At Ijebu Ode, President Tinubu Pays Tribute to Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Adetona, Extolling His Integrity

President Bola Tinubu has described the late Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, as an embodiment of integrity, humility, culture, dedication, and service to humanity. The Awujale passed away on Sunday, July 13, and was interred the following day.

At the eighth-day prayer held on Sunday for the late monarch at the Otunba Dipo Dina Stadium in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, President Tinubu said the Awujale was a pride of the Yoruba race.

He noted that the late Awujale left behind legacies worthy of emulation and recalled the prayers and support he received from the late Oba during his tenure as Governor of Lagos State and in the run-up to his assumption of the presidency.

President Tinubu described Oba Adetona as a worthy leader—bold, courageous, and truthful—adding that "he would never deceive you."He commended Governor Dapo Abiodun for his exemplary relationship with the late Oba and for caring for him both in life and death.

President Tinubu also recalled the counsel and prayers he received from the late Oba during his tenure as Governor of Lagos State and in the lead-up to the 2023 presidential election. The President offered prayers for strength and solace for the bereaved family and all those mourning the passing of the departed Oba.

Governor Dapo Abiodun thanked President Tinubu for coming to commiserate with the family of the late Awujale. The Governor highlighted the numerous contributions the late monarch made to Ijebuland, Ogun State, and Nigeria as a whole.

Muslim clerics, led by Imam Prof. Kamaldeen Balogun, the Grand M***i of Egbaland, offered prayers for the late monarch and reflected on the certainty of death. The Imam reminded the gathering that "only our good deeds while on earth will be of any worth upon our death. “Earlier, at the Igbeba Palace of the late Oba, President Tinubu, accompanied by the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, offered solemn prayers at the Oba's tomb for the repose of his soul. He later held a private meeting with the Oba's family.

Senate warns Natasha to stay away from National Assembly

The Senate has cautioned suspended Kogi lawmaker, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan to desist from forcefully resuming her legislative duties on Tuesday until the expiration of her suspension. Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Yemi Adaramodu gave the warning in a statement issued on Sunday.

While insisting that no valid court order mandates her immediate recall, Adaramodu emphasised that the Senate remains committed to due process and the rule of law.He said the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria reaffirmed, for the third time, that there is no subsisting court order mandating the Senate to recall Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan before the expiration of her suspension.

The clarification followed media reports quoting the embattled lawmaker as saying she would return to the Senate on Tuesday, allegedly based on a judgment by Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja. Adaramodu said the Senate had previously issued two public statements after the court ruling and the release of the Certified True Copy of the Enrolled Order, making it clear that no positive or mandatory directive was issued against the Senate regarding her recall.

The Senate Spokesman said the Honourable Court gave a non-binding advisory urging the Senate to consider amending its Standing Orders and reviewing the suspension, which it opined might be excessive. He posited that the Court, however, explicitly held that the Senate did not breach any law or constitutional provision in imposing the disciplinary measure based on the Senator’s misconduct during plenary.

The Senate further noted that the same court found Akpoti-Uduaghan guilty of contempt and imposed penalties, including a ₦5m fine payable to the Federal Government and a mandatory apology in two national newspapers and on her page, a directive that has reportedly not been complied with. He warned that any move by the suspended lawmaker to “storm the Senate next Tuesday under a false pretext” would be premature, disruptive, and a breach of legislative order.

Constitution Review: Reps Vow to Make Process All-Inclusive

The House of Representatives has pledged to make the constitution amendment process inclusive, promising to “speak with Nigerians, not for them.”

At the South-South Zonal Public Hearing in Calabar, House Minority Leader Hon. Kingsley Chinda emphasized that the committee is neutral and open to public input, with no fixed positions on the over 50 proposed amendments.

Chinda presented 60+ amendment bills grouped under 13 thematic areas, including electoral and judicial reforms, state policing, local government autonomy, inclusive governance, devolution of powers, and recognition of traditional institutions.

He encouraged organized, written submissions to avoid duplication, especially on state creation.

Cross River and Rivers States expressed strong support for state police, new states, and greater inclusion of women and persons with disabilities.

Cross River’s Deputy Governor, Peter Odey, called the hearing a “profound moment in history,” urging lawmakers to listen to the people and build a more just and inclusive system.

Rivers State representative Mrs. Vera Sam-Dike endorsed 73 of the amendment bills, including those on resource control, judicial reform, and traditional roles.

She emphasized that state policing is urgently needed to tackle worsening insecurity.

Both states called on the National Assembly to ensure these hearings lead to real change, not empty promises

Kaduna State Police Command has issued a security advisory, warning against a planned political rally by supporters of former presidential candidate Mr. Peter Obi, scheduled to hold in honour of his birthday

According to a statement signed by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Mansir Hassan, the Command received credible intelligence suggesting that the rally, though intended as a show of support, may be infiltrated by criminal elements aiming to incite violence and disrupt public order

The police emphasised that all forms of political rallies and public political gatherings remain suspended in the state, pending the official commencement of political activities as prescribed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The Command also noted that several political parties in the state are scheduled to conduct their primaries on the same day as the proposed rally, with proper notifications already submitted to the police in line with established protocols. Authorities fear the overlap of events could result in heightened tension, clashes, and a breakdown of law and order in affected areas.
