By Ibrahim Isa
Senator Salihu Mustapha has left an indelible mark on Nigeria’s legislative landscape through his unwavering commitment to fostering development, empowerment, and progress. Throughout his tenure as a parliamentarian, he has demonstrated an unrelenting passion for addressing the challenges facing the nation and improving the lives of Nigerians.
As a dedicated legislator, he has made substantial contributions to the National Assembly, consistently engaging in debates and discussions with insightful perspectives on a wide range of issues. His expertise and knowledge have been instrumental in shaping policy and legislation, and his ability to transcend party lines has facilitated consensus-building and progress.
Senator Mustapha’s legislative agenda is underpinned by a focus on human capital development, infrastructure improvements, and empowering women and youth. He has sponsored several impactful bills aimed at addressing key issues affecting his constituents and the nation at large. These bills include the Electronic Transaction Bill, National Food Reserve Agency (Establishment) Bill and Donkey Slaughter Regulation & Export Certificate Bill.
Others are the National Agricultural Land Development Authority (Amendment) Bill, Cassava Flour (Mandatory Inclusion into Flour Production) Bill, Integrated Rural Development Agency (Establishment) Bill, Nigerian Economic Diversification Bill, and Agricultural Research Council of Nigeria Act (Amendment) Bill. The last bill on the amendment of the Agricultural Research Council of Nigeria (Act) lays the foundation for establishing the Federal College of Agriculture, Oke-Oyi.
Through his tireless efforts, Senator Mustapha has demonstrated a steadfast commitment to the betterment of Nigeria and its people. He has facilitated various projects aimed at improving education, healthcare, and social services in Kwara Central Senatorial District. These projects include the reconstruction of a one-kilometer asphaltic road, installation of solar-powered motorized boreholes and street lights, construction and furnishing of classrooms, and provision of employment opportunities for indigenes of his Senatorial District.
Senator Mustapha’s dedication to empowering women and youth is commendable. He has organised training workshops, sponsored examination fees for students, and provided fertilizer and pumping machines to smallholder farmers. His commitment to agricultural productivity and rural development has empowered farmers to enhance food production and improve their livelihoods.
He has also facilitated employment opportunities for numerous indigenes of his Senatorial District in Federal Government Agencies, Departments, and Parastatals, as well as military and Para-Military Agencies. This has not only provided a stable source of income for these individuals but also contributed meaningfully to the overall development of the Senatorial District, thereby leaving a lasting impact on the lives of his constituents.
Additionally, he generously sponsored 2,000 applicants for the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), 250 applicants for the 2024 National Examination Council (NECO), and 250 applicants for the West African Examination Council (WAEC). These initiatives have significantly alleviated the financial burden on families, encouraged educational pursuits, and further underscored his dedication to human capital development.
As Chairman of the Senate Committee on Agricultural Production Services and Rural Development, Senator Mustapha has demonstrated his steadfast commitment to bolstering agricultural productivity and rural development. He has implemented a commendable initiative, providing 3,500 tons of fertilizer and 1,000 pumping machines to smallholder farmers across the four local government areas of Kwara Central Senatorial District. This laudable project empowers the farmers in his senatorial district to surmount challenges in food production, enhance the quantity and quality of farm produce, and ultimately contribute to the betterment of their lives.
Beyond his legislative endeavours, Senator Mustapha has emerged as a vocal and influential voice on national issues, offering insightful perspectives and solutions on pressing topics such as security, economy, and governance. His exceptional ability to articulate the concerns of his constituents and the nation at large has earned him widespread respect and admiration.
Senator Salihu Mustapha’s legislative usefulness is evident in his impressive track record, profound impact on his constituents, and significant contributions to the national question. His unwavering focus on human capital development, infrastructure improvements, and empowering women and youth has substantially improved the lives of his constituents and contributed meaningfully to the overall development and progress of the nation. His leadership, expertise, and vision will be crucial in shaping Nigeria’s future and fostering a brighter tomorrow.

Nigerians Are Being Asked to Accept Dysfunction as Normal-Banwo
Nigerians Are Being Asked to Accept Dysfunction as Normal-Banwo
Lawyer and public affairs commentator, Dr. Ope Banwo, has delivered a scathing assessment of Nigeria’s governance landscape, warning that citizens are gradually being conditioned to accept systemic failures as a normal way of life.
In a strongly worded critique, Banwo painted a picture of a country where basic services remain inconsistent despite years of policy promises and public spending, raising concerns about accountability and leadership priorities.
He pointed to the continued instability in electricity supply, describing it as a long-standing issue that continues to burden households and businesses alike. According to him, the reliance on alternative power sources has become an economic strain that reflects deeper structural inefficiencies.
Banwo also highlighted persistent challenges in the education sector, where disruptions and extended academic timelines have become familiar patterns. He argued that such conditions place young Nigerians at a disadvantage in an increasingly competitive global environment.
On healthcare, he noted that limited public confidence in local systems continues to drive medical travel abroad among those who can afford it, a trend he said raises questions about the effectiveness of domestic investment in the sector.
Beyond service delivery, Banwo expressed concern over what he described as a visible disconnect between public officials and the realities faced by citizens. He referenced widespread perceptions of inequality and questioned whether governance structures are sufficiently aligned with public needs.
“What is worrying is not just the existence of these problems,” he said, “but the growing acceptance of them as inevitable.”
Banwo argued that when dysfunction becomes normalized, the urgency for reform diminishes, allowing systemic issues to persist unchecked.
He called for stronger institutional accountability, emphasizing the need for transparency in public spending and decision-making. While refraining from naming individuals, he stressed that sustainable development requires leadership that is both responsive and responsible

