Bishop David Oyedepo Vows To Stay Clear Of Politics, Says Not Even $1 Billion Can Change His Calling

Wale busari02 mins

Bishop David Oyedepo, founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, has declared that he will not engage in partisan politics, emphasizing that no sum of money, including $1 billion, could sway him from his divine mission. Speaking at the impartation service of Shiloh, the church’s annual convocation at Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State, Oyedepo urged believers to stay committed to their God-given callings, highlighting that true influence and impact come from remaining within one’s purpose. “Partisan politics is off my calling. If you give me $1 billion to join politics, I won’t, because it’s off my course,” he stated. Citing Romans 8:19, the cleric said the world is in desperate need of solutions from individuals who understand and remain faithful to their divine assignments. “In 2015, I warned the church that trouble was coming. Didn’t trouble come?” he asked. “The world is groaning in darkness, but the world is waiting for the manifestation of the children of God.” He further explained that those called by God would play crucial roles in tackling national challenges, drawing inspiration from biblical figures. “The army of God is about to emerge to proffer solutions to national crises in the order of Joseph and Daniel,” Oyedepo said. Shiloh, which began on Tuesday, December 9, will run through Sunday, December 14, featuring sessions focused on teaching, prayer, and impartation for attendees.

Bola Oyebamiji, the immediate past Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority, has clinched the All Progressives Congress ticket for the Osun State governorship race after emerging as the party’s consensus choice. His adoption was concluded at the APC primary held in Osogbo, where fellow aspirants Kunle Adegoke (SAN) and Senator Babajide Omoworare formally proposed his candidacy. The motion was presented to party members by the chairman of the APC governorship primary committee and Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, and was unanimously endorsed through a voice vote. Announcing the outcome, Okpebholo declared, “By the power conferred on me, I present to you Bola Oyebamiji, as the governorship candidate of our party.” The primary commenced with the arrival of the committee led by Okpebholo, who had earlier indicated that the party’s flagbearer would be chosen by affirmation. He was joined by the committee’s co-chairman, Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, alongside Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule, Dr Obafemi Hamzat representing the Lagos State Governor, and former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello. Ahead of the exercise, the party confirmed 1,660 delegates eligible to participate in the primary. Developments leading to the event also pointed to an agreement among the seven APC governorship aspirants in the state to support a consensus candidate following a late-night meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the State House in Abuja. Former APC National Secretary, Senator Iyiola Omisore, later publicly endorsed the arrangement. Speaking on TVC News’ Politics Tonight, Omisore said he aligned with the party’s decision after consultations with President Tinubu, despite being among the aspirants earlier disqualified by the APC Screening Committee over alleged violations of party and electoral guidelines.

There’s No Christian Genocide in Nigeria, Tinubu Says, Blames Insecurity on Criminality and Extremism

Wale busari04 mins

President Bola Tinubu has rejected claims that Christians are being specifically targeted in Nigeria, stressing that both Christians and Muslims face the same threats from terrorism. He made the remarks on Friday in Abuja while inaugurating the Nasrul-Lahi-l-Fatih Society 8th Biennial Conference and Annual General Meeting, themed “Building Resilience in a Changing World: The Role of Faith and Community.” Tinubu was represented at the event by Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi. According to Tinubu, the country’s insecurity stems from historical, economic, and criminal factors, not religious persecution. He said terrorism in Nigeria is driven by criminality and extremism, affecting all citizens regardless of faith. His statement comes after former US President Donald Trump claimed that Christians in Nigeria were being persecuted and threatened military intervention if the government did not act. Trump had labeled Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern,” prompting the government to send a delegation led by National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu to brief US lawmakers on the nation’s security challenges. Speaking at the NASFAT event, Tinubu said: “In recent times, the Federal Government and other persons of goodwill have had to address unfounded allegations. These allegations are not only false but harmful, and capable of inflaming passions and disrupting the peaceful coexistence we continue to build as a nation. Nigeria’s response was clear, firm and measured. We reaffirmed that our nation does not foster or tolerate policies or actions aimed at persecuting any religious group. Muslims and Christians alike have been victims of terrorism in Nigeria. Muslims and Christians alike stand shoulder to shoulder in condemning violence from any quarter. “As President, I reiterate with all sense of responsibility and fidelity to the Constitution that there is no Christian genocide in Nigeria, and there is no Muslim genocide in Nigeria. What we have is terrorism driven by criminality and extremism—challenges we are working tirelessly to overcome.” He emphasized the government’s commitment to promoting national unity, religious freedom, and the security of every citizen, warning against narratives that could sow division. “Nigeria’s strength lies in its diversity and the ability of its people to coexist peacefully while practicing different faiths,” he said. He also commended NASFAT for its work in fostering moderation, tolerance, and service to humanity as tools for national unity. Keynote speaker Dr Nurudeen Lemu urged Muslims to remain steadfast in faith and optimistic despite the country’s challenges.

US Forces Storm Cargo Ship Travelling From China to Iran: Report

Fola Badmus03 mins

United States forces reportedly raided a cargo ship travelling from China to Iran in November, marking the latest example of increasingly aggressive maritime tactics by the administration of President Donald Trump. According to a report by The Wall Street Journal published on Friday, US military personnel boarded the vessel several hundred miles from Sri Lanka. Unnamed officials said the incident marked the first time in several years that US forces had intercepted cargo travelling from China to Iran. The operation took place weeks before US authorities seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela earlier this week, citing alleged sanctions violations. Officials described the November raid as another step in a pattern of actions Washington has not taken in years. US Indo-Pacific Command did not immediately confirm the report. However, an official told the newspaper that materials seized during the operation were “potentially useful for Iran’s conventional weapons.” The official added that the items were considered dual-use, meaning they could have both civilian and military applications. Sources said the ship was allowed to continue its journey after the interdiction, which reportedly involved US special operations forces. Iran remains under extensive US sanctions. Neither Tehran nor Beijing immediately responded to the report, though China, a key trading partner of Iran, has consistently criticised US sanctions as illegal. Earlier on Friday, China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun condemned the seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker by US forces, which was taken to a port in Texas. Guo said Beijing opposes unilateral sanctions and what it described as “long-arm jurisdiction” without authorisation from the United Nations Security Council. The latest maritime action comes amid heightened US pressure on Venezuela, a move Caracas has accused Washington of pursuing in an effort to undermine President Nicolas Maduro’s government. Meanwhile, White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Thursday that the Trump administration would not rule out additional vessel seizures near Venezuela in the future.
