In a show of solidarity, members of the Central Working Committee of The Mandate Movement gathered in a meeting to throw their support behind Chairman, Abdullahi Ayinde Enilolobo, while simultaneously expressing dissatisfaction with the activities of a former Chairman, Cardinal James Odunmbaku (Baba Eto), and the chief of staff to the governor of Lagos state, Tayo Ayinde.

At a meeting held at the residence of the state chairman, all members of the central working committee, women leaders, and youth leaders from various local governments deliberated on how to continue their support for the All Progressive Congress (APC), the Tinubu-led administration, and the Sanwo-Olu-led administration in Lagos.

The Chairman of Chairmen, Chief Olu Arulogun, claimed that the Enilolobo-led Mandate Movement remains the authentic group, insisting that the illegal formation of some people led by Baba Eto and Tayo Ayinde is nothing but fake.

In separate statements, the Woman Leader, Alhaja Mulikat Ajala, and Youth Leader, Hon. Femi John Olumuyiwa of The Mandate Movement reassured their constituents that Enilolobo is the right path for progress.

The Woman Leader underscored Enilolobo’s commitment to inclusive policies benefiting women, urging female members to continue supporting his leadership. Simultaneously, the Youth Leader emphasized Enilolobo’s dedication to youth development, calling on the younger generation to stand behind him. Both leaders expressed confidence in Enilolobo’s ability to lead the movement toward positive and inclusive outcomes for women and youth.

The State Chairman, Abdullahi Ayinde Enilolobo, took the stage, thanking the members for their unwavering backing and emphasizing the importance of unity within the movement. He highlighted the movement’s core principles and vision for the future, pledging to lead with transparency and inclusivity.

The meeting, which attracted a significant turnout, also served as a platform for Enilolobo to thank President Bola Tinubu for his recent economic policies and reforms aimed at benefiting Nigerians. He urged Nigerians to be patient with Bola Tinubu’s administration, acknowledging challenges but expressing confidence in noticeable improvements within the next few months.

Enilolobo emphasized the complexity of governance and encouraged constructive engagement, assuring citizens of the administration’s commitment to addressing concerns. As the nation awaits changes, his call for patience aligns with the expectation that positive transformations will become evident in various sectors.

Enilolobo further saluted Babajide Sanwo-Olu for providing quality leadership and a dividend of democracy for the residents of Lagos. Also, he hailed the Governor’s Advisory Council led by Alhaji Tajudeen Olusi, as the GAC ensures the party keeps faith with its promise to Lagosians and Nigeria people by creating a more prosperous, secure, and just society for all.

Enilolobo stated, “We believe in the ideals of The Mandate Movement. Our group campaigned vigorously for all candidates without using the party structure. We don’t have money. We don’t have connections, but we have God, as well as all of you who have stood behind me.

I was made Chairman by the leaders of our group, in the presence of Baba Eto. After that, the late Baba Badmus took over, and then I was the anointed Chairman, with all your support. It’s so sad to see a former chairman wanting to wield powers with the incumbent. Is that possible?” he asked.

The Mandate Movement, known for its advocacy of social justice and community development, has gained prominence in recent years. It’s on this note that Enilolobo called for unity and collaboration, urging members to focus on the movement’s collective goals. The coming weeks are expected to witness programs by the group as they navigate this critical juncture in its organizational history.

As the meeting concluded, Prince Adewale Arogundade from Mushin local government raised a motion to reaffirm the leadership of Abdullahi Ayinde Enilolobo and was seconded by a former local government chairman from Somolu, Hon. Olorogun Gbolahan Bagostowe. All members of the central working committee, local government chairmen, women leaders, and youth leaders from various local governments unanimously supported the motion.

Primate Ayodele’s Prophecy Fulfilled As South Sudan Postpones Election Till 2026

Primate Ayodele Never Said Seyi Makinde Would Become President’’ – Media Aide Clarifies*

Primate Ayodele’s Prophecy Fulfilled As South Sudan Postpones Election Till 2026

 

 

South Sudan’s parties to the 2018 peace agreement have extended the current transitional period by another two years.

The decision was reached during a meeting President Salva Kiir held with his deputies, cabinet members and advisors in the capital, Juba on Friday.

The extension implies the country’s first post-independence election initially scheduled for December 22, 2024 will not take place.

The Cabinet Affairs minister, Martin Elia Lomuro said the transition period extension is an opportunity to implement the remaining key provisions in the peace agreement.

“The extension is in response to the recommendations from the electoral institutions and the security sector. It is an opportunity to implement the pending issues in the peace deal’” he said.

This development has fulfilled the prophecies of Primate Elijah Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church which he shared at different times regarding the presidential election.

The prophet in September 2023 stated in a video that the date for the election will be changed due to insecurity in the country. He made it known that the election will not see the light of the day and will be destabilized.

These were his words:

‘’South Sudan election: the date for the election will be changed, the election isn’t realistic, mark my words because of insecurity in the country. If you go ahead, the election will not see the light of the day and it will be destabilized. The moment you have a shift in the election, the international community will begin to put pressure on South Sudan and if you go ahead with the election, rebels are ready to cause imminent danger, the date isn’t realistic.’’

