Northern CAN mourns Plateau chairman, Rev Fr. Lubo
The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, in the North, has mourned the death of the Plateau State Chairman of the association, Rev. Fr. Dr. Polycarp Lubo.
Fr. Lubo died in the early hours of Sunday after a brief illness resulting from injuries he sustained in a recent accident.
A statement issued by the Northern CAN Chairman, Rev Joseph John Hayab, said the late Catholic priest was a courageous and devoted servant of God who lived for truth, justice, peace, and the protection of the vulnerable.
Hayab stated, “His declaration during the Plateau Peace Walk that ‘we deserve to live’ captured the collective cry of victims of violence, displacement, and injustice in Plateau and across Nigeria.”
He explained that the late priest also played a key role in interfaith collaboration, working with other faith leaders under the Sultan Foundation for Peace and Development to promote immunization and support the eradication of polio in Nigeria.
Hayab noted, “Fr. Lubo brought financial accountability and administrative strength to the association in his role as treasurer, his passing has created a significant void within the Northern Christian community.”
The Northern CAN extended its heartfelt condolences to the Catholic Archdiocese of Jos, the Plateau State CAN leadership, his parishioners, and the broader Christian family.
It urged security agencies and government institutions to honour Fr. Lubo’s legacy by intensifying efforts to safeguard lives and promote justice across Plateau State and beyond.
Until his death, Fr. Lubo served as the Parish Priest of St. William’s Catholic Church, Zawan, where he was widely known for his humility, jovial spirit, and cross-community engagement.

I Threw My Expensive Gold Jewelry into the Lagoon the Moment I Became a Born-Again Christian— Pastor Adeboye’s Wife, Foluke
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
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.
