The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has warned some of Nigeria’s government agencies about their activities, including their managing directors and CEOs.

Primate Ayodele, in a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, mentioned agencies including NAICOM, NIPOST, FIRS, FAAN, NPA, NCAA, and NIMASA.

For NAICOM, Primate Ayodele mentioned that the body will come up with policies that will threaten the existence of some insurance companies. He mentioned some companies that should be careful because they will run into debt.

“NAICOM: They will come up with new policies that will threaten some insurance companies and lead to the deregistration of some of them. The following insurance companies must be very careful: Custodian Insurance, AIICO Insurance, Prudent Insurance, Zenith Insurance, Sanlam Insurance, and Staco Insurance. These companies may run into debt, and their shareholders will decline. There will be a new measure coming for insurance companies. There are some policies the regulatory body will make that will not go through.”

In NIPOST, Primate Ayodele warned the postmaster general to be careful of having problems.

“NIPOST: There will be several reforms in NIPOST, and the post master general must be careful not to have problems. They must also be careful not to run into unexpected debt, and I see them having matters to contend with.”

For FIRS, Primate Ayodele stated that the body will make a lot of differences for the government and detect some manipulation in tax transactions. He stated that the executive chairman will have issues with Cabals which will undermine his efforts despite his plans.

“FIRS: This body will make a lot of differences for the government and will detect some taxation manipulation and illegal tax transactions. There will be a new method of tax assessment that the government will create. The tax reforms will continue to have issues, but it is very good. People will continue to fight it to destroy the agenda of the government. There will be a way of taking taxes from everyone, including market women; everything will be taxed in the country, and I see it extending to churches, too. The chairman will have issues with the cabals despite the good works.”

For FAAN, Primate Ayodele warned the MD to be careful of removal from office. He stated that some people will try to corrupt the system by mismanaging funds. He mentioned that the body will play a good role in the security of the airport and that some airlines will be sanctioned.

“FAAN: There will be training of the staff, and they must be careful so that the MD will not be removed. Some people will want to corrupt the system, and there will be mismanagement of funds in the agency. FAAN will play a good role in airport security, but they will have issues with some other agencies. I see some staff being laid off. FAAN workers will want to protest, and I see some airlines sanctioned.”

For NPA, Primate Ayodele stated that the MD will be accused of fraud and indicted with some documentation. He warned the body to be careful against a fire incident.

“NPA: There will be a lot of misconceptions in the body as some workers will be involved in malpractices and corruption. There will be reforms in the body, but there will be mismanagement. The MD will be accused of fraud, and they will indict him with some complicated documentation. Let us be careful against fire incidents in the NPA.”

Likewise, for the NCAA, Primate Ayodele warned the DG to be careful of problems. He also stated that there will be a protest and a gang-up against the managing director.

“NCAA: Their instrument will get damaged, and the DG must be careful so that he won’t be removed or have problems. They will come up with a new airport policy. There will be a new protocol in the NCAA. The MD must be careful of a gang-up; they will fight him because of his commitment.”

Furthermore, he warned of corruption in NIMASA.

“NIMASA: They must be careful because the activities of their personnel will expose a lot of ghost workers, and there will be corruption. The body will go into a new contract on our waterways. NIMASA will generate a lot of money for the country, but it won’t be utilized well. There will be sentiment and nepotism in NIMASA. The MD will be troubled because they will politicize the body.”

The National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has vowed that his party will unseat President Bola Tinubu and also take over Lagos state come 2027.

The former governor of Osun State made the pledge on Saturday, at an event where the leader of the Conscience Forum of the Labour Party (LP), Hon. Moshood Salvador, led members of the group to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

The event which held in Lagos also marked the 25th anniversary of the Conscience Forum as a political group.

It had in attendance the National Secretary of the African Democratic Party, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, leadership of the ADC in Lagos state, and wards and zonal leaders of the Conscience Forum from the 20 Local Government Areas and 37 LCDAs in the state.

Addressing the new members, Aregbesola commended the leadership, executives and members of the Conscience Forum while tasking them on the need to take over the seat of power in Abuja and Lagos in 2027 general elections.

