The Asiwaju Transformation Ambassadors (ATA) has endorsed Dr Michael Achadu for the position of Minister from Benue State.

The Asiwaju group said Dr Achadu has enjoyed a distinguished career and have excelled in the cooperate world for decades.

The statement added thay since delving into politics, Achadu has demonstrated an unusual penchant for excellence, capacity and competence.

It noted that the Okpokwu native is a detrabilised Nigerian, unifier and nation-builder who so much believes in the philosophy of President Tinubu.

The group recalled that Achadu played a crucial role in the victory of the ruling party at all levels in Benue State.

Describing the brand strategist as a philanthropist, it further said he is out to make a difference in governance and should be given the opportunity to serve.

"Chief Dr. Michael Achadu is man who is bucking the trend in politics and governance. Not your usual politician, Achadu is a seasoned professional with global economic expertise," the group said.

"A philanthropist, he is also a consummate business mogul and an epitome of hope to the young generation owing to his penchant for hard work, capacity and integrity.

"Achadu's impact has been felt all over the nation with over 3,500 youths workforce spread across all 774 local governments.
In recognition of his contribution to human capacity development, philanthropy and entrepreneurship, he was awarded an honorary doctorate degree from the prestigious International University of Entrepreneurship, Delaware, USA.

"His foray into partisan politics was driven by the need to offer an alternative to the general narrative. He was instrumental to the delivery of Benue state and especially Okpokwu LGA to our great party, the APC in the last general elections.

"Chief Achadu embodies determination, doggedness, perseverance and courage. He understands the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a new Nigeria, where development is driven by intellectuals and their time-tested track record of entrepreneurship break-through.

"We, therefore, believe he is the most suited member of our party from Benue State for the position of Minister in the cabinet of Mr President".

Court Sets Aside Arrest, Remand, Wanted Declaration Against Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi

A Magistrate Court sitting in Ogba, Ikeja, Lagos, has set aside its earlier ex-parte order authorizing the arrest, remand, and “wanted” declaration of Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi, also known as Hammed Ajiran. The development follows the earlier declaration of Akanbi as wanted for alleged multiple murder by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Moshood Olorundare Jimoh, on February 19, 2026. However, in a ruling delivered today, Magistrate L.A. Owolabi of Magistrate Court 3 nullified the ex-parte order initially granted on February 16, 2026. In his decision, Magistrate Owolabi held that the order was obtained through the concealment of material facts. The court specifically noted that the counsel who filed and argued the application, Nosa Watson Uhumwangho, was under suspension by the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee at the time and therefore lacked the right of audience before the court. The ruling sparked jubilation among members of the youth wing of the Ojomu royal family, who...

The Court further stated that an order for arrest would only be considered if he fails to honour such an invitation. The Court noted that it was mindful of previous proceedings in Charge No: MCIK/60A/2026, where a similar application had earlier been set aside by another Magistrate on March 23, 2026, on the grounds of illegality. Consequently, the Court declined to entertain what it described as a repetition of a defective process. ...
