‘I wasn't called fake when I supported Obi, Jonathan’ — Charismatic bishop replies critics over Tinubu endorsement

Leonard Kawas, president-general of the Charismatic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN), has defended his support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid, saying his involvement in Nigerian politics predates the current administration.

Kawas’ defence comes amid criticism of the group’s endorsement of Tinubu, with some Nigerians questioning his credentials as a bishop.

Speaking during an interview on Saturday, Kawas said he had spent 25 years in the clergy and supported political leaders in the past, including Olusegun Obasanjo, Goodluck Jonathan, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, without being labelled a fake bishop.

“I travelled around this country with Doyin Okupe. I travelled around this country at 2 am. with John Dara and others. We were campaigning from church to church, and nobody called me a fake bishop,” he said.

‘Our platforms came under cyberattacks’ — ex-INEC commissioner speaks on 2023 presidential poll results upload glitch

Festus Okoye, a former national commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), says the electoral umpire’s “platforms” were targeted by cyberattacks during the 2023 presidential election.

Okoye spoke during an interview on Deep Insights, a podcast hosted by Austin Agbonsuremi.

Before the 2023 elections, INEC had assured Nigerians that polling unit results would be uploaded to its viewing portal (IReV), an online platform that allows voters, political parties, candidates, observers and other stakeholders to independently view scanned copies of result sheets in real time.

‘Horse-trading over presidency they don’t have’ — Felix Morka tackles Kwankwaso for saying he’ll take care of Atiku

Felix Morka, the All Progressives Congress (APC) spokesperson, has criticised Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the running mate to Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), over his remark about the 2023 elections.

On Monday, Kwankwaso asked Atiku to drop his presidential ambition and support him and Obi in the 2027 elections.

Kwankwaso asked Atiku to step aside from the presidential race due to his age and health, adding that they will take care of the former vice-president if the NDC wins the election.

Subsidy: We governors should account for subsidy removal gains, not Tinubu —Dapo Abiodun

Dapo Abiodun, governor of Ogun, says state governors, rather than President Bola Tinubu, should explain how the gains from the removal of petrol subsidy are being spent.

Abiodun spoke on Thursday during a rally held by the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the Dipo Dina International Stadium in Ijebu-Ode.

He said governors are better placed to account for the gains because the funds have increased allocations to states, which he said have been used to finance infrastructural projects.
