     Prophet Ekong Ituen has urged the Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodinma, to intensify prayers and remain vigilant against what he described as an impending political onslaught that could pose a serious challenge to the governor’s efforts to install a successor. In a message dated September 17, 2026, the cleric said his earlier warning concerning the political activities of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, should not be taken lightly.

             Self a claim Bishop Ogbonda  The atmosphere within the Uyo Diocese of the Anglican Communion has become tense following allegations of intimidation, heavy security presence and the controversial emergence of Ven. Kingsley Ogbonda in connection with the diocese’s bishop election. Furthermore, what many faithful had expected to be a transparent and prayerful process to choose their spiritual leader has instead been described by some congregants as an imposition allegedly disguised as the filling of a Dean’s slot. The controversy deepened with the deployment of three police vans, reportedly carrying armed personnel, following a directive allegedly issued by the Primate of All Nigeria, Most Rev. Henry Ndukuba. It was gathered that, as the faithful gathered for the process, the presence of armed police officers and personnel of the Department of State Services (DSS) reportedly unsettled many worshippers and cast a shadow over what should o...

Says Adeleke’s exclusion from APC contributed to party’s setback; predicts Omisore will become Osun Governor Prophet Ekong Ituen has renewed his criticism of former Osun State Governor, Gboyega Oyetola, over what he described as the decision to prevent Governor Ademola Adeleke from crossing over to the All Progressives Congress (APC). According to Ituen, he had earlier warned that shutting the door against Adeleke would place the party at a political disadvantage and weaken its prospects of securing victory. “I warned you, but you didn’t listen. You blocked Governor Ademola Adeleke from crossing over to the APC, and I told you at the time that your decision would put the party at a serious disadvantage in its quest for victory,” Ituen said. The prophet maintained that subsequent political developments had vindicated his earlier warning, alleging that personal political interests were allowed to take precedence over the wider interests of the party. “Today, the outcome has vindicated my...

 WATCH YOUR BACK, PROPHET EKONG ITUEN WARNS GOV. UMO ENO Prophet Ekong Ituen has urged Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, to be vigilant and discerning about some individuals who followed him from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), warning that not everyone around him may genuinely have his best interests at heart. According to the prophet, while some of these individuals may appear physically present and loyal, their hearts and interests could be elsewhere, driven more by the desire to protect their positions and jobs than by genuine commitment to the Governor’s political success. “In my revelation, I saw some of them working against your victory in 2027. I urge you to be very careful and discerning, because when the moment of truth comes, some of those who appear to stand with you today may not be there when you need them most,” Prophet Ituen cautioned. He stressed that leadership requires not only courage and political wisdom but al...

  Popular Afrobeats superstar, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has celebrated the victory of his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke, in Osun State, describing the outcome as a powerful reminder that political power ultimately belongs to the people. For the people of Abak/Etim Ekpo/Ika Federal Constituency, the development presents an important lesson ahead of the 2027 National Assembly and presidential elections. The political reality is becoming clearer: the people cannot be taken for granted. Political structures, federal influence and party machinery may be powerful, but the final decision rests with the electorate. If the All Progressives Congress (APC) is serious about winning Abak/Etim Ekpo/Ika Federal Constituency in 2027, it must listen to the people and consider giving the ticket to Engr. Iboro Johnny, FNSE. The people have seen what he has done, and his record speaks louder than political promises. Engr. Iboro Johnny, FNSE, facilitated the construction and rehabili...

  …Urges believers not to fear opposition, conspiracies When the storms of life rage, opposition mounts and every human door appears closed, believers must remember that their ultimate hope is not in man, but in God. Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, gave this message of faith and reassurance on Sunday, August 9, 2026, as he ministered at All Nations Christian Ministry International, Eket, where he preached on the theme, “My Shield.” Drawing from Psalm 3:1-3, Governor Eno urged Christians not to interpret difficult seasons, opposition or conspiracies as evidence that God has abandoned them.

In a development that underscores the intensifying power struggle within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), a Federal High Court in Abuja has issued a ruling barring the Makinde–Iniemeobong–Kabiru Turaki-led faction from accessing the party’s national secretariat. The decision, delivered with a firm tone by Justice Joyce Abdulmalik, effectively tilts the balance in favor of members loyal to Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory. The courtroom verdict has sent ripples through the party’s ranks, heightening emotions among supporters on both sides as they grapple with the implications of yet another twist in the ongoing leadership tussle. For many within the PDP, the ruling is more than a legal decision — it is a defining moment that could shape the future direction of the party, intensifying internal divisions while raising fresh questions about unity, loyalty, and the road ahead.
