Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State has expressed confidence that residents of the state will overwhelmingly support President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections, citing increased financial support from the federal government.

Speaking during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Okpebholo said Edo could deliver as many as 2.5 million votes for the president.

He attributed this optimism to the funds being made available to state governments under Tinubu’s administration, which he said are driving visible development.

“I will get the 2.5 million votes from Edo State; it’s already on the streets. Everybody is coming out to vote for Asiwaju on that day,” the governor stated, assuring that voters would turn out en masse.

Okpebholo also reflected on the 2023 presidential election outcome in the state, where Peter Obi defeated Tinubu. He blamed the result on the performance of the previous administration led by former governor Godwin Obaseki, suggesting that voter dissatisfaction influenced the outcome.

“Peter Obi defeated Tinubu last time because the then governor was not working. People wanted to express their frustration,” he said.

When asked whether his influence would determine Tinubu’s support in Edo, Okpebholo pointed instead to ongoing projects and federal backing.

“Because of the work we are doing, and the money Tinubu is releasing to us to work, that’s what people are seeing. It has never happened in Edo State like this before,” he added.

"I INVESTIGATED PASTOR JERRY EZE FOR MONEY LAUNDERING FOR SIX MONTHS" - EFCC BOSS, OLUKOYEDE

Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ola Olukoyede, has revealed that he once ordered a six-month investigation into popular cleric Jerry Eze over suspected money laundering, only for the probe to take an unexpected turn. Speaking at the Jerry Eze Foundation Business Grant Award Ceremony, Olukoyede said the commission acted on intelligence and petitions after noticing massive inflows into a domiciliary account linked to the pastor. “I investigated this man for six months. Yeah. For money laundering. We work by intelligence, we work by petitions,” he said. According to him, the transactions raised eyebrows due to their global origins. “At some point, I saw there was an account, a domiciliary account. Dollars, pounds were dropping in like raindrops, you know, from Colombia, from, you know, from America, from Sri Lanka, even from Togo.” Curious about the identity behind the account, he said, “I said, ‘Who is this man?’ they said, ‘This one, Pastor Jer...

"I REGRET MY ROLE IN ADC CRISIS, MY LIFE IS IN DANGER" - NAFIU BALA CRIES OUT

The embattled claimant to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) chairmanship, Nafiu Bala Gombe, has reportedly expressed regret over his involvement in the party’s internal crisis, blaming Hon. Leke Abejide and Babachir Lawal. According to his close associate, Nafiu Umaru, who spoke in Abuja, Nafiu lamented that since the crisis began, he and his family have faced threats, making it difficult for him to even attend congregational prayers due to safety concerns. Umaru said Nafiu claimed that promises made to him during the crisis were not fulfilled, adding that he now regrets his involvement in the situation. He further alleged that Hon. Abejide abandoned him after leaving the party, leaving him to face the consequences alone, while Babachir Lawal allegedly influenced him into actions that worsened the crisis. Nafiu also reportedly complained that despite expectations of political compensation, nothing meaningful materialised, except minor financial support for legal expense...

"MEURER AND I WERE NEVER LEGALLY MARRIED; OUR UNION WAS MERELY AN INTRODUCTION," - OLAKUNLE CHURCHILL ADDRESSES DIVORCE RUMOURS.

Nigerian businessman Olakunle Churchill has dismissed reports claiming his relationship with actress Roseline Meurer has ended in divorce, describing the circulating story as false and misleading. In a statement shared on his official Instagram account, Churchill clarified that he and Meurer were never legally married, stressing that their union was limited to a traditional introduction ceremony—a cultural event that does not carry legal weight under Nigerian marriage law. "There is no legally recognised marriage. No church wedding and no court wedding. What we did was an introduction. Therefore, the idea of a 'divorce' is baseless from the beginning," he said. The businessman's response follows widespread rumours suggesting that Meurer had filed for divorce—claims that gained traction amid renewed public attention on Churchill's personal life following his recent reconciliation with ex-wife, actress Tonto Dikeh. Under Nigerian law, a marriage is l...

"I REGRET GOING SOLAR, I'M DISAPPOINTED, NEPA REMAINS THE BEST OPTION" - MAN REGRETS SWITCHING AFTER MILLIONS SPENT

A man has shared his disappointing experience months after switching from NEPA to solar energy, despite spending millions of naira on the installation. According to him, the extremely high cost of electricity in his area, coupled with recommendations from friends and colleagues, pushed him to embrace solar power as a more reliable and cost-effective alternative. He went ahead and installed a full solar system in his home, hoping to enjoy stable power supply and escape the frequent blackouts and exorbitant bills. Unfortunately, he was left deeply disappointed as the solar system f4iled to meet his expectations. He explained that the solar panels up to 10 could not consistently power his household appliances, especially during cloudy or rainy days, and the batteries drained faster than anticipated, forcing him to still rely on the grid at night. The man further emphasized that instead of rushing to switch to solar, which he now considers unreliable and expensive to...

"I STOPPED 50 CENT FROM HOSTING AN EVENT IN PORT HARCOURT," - PASTOR DAVID IBIYEOMIE REVEALS.

"When 50 Cent was still at his peak, he was supposed to come to Port Harcourt for a musical jam. And that same day, we were to hold a crusade. I said, if 50 Cent comes and you believers go for his show, then something is wrong. I said, if he comes to Port Harcourt, I will not come. He was already booked, adverts were everywhere. I said, if 50 Cent performs tomorrow, then God did not call me. I said he will not come. A boy even said, ‘Una hear wetin pastor talk, if 50 Cent no come, I go give my life to Christ.’ But hear the humbling part. He got to Lagos to fly to Port Harcourt and had issues. 50 Cent turned back from there and went back to America. Those who bought tickets for 50 Cent had no choice than to come for my program…” - Founder of Salvation Ministries Pastor David Ibiyeomie recounts how 50 Cent failed to perform in Port Harcourt after his bold declaration, sparking reactions online.

BREAKING NEWS: COURT BARS INEC FROM RECOGNISING ADC CONGRESSES CONDUCTED BY DAVID MARK-LED LEADERSHIP

The Federal High Court in Abuja has restrained INEC from recognising any state congresses conducted by committees appointed by the David Mark-led caretaker leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Delivering judgment on Wednesday, Justice Joyce Abdulmalik held that the responsibility for conducting state congresses rests with the party’s state executive committees, not the national leadership. The court further ruled that the four-year tenure of the ADC’s State Working Committees and State Executive Committees remains valid and subsisting, pending the conduct of properly constituted congresses and the convocation of a national convention. Justice Abdulmalik also held that neither the Nigerian Constitution nor the party constitution empowers the caretaker/interim National Working Committee, led by David Mark, to appoint committees to conduct state congresses. The judgment is on the suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/581/2026 filed by Don Norman Obinna, Johnny Tovie Derek, O...
