Peter Obi, on behalf of his family and the Obidient movement, has extended heartfelt condolences to the Governor of Jigawa State, Umar Namadi, following the tragic deaths of his mother, Hajiya Maryam Namadi, and his son, Abdulwahab.
In a post shared on his X handle, Obi expressed deep sorrow, acknowledging the overwhelming pain the Governor and his family are facing.
He mentioned learning of the death of the Governor’s mother earlier and was preparing to offer condolences when he received the devastating news of his son’s death in a motor accident.
Obi emphasized that the death of a loved one is always difficult, but the Governor’s loss is especially poignant.
He joined in prayers for Governor Namadi and his family, asking that the Almighty grant them strength and fortitude to bear the sorrow and accept the losses as part of God’s will.
He prayed for the forgiveness of the deceased, asking that Almighty Allah grant them Aljanna Firdausi, a place in paradise.
Obi also prayed for continued protection and blessings for the Namadi family.
It has been reported that Niger State and some northern states have come together and agreed to take down 979 forests in order to strengthen national security.
This was revealed by the Niger State Governor, represented by his deputy, Yakubu Garba, at the passing-out parade in Mutum Daya.
He also shared that the government will support in any way they can in order to achieve this and strengthen security in Nigeria.
“The state will make necessary arrangements to support and empower the Forest Guard families for their service to the nation. We will provide them with adequate healthcare insurance scheme.”
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
