NLM kicks as INEC refuses to register political movement 

 

The leadership of the Nigerian Liberty Movement (NLM), a political movement seeking registration from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has criticized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and INEC for excluding some political associations from party registration.

In the NLM’s special communique titled ‘INEC’s Stubborn Refusal to Certify NLM: Another Proof of Tyranny Under Bola Tinubu’s Repressive Administration, Nigerians Will Not Be Silenced’, and released to the media, the communique stated, “INEC has stubbornly refused to issue our certificate as a legitimate political party. We were the first association to express interest and declare our serious intention. We have fulfilled every single legal requirement demanded by the Electoral Act 2022 and the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, with no shortcuts and no excuses.”

The communique, which was signed by the National Leader of Nigerian Liberty Movement, Amb ThisDayMoses Adebisi, who is also known as ThisDaysMoses/Al’Musa, said, “We, the Nigerian Liberty Movement (NLM), ThisDaysMoses / Al’Musa, National Leader of NLM, are sounding the alarm once more against this shameless injustice staring us all in the face.”

According to him, “This is not a delay. This is pure sabotage and deliberate wickedness. This once again shows the tyranny of this Bola Tinubu repressive administration, its ugly face to crush any group daring to fight for real liberation, end bad governance, wipe out corruption, stop insecurity, remove impunity, stop genocide, and the endless suffering of ordinary Nigerians.

“We submitted our complete application back in June 2024, far ahead of many others who have already moved forward or even gotten attention.”

ThisDayMoses, who said that NLM had completed all processes with INEC long before the deadline, said, “We gave INEC everything: full nationwide membership spread all the 36 states plus FCT, verified physical operations, functional headquarters, submitted constitution, manifesto, logo, passed inspections, every correspondence, and every single thing required is in their hands! Yet they sit on it like it’s nothing. They deny us our democratic right. They block the voice of millions.”

“This wicked pattern only makes our fire burn hotter. The NLM was born to enlighten Nigerians, raise selfless leaders, advocate for justice, and finally end this era of bad leadership that has kept our people in chains.”

In a direct message to the INEC chairman and those involved in this manipulative act, he stated that the members of the Nigerian Liberty Movement (NLM) from every village, town, city, and corner of this nation are fully ready and mobilized.

He said, “We will come out en masse in a powerful, strong but peaceful protest if you fail to certify us this week! Starting Monday next week (January 19, 2026), our people will flood every INEC State Headquarters across the 36 states and the National Headquarters in Abuja,” ThisDayMoses revealed.

These protests, according to him, will go on daily, non-stop, until you announce our certification and grant what is rightfully ours by law before it’s too late, so you can easily re-rig your con principal back into the most sacred office in the Nation.

“Be informed that NLM’s National Leader intelligence and global coordination team, who fearlessly wrote to the United States Government and POTUS, exposing the genocide happening in Nigeria and how Nigerian leaders are directly involved in fueling the insecurity destroying our country.

 

You all saw what happened afterward, the international attention, the diplomatic pressure, the global eyes opened wide! Do not play with fire again. The world is watching, and we will make sure they see everything.”

“If INEC fails to announce and certify us this week, despite our fully functional systems, physical headquarters, proven legitimacy, and complete compliance as a genuine political association, we will drag you to court at the Federal High Court next week. We will sue for immediate certification, damages, and complete justice for the suffering this delay has caused millions of aggrieved Nigerians.”

ThisDayMoses also threatened to petition some international organisations and civil society organisations should the decision to deregister them not be reversed.

And if, God forbid, as it has happened too many times, the Federal High Court refuses to uphold the rule of law as we have seen before, we will take this fight global immediately! We will petition and expose everything to: Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), African Union (AU), Commonwealth of Nations, European Union (EU), International Republican Institute (IRI), National Democratic Institute (NDI), Carter Center, International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES), United Nations (UN), Joint International Observation Missions, Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD), Electoral Institute for Sustainable Democracy in Africa (EISA), Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) and all Foreign Embassies and Bilateral Missions here in Nigeria.

Still Earth Holdings Strengthens Governance Structure Through EFCC–SCUML Compliance Training

EFCC boss to Nigerians: Fight against corruption should be collaborative

Still Earth Holdings Strengthens Governance Structure Through EFCC–SCUML Compliance Training

 

Lagos, Nigeria – The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), through its Special Control Unit against Money Laundering (SCUML), has conducted an intensive Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) compliance training for the board and senior management of Still Earth Holdings.

The programme, held over the weekend, was designed to reinforce corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and risk management across the group and its subsidiaries.