PDP govs lose as NWC hands Wike Control Of Rivrs PDP

 

The Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has solidified his position in the Peoples Democratic Party leadership crisis as the National Working Committee endorsed the Rivers State congresses.

Wike’s loyalists within the PDP NWC not only secured the approval but also postponed the National Executive Committee meeting, originally set for September 26, to October 24, which could have overturned the decision.

The PDP NWC, led by acting National Chairman Umar Damagum, made this decision during a meeting at the party’s national headquarters, Wadata Plaza, in Abuja on Thursday.

The NWC meeting had been delayed for the past three weeks amid rising tension within the party, especially between former Rivers State governor Wike and the PDP Governors Forum over the status of Rivers State party congresses.

The political conflict between Wike and current Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, escalated on August 24 when PDP governors publicly backed Fubara.

PDP governors called for a review of the Rivers State Congresses and affirmed Fubara’s role as the leader of the PDP in the state.

This support for Fubara enraged Wike, who on August 31 threatened to create chaos in the governors’ states if they did not refrain from interfering in Rivers State matters.

In response, on September 3, the PDP Governors’ Forum condemned Wike’s threat as irresponsible.

A senior NWC member, speaking anonymously due to lack of authorisation, revealed that the approval of the Rivers and other state congresses was granted, and the NEC meeting had been rescheduled to October 24.

The NEC meeting, originally set for August to address burning issues, including Damagum’s replacement, was first moved to September 26 because some members were travelling to Saudi Arabia for pilgrimage. It has now been rescheduled to October 24.

The source stated, “They have achieved their aim. Wike has again defeated the PDP governors as the NWC approved the Rivers and other states’ congresses. There was nothing a few NWC members who were against it could do other than allow them to have their way. As it stands, only the NEC can overturn it to suit the governors’ demands.

“The Rivers State Congresses and those of other states were approved by the NWC. A few states where issues were identified were stepped down. For example, in Kogi, the Chairman and Deputy were not approved due to anomalies.

“Only the NEC can overturn the NWC’s decision on Rivers and other states. However, the NEC meeting, originally slated for September 26, has been postponed to October 24, which may not hold on that date. As it stands, Wike has defeated the Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed-led PDP Governors Forum

Campaign funds: LP Tasks NSA, EFCC to probe Obi, Yesufu, Afenifere

The National Working Committee of the Labour Party, led by Julius Abure, has called on the National Security Adviser and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to investigate Aisha Yesufu, Pastor Itua Ighodalo, the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and leaders of Afenifere for alleged misappropriation of funds from the 2023 presidential campaign.

 

Campaign funds: LP Tasks NSA, EFCC to probe Obi, Yesufu, Afenifere

The call was made by the LP’s National Publicity Secretary, Abayomi Arabambi, at a press conference in Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Wednesday.

 

Arabambi expressed concern over recent comments by Yesufu, who defended herself against accusations of being involved in the alleged diversion of the 2023 campaign funds.

The party has alleged that Yesufu, along with Pastor Ighodalo and other accomplices, mismanaged and diverted over N12bn and $15m in donations intended for the Labour Party’s campaign.

 

 

Arabambi dismissed Yesufu’s denials as attempts to cover up the alleged financial misconduct and criticised her statements as an insult to the party’s leadership.

He also accused Yesufu and her associates of acting under the direction of Obi, whom he described as a “political merchant,” to defraud the party.

Additionally, Arabambi implicated Afenifere leaders, including Pa Ayo Adebanjo, Akin Osuntokun, and Sola Ebiseni, accusing them of retaining over N600m in private accounts linked to Afenifere.

 

He claimed that these individuals were hired by Obi to commit fraud and divert funds from the Labour Party’s presidential campaign.

“The trio of Pa Ayo Adebanjo, Akin Osuntokun, and Sola Ebiseni were involved in financial infractions totaling over ₦600m, which they have kept in private accounts and Afenifere accounts,” Arabambi stated. “Peter Obi allegedly hired Aisha Yesufu, Pastor Itua Ighodalo, and this faction of Afenifere to commit looting, criminal conspiracy, and diversion of funds from the Labour Party’s presidential campaign while presenting themselves as elder statesmen.”

Arabambi highlighted the party’s commitment to transparency and accountability and called for an investigation into all bank accounts associated with the alleged misconduct.

He urged a thorough investigation into the accounts linked to  Adebanjo, Osuntokun, and Ebiseni to ascertain the extent of Afenifere’s involvement in the alleged fraud.

The National Coordinator of the Obedient Movement, Dr. Yunisa Tanko, described the allegations as baseless and false.

“The allegations are unfounded. I was present when Aisha Yesufu provided the audited account of the presidential campaign fund, and the truth is that no money is missing from the Labour Party’s accounts,” Dr. Tanko stated in a phone conversation with our correspondent.

The Deputy Leader of Afenifere, Oba Oladipo Olaitan, when contacted, said he was not familiar with the allegations. “I have just seen the lengthy press statement you are referring to. I have not read it, but if Afenifere needs to respond later, we will certainly do so,” Olaitan said.
