Edo APC Stood by 2023 LGA Candidates Amid Bias Claims
Edo (Benin City) The Edo State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Jarret Tenebe, has revealed that the party allowed its local government area (LGA) candidates to participate in the 2023 LGA election despite what he described as clear attempts by the then-ruling government to compromise the process. He emphasized that the decision was deliberate, aiming to build groundwork ahead of the 2024 governorship election.
Speaking at the party secretariat on August 26, 2025, Tenebe commended the candidates for their “determination, confidence, and belief in the party,” especially given the APC’s position as opposition at the time. He credited their participation with mobilizing support for Senator Monday Okpebholo, who later won the 2024 governorship race.
Tenebe stated:
“Consultations began with party leaders and we all later agreed that the party should contest that election, which was keenly contested… You campaigned vigorously for Senator Monday Okpebholo to win the governorship election in the state.”
On behalf of the former candidates, Enahoro Aikpokpo expressed that they contested under difficult conditions to keep the party alive amid intimidation and setbacks. They appealed to the party to prioritize them in upcoming LGA elections, requesting the “right of first refusal.”

Oba Oloyede Pleads Guilty in $4.2M COVID-19 Relief Fraud Case
Oba Joseph Oloyede, known as the Apetu of Ipetumodu, formally pleaded guilty in a U.S. federal court on April 21, 2025, admitting involvement in a $4.2 million fraud involving COVID-19 relief funds under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) schemes. He acknowledged the pandemic’s unprecedented strain—particularly his health fears—but clarified that “COVID-19 is not an excuse, but it is a factor.” Peoples Gazette NigeriaWikipedia
Assets Seized as Part of U.S. Legal Action
U.S. authorities have already seized assets related to the case, including a property in Medina County, Ohio, and over $96,000 from business accounts linked to Oloyede. After his arrest in May 2024, he was granted bail and released in February 2025 when he surrendered his passports and met court conditions. Peoples Gazette NigeriaTechpressionWikipedia
Community Reacts to King’s Absence
The prolonged absence of the monarch since early 2024 left his community in Ipetumodu unsettled, particularly after he missed several key cultural festivals. His removal from traditional duties sparked conversations about leadership gaps and pending succession issues back home.

Trump Ukraine Peace Talks: Spiritual Admission and Bold Diplomacy
In a Fox & Friends interview on August 19, 2025, President Trump shocked viewers by saying he hopes his push for peace in Ukraine will help him “get to heaven.” This spiritual admission instantly went viral, adding a personal and emotional twist to global politics.
Trump Pushes Ukraine-Russia Peace Talks
Trump is working to bring Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russia’s President Vladimir Putin to the table for direct peace talks. Reports suggest Geneva could host the negotiations, with Trump presenting himself as the key mediator.
Trump’s Peace Plan: Security Without NATO
One of Trump’s biggest proposals is giving Ukraine security guarantees similar to NATO but without full NATO membership. This aims to protect Ukraine while lowering tensions with Russia. However, questions remain about territorial concessions and Ukraine’s sovereignty.
Critics Challenge Trump’s Ukraine Peace Strategy
Critics argue Trump’s approach risks weakening Ukraine’s position. Some European leaders worry his plan rewards aggression, while others welcome any path to peace. Trump also faced backlash for sending mixed signals about U.S. military involvement, first suggesting troops, then ruling it out.