Delivering the keynote, Ibinabo Mary Amachree, Head of SCUML Lagos, underscored the importance of board-level responsibility in compliance. She emphasised that under the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act 2022 and the Terrorism Financing Prevention and Prohibition Act 2022, directors now face both personal and corporate liability for systemic failures.

Reinforcing this regulatory warning with a strategic vision, Mr. Mutiu Sunmonu, Chairman of Still Earth Holdings, framed governance as both a moral compass and a competitive differentiator for the group.

“Our responsibility as leaders is not only to deliver profits but to safeguard the reputation and resilience of the institutions we steward,” Sunmonu noted. He asserted that the board’s role is to ensure that every subsidiary—whether in construction, energy, or finance—operates under the same uncompromising ethical framework. “Governance is not a department; it is the DNA of Still Earth,” he added, highlighting that the company’s legacy depends on its ability to harmonize compliance with innovation.

The training session covered critical areas including board responsibilities in AML/CFT oversight, fundamentals of money laundering, terrorism financing risks, legal frameworks, preventive measures, and governance duties. Participants were trained on Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures, customer due diligence, suspicious transaction reporting, targeted financial sanctions screening, and record keeping.

Interactive case studies exposed sector-specific risks across subsidiaries such as Tirex Petroleum & Energy, Still Earth Construction, and Still Earth Capital Finance. Discussions highlighted issues including over-invoicing, shell companies, offshore payments, contract splitting, and the identification of politically exposed persons (PEPs).

Commenting on the operational impact of this vision, Kingsley Inyama, Head of Credit Risk, described the programme as both timely and essential.

He noted: “The essence of the training is to understand when anti-money laundering violations or terrorism financing may be taking place. In business, especially in the international sector, it is important to know the source of funds.” Inyama stressed the importance of identifying beneficial owners in transactions, noting that “the penalties for failing to do so can include fines, sanctions, and even imprisonment.”

The training concluded with a commitment to several high-level board resolutions aimed at cultivating a brand synonymous with probity and excellence:

• Adoption of a zero-tolerance policy on money laundering and terrorism financing.

• Establishment of compliance committees to ensure constant oversight.

• Mandating annual training programmes for staff and management.

• Approval for independent audits to validate internal compliance claims.

The annual compliance programme was attended by staff and management of Still Earth Holdings and its subsidiaries, reinforcing the group’s commitment to embedding integrity at the heart of its operations and building a corporate legacy that transcends financial earnings.

King Saheed Osupa Releases New 2-in-1 Album, Acapella & Metamorphosis By Alhaji Arems (Baba Fuji)

King Saheed Osupa Releases New 2-in-1 Album, Acapella & Metamorphosis

By Alhaji Arems (Baba Fuji)

 

 

Veteran Fuji music icon King Dr. Saheed Osupa has officially released his new 2-in-1 album, Acapella & Metamorphosis, now live on Apple Music and being promoted across other digital platforms. Apple Music lists the project as a 2026 Fuji release containing five songs with a total runtime of 1 hour and 15 minutes.

 

The release arrives after a buildup of promotional activity across social media, where posts describing the project as available on major streaming platforms helped fuel anticipation ahead of the drop. Public-facing materials tied to the rollout also framed the album as a significant new entry in Osupa’s catalog.

 

With Acapella & Metamorphosis, Osupa extends a career that has long positioned him among the most respected voices in Fuji music. His work has consistently carried the weight of Yoruba cultural storytelling, strong lyrical identity, and a sound that continues to resonate with longtime Fuji listeners as well as newer audiences drawn to traditional rhythms. Apple Music’s artist page also places the album at the top of his latest releases, underscoring the project’s arrival as his newest major body of work.

 

The album’s title gives the project an immediate conceptual edge. Acapella suggests a stripped-down, voice-led expression, while Metamorphosis points toward growth, reinvention, and artistic transition. Together, the two titles create the sense of a project that may balance classic Fuji sensibilities with a refreshed presentation, a combination that fits Osupa’s reputation for preserving the foundation of the genre while remaining visibly active in the present era. That reading is an editorial inference based on the album title and release framing, not an official statement from the artist.

 

The release also reflects a wider pattern among legacy acts who continue to treat full-length projects as statements of intent. In an era where many artists rely heavily on singles and shorter drops, a five-track, hour-long album signals patience, range, and confidence in the listening experience. For Osupa, it is also another reminder that Fuji still has room to breathe, evolve, and command attention in a fast-moving streaming landscape.

 

Fans following the rollout have continued to react positively online, with messages of support and anticipation circulating ahead of the release. With the album now available, attention will turn to how listeners receive the project and whether Acapella & Metamorphosis becomes another defining entry in the singer’s long-running catalogue.

 

Acapella & Metamorphosis is available now for streaming.
