2026 Ojude Oba festival to honour late Awujale’s legacy — Coordinator

The Coordinator of the Ojude Oba festival in Ijebu Ode, Prof Fassy Yusuf, has said that the 2026 edition of the festival will be dedicated to celebrating the legacy of the late Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, who died in July last year at the age of 91 after a 65-year reign. Yusuf made this known on Tuesday during a world press conference held at the Awujale palace in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State. He dismissed claims circulating on social media suggesting that the festival would be suspended following the monarch’s death, insisting that the late Awujale himself insisted that the celebration must continue regardless of his passing. According to him, “Ojude Oba must never be suspended on account of his passage or during any interregnum.” He added that the 2026 edition is themed “Ojude Oba 2026: Celebrating The Legacy of Oba Sikiru Adetona,” noting that it would serve as both a cultural celebration and a tribute to the late monarch’s enduring impact. Yusuf described the late Awujale as a visionary ruler whose reign transformed traditional leadership in Ijebuland and strengthened unity, development, and cultural pride. He said concerns that the festival would not hold due to the transition of the monarch were unfounded, stressing that Ojude Oba is a cultural heritage that goes beyond individual rulers. “The festival remains a sacred cultural institution that must continue to flourish,” he said. The coordinator also disclosed that the grand finale of the 2026 celebration is scheduled for Friday, May 29, 2026, two days after Eid al-Adha. According to him, this year’s event will feature about 90 male and female age-grade groups (Regberegbe), as well as 25 warrior families who will participate in traditional horse-riding displays. He noted that the festival continues to attract millions of participants from across Nigeria and the diaspora, serving as a symbol of religious tolerance, unity, and cultural identity of the Ijebu people.

Serie A: Conte to leave Napoli at end of season — Report

Serie A club Napoli is reportedly set for a managerial change at the end of the season after head coach Antonio Conte decided to leave the club. According to reports, Conte decided about a month ago and has already informed club president Aurelio De Laurentiis. The departure is expected to happen at the end of the current campaign. Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano wrote on X on Tuesday, “Antonio Conte has decided to leave Napoli at the end of the season, it’s over. “Conte made his decision and informed the president De Laurentiis already one month ago. “There will be no exit fee, Conte will leave without severance pay and without any agreement elsewhere.” Conte’s spell at Napoli attracted major attention because of his reputation as a demanding and results-driven manager known for reshaping teams quickly and imposing tactical discipline. His reported decision to leave now leaves the club facing another major transition as it prepares to review its long-term sporting plans. Although Napoli has yet to issue an official statement, internal discussions are expected to focus on identifying a replacement once the season ends. During his time at the club, Conte guided Napoli to major success, winning the Serie A title in his debut season and also securing the Supercoppa Italiana, underlining his immediate impact on the squad.

Osun Police Launch Violent Crime Response Unit, Set Up Civilian Oversight Committee

The Police Command in Osun State has launched a new Violent Crime Response Unit and constituted a civilian committee to strengthen security operations across the state. The initiative is aimed at improving rapid response to violent crimes and enhancing collaboration between security agencies and members of the public in Nigeria. According to the police authorities, the new unit will focus on tackling armed robbery, kidnapping, cult-related violence, and other serious criminal activities reported in different parts of the state. The command said the creation of the unit is part of ongoing reforms designed to improve operational efficiency and ensure faster response to emergency security situations. Alongside the unit, a civilian committee has been set up to support community engagement, improve intelligence sharing, and strengthen trust between residents and the police. Security officials noted that public cooperation remains critical in addressing violent crime, especially through timely reporting of suspicious activities. The police added that the new structure is expected to improve coordination between communities and security operatives in addressing safety challenges. Authorities have urged residents to work closely with the unit as it begins full operations across the state.

Jonathan has bought 2027 PDP presidential form – Party chieftain

A former presidential aide and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Umar Sani, has claimed that former President Goodluck Jonathan has already purchased a presidential nomination form ahead of the 2027 general elections. Sani, who served as Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to former Vice President Namadi Sambo, made the claim during an appearance on Trust TV on Tuesday. The statement comes amid renewed political consultations involving Jonathan, which have continued to fuel speculation about a possible return to active partisan politics. Although the former president has not publicly declared his intention to contest the 2027 presidential election or confirmed the political platform he may use, Sani insisted that Jonathan’s actions already showed clear political interest. He also suggested that internal crises within the PDP may have influenced Jonathan’s cautious approach to openly declaring his ambition. “The issue is not about whether we will extract commitment from him. What is most important in politics is action. “If your action suggests you are interested, there are certain actions to follow. One of which is the procurement of the nomination form,” Sani said. According to him, the former president has already completed the process of obtaining the form and is preparing to submit it publicly. “He has procured the nomination form. In fact, he is about to come and submit the forms publicly. “So it is not an issue of whether we are trying to bring or use him for our face-saving grace, whatever. No. “The fact of the matter is that we believe that Jonathan is the right choice at this moment,” he added. Sani also expressed confidence that the legal challenge questioning Jonathan’s eligibility to contest the presidency again would fail in court. According to him, the issue had already been decided judicially and could not be reopened except by the Supreme Court. “We are very confident that the matter will be thrown out because you cannot relitigate something that has already been decided upon,” he stated. He further argued that the pending suit before Justice Peter Lifu would likely be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction when it comes up on May 26. Sani dismissed suggestions that Jonathan’s supporters were merely using his popularity for political relevance, insisting that many Nigerians still remained emotionally attached to the former president because of memories of his administration. “Most Nigerians know him and are nostalgic about Jonathan. At the time he left office, many people felt the PDP was not performing, but now Nigerians have seen the difference clearly,” he said. Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015 before losing his re-election bid to former President Muhammadu Buhari. Since leaving office, he has largely focused on diplomatic and mediation roles across Africa while staying away from direct partisan political activities.

