JUST IN: Liverpool Seal £116m Deal for Florian Wirtz
Liverpool FC have reached a sensational agreement to sign Germany international and attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen in a deal worth £116 million. The transfer package comprises a guaranteed £100 million, with an additional £16 million in performance-related add-ons. These bonuses will be activated based on Liverpool achieving sustained success at the highest level – a clause that, if fulfilled, would make the deal a British record in terms of total fee. A Record-Breaking Transfer in SightThe current record for the largest initial transfer fee in British football is Chelsea’s £107 million signing of Enzo Fernandez from Benfica in 2023. Chelsea also signed Moises Caicedo from Brighton for an initial £100 million, with add-ons potentially raising the total to £115 million. If Wirtz’s full transfer value is met, he would eclipse both deals, underlining Liverpool’s serious intent under manager Arne Slot to bolster their squad with top-tier young talent. Wirtz: A Rising StarThe 21-year-old Wirtz has been pivotal to Leverkusen’s resurgence in the Bundesliga, showcasing creative flair, vision, and technical brilliance, earning comparisons with some of Germany’s finest midfielders. His signing is seen as a major coup for Liverpool as they continue their post-Klopp era rebuild. More updates to follow as Liverpool prepares to unveil their marquee signing of the summer.

2026: Osun Youths, Kinsmen Endorse Dotun Babayemi for APC Guber Ticket
Over 2,000 youths from Ayedaade Local Government Area of Osun State have formally endorsed Omooba Dotun Babayemi as their preferred aspirant for the 2026 All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial ticket. The endorsement took place in Gbongan, Babayemi’s hometown, where enthusiastic supporters gathered in large numbers to welcome him as he commenced a statewide consultative tour following the official declaration of his intention at the APC state secretariat. Youths Declare Babayemi the Right Choice for OsunSpeaking on behalf of the youths, Mr. Adekunle Rafiu described Babayemi as a visionary leader with a proven track record of community development and youth empowerment. “His impact across Ayedaade and the wider Osun State is immeasurable, especially given that he has made these contributions from his personal resources and without holding public office,” Rafiu said. He emphasised that Babayemi’s emergence as governor would lead to a transformational shift in the state’s development trajectory. “Omooba Babayemi has consistently exemplified leadership, foresight, and a sincere commitment to the progress of our communities. His policies are geared towards sustainable development, youth empowerment, and inclusive growth.” Call on APC to Support Babayemi’s CandidatureThe youths unanimously urged APC stakeholders and leadership to support Babayemi’s gubernatorial ambition, asserting that his candidacy presents the party’s best chance of victory in the 2026 elections. “We, the youths of Ayedaade Local Government, firmly endorse Omooba Dotun Babayemi and appeal to the party leadership to entrust him with the APC flag for the 2026 governorship race in Osun,” Rafiu added. This endorsement adds momentum to Babayemi’s growing support base as he intensifies consultations with party leaders, community stakeholders, and grassroots mobilisers across Osun State.

Osun APC Women Group Pledges One Million Votes for Tinubu, NIWA MD
A women’s political support group in Osun State, under the banner of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Iron Ladies, has formally endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term in the 2027 presidential election. The group also pledged to deliver one million votes to the Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji, should he secure the APC governorship ticket for Osun State’s 2026 election. Speaking during a mobilisation event held at the Tinubu/Shettima Campaign Office in Osogbo, the group’s State Coordinator, Deaconess Adesola Ayangbile, stated: “We have begun grassroots, door-to-door mobilisation for the APC ahead of the 2026 and 2027 elections, targeting one million votes across Osun State to actualise our collective aspirations.” Backing Oyebamiji’s CandidacyAyangbile noted that the group’s support for Oyebamiji is rooted in their personal and collective conviction about his competence and achievements in both the private and public sectors. She commended his longstanding contributions to the development of Osun State, having served in various strategic capacities. “Our endorsement of Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji reflects our belief in his leadership capacity and track record of service. He has demonstrated excellence, commitment, and integrity in all roles he has undertaken,” she added. Reaffirming Support for Tinubu’s AdministrationThe group reaffirmed its “unalloyed support” for President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, praising his leadership and governance over the past two years. Ayangbile further urged APC women across the state to remain steadfast, focused, and vocal in promoting the party’s ideals and ensuring electoral victory for its candidates. Women as the Engine Room of Osun PoliticsAlso speaking at the event, former Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Timothy Owoeye, hailed the APC women’s wing as the “political pillar, lifeline, and engine room” of politics in the state. He applauded their commitment and emphasized the pivotal role women play in political mobilisation, election victories, and party stability across Osun and beyond.

