The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Umar Ganduje, says President Tinubu is doing a great job and working to make sure the current economic hardship facing the people comes to an end.
He said this when he spoke in Akure at the inauguration of the 305-member National Campaign Council for the November 16 governorship election in Ondo state. According to him, President Tinubu has introduced life-changing reforms that make the nation’s economy stronger.
“President Bola Tinubu is doing a good job for this country. He has introduced reforms in order to make our institution strong for the social and economic development of this country. We respect and honour him,” the APC national chairman said.
Music mogul, Diddy has been hit with another lawsuit while in federal jail in Brooklyn awaiting trial on racketeering and sex trafficking charges.
The new plaintiff says he was a 10-year-old aspiring rapper when Combs allegedly drugged and r@ped him in a New York City hotel in 2005 during a purported audition.
The new complaint was filed by prominent Houston lawyer Tony Buzbee and his California counterpart, Andrew Van Arsdale, as the latest in a barrage of lawsuits from anonymous plaintiffs claiming they were sexually assaulted by Combs. Many of the plaintiffs have alleged they were drugged, forced into s3x acts without consent, and threatened into silence.
In the new lawsuit filed in New York state court in Manhattan, the John Doe says his parents accompanied him to Manhattan to meet with music industry executives, including Combs, to advance his career. He says a consultant hired by his parents delivered him to a hotel room and then left him with Combs. According to the lawsuit, the plaintiff was given a soda that he believes was laced with drugs.
“After the plaintiff consumed his soda and began feeling its effects, Combs told plaintiff to move closer to him, which plaintiff did. Combs then abruptly pushed plaintiff down and said words to the effect of, ‘You have to do some stuff you don’t want to do sometimes,’” the lawsuit reads.
“Once plaintiff had pushed plaintiff down, Combs pulled his penis out of his pants and told the ten-year-old plaintiff to ‘kiss it.’ When plaintiff resisted, Combs nevertheless forced his penis into plaintiff’s mouth and proceeded to repeatedly push it in and out.”
The plaintiff alleges he “froze in terror,” lost consciousness and later woke up with his pants undone and pain in his anus and buttocks.
The new plaintiff alleges that his parents later noticed something was wrong. He says he told them what allegedly happened and that they “were terrified of the potential consequences of reporting the abuse.”
He alleged he suffers from severe depression and anxiety and had to be homeschooled after the alleged incident.
“The lawyer behind this lawsuit is interested in media attention rather than the truth, as is obvious from his constant press appearances and 1-800 number,” Combs’ media team wrote in an email to Rolling Stone on Monday.
“As we’ve said before, Mr. Combs cannot respond to every new publicity stunt, even in response to claims that are facially ridiculous or demonstrably false. Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor.”
Buzbee previously filed 13 lawsuits against Combs in two waves on Oct. 14 and Oct. 20, but Combs’ current legal woes date back to last November, when his ex-girlfriend, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, filed her bombshell rape and sex-trafficking lawsuit against him. Combs settled with Ventura within 24 hours.
In her disturbing complaint, Ventura accused Combs of repeated physical violence and forcing her to participate in highly choreographed, drug-fueled sexual encounters called “freak offs.”

Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers attacked a Catholic seminary in Etsako East Local Government Area of Edo State and abducted a priest, Rev. Fr. Thomas Oyode.
The gunmen invaded the Immaculate Conception Minor Seminary, Ivhianokpodi, during prayers on Sunday evening, October 27, 2024 and abducted Oyode, who is the rector.
The Catholic diocese of Auchi confirmed the incident in a statement on Monday, saying it has lodged an official report, seeking the assistance of law enforcement agencies in securing the release of the priest.
The statement issued by the Director of Communications of the diocese, Reverend Father Peter Egielewa disclosed that priests and seminarians of the Immaculate Conception Minor Seminary, Ivhianokpodi, were observing their evening prayers and benediction on Sunday evening when they were attacked by gunmen around 7 PM.
The attackers reportedly abducted Oyode and led him into the bush.
According to the diocese, the vice-rector and all the seminarians have been accounted for and have been relocated for safety purposes.
The diocese said it has, however, not had any communication with the abductors of Father Oyode.
The diocese also disclosed that the Immaculate Conception Minor Seminary established by the catholic bishop of Auchi, most reverend Gabriel Dunia in 2006 for the training of future priests, has turned out more than 500 graduates over the years.

There is little evidence that penis stretching or “jelqing” works to lengthen the penis. This also applies to penis lengthening devices, such as vacuum pumps.
The average size of an erect penis is 5.1inchesTrusted Source. Many penises are around this length.
Despite this, many males assume the average penis size is over 6 inches when erect. This is, in part, due to research that relied on self-reported measurements, which may be inaccurate.
People who still wish to try penis stretching may be able to do so in a safe way, as it is not invasive. However, significant distress about penis size can affect mental health. People who feel worried can consider speaking with a doctor about their concerns.
This article discusses nonsurgical methods of penis stretching, why do them, and what available research says about their effectiveness.
Penis stretching is a practice that aims to increase the size or length of the penis. This could include:
stretching exercises, or “jelqing”
vacuum pumps
penoscrotal rings
penile extenders
While some claim these approaches work to increase penis size for aesthetic or sexual reasons, there is no high-quality evidence to suggest they are effective. A 2020 review found that the evidence on vacuum pumps and extenders approaches was limited and low quality.
Methods that do work for increasing penis size, such as surgery, come with risks. Some procedures can lead to erectile dysfunction, which is why doctors only use them for specific medical conditions.
One exception to this is stretching for a specific condition known as peyronie's disease, which causes curved and painful erections. A 2019 review found penile stretching was an effective therapy for this condition.
