down and thanked Him.
“After the incident, members were angry and some youths were ready to retaliate, but I told them to leave it. Later, they found a new place, and I instructed them to pay for three months and move in.
“Where they are now is a better location. God knew what He was doing. What the enemy meant for evil, He turned around for good.”
The Kano State chapter of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has postponed its scheduled state congress for the election of party executives.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The postponement was confirmed in a statement signed by the party’s Director-General of Social Media in Kano State, Adam Said Adam.
According to the statement, the decision followed the recent influx of prominent political figures into the party, which necessitated further consultations and improved preparations.
The State Chairman of the NDC in Kano, Hon. Husaini Isah Mai Riga, explained that the growing number of new entrants made it important to create room for proper planning ahead of the congress.
He said additional time was needed to ensure that the new members are adequately accommodated and that the exercise is conducted in a transparent, inclusive, and orderly manner.
Mai Riga noted that proceeding without proper arrangements could undermine inclusiveness and affect the credibility of the process.
He added that a new date for the congress would be announced after all necessary preparations have been concluded.
The chairman assured members that the postponement was in the overall interest of strengthening the party’s structure in Kano State.
He reaffirmed the leadership’s commitment to building a stronger party and ensuring that all stakeholders are fully involved in the selection of new executives.
Members were urged to remain calm and await further official communication regarding the rescheduled congress date.
Former Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, has called on Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, to refrain from media attacks over the 2023 governorship election, stressing that both leaders are now members of the same political family under the All Progressives Congress (APC).....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The appeal followed comments reportedly made by Governor Oborevwori, in which he mocked Omo-Agege’s performance in the 2023 Delta governorship race. Responding in a statement, Omo-Agege said there was no reason for renewed political hostility, noting that they are now on the same side politically and should focus on unity rather than revisiting past battles. Calls for Peace, Unity and Reconciliation Omo-Agege said reopening the 2023 election contest through public remarks or media exchanges serves no meaningful purpose and instead risks deepening division within the Delta APC. He emphasized that the priority for the party should be peace, reconciliation, and collective progress. According to him, if they were still members of opposing political parties, he would have responded differently, but that is no longer the situation since they now belong to one political platform. He stressed that what the APC in Delta State currently needs is unity, not internal conflict. Focus Shifts to 2027 Elections The former senator stated that his primary objective is to ensure victory for all APC candidates in future elections, from President Bola Tinubu to legislative contenders across the state. He acknowledged that the 2023 governorship election is over, noting that the Supreme Court has delivered its final judgment, which he fully respects. Omo-Agege also reiterated his previous congratulations to Governor Oborevwori on his electoral victory, while expressing pride in the support he received from his own political base. Urges Governor to Promote Inclusion He called on Governor Oborevwori, as leader of the APC in Delta State, to work with him in promoting healing, inclusion, and internal harmony. Omo-Agege warned against actions or rhetoric capable of dividing party members, insisting that only a united APC can secure electoral victories in Delta State and strengthen President Tinubu’s prospects in 2027. He maintained that the party’s attention should now be firmly fixed on the future rather than the political conflicts of the past.
Former Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) governorship candidate in Kano State during the 2023 elections, Salisu Tanko Yakasai, has said the growing division within the opposition coalition may ultimately hand President Bola Tinubu a strategic advantage ahead of the 2027 general election.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Yakasai made the observation in a post on his handle while reacting to the defection of presidential hopefuls Peter Obi and Musa Kwankwaso to the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC).
According to him, the emergence of both the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and NDC as separate opposition platforms could split votes and strengthen the ruling party’s chances in the presidential race.
He described the situation as a “blessing in disguise,” explaining that although many Nigerians had hoped for a united opposition coalition, a single alliance might have faced legal or political obstacles that could have threatened its place on the ballot.
Yakasai argued that having two major opposition platforms may make it more difficult for any authority to sideline both, as doing so could raise concerns about Nigeria’s democratic image.
Tinubu Could Benefit From Divided Opposition
He noted that the most likely scenario is for both ADC and NDC to remain in the race, creating a divided opposition similar to the 2023 presidential election pattern.
According to him, such an outcome would likely favour Tinubu at the presidential level, while both opposition parties could still perform strongly in National Assembly contests, particularly in the North and East.
He suggested that while Tinubu may gain from a split presidential vote, ADC and NDC could secure significant legislative victories across key regions.
Calls for Calm and Possible Future Alliance
Despite his concerns, Yakasai reaffirmed his commitment to the ADC and urged members of both opposition camps to lower tensions and remain open to future collaboration.
He noted that political realities often force unexpected alliances, adding that cooperation between the parties may still become necessary as the 2027 elections approach.
