Bauchi Governor Bala Mohammed Alleges FCT Minister Wike Plotting Against Him, Wike Denies Claims

Wale busari03 mins

Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed has alleged that political actors, including the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, are trying to damage his reputation and link him to terrorism financing and banditry. Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Thursday, Mohammed dismissed the allegations, insisting Bauchi remains one of the safest states in northern Nigeria. He accused Wike of attempting to destabilise his administration and described efforts to implicate him and his relatives in false corruption claims. “Somebody said he’s going to put fire in my state—FCT Minister Wike. A rising politician and opposition leader being accused of terrorism is very painful. Even my nephew was wrongly dragged into a corruption case,” Mohammed said. The governor said he had written to the Attorney General of the Federation and relevant agencies and would seek international protection, calling the situation “victimisation” and a violation of his fundamental human rights. Mohammed also labelled Wike an “undertaker” in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), claiming the minister is not a genuine member and works to undermine opposition leaders like him. He warned that political intolerance and impunity could have serious consequences for Nigeria. Responding during a visit to Abua-Odual local government in Rivers State, Wike rejected the allegations, saying Mohammed was trying to shift blame for his own political struggles. “I watched what the Bauchi governor is saying, that all the problems he’s having, that I’m the one because I said I will put fire in his state. If I had such power, why would he be fighting?” Wike asked. The former Rivers State governor maintained that Mohammed’s difficulties stem from internal PDP disputes in Bauchi, not from him personally. He also denied any involvement in the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) investigations targeting Mohammed’s associates. “This is to tell Nigerians to leave me alone and go face your own problems. I’m only challenging you as party leadership; I’m not interested in what you spend,” Wike said.

Gabon Suspends National Team, Sacks Coaching Staff, Bans Aubameyang And Manga After AFCON 2025 Failure

Wale busari03 mins

The Gabonese government has suspended the national football team and dissolved the coaching staff following the country’s disappointing exit from the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). Head coach Thierry Mayouma, a former Gabon international with over 30 caps, and his technical team have been dismissed. In addition, captain Bruno Ecuele Manga and all-time top scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have been banned from future national team selection, despite missing Gabon’s final group game against Ivory Coast. Gabon lost their opening two group matches before blowing a 2-0 lead in their final game, succumbing 3-2 to the defending champions after Bazoumana Toure scored a stoppage-time winner. The defeat left the Panthers at the bottom of Group F. In a statement broadcast on national television, the government said: “Given the Panthers’ disgraceful performance at the Total Energies Morocco 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, and considering the multifaceted effects that are diametrically opposed to the values of ethics and exemplarity advocated by the Fifth Republic, the Government has decided: to dissolve the technical staff; to suspend the national team until further notice; to remove players Bruno Ecuele Manga and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from the team. “Furthermore, the Government calls on the Gabonese Football Federation to assume all its responsibilities.” Aubameyang, who is Gabon’s all-time leading scorer with 41 goals, had returned to Marseille due to injury before the final group match, while Manga, the country’s most capped player with 105 appearances, was dropped after starting the first two games. The sanctions come after Gabon’s broader struggles in international competitions, including failing to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, despite winning eight of their 10 qualifying matches and losing to Nigeria in a play-off semi-final.

Netanyahu Announces Israel’s Initiative To Protect Christian Communities In Nigeria

Wale busari02 mins

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced plans for Israel to launch a “new front” focused on protecting Christian communities in Africa and the Middle East, including Nigeria. The announcement was made during a speech on Wednesday, later shared on the official YouTube channel of the Israeli Prime Minister. Addressing Christian Zionists, Netanyahu said Israel’s engagement is expanding beyond military operations to counter what he described as global threats to Judeo-Christian values. He referenced Israel’s recent “seven-front war,” which he said the country had largely overcome, but noted that a new challenge had emerged. This initiative, he said, will target public opinion, particularly among young people, in a battle for “hearts and minds.” “I see the battle against us and the battle against our Judeo-Christian tradition basically being waged around the globe,” Netanyahu said. He identified “radical Shiite Islam and radical Sunni Islam” as the main forces behind the challenge, pointing to Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood as leading opposing axes. Netanyahu added that the threat extends beyond Israel, affecting allies such as the United States and the broader Western world. Noting the persecution of Christians in several countries, including Syria, Lebanon, Nigeria, and Turkey, Netanyahu said Israel is uniquely positioned to protect these communities and support their growth. He further announced plans to form a coalition of countries, modeled on a United Nations framework, to support and safeguard Christian communities worldwide, especially those facing threats and persecution.

But as I listened to the priest, I suddenly realised he was speaking to me,” Akpabio said. The Senate President explained that the message led him to forgive those involved, prompting his decision to discontinue all legal actions. “Therefore, I hereby direct my solicitors to withdraw all lawsuits against them,” he stated.