He pledged that the ADC will produce the next president of the country while charging the new intakes not to relent in their efforts to changing Nigeria for the better.

He said, “I am happy to be a part of this gathering. I am also happy to receive you into the ADC folds. We are the only one that can make it difficult to take over wherever we are if the Conscience Forum, good looking people with highly cultured leadership can organized this kind of event to make a declaration for the ADC and follow the line enunciated by the leader, surely, Alausa is a sure ticket for all of us.

“With our resolve, it won’t be difficult at all to take over the seat of power. It’s a simple strategy of one getting ten and each of the ten will equally get ten. Its operation ten over ten. Once we are able to get this done, that’s the end of it. We will surely meet at the Aso Rock Villa and produce the next president of the country. Once again, I am happy to be here and we must not relax our efforts to change Nigeria.”

Speaking on the move to the ADC, Salvador said the problems confronting the Labour Party has shown that it is not a party for the future.

He said, “Today, we are marking the 25 anniversary of the Conscience Forum and at the same time, for a wise man or people of wisdom, we look back to what you’ve achieved and look forward to what we are aiming to become. Our members were in Labour Party and the problem of the Labour Party has shown that they have lost the future. Its no more a party of the future and that is why, we have to think of where next since we have the new wave and the formation of coalition of political party, for anyone that wants something good of its members, the best is to join the coalition.

“This is not just the ADC. The ADC being the symbol of the coalition and that is why Conscience Forum, being a political group with over 400, 000 members in Lagos will have to showcase our structure including our LGA and Ward officers and so on. This is necessary for them to know the size of the group they are taking in. We chose today being our 25th anniversary to declare for the ADC so that our members will now join the ADC at their various ward levels.”

Details have emerged regarding the recent closed-door meeting between former President Goodluck Jonathan and former presidential candidate Peter Obi.

The two leaders are reportedly discussing strategies for a unified front in the 2027 presidential election.

The meeting took place on Thursday, with Obi disclosing insights about the engagement on his Facebook and X accounts.

The meeting was a continuation of previous conversations between the two leaders over strategies for the 2027 race.

The National Coordinator of the OBIdient Movement, Dr Yunusa Tanko, confirmed this in a statement on Friday.

“They (Jonathan and Obi) have been friends for a long time. The meeting was for them to fraternise and discuss how to rescue Nigeria.

“But for us in the OBIdient Movement, it would be great if Jonathan remains the respected statesman he is known for. He has done his best as President, he is respected, and this is the time for him to support his brother,” Tanko told Daily Trust.

Tanko further alleged that some politicians were plotting to use Jonathan against Obi but maintained that the Obidient Movement would not allow such a plan to succeed.

“We are aware of such moves, but we strongly believe they will not succeed.

“Many Nigerians believe the next president should come from the South, and for fairness, the South East should get the chance. Peter Obi is the ideal candidate,” he added.

Rivers State Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas (retd.), has stated that the mandate given to him by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been “sufficiently achieved” with the restoration of democratic governance at the grassroots.

Ibas made the remark on Friday at Government House, Port Harcourt, during the presentation of the report on the recently concluded local government elections by the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC).

He recalled that Tinubu, on March 18, 2025, directed him to stabilise the state, re-establish its institutions, and return Rivers to full democratic governance following his appointment as sole administrator.

According to him, the successful conduct of the polls and the swearing-in of elected chairmen and councillors across the 23 local government areas marked the fulfilment of that mandate.

“Mr. President’s mandate to me was clear: to stabilise the state, create an enabling environment for the re-establishment of its institutions, and return Rivers State back to full democratic governance. With the successful conduct and swearing-in of local government chairmen and their councils, I believe we have decisively achieved the mandate that we were given,” Ibas stated.

He praised RSIEC for what he described as a credible and transparent election, noting that the exercise was free of harassment and voters freely expressed their choices.

Ibas added that the government would review the RSIEC report and issue a white paper in due course. He also commended his team, security agencies, and state officials for their contributions.

RSIEC Chairman, Dr Mike Odey, who presented the report earlier, described the election as a “historic achievement” for Rivers and the country. He stressed that it was organised, coordinated, and concluded within 30 days — an unprecedented record in Nigerian electoral history.
