Prophet Joshua Iginla of the Champion Royal Assembly has warned Nigerians about a possible medical emergency for President Tinubu.

Iginla made these remarks during his 2025 prophecy which he claimed God gave to him during his New Year’s message at the Cross-over service held in his church in Abuja.

He also predicted that there would be strong resistance against Senate President Godswill Akpabio from Northern politicians.

Iginla also advised the federal government not to ignore the views of Northern Nigerians, emphasizing the importance of finding common ground for peaceful resolution.

He also urged FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, to prioritize his health to effectively carry out his duties.

The cleric said: “President Tinubu must pay attention to his health and give himself much rest so that the enemy does not take that as a way of giving him a strong blow because I saw a medical emergency and we don’t pray that that should happen.

“We pray against it, but that’s what I saw. That is very, very important that he should take care of his health And there is going to be a lot of gang up against him strongly, very strongly.

“And the drama will unfold this year like never before, and there will be a strong betrayal.

“For the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, he is going to have a lot of strong resistance from the strong Northern powers. They want to move a vote of no confidence or impeachment process against him. Like I saw clearly too. He has to play good politics with the Northern brothers.

“They are like I said to the President, there’s a Gang up. He must work in a peaceful strategy with the Northern elite to make sure that promises that are made in secret should be honoured openly. As it is, is still going to cause more problems in the Senate.

“Talking about the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, you know the Senate has seen the wish of the Northern Senators and Governor will gang against him in the past year, 2024, is still what he is going to witness. Even more than that, the tax reform bill one of the crux of the matter and more of the things that I don’t want to mention publicly are part of the things that are there.

“I want to say that the government of the day should not play with the North in terms of trampling on their views. We should find a common ground for peaceful resolution. It’s very important. There should be no issue of fighting back, an issue of I think I have the power, I can do many things. If not, there can be many surprises politically.

“As for the FCT minister, he should pray concerning his health and he will do more projects and turn the city around, he will step on many toes, he will bring a lot of reformation to FCT, but he has to pray for his health. It’s only the living that can actually have a political mandate and move forward.”

The division in the Edo State Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), took a new dimension on Wednesday as Prof. Monday Monday Lewis Igbafen-led caretaker committee approached the National Industrial Court of Nigeria, Benin Judicial Division, seeking to affirm its authority and restrain a rival executive from parading itself as the council’s leadership.

Joined in the suit are the Edo State Government, the Commissioner for Labour and Productivity, and the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice.

In a suit marked: NICN/BEN/12/2026, and filed before the court in Benin, the claimant, Igbafen, acting for himself and on behalf of the NLC Caretaker Committee in Edo State, is challenging the continued occupation of the union’s secretariat and control of its assets by members of the Bernard Egwakhide-led factional State Executive Council.

The claimants are asking the court to declare that the caretaker committee (Igbafen-led faction), constituted on August 11, 2025, by the NLC national leadership, remains the only lawful authority to administer the affairs of the Edo State Council pending fresh elections.

They further seek a declaration that the continued occupation of the NLC secretariat located at No. 1 Teboga Road, Benin City, as well as the retention of union assets, financial records, and official instruments by the defendants, is illegal and void.

The suit also prays for an order of perpetual injunction restraining the defendants from parading themselves as officials of the NLC Edo Council or interfering with the functions of the caretaker committee.

In addition, the claimants are seeking a mandatory order compelling the defendants to immediately hand over the secretariat, vehicles, financial documents, cheque books, and all other properties belonging to the union.

The caretaker committee further urged the court to restrain the state government and its officials from interfering in the internal affairs of the union, alleging undue support for the dissolved executive.

The claimants further demand N50 million as general and exemplary damages against the defendants for alleged unlawful usurpation of office and acts prejudicial to the administration of the council.

According to court documents made available to our correspondent, the crisis followed the dissolution of the Edo State Council by the NLC National Executive Council on February 27, 2025, over allegations of misconduct, anti-union activities, and constitutional violations.

However, the matter has yet to be assigned a hearing date.

The leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS South-West Zone D, has announced plans to picket South African companies in Nigeria following the ongoing xenophobic attacks in the country.

DAILY POST reports that some Nigerians were recently killed in South Africa over the violent attacks.

A statement issued to newsmen by Comrade Adeyemo Josiah Kayode, Coordinator, NANS South-West, Zone D, said that the association is mobilizing to take decisive and lawful action by organizing peaceful picketing and mass advocacy against South African business interests operating in Nigeria.

“We categorically state that the continued targeting of Nigerians under any guise is unacceptable and must come to an immediate end.

“This will include major corporations such as MTN Group and MultiChoice Group. It is morally indefensible for businesses to thrive in an environment where the lives of Nigerians are protected, while Nigerians are subjected to fear and violence elsewhere.

“This contradiction will no longer be tolerated,” the statement said.