Nigeria Would Be in Better Shape If My Father Had Been President – Jamiu Abiola
Jamiu Abiola, son of the late Chief MKO Abiola, has stated that Nigeria’s economic situation would have significantly improved had his father been allowed to take office following the annulled 1993 presidential election.He made this remark on Thursday during Channels Television’s June 12 Special Forum, commemorating 26 years of uninterrupted democratic governance in Nigeria.“Nigeria would have fared much better,” he said. “That period in 1993 was marked by global economic growth, and we could have taken advantage of that momentum. Instead, we ended up with a kleptocratic regime. I won’t delve into Sani Abacha’s tenure — his record speaks for itself.”Jamiu, currently serving as Senior Special Adviser on Linguistics and Foreign Affairs to President Bola Tinubu, also expressed concern over ongoing efforts to diminish his father's legacy decades after the historic election was nullified and years after MKO's passing.“In 2015, I authored The President Who Never Ruled because I noticed my father’s memory was fading from public discourse, and there was an active attempt to rewrite Nigerian history without acknowledging him,” he said.“Foreign leaders would visit Nigeria and recognize figures like Yar’Adua, but omit Chief MKO Abiola. It felt like an intentional erasure — like trying to shave a man’s head in his absence,” he added.In a symbolic gesture in 2018, former President Muhammadu Buhari posthumously conferred the title of Grand Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic (GCFR) on MKO Abiola and declared June 12 as Democracy Day — a decision widely seen as long overdue.

Fake Scholarships, Real Slavery: Nigerian Woman Arrested for Trafficking Students in Australia
A Nigerian-Australian woman, Binta Abubakar, has been arrested by Australian Federal Police for allegedly trafficking 15 Papua New Guinean students and forcing them into unpaid farm labour across Queensland under false pretences of educational scholarships.The 56-year-old was arrested at Brisbane Airport following a two-year investigation. Authorities said Abubakar, through her company, BIN Educational Services and Consulting, lured students aged 19 to 35 to Australia between March 2021 and July 2023 with fake scholarship offers.Once in Australia, the students were allegedly coerced into signing documents binding them to repay supposed costs for tuition and travel. To repay the debt, they were forced to work long hours on fruit farms while their wages were withheld.Police stated that when students resisted, Abubakar allegedly threatened to report them to immigration or intimidate their families in PNG. She has been charged with 31 offences, including human trafficking, deceptive recruitment, and debt bondage.Granted conditional bail, Abubakar is due back in court on September 19.Detective Superintendent Adrian Telfer condemned the exploitation and encouraged victims of trafficking to seek help, noting that traffickers often exploit dreams of education and better opportunities to trap victims in abusive conditions.