Borno gov vows safe return of 48 abducted school children

Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has assured residents of Mussa community in Askira Uba Local Government Area that all efforts are being intensified to secure the safe release of 48 abducted school children. The governor gave the assurance on Tuesday during a visit to Uba town to sympathise with parents and residents affected by the abduction. Addressing the gathering, Zulum expressed sympathy to the Emir of Uba, the parents of the abducted children, and the entire Uba Emirate over the incident. “I want to convey my deepest sympathy to the Emir of Uba, parents of the abducted children, and the entire people of Uba Emirate over the recent unfortunate incident,” Zulum said. He assured residents that the Federal Government, security agencies, and the Borno State Government were working together to ensure the children regain their freedom. “Let me assure you that the Federal Government under the distinguished leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Nigerian Armed Forces, and the Borno State Government will do everything possible to secure the release of the children,” he assured. The governor commended the military and other security agencies for taking proactive measures to prevent the situation from worsening. He disclosed that top security officials, including the Brigade Commander, Commanding Officer, Divisional Police Officer, and other security heads, had already been deployed to strengthen security in the area and facilitate the rescue operation. Zulum also pledged to reinforce security in Askira, Uba, and neighbouring communities to prevent future attacks. “We have made frantic efforts to stabilise Askira, Uba, and adjoining communities through reinforcing security in these areas,” he said. The governor appealed to the abductors to release the children, stressing that they were innocent minors who deserved parental care and protection. He further urged residents of the Uba Emirate and the entire state to intensify prayers during the first 10 days of the holy month of Dhul Hijjah. Speaking during the visit, the Emir of Uba, Alhaji Ali Ibn Isma’ila Mamza II, disclosed that the attack occurred on Friday, May 15, when 48 persons were abducted in Mussa community. According to the monarch, the victims include 37 primary school pupils, six secondary school students, and five other residents. The Emir commended Governor Zulum for his efforts in tackling insecurity and supporting communities within the emirate. Also speaking, a representative of the Mussa community, Dr Chinapi Amanja, appreciated the governor’s visit and acknowledged the deployment of senior military officers and other security personnel to the area.

Conte Reportedly Set to Leave Napoli at End of Season

Antonio Conte is expected to leave SSC Napoli at the end of the current season, according to reports in Italy. The Italian manager, who took charge of Napoli amid high expectations, is said to be considering an exit after completing the campaign, though no official confirmation has been made by the club or the coach. Conte’s future has been a subject of speculation in recent weeks, with reports linking him to possible moves within Serie A and other top European leagues. Under his leadership, Napoli have been working to rebuild competitiveness in the Italian top flight, the Serie A, following a period of transition in the squad. Sources suggest discussions around his long-term project at the club have not yet resulted in a clear continuation plan beyond the current season. Napoli officials have not publicly commented on the report, and Conte himself is yet to address the claims directly. The situation is expected to become clearer as the season progresses and clubs begin planning for the next campaign.

TY Danjuma Praises Gowon’s ‘No Victor, No Vanquished’ Policy on Civil War Healing

Former Defence Minister, Theophilus Danjuma, has praised the post-civil war reconciliation policy introduced by former Head of State Yakubu Gowon, describing the “no victor, no vanquished” slogan as key to national healing after Nigeria’s civil war. Danjuma made the remarks while reflecting on efforts to rebuild unity in Nigeria following the end of the conflict in 1970.He said the policy helped reduce resentment and supported efforts to reintegrate affected regions into national life after years of division and conflict. The “no victor, no vanquished” declaration was introduced at the end of the civil war to promote reconciliation and discourage retaliation among citizens. Danjuma noted that the message played an important role in stabilising the country during a sensitive period, even though challenges remained in achieving full national unity. His comments come amid continued discussions about historical reconciliation, national identity, and the long-term impact of post-war policies in Nigeria. Observers say the statement highlights the importance of peace-building measures in countries recovering from internal conflict. Further reflections on Nigeria’s post-war history continue to shape public discourse around unity and governance.

Kukah Says El-Rufai Revoked Yakubu Gowon’s Abuja Land Allocation

The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Kukah, has said that former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai revoked a land allocation belonging to former Head of State Yakubu Gowon in Nigeria. Kukah made the claim while speaking on issues surrounding governance, authority, and respect for national figures, using the example to highlight tensions that can arise in public administration decisions. According to him, the action involved the withdrawal of land previously allocated to Gowon in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, during El-Rufai’s time in office. The statement has since generated public reactions, with discussions focusing on governance conduct, institutional respect, and the handling of allocations involving prominent national figures. El-Rufai has not publicly responded to the specific claim made by Kukah at the time of reporting. The issue has added to ongoing conversations about land administration in Abuja, where allocation and revocation decisions are typically handled by relevant federal authorities. Further clarifications or responses from involved parties are expected as the matter continues to attract attention.