Primate Ayodele’s Prophecies On Former President’s Death, Deputy Gov, Others Fulfilled
*Primate Ayodele’s Prophecies On Former President’s Death, Deputy Gov, Others Fulfilled
The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele is in the news again for the fulfilment of his prophecies as usual.
As we know, the only time Primate Ayodele gets in the news is when he makes prophecies and when they come to pass. No extra, no unnecessary attention, no lifestyle showcasing, just doing what God has sent him to do.
Just as it had been established earlier, Primate Ayodele has nothing less than 20,000 prophecies that have been fulfilled to his credit and as the day goes by, they continue to increase.
Recent additions to his fulfilled prophecies include:
1 Death of Former Algeria President: Former Algerian President Liamine Zeroual has died at the age of 85, the Algerian presidency said Sunday.
A statement said Zeroual had been battling illness for some time and was receiving treatment at the Mohamed Seghir Nekkache Military Hospital.
He died at the hospital.
Primate Ayodele had in a prophetic session warned nations to be pray against the death of a former president.
2 Resignation of Kano Deputy governor: The Deputy Governor of Kano State, Aminu Gwarzo, has resigned from the position, citing the need to ensure stability in governance and allow the office to function effectively.
In a press statement issued by the Kwankwasiyya Movement on Friday, the decision was described as “difficult” but necessary in the overall interest of the people of Kano State.
“The Deputy Governor of Kano State has tendered his resignation from office… This decision, though difficult, has been taken in the overall interest of the people and the stability of governance in Kano State.”
Primate Ayodele in a prophetic moment had revealed that it is not every deputy governor that will finish their tenure, indicating that some may die or resign. The prophecy was first fulfilled with the deputy governor of Bayelsa state and now Kano, with resignation.
3 Plateau attacks: The Plateau State Government has imposed a 48-hour curfew on Jos North Local Government Area following a deadly attack in the Angwan Rukuba community.
In a statement on Sunday, the state Commissioner for Information and Communication, Joyce Ramnap, said the curfew would take effect from midnight of March 29 to April 1, 2026.
The government said the decision followed a “tragic security incident” in the area, which resulted in loss of lives and left several others injured.
The statement read, “Following the tragic security incident that occurred at Gari Ya Waye community, Angwan Rukuba, today, Sunday, 29th March 2026, resulting in the loss of lives, while several others sustained varying degrees of injuries.
Primate Ayodele had in several prophecies mentioned that Plateau state would be attacked by gunmen. He called on security operatives to watch out and prepare ahead for the attacks.
These were his words:
“Terrorist attacks will be extended to Nasarawa, Gombe, Plateau, Kaduna, Bauchi, Benue, Abuja and Kogi. Let the CDS and COAS brainstorm and strategise, it’s time to eliminate terrorists in the country.
“They are both capable hands, they should not allow these terrorists to destroy their legacies and credibility.
”The ESN is also planning an attack in the South-East, it is a red alert because they want to abort a lot of people including an emir,”

Grace Nation: Harvest of Babies 2026 Records Miracle Birth and Dedication of Twins as Conference Concludes
“Guard your fruitfulness—identify and avoid distractions.”
The 2026 edition of Harvest of Babies, the flagship family liberation conference of Grace Nation Global, concluded with remarkable testimonies, including the reported safe delivery of a baby boy during the programme and the dedication of multiple “miracle babies.”
Miracle Delivery and Baby Dedications
One of the standout testimonies involved a woman whose pregnancy had gone beyond term and was reportedly scheduled for surgery. According to accounts shared during the conference, she was prayed for after being identified during one of the sessions. She later delivered a healthy baby boy without complications during the course of the event.
The conference also witnessed the dedication of several children described as long-awaited blessings, including twins after 15 years, a baby boy after 9 years, and a baby girl after 7 years. The dedications formed a major highlight of the closing moments of the programme, reinforcing the conference’s focus on fruitfulness and restoration.
Teaching on Fruitfulness
Continuing his teaching series on “Fruitfulness,” the Generational Prophet of God and Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Worldwide, Dr Chris Okafor, emphasized the importance of addressing the root causes of life’s challenges.
“If the cause of a battle is not confronted, the cycle may continue,” he said, adding that spiritual discipline—particularly prayer—remains a key tool in overcoming limitations such as barrenness, whether physical, financial, or generational.
He described prayer as a necessary channel for divine intervention, stressing that understanding one’s spiritual foundation is essential to overcoming recurring challenges.
Guarding Your Fruitfulness
Dr. Okafor also warned about distractions that may hinder progress, urging believers to remain focused on principles that sustain growth and fulfillment.
“Every kingdom operates by principles,” he noted. “If you allow distractions around you to take your focus away from those principles, you may delay your manifestation.”
He encouraged participants to be intentional about their environment, relationships, and spiritual discipline in order to maintain their breakthroughs.
What Hinders Fruitfulness?
The cleric identified curses and ignorance as major obstacles to fruitfulness. According to him, some challenges may stem from longstanding family patterns, but these can be broken through spiritual understanding and alignment.
He reiterated that blessings—particularly those pronounced through spiritual authority—have the capacity to reverse negative cycles and establish fruitfulness.
“Ignorance allows problems to persist,” he said. “But when you gain understanding and follow divine instruction, transformation begins.”
Looking Ahead
Although the 2026 Harvest of Babies conference has ended, organizers say the testimonies and experiences from the event will have a lasting impact. Many participants expressed faith that by this time next year, they will return with their own testimonies of fruitfulness.
The conference closed on a note of expectation, with attendees looking forward to future editions and continued manifestations of what they described as divine intervention. By Sunday Adeyemi [email protected]