Oil Producers Support Plan to Boost Nigeria’s Daily Crude Output by 1 Million Barrels
The Independent Petroleum Producers Group (IPPG) has pledged its support for the "Project One Million Barrels Incremental" initiative launched by the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) to boost Nigeria’s daily crude oil production. During a strategic visit to NUPRC’s Abuja headquarters, the IPPG delegation commended the Commission’s ongoing regulatory reforms and its role in facilitating recent asset divestments by international oil companies (IOCs). The visit also served to reinforce collaboration between the regulatory body and indigenous oil producers. According to the NUPRC’s “Crude Oil and Condensate Production Report – May 2025”, Nigeria achieved 97% of its 1.5 million barrels per day (mbopd) OPEC production quota in May. Crude oil output: 1.45 mbopdCondensate output: 204,493 barrels per day (bopd)Total daily output (crude + condensate): 1.81 mbopdDaily average production: 1.65 mbopd This marked an improvement over April’s 1.68 mbopd output, though slightly below the previous month’s 99% quota attainment. Indigenous Operators Take the LeadIPPG Chairman, Abdulrazaq Isa—also the Chairman of Waltersmith Group—noted that the supervised divestments by IOCs have enabled a significant transfer of upstream assets to indigenous operators. He described this transition as a "pivotal shift in Nigeria’s energy landscape", opening new opportunities for local companies to scale operations and deepen participation in both oil and gas development. Reforms Driving Confidence and GrowthReceiving the delegation, NUPRC Chief Executive, Engr. Gbenga Komolafe, highlighted the Commission’s progress under the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), including:Automation of licensing and permit processes Introduction of the “Drill or Drop” policy: operators must develop allocated assets or forfeit licensesIncreased rig activity—from 11 rigs before the PIA to 42 rigs currently, a strong signal of revived investor confidenceKomolafe stressed the Commission’s continued focus on transparency, accountability, and anti-corruption, calling for open dialogue and stakeholder feedback to ensure regulatory policies remain responsive to the sector’s evolving needs. Upstream Outlook: Positive MomentumThe IPPG acknowledged the impact of recent reforms, noting increased local and international confidence in Nigeria’s upstream oil sector. As the country eyes an incremental production increase of 1 million barrels per day, the collaboration between regulators and local producers is expected to play a vital role in achieving this national target.

Kudirat, Ige, Saro-Wiwa, Rewane, 134 Others Receive National Honours
President Bola Tinubu has honoured 135 individuals for their roles in Nigeria’s pro-democracy struggle, particularly following the annulled June 12, 1993, presidential election.Posthumous national honours were awarded to figures such as Kudirat Abiola, Chief Bola Ige, Pa Alfred Rewane, and members of the Ogoni Nine, including Ken Saro-Wiwa. Living recipients include Prof. Wole Soyinka and Gen. Alani Akinrinade (retd.), who received the Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger. Others awarded the Commander of the Order of the Niger include Femi Falana (SAN), Bishop Matthew Kukah, Senator Shehu Sani, and Governor Uba Sani.The recognition sparked criticism over the omission of key contributors to the struggle, such as Alhaji Balarabe Musa, Col. Dangiwa Umar, Dr. Bala Usman, and media activists like Joe Okei-Odumakin, Yinka Odumakin, and Dele Momodu. Former Governor Kayode Fayemi also lamented the lack of acknowledgement for those behind the Radio Kudirat project, which he managed during the military era.The Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) commended Tinubu for granting presidential pardon to the Ogoni Nine but stressed that what the people truly seek is full exoneration. MOSOP leader Fegalo Nsuke emphasized that the executed activists committed no crime and called for their names to be cleared legally and morally.The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide also praised the recognition of Prof. Humphrey Nwosu, who conducted the 1993 election. The group urged that the national electoral headquarters be named after him in further tribute.Fayemi, while acknowledging Tinubu’s gestures, stressed that Nigeria is yet to attain true democracy. He called for the establishment of a national museum or monument in Abuja to preserve the legacy of the democratic struggle. He also reiterated the need to distinguish between merely holding elections and achieving genuine democratic governance.

