Adamawa Youths Celebrate Independence Amid Government Cancellation

Young men and women from the Adamawa Concerned Youths took to the streets of Yola on Tuesday, celebrating Nigeria’s 64th independence anniversary despite the state government’s abrupt cancellation of its planned festivities.
Initially, the government had organized the event, securing cultural troupes for entertainment and mobilizing schools for a parade at Mahmud Ribadu Square. However, after a security meeting held by Governor Ahmadu Fintiri with military leaders on the eve of Independence Day, the government decided to cancel the celebration for security reasons.
In a relatively quiet Yola on Tuesday morning, the Adamawa Concerned Youths held a solidarity march, expressing their belief that Nigeria has made significant progress since independence. They praised President Bola Tinubu for his efforts in addressing the country’s challenges. The group’s convener, Yakubu Umar Girei, highlighted the fiscal reforms implemented by the Tinubu administration, noting improvements in economic recovery and social welfare across various sectors in Nigeria.

Fubara Disowns 2027 Campaign Materials, Says He Only Wants Peace for the State

Suspended Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, has distanced himself from campaign materials being circulated ahead of the 2027 elections. Fubara made it clear that he never approved the production of caps, shirts, or any other campaign items for the next general election.
Speaking to his supporters in Port Harcourt on Saturday, Fubara stressed that his focus is on restoring peace and stability in the state, not on political campaigns. His reaction follows the recent resolution of the political crisis in Rivers State by President Bola Tinubu.
The clash between Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory had sparked months of tension, which eventually led to Fubara’s six-month suspension from office. Tinubu even declared a state of emergency in Rivers State during the height of the crisis.
However, the president stepped in last week, holding talks with all parties at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, leading to a temporary truce. Fubara expressed his frustration over the campaign materials, saying, “I was really upset when someone sent me a video of people producing caps and shirts for the 2027 elections.
“I didn’t approve that, I didn’t send anyone to do that. For now, what Rivers State needs is peace so that we can focus on progress and development.”

Pastor Adeboye to Lead National Prayers for Nigeria’s Failing Economy

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, will be leading a national prayer session focused on reviving Nigeria’s struggling economy. The prayer is scheduled to take place during the church’s July 2025 Thanksgiving Service, themed “Divine Intervention”, at the RCCG national headquarters in Oyingbo, Lagos.
Speaking ahead of the event through his Special Assistant on Administration, Pastor Dele Balogun, Pastor Adeboye acknowledged that both Nigeria and other countries are facing tough times. But he believes the current hardship is not beyond repair if people embrace faith and take positive action.
“Our nation is going through serious challenges, just like other parts of the world. But the truth is, we can overcome them with faith, as long as we don’t give room to fear or doubt,” Adeboye said. He encouraged Nigerians to reject negative confessions and instead focus on faith-driven solutions, adding that with God’s intervention, the country’s economic situation can still turn around.
The upcoming prayer session, according to him, is not just about asking for change but about opening doors to new opportunities and paving the way for national transformation.
