Today’s Headlines: Vote Tinubu Again for More Projects — Shettima; Adeboye Denies Jonathan Protest

Vice President Kashim Shettima addressed supporters in Calabar on Monday during an APC presidential campaign rally in Cross River State. He urged residents to re-elect President Bola Tinubu in 2027, stating that doing so would bring additional development projects to the state. Shettima argued that Tinubu’s administration has not failed Nigerians and is instead advancing the Renewed Hope Agenda through necessary economic reforms, infrastructure work, and expanded opportunities for young people and women.He specifically highlighted the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway as an example of ongoing infrastructure efforts and described Cross River as strategically important to Nigeria’s economy due to its potential in tourism, agriculture, maritime commerce, and regional trade. Shettima stressed that greater support for Tinubu’s second term would allow the state to benefit more fully from these national initiatives.

THE General Overseer (GO) of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has denied ever leading a protest against former President Goodluck Jonathan.

He said the reports that he carried a placard against the former leader were deliberately twisted.

Adeboye, who spoke yesterday during the November thanksgiving service at the RCCG Headquarters, Ebute Meta, Lagos, said that because the story was twisted in the media, he was branded “A very wicked man” for allegedly carrying a placard against Jonathan.

Social media personality, Saida Boj has criticized Nigerians celebrating Halloween and choosing foreign festivities over their own cultural traditions.

In a video shared on her Instagram page, Saida asked Nigerians what they know about Halloween, its origins and why it is celebrated. According to her, many Nigerians celebrate it without understanding the history.

She admonished Nigerians to take more pride in celebrating local festivals like the Calabar Carnival, Egungun festival, Eyo festival, amidst others.

In her own view, Nigerians lose respect from other countries because of their eagerness to prioritize foreign cultures above theirs.

In her words, “Oversabi don finish Nigerians. Them no rate us but we rate them too much”.
