Mohammed said he stood by his admonition of Obi and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, insisting that his advice was never premised on falsehood. “What will be my…

As Christians celebrate Easter, the Anglican Bishop of Ibadan Diocese, Most Rev. Joseph Akinfenwa, has called on them to eschew all forms of extravagance and spend within their means. Akinfenwa gave the advice in his Easter message in Ibadan, warning that “there is a high level of poverty in Nigeria, and so profligacy or waste at a time such as this is not only irresponsible but cruel.” “Let us all celebrate with modesty, and avoid going into debt. Instead, our surpluses should be channeled into providing succour to the needy. “Most importantly, let us all seize the occasion of this…
