2027: "I'M NOT SURE OF GETTING ADC PRESIDENTIAL TICKET " - PETER OBI

Former presidential candidate Peter Obi has revealed that he is unsure about securing the presidential ticket of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of the 2027 general elections. Obi spoke candidly about the uncertainties surrounding his political journey and ongoing coalition discussions.

Jehovah’s Witnesses have introduced a notable shift in their long-standing stance on bl+od transfusions, now allowing members to use their own stored bl+od during medical procedures. Under the updated policy, members can have their bl+od removed, preserved, and later reinfused, particularly in planned s¥rgeries. However, the religious group maintains its strict prohibition against receiving bl+od from others. Gerrit Lösch, a member of the group’s leadership, said the decision reflects personal responsibility, noting that “each Christian must decide for himself how his bl+od will be used in medical and s¥rgical care.” Jehovah’s Witnesses, known for their door-to-door evangelism, say their core belief remains unchanged, citing biblical teachings that instruct followers to “abstain from bl+od.” The group has around 144,000 members in the UK and about nine million globally. Despite the adjustment, critics, especially former members, argue the change falls short. Mitch Melo...
