Verydarkman Urges State of Emergency and Fuel Price Cut Amid Escalating FCT Protests
Capital Territory (FCT). As demonstrations grow increasingly intense and disruptive, concerns are mounting about the potential for further violence and instability.
The situation has prompted urgent calls for a decisive response from the highest levels of government. Verydarkman has called on the President to take immediate action by declaring a state of emergency.
This step, he argues, is crucial for regaining control and ensuring the safety and security of the citizens affected by the unrest.
By invoking emergency powers, the government would be able to implement measures more swiftly and effectively to address the crisis.
In addition to declaring a state of emergency, Verydarkman recommends that the President convene a high-level meeting with the service chiefs.
This meeting would be an opportunity to evaluate the current situation, develop a coordinated response strategy, and deploy resources where they are most needed.
The collaboration of security forces and other relevant authorities is deemed essential for restoring order and preventing further escalation.
Another critical aspect of the response proposed by Verydarkman is addressing the economic grievances that may be contributing to the unrest.
To alleviate some of the public discontent, he suggests reducing fuel prices to N150.
This measure, he believes, could help ease the financial burden on the average citizen and potentially reduce the level of frustration fueling the protests.
By lowering fuel costs, the government could provide immediate relief to the populace and help stabilize the broader economic environment.
Nigerian Gospel Artist Israel Terhemba Ikyereve, popularly known by his stage name New Jerusalem, has reportedly passed away.
The late gospel singer passed away at the age of 53, friends and family as well as the government in Benue state mourns the loss of the singer.
The date of burial was also announced by his family, on Saturday, July 5, 2025, in Sati Agirigi, Mbamo, Shitile, Katsina-Ala LGA of Benue 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.”
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.
