Peter Obi, former governor of Anambra State and 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has expressed deep condolences to the families of Ahmed Makarfi, Mele Kolo Kyari, and Dame Pauline Tallen over the tragic loss of their children.
In a heartfelt message, Obi extended his sympathies to Ahmed Makarfi, former governor of Kaduna State, on the passing of his son Faisal Makarfi, and to Mele Kyari, Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Limited, on the death of his daughter, Fatima Kyari.
He also offered condolences to former Minister of Women Affairs, Dame Pauline Tallen, who recently lost her only son, Richard Adamu Tallen.
In his statement, Obi acknowledged the immense grief of losing young family members with bright futures ahead of them, emphasizing the void such losses create.
He urged the grieving families to accept these painful events as the will of God, who holds the power of life and death.
Obi prayed for God’s mercy and forgiveness for the departed souls and asked for strength and blessings for the Makarfi, Kyari, and Tallen families during this difficult time.
He specifically wished them Aljanna Firdausi, the highest paradise in Islam, and urged the families to find solace in their faith.
Peter Obi, known for his compassionate leadership and strong faith, has been an active figure in Nigerian politics, advocating for good governance, transparency, and unity.
His message reflects his deep empathy and support for fellow public figures, as well as his strong spiritual outlook on life and death.
Omoyele Sowore has criticized northern leaders for shutting down schools to allow children to participate in Ramadan fasting. The decision, implemented in Bauchi, Katsina, Kebbi, and Kano States, has caused criticism from many Nigerians.
Sowore, a well-known Nigerian activist, accused the leaders of hypocrisy, claiming that their children are not affected by the policy since they attend expensive private schools in Abuja or study abroad.
In a statement on his Facebook page, Sowore condemned the move, saying, “Those who decided to shut down schools for Ramadan fasting don’t have their children in these struggling public schools.
Their kids attend top private schools or study overseas, funded by resources meant to support underprivileged students in these poorly maintained schools, which remain open during Ramadan. These leaders are irresponsible and unfair.”
President Donald Trump has announced plans to purchase a new Tesla vehicle to demonstrate his support for Elon Musk amid recent boycotts and a significant drop in Tesla’s stock value.
On his Truth Social platform, Trump praised Musk’s contributions to the nation and criticized efforts to harm the entrepreneur and his company. He stated, “I’m going to buy a brand new Tesla tomorrow morning as a show of confidence and support for Elon Musk, a truly great American.”
In response, Musk expressed gratitude to the president on his social media platform, X. Musk currently leads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under the Trump administration, focusing on reducing federal spending and workforce.
This initiative has caused protests and boycotts targeting Tesla, with incidents of vandalism reported at dealerships and charging stations.
Tesla’s market value has declined sharply, with shares dropping over 15% recently, influenced by Musk’s political involvement and its impact on consumer sentiment. Despite these challenges, Trump continues to voice strong support for Musk’s efforts to “Make America Great Again.”
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has predicted that the country will become extremely wealthy through tariffs.
Trump stated that the U.S. is set to gain hundreds of billions of dollars from tariffs soon. He believes the move will encourage companies and factories to return to the U.S., creating more jobs.
Speaking with FOX Business’ Maria Bartiromo on Air Force One on Sunday evening, Trump responded to concerns about a possible recession. He admitted there’s always hesitation but remained confident about the benefits of the tariffs.
“All I know is we’re going to make hundreds of billions of dollars from tariffs, and we’ll become so rich you won’t even know where to spend it all,” Trump said. “Just watch — there will be more jobs and open factories. It’s going to be great.”
Trump has recently placed tariffs on key trade partners, including Canada, Mexico, and China, as part of his economic strategy.