Covenant University Validates QNET’s Amezcua Bio Technology
Covenant University scientists have validated the anti-microbial and energy-enhancing properties of structured water produced with QNET’s Amezcua Bio Disc 3, reinforcing the credibility of quantum energy-based wellness innovations. At the Amezcua Science Dialogue, themed “Demystifying the Science Around QNET Products,” the findings were unveiled, showing how the Bio Disc 3—an energy-infused glass device—transforms water into a more bioavailable hexagonal structure (H₃O₂) with enhanced conductivity and reduced microbial load. Led by Prof. Abiodun Humphrey Adebayo, former Vice Chancellor of Covenant University and member of QNET’s Scientific Advisory Board, the research team observed: Higher electrical conductivity, indicating increased energy potentialSubstantial drop in microbial content, enhancing safety and shelf lifeImproved mineral absorption, beneficial to health “Our tests confirm that QNET’s Bio Disc makes water both safer and more energetically vibrant,” said Prof. Adebayo. “It’s not just theoretical—our lab results support it.” He clarified that the products—Bio Disc, e-Guard, BioLight, and Chi Pendant—are wellness tools, not medical devices, and align with global research on enhancing the human biofield through quantum energy. Hands-On Research, Real ResultsCovenant University’s Vice Chancellor, Prof. Timothy Anake, praised the project, highlighting its relevance to community health and academic growth: “We’re proud that our students are part of this. They’re not observers—they’re co-investigators.”Student-led studies on local drinks like zobo, kunu, palm wine, and tiger nut milk showed increased energy levels (via conductivity) and lower microbial presence after 12–72 hours of Bio Disc exposure—without affecting pH or taste. “This could help small-scale producers extend shelf life naturally,” noted student researcher Toluwanimi Afolayan. Microbiology student Lois Chiamaka Eze added that perishables like palm wine and kunu saw notable reductions in microbial count, presenting the Bio Disc as a non-chemical preservation solution. Breakthrough in AquacultureIn another study, biotechnology student Omonofa Adebayo revealed that catfish raised in Bio Disc-treated water doubled in weight and length within 28 days, with tanks showing higher dissolved oxygen and lower contamination. However, results varied with species. When used on tilapia, 29 out of 30 fish died—suggesting the energy output may be too intense for certain aquatic life. QNET RespondsTheodocia Naana Quartey, Head of Compliance at QNET, described the partnership with Covenant University as transformative: “This dialogue champions transparency, scientific integrity, and people-first innovation—values QNET upholds.” She commended Prof. Adebayo’s ability to translate complex wellness technologies into measurable scientific outcomes.

RIVERS STATE: MISLEADING COMMENTS ON LOCAL GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATION, AND THE SUPREME COURT JUDGEMEN
We ordinarily would have refrained from responding to commentaries by individuals or groups seeking to achieve cheap popularity as regards the lawful actions of the Administrator in Rivers State.However, when such commentaries contain blatant misinformation and are disseminated on a platform with extensive national reach, we are compelled to set the record straight for the benefit of the public.During a recent appearance on ARISE TV's “The Morning Show”, Mr. Jake Epelle made misleading and inflamatory remarks regarding the appointment of Administrators for Local Government Areas in Rivers State. While attempting to mask his bias with faint praise-referring to the Administrator as a “gentleman”and a “well-trained officer”-Mr. Epelle proceeded to label the lawful administrative measures as “illegal." Even more reckless was his unfounded insinuation of “ethic cleansing,” a claim that is not only baseless but dangerously inflammatory.Ignorance of Supreme Court JudgementMr. Epelle's assertions conveniently ignore the landmark judgement of the Supreme Court in Suit No. SC/CV/1176/2024 (Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) & Nine Others), where the apex court unequivocally ruled that any local government election conducted in violation of the Electoral Act is “unconstitutional, null, and void."Given this clear judicial position, it is disingenious for anyone to suggest that Administrator's actions taken in strict compliance with the law-are illegal. We expect public commentators, especially those granted national platforms, to engage in informed discourse rather than peddle politically motivated falsehoods.A Call for Responsible JournalismWe are particularly disappointed that ARISE TV, through its anchor Dr. Reuben Abati-an experienced journalist, lawyer, and former presidential spokesperson-allowed such misinformation to go unchallenged. The media has a duty to uphold truth and balance. We must take to cognizance that responsible journalism embodies a commitment to fairness, fact, accountability and ethical decision-making to ensure an informed society that values accurate information and diverse perspective and not amplify sensationalism.Restoring Order in Rivers StateRivers State is navigating a delicate phase in its democratic journey. The Administrator and his team remain committed to restoring lawful governance in line with the mandate of Mr. President. Recent events including the demolition of the State House of Assembly complex, the irregular passage of appropriation bills, and other security threats demanded decisive intervention. Should the President, who swore an oath to protect lives, property, and Nigeria's territorial integrity, have stood idly by?Appeal for Peace and ResponsibilityThis is a time for sobriety, not reckless rhetoric. While the Constitution guarantees freedom of speech, it must be exercised with responsibility. We urge all stakeholders to prioritize peace and work collectively towards stabilizing Rivers State.SIGNEDTOBIAS OTIBARA TAMUNOBELEMACONVERNER, Rivers Progressive People's FrontPort Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria
