Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has issued a strong warning to Nigerians about the rising threat of fire outbreaks across the country.

During his sermon at the church’s February Thanksgiving service held at the Throne of Grace Parish in Ebute-Metta, Lagos, Adeboye urged citizens to remain vigilant and prayerful in the face of potential natural disasters, including storms and floods.

In particular, Adeboye warned farmers preparing their lands for the planting season to be extra cautious about bush burning. He stressed the importance of avoiding any form of open flame around farmlands.

“Do not ignore the dangers of fire,” Adeboye cautioned. “Farmers, please do not burn bushes while preparing your farms. I am telling you this for your own good.”

He concluded by praying for God’s protection over the nation, asking for divine intervention to prevent disasters and grant peace and safety to all.

Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North, has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing deep divisions and leadership struggles within the party.

Nwoko, who was elected to the Senate in 2023 under the PDP, made his decision public in a letter dated January 30, 2025. The letter, addressed to the PDP chairman of Ward 8 in Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State, highlighted his reasons for leaving.

“The party’s fragmentation has made it nearly impossible to push for collective progress,” Nwoko stated.

Despite his resignation, he acknowledged the PDP’s role in his political career, especially for giving him the platform to contest the 2023 senatorial election.

He emphasized that the opportunity allowed him to connect with his constituents and share his vision for development.
