The Special Adviser on Political Affairs to Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State, Alhaji Illiyasu Buhari Maijega, has called on the Federal Government to provide more security support to tackle banditry in the state.

He made the appeal while briefing newsmen at his office in Gusau, the state capital.

“A single individual cannot resolve the issue of insecurity in Zamfara State; it is a collective responsibility,” he stated.

He also urged the people of the state to continue praying for peace and stability, stressing that no society can develop without peace.

Maijega commended the Nigerian Army and other security agencies for their efforts in combating insecurity in the state and encouraged them to sustain their efforts for the sake of security.

Abia traditional rulers recieved only N7,000 monthly pay – Ikpeazu’s Ex-Chief of Staff, Agbazuere

The former Chief of Staff to ex-Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, Anthony Agbazuere, has made startling revelations about the administration he served, alleging that traditional rulers in the state received just seven thousand Naira as a monthly stipend.

Abia traditional rulers recieved only N7,000 monthly pay – Ikpeazu’s Ex-Chief of Staff, Agbazuere

The former Chief of Staff to ex-Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, Anthony Agbazuere, has made startling revelations about the administration he served, alleging that traditional rulers in the state received just seven thousand Naira as a monthly stipend.

Agbazuere, who made this statement during the Ehi La Uguru Day celebration on Tuesday, said that only a few monarchs received twenty-one thousand Naira as a stipend before the advent of the current administration under Governor Alex Otti.

The lawyer, regarded as one of the most influential figures during Ikpeazu’s administration, highlighted that the current administration is building many projects. He also claimed that the advice he provided to the previous administration was not implemented.

“Before Governor Alex Otti came on board, traditional rulers were receiving a stipend of 7,000 Naira, while a few others got 21,000 Naira. But he has increased it to 250,000 Naira monthly. He has shown capacity and deserves our support,” Agbazuere said.

Agbazuere also criticized the former administration of Governor Ikpeazu for abandoning the old Abia Airport project. He praised Governor Otti for partnering with the federal government to build an international airport in the state.

“Somebody said that he wanted to build an airport but then claimed that it was traditional rulers who told him not to proceed with the project.

“An airport project we already approved, and somebody turned around to claim that traditional rulers told him not to continue. I don’t understand,” Agbazuere remarked.

Meanwhile, the Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia, Eric Ikwuagwu, has stated that the party would not respond to Agbazuere’s statements, as the former Chief of Staff is now a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Responding to a message from a DAILY POST correspondent, Ikwuagwu said: “The man is a loose cannon praying for political revival.”

Obasanjo reveals how NNPC declined Dangote’s offer to manage Nigeria’s refineries

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has revealed how the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, declined a $750 million offer by billionaire business tycoon Aliko Dangote to manage the Port Harcourt and Kaduna refineries in 2007.

Obasanjo made this revelation during an exclusive interview with Channels Television.

According to the former president, the NNPC was aware that it lacked the capacity to run the national refineries but still rejected Dangote’s offer.

“Aliko got a team together, and they paid $750 million to take part in a PPP (Public–Private Partnership) to run the refineries.

“My successor refunded their money, and I went to him and explained what had transpired.

“They wanted the refineries, and they could run them. I said, ‘But you know they cannot run it,’” Obasanjo said.

DAILY POST reports that Obasanjo served as Nigeria’s democratically elected president from May 1999 to May 2007.

He was also Nigeria’s military Head of State from February 1976 to October 1979.

2025: Marine kingdom has injected agents into the world – MFM Olukoya warns

The General Overseer of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, MFM, Daniel Olukoya, has warned that the marine kingdom has dispatched its agents in the form of women in 2025.

Olukoya cautioned that promiscuous men might disappear after coming into contact with these women from the marine world.

He issued the warning during MFM’s interdenominational crossover and prosperity night at Prayer City, along the Lagos-Ibadan Motorway.

The clergyman emphasized the need for spiritual vigilance, urging believers worldwide to pray for their “spiritual eyes” to be opened and to connect to God’s power through targeted prayers.

According to Olukoya: “The ultimate solution to living successfully in 2025 is to connect to God’s power; you must know God personally and intimately this year and ensure your ‘spiritual eyes’ are open to see things from God’s perspective, the way God is seeing it.

“You must have God’s power to conquer strong enemies this year because the only thing enemies respect is God’s power.

“It is also a year of tragedy for men, especially married men, who engage in relationships with strange women. The marine world has injected into our midst women who are not women but are from another world.

“If you are a man and are fond of going all over the place, you may just disappear. So, you have to be very careful.”
