President Bola Tinubu has offered his warmest congratulations to His Holiness Leo XIV on his election as the Bishop of Rome and the new leader of the Roman Catholic Church.

The Nigerian President conveyed his best wishes through his media aide, Bayo Onanuga, on Thursday.

Tinubu said he felicitates the conclave for electing the American Robert Francis Cardinal Prevost as the 267th Bishop of Rome.

According to the President, he rejoices warmly with the leadership and congregants of the Catholic Church in Nigeria on the historic election of the new Pontiff, whose message of faith and hope already resonates across the globe, with a reassurance from the scriptures of a more peaceful world.

The congratulatory message read in part: “The President affirms the valued relations shared between Nigeria and the Holy See over many years while acknowledging the rewarding partnership with the Catholic Church in peacebuilding, education, healthcare, infrastructure, and, more recently, the promotion of technology in advancing human capacity.

“We believe the election of Pope Leo XIV opens a new chapter in the history of the Catholic Church and the values of love, humanity and charity, particularly to the underprivileged that it has consistently projected.

“I pray that the Almighty God will continuously shed his light of glory over the new leader of the Catholic Church and grant him good health and wisdom so that he can reach the world with the message of peace and love.”

Wife of Foluke Adeboye has revealed the drastic step she took after becoming born again, throwing away her gold jewellery into a lagoon.

Speaking candidly, the pastor’s wife shared that like many women, she once loved fashion and had even prepared expensive gold items for her young child.

However, everything changed after she joined the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), where wearing earrings was frowned upon at the time.

“The moment we were born again, it was a taboo for you to have earrings. So everything, I dropped it in the lagoon,” she said.

She recalled how a family friend questioned her decision, suggesting she could have given the jewellery to her mother to sell instead.

But She stood firm, “Whatever is not good for me is not good for my mother.”

Reflecting on her journey, she made it clear she has no regrets about her sacrifice.
“I don’t miss anything, not much, because I have already sold my life,” she added.

ADC calls on women to lead, shape Nigeria’s future

Published

on

As Nigeria observes International Women’s Day 2026, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has urged women to take active roles in politics and leadership to help build a more inclusive nation.

In a statement on Sunday, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, said Nigerian women carry a disproportionate share of social and economic responsibilities but remain underrepresented in decision-making positions.

“From mothers and teachers to doctors, nurses, and entrepreneurs, women sustain our nation every day. Yet their voices are often absent when decisions about our future are made,” the statement read.

The ADC highlighted that its National Working Committee is deliberately structured to include women, and emphasized that the party is the only one in Nigeria whose constitution reserves 40 per cent of all positions at every level for women.

“For the ADC, women are partners in nation-building, and empowering them strengthens Nigeria’s democracy. When Nigerian women rise, the nation rises with them,” Abdullahi added.

The party urged more women across the country to join its platform and contribute to shaping Nigeria’s political and democratic future.

“To the ADC, women are indispensable to the future of Nigerian democracy. A nation of over two hundred million people cannot reach its full potential when half of its population remains underrepresented in political leadership. Nigeria’s democracy will only become stronger when its institutions reflect the strength, talent, and diversity of its people,” the statement emphasized.
