The Senior Pastor of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has said the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, never protested under the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Suleman clarified that Adeboye and other preachers were directed by the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, to embark on a prayer walk due to the hardship and insecurity issues during Jonathan’s administration.

He made the remark while berating those criticizing Adeboye for not protesting under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

Suleman spoke in a video posted on X while addressing his members in Auchi, Edo State.

“There are some people attacking Daddy G.O. Pastor Adeboye, claiming that he protested under former President Jonathan but is not protesting under Tinubu.

“He did not protest then; it was the PFN that directed pastors and preachers to embark on a prayer walk. Do you expect a man of 84 years to come out and protest? I am a son of Adeboye, and if he is not speaking out, I am speaking out too.”

The founder of Mount Zion Faith Ministries, Evangelist Mike Bamiloye, has claimed that the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, cannot lead a protest against the government due to his age.

Bamiloye’s comments comes after Adeboye shared a clip on Tuesday, in which he urged the President Bola Tinubu administration to issue a 90-day ultimatum to service chiefs to eliminate terrorists or resign from office.

It comes amid allegations that Adeboye had called off a planned protest against insecurity.

Bamiloye, writing on his Instagram page, hit out at critics and bloggers for misrepresenting the cleric’s stance.

“This is what he said, many bloggers saw this, but they would project it. But he spoke against the evils,” Bamiloye wrote.

“And for all those who are expecting an 84-year-old man, servant of God, to lead a protest against a government, this does not make sense by virtue of his age and by the mandate of his calling.”

Why Pastor Adeboye will not protest against Tinubu – Mike Bamiloye

Former Secretary General of the Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, Anthony Sani, on Wednesday said the North would vote for President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

Speaking with DAILY POST, Sani said the North would back Tinubu’s second term bid to boost its chances of returning to power in 2031.

He said: “President Bola Tinubu will get the majority votes in the North because the North is hoping to produce the President in 2031 after it has been in the South for eight years.”

The former ACF scribe also said the South-East would vote for the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, due to what he described as the politics of zoning.

He said: “Politics of identity called zoning would not allow Igbos to vote against Peter Obi in 2027.This is because this time the President is in the South and is expected to be in the North by 2031.”

Sani further noted that the North would not back Obi’s presidential ambition because the region does not trust him to do just one term.

He added: “As to Peter Obi, the North cannot trust Peter Obi’s pledge to do only one tenure. What is more, the North believes a President Peter Obi will play Gorbachev who presides over the collapse of Soviet Union, since he has not condemned IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu.”

The Kano State Government’s Special Task Force Committee on Illegal Structures has sealed an alleged illegal plaza construction site at Unguwar Wambai in Gwale Local Government Area, alongside 37 other structures across the state.

The exercise carried out on Tuesday, was led by officials of the Kano Geographic Information System (KANGIS), who said the action was taken to prevent further safety risks and violations of building regulations.

Speaking during the operation, the Chairman of the committee and Director General of KANGIS, Dr. Dalhatu Aliyu Sani, said the sealed site is located in a high-risk and high-tension area that poses danger to residents.

“There cannot be building very close to high tension place. That is why we stopped, sealed, and secured the place immediately,” he said.

He described the construction as illegal, stressing that safety concerns made the government step in immediately.

“This is illegal. How can someone build in a risk zone? This is a danger area, and the government does not want people to play with the lives of Kano residents.

“There should be a restricted zone. At least 50 feet should be left on both sides. If you build here, it will affect people’s lives and even the building itself,” he said.

He warned the owners of the property to stop the construction immediately.

According to him, the government would take legal action if the directive is ignored.

“We are calling on the owner of this structure to stop immediately. It is for their own benefit. If they refuse to comply, the government will take drastic legal action. This will serve as a deterrent to others,” he said.

He also urged residents and developers in Kano to follow planning laws and regulations, noting that compliance would help make the state safer and better organised.

“We want the people of Kano to do the right thing and abide by the laws so that Kano will be a good model,” he added.

The task force also sealed 37 other structures across the Eastern and Western Bypass corridors, including truck parks, ongoing construction sites, and fuel station projects.

The affected sites include Baffa Manager uncompleted building at Eastern Bypass, a two-storey plaza along the bypass, 300-metre row of shops with fencing, Triplex Plaza at Ladanai Layout, and multiple garages and fenced lands among others.

The United States government has proposed additional tariffs of up to 12.5 per cent on imports from 60 economies, accusing them of failing to ban goods made with forced labour and creating what it described as an uneven playing field for American workers.

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) announced the proposed duties on Tuesday, following months of investigations into trading partners under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974.

The tariffs still need to go through a public comment period before taking effect, with written submissions accepted until July 6, after which the USTR will hold hearings before making a final determination.

Of the 60 economies targeted, 54 were found to have “failed to impose and effectively enforce” bans on imports of goods produced with forced labour and would face an additional tariff of 12.5 per cent.

The remaining six economies, which were found to have failed to sufficiently engage with the U.S. on the issue, would face a 10 per cent tariff.

The announcement includes some of Washington’s largest and most important trading partners, including China, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Japan, India, Norway, Switzerland, Israel, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

Goods from Canada and Mexico that comply with the North American free trade pact will be exempt, as will certain categories including beef, coffee and specific fruits and nuts.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said the action was necessary to protect American workers.

“The failure of our most important trading partners to address the importation of goods made with forced labour is unacceptable,” he said. “This creates a dynamic where American workers are forced to compete globally on an uneven playing field.”

The move comes ahead of the July 24 expiry of a temporary 10 per cent tariff the Trump administration imposed on February 20, the day the Supreme Court struck down Trump’s sweeping global tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

The forced labour action represents Washington’s attempt to rebuild its broader tariff agenda through an alternative legal route that does not require congressional approval.
The proposal drew immediate criticism from trading partners.

The European Commission said it was reviewing the announcement and reserved the right to take countermeasures.

Several Asian governments also expressed concern, with South Korea’s trade ministry saying it would consult closely with the private sector on potential impacts.
