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

Image
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. He noted that while many have questioned his chances within the ADC, there are no guarantees. “I’ve been asked how certain I am that the ADC will give me the ticket. The truth is, I cannot be sure. What matters most is our commitment to a shared cause,” he said. The former Anambra State governor emphasized that his priority is building a movement focused on national interest rather than personal ambition.

BREAKING NEWS: THE APPEAL PANEL OF CAF HAS ANNULLED SENEGAL'S 2025 CAF VICTORY, DECLARES MOROCCO WINNER OF CAF 2025

This decision upholds Morocco's appeal following the chaotic events in the match. The Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time. CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84 (or equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field of play). Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match. Morocco is therefore crowned Africa’s 2025 champion on green tapis (3–0)

JAHOVAH'S WITNESSES, EASE BLOOD TRANSFUSION RULE, ANNOUNCE NEW POLICY

Image
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...
