Says the Church has an integral role to play
The First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria , Senator Oluremi Tinubu,CON has charged religious leaders especially the women to instill discipline, love and the fear of God in their children and other followers.
The First Lady made the remarks during a visit to her office at the State House, Abuja by the Women Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (WOWICAN) led by its National Chairperson, Mrs Victoria Ihesiulor.
According to Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Christianity is a religion of love, meekness and tolerance that need to be extended towards everyone regardless of their faith, race, ethnicity and social background.

The First Lady charged mothers to train up their children.
“Stop speaking down the glory of Nigeria, rather, prepare your children for the glory to come’’
“As for us, we are going to lead according to the fear of God, I am a Nigerian and I don’t want to fly out of this nation, therefore let us all join our hands together in building it.’’
“We are not in office for ethnicity or religiosity”.
“My family is not taking the grace of God to serve Nigeria for granted”.

She noted her tireless work towards uplifting the country out of hardship.
Mrs Ihesiulor said that WOWICAN relentlessly support and pray for President Bola Tinubu, the First Lady and Nigeria for improved peace and development of the nation.

Former Senator Peter Onyelukachukwu Nwaoboshi, who represented Delta North Senatorial District in the Nigerian Senate from 2015 to 2023, has died following a prolonged illness.
The news of his passing was confirmed on Friday through a statement from Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s Chief Press Secretary, Festus Ahon. Details surrounding the exact circumstances of his death remain limited at this time.
Governor Oborevwori described the loss as a profound blow to Delta State, the Anioma nation, and Nigeria. In his condolence message, he referred to the late senator as a “dear friend” and a dedicated public servant.
“On behalf of the government and people of Delta State, I mourn the passing of my dear friend, Senator Peter Onyelukachukwu Nwaoboshi,” Oborevwori stated. “He was a proud son of Delta State and a courageous defender of the Anioma cause, whose contributions to nation-building will remain indelible.
“The governor highlighted Nwaoboshi’s impactful tenure in the National Assembly, particularly as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Niger Delta Affairs, where he advocated strongly for regional development.
Oborevwori also noted the late senator’s political pedigree, including his service as a two-time Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta State before his later affiliation with the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Tributes have poured in from across political lines, with the Delta State APC describing Nwaoboshi as a “fearless voice for his people” and a committed party member whose influence transcended party boundaries.
Nwaoboshi’s legacy is remembered for his courage, loyalty, and unwavering commitment to public service.
Condolences have been extended to his immediate family, the Anioma community, and all those touched by his life.

Alleged N2.2bn fraud: Ngige gets bail, trials continue on January 28
The EFCC alleges that Ngige used his ministerial position between 2015 and 2023 to award contracts unfairly, divert funds, and enrich himself and associates.
Former Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has been granted bail by the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Gwarimpa.
He faces eight counts of charges bordering on abuse of office, contract fraud, and acceptance of kickbacks from contractors linked to the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund.
In Thursday’s ruling, Justice Maryam Hassan adopted the terms of the administrative bail earlier granted by the EFCC.
The court ordered Ngige to produce a surety who must be a serving Federal Government director.
The surety is required to deposit travel documents with the court registrar, as Ngige claims his passport was lost.
The surety must also present landed property with a valid certificate of occupancy within the Federal Capital Territory.
The EFCC alleges that Ngige used his ministerial position between 2015 and 2023 to award contracts unfairly, divert funds, and enrich himself and associates.
The trial is scheduled to commence on January 28, 2026.
