Ekiti Politics: Egbeyemi Left A Vacuum Too Large To Fill – Bamidele

The Chairman, Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, Sen. Michael Opeyemi Bamidele has commiserated with the family of Chief Bisi Egbeyemi over the death of the elderstatesman on Friday, 17th March, 2023 at a ripe age of 79.
In a statement issued by his Media Office on Sunday, the Senator representing Ekiti Central Senatorial District, described the demise of Chief Egbeyemi as a collosal loss to the Government and the people of Ekiti State, adding that the former Deputy Governor left a vacuum that is not easy to fill in the politics of Ekiti State.
The federal lawmaker and Chairman, Southern Senators’ Forum pointed out that the deceased was a great asset to the State in many respects.
According to Bamidele, “Chief Bisi Egbeyemi was a great asset to Ekiti State in many ramifications. He was a skillful party stabilizer, a bridge builder, a consummate grassroots politician, accomplished administrator, legal luminary and highly revered community leader. The people and Government of Ekiti State will surely miss his uncommon wisdom, superb native intelligence, commitment, sincerity and dependability”
Bamidele stressed that the deceased played prominent roles in the political development of the Ekiti people right from the second republic when he was a member of the House of Assembly in the old Ondo State. He was a former Chairman of Ado Local Government, former Attorney General and Honourable Commissioner for Justice in Ekiti State, former Deputy State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Elders’ Forum and former Deputy Governor in the Fayemi administration between 2018 and 2022.
The federal lawmaker maintained that Egbeyemi’s remarkable political exposure from the UPN days, his wealth of experience and his conflict management skills had helped tremendously in keeping the party afloat and unblemished inspite of its internal challenges and occasional rancour, adding that the people and Government of Ekiti State will surely miss his exemplary leadership attributes and informed guidance now that he has passed on.
While commiserating with the family of the deceased, Sen. Bamidele beseeched the Almighty God to give the deceased’s wife, children and relatives the fortitude to bear the sudden and huge loss.
Bamidele also commiserated with His Excellency, the Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji and the entire All Progressives Congress (APC) family in Ekiti State, to take solace in the fact that Chief Egbeyemi lived a very impactful and celebrated life while on earth, saying that he has contributed his own quota to the growth and development of his fatherland as an illustrious son of Ekiti State before heeding the call of his Maker.

1,000 Prayer Warriors Storm Ilorin for Tinubu, Nation’s Deliverance

In a dramatic show of faith and patriotism, over 1,000 fiery prayer warriors from across Nigeria will descend on Ilorin, Kwara State, this Saturday, lifting their voices in intense intercession for President Bola Tinubu’s success and Nigeria’s survival in the face of biting economic woes and mounting insecurity.
The spiritual siege, themed “Walking in Domini”, is the maiden convention of the Organisation of African Instituted Churches (OAIC), with its Kwara State Chairman, Evangelist Thomas Adeboye, vowing that “heaven will hear and respond to Nigeria’s cry.”
Aside from marathon prayers, the gathering will roll out free medical outreach to locals across Kwara’s LGAs, a gesture aimed at touching both body and soul.
Adeboye, lamenting Nigeria’s “troubling economic and security realities”, called for a nationwide prayer uprising, insisting that Tinubu has shown the will to revive the nation but needs massive divine backing to succeed.
“Banditry, a collapsing economy, and political tension demand we seek God’s face like never before,” he declared. “We will storm heaven for wisdom for the President and governors to steer Nigeria to safety.”
The convention will also feature awards to distinguished personalities, soul-lifting worship, fiery sermons, and unity-driven lectures—all capped with thunderous prayers for Nigeria’s redemption.
Adeboye urged the President to ensure every policy has “a human face,” stressing that Nigerians must not only endure but also enjoy the fruits of governance.
With the OAIC promising to reaffirm believers’ authority in Christ and rally spiritual boldness in the face of national challenges, Ilorin is set to become the epicentre of a powerful spiritual warfare for Nigeria’s destiny.

Nigerian Anglicans Condemn Lesbian Archbishop of Wales, Deepening Global Anglican Rift

…Church leaders accuse Welsh counterparts of “spiritual decadence” and “abandonment of faith”
The Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) has issued a forceful condemnation of the election of Rt. Rev. Cherry Vann, an openly lesbian cleric, as the Archbishop of Wales. The move is the latest in a series of developments that have deepened divisions within the global Anglican Communion over sexuality and doctrine.
In a statement from Primate The Most Rev’d Henry Ndukuba, the church denounced the election as a “serious departure from biblical teaching” and a sign of “spiritual decadence” and “an outright abandonment of the faith once delivered to the saints.”
Archbishop Ndukuba warned that Bishop Vann’s elevation compromises the Anglican Church’s global mission and could obstruct evangelism. He compared the situation to the controversial tenure of Most Rev. Katherine Jefferts Schori, former Presiding Bishop of the U.S. Episcopal Church, who also faced intense criticism from conservative Anglicans for her progressive views.
The Primate accused Bishop Vann of being complicit in the “ongoing crisis” around same-sex issues, stating that the election is a “clear revelation that many who claim to be members of the body of Christ cannot endure sound doctrine” (2 Timothy 4:3–4).
The Church of Nigeria called on Anglicans worldwide to reject “rebels” and “apostates” and to instead support conservative bodies like the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON).
“The Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) condemns, unequivocally rejects, and will not recognize the election of Rt. Rev. Cherry Vann as Archbishop of Wales,” Ndukuba declared. He concluded with a solemn warning that without repentance, the Church in Wales risks losing “complete relevance” and its leaders will face judgment.