Several penis stretching devices are available to purchase. According to the Urology Care Foundation, almost none of them work.
However, stretching has proven to be somewhat effective in treating Peyronie’s disease.
The devices include:
Vacuum pumps
A vacuum pump comprises a tube that fits over the penis. The user pumps air out of the tube, which causes blood to flow to the penis. Increased blood flow leads to swelling and an erection. People typically use vacuum pumps to treat erectile dysfunction.
Some people state that regular use of a vacuum pump will increase penis size, but research does not support this claim.
An older 2006 studyTrusted Source reports that participants did not experience significant physical effects after 6 months of use. However, some users did gain psychological satisfaction from using the pump.
Penoscrotal rings
Penoscrotal rings fit around the base of the penis. They work by restricting blood flow to the penis to cause a stronger erection or to prolong an erection. People use them during sexual activity, but some people use them for longer than is recommended.
There is no evidence this works to lengthen the penis long-term. Additionally, these rings can have risks in rare cases. If the ring gets stuck, a person can develop penile strangulation or entrapment of the scrotrum, which is a medical emergency.
Penile extenders
Penile traction devices, or penis extenders, stretch the tissues in the penis. Some research does indicate that these particular devices may increase penile length by a small amount.
According to a 2020 systematic review of studies examining various penis lengthening methods, extenders were able to increase flaccid penis length by less than 2 centimeters (0.7 inches).
Individuals interested in trying a penile extender should note that the research on extenders is limited and has involved low numbers of participants.
Other criticisms includeTrusted Source selection bias, which means that the randomization of the study participants may not be sufficient, and researchers may select them to achieve a particular result.
More research is necessary to accurately determine these devices’ safety and effectiveness.
Anyone who wants to try penis stretching exercises or devices should speak with a doctor first. Feeling consistently worried about the shape or size of the penis can be something doctors can help with.
If there is a physical problem, they may be able to offer advice. For example, if they have Peyronie’s disease, a doctor can provide a diagnosis and help put together a treatment plan.
If a person has signs of emotional distress, a doctor may be able to provide reassurance, and in some cases, may suggest mental health support.
In some cases, treatments such as psychotherapy might be more effective in helping people feel more comfortable about their bodies.
Any person who tries any penis stretching method and experiences severe or persistent side effects should also speak with a doctor.
There are many techniques and devices available that people claim to increase penis size. In most cases, there is little evidence that these exercises or products are effective.
However, with correct use, most methods of penis stretching are low risk. Some exercises may help people feel more comfortable psychologically with the appearance of their penis.
A person concerned about their penis size or shape should speak with a doctor. They will be able to provide accurate information on what is typical.
This appointment comes after the president the scraped the Ministry of Sports Development and had its functions transferred to the National Sports Commission in order to develop a vibrant sports economy.
Shehu Dikko has been appointed as the Chairman of the National Sports Commission.
His appointment was announced by President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday.
This appointment comes after the president the scraped the Ministry of Sports Development and had its functions transferred to the National Sports Commission in order to develop a vibrant sports economy.
The Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Enoh, was redeployed as the Minister of State for Trade and Investment.
Dikko, the Kaduna State-born football administrator, was the Chairman of the League Management Company responsible for the management of the Nigerian Professional Football League.
He previously served as a consultant for the Nigerian House of Representatives on Sports committee.
Dikko contested for the President of the Nigeria Football Federation in 2022, but later stepped down for Ibrahim Gusau who emerged victorious.
Also scrapped was the Ministry of Niger Delta which was replaced with Ministry of Regional Development to oversee the activities of all the Regional Development Commissions.
Tinubu also merged the Federal Ministry of Tourism and the Federal
Ministry of Arts and Culture to become Federal Ministry of Art, Culture, Tourism and the Creative Economy.
The Socio-Economic Rights Accountability Project, SERAP, issued the warning in a post on its official X handle, #SerapNigeria, on Wednesday.
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, has been advised to withdraw his threat to arrest beggars in the nation’s capital or face legal action.
The Socio-Economic Rights Accountability Project, SERAP, issued the warning in a post on its official X handle, #SerapNigeria, on Wednesday.
The civil society organization noted that the minister should instead provide opportunities to help the beggars rebuild their lives and reintegrate into society, stressing that no one should be criminalised for their socio-economic status.
Wike had during the flag-off ceremony for construction of a road in the Katampe District of Abuja on Tuesday, threatened a crackdown on beggars, announcing that enforcement agents would start apprehending them from Monday next week.
Wike said, “Let me state clearly that we have declared war; Abuja is turning into a beggar city.
“If you know you have a sister or brother who is a beggar, please, from next week, we will take them away. It is embarrassing that people will come in and the first thing they will see are just beggars on the road.”
The minister lamented that some of the individuals may be criminals pretending to be beggars.
He said he is giving them a ‘public holiday’ till Sunday, and from Monday, he will remove them.
SERAP in its post, appealed to the minister to immediately address the socio-economic rights of marginalised individuals in the FCT.
“The Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, must immediately withdraw his apparently unlawful threat to arrest beggars in Abuja or face legal action,” SERAP said, stressing that no one should be criminalised for engaging in life-sustaining economic activities or because of their economic or social status.
Rather than arresting and cracking down on beggars, SERAP observed that the minister should provide them with the opportunity to rebuild their lives and fully integrate into society while respecting their dignity and human rights.
The group noted that Wike should immediately begin to address the root causes of poverty and the violations of the economic and social rights of particularly marginalised individuals in Abuja, suggesting that the minister must address the plight of those experiencing homelessness and those living in poverty, and not demonise and criminalise them.
