President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Friday held a closed-door meeting with the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, in what the Presidency described as part of ongoing high-level consultations to deepen national cohesion.

Naija News reports that the engagement came barely days after the President met with the Archbishop of Abuja, Bishop Ignatius Ayau Kaigama, signaling intensified outreach to moral, religious, and cultural leaders across the country.

Videos of the two meetings were posted on 𝕏 by the President’s Special Assistant on social media, who said the consultations were aimed at strengthening dialogue and rebuilding social trust at a delicate moment in Nigeria’s national life.

Presidency officials told The Nation that the engagements form a central plank of Tinubu’s efforts to consolidate peace, foster religious harmony, and address emerging tensions across the federation.

“These meetings are part of the President’s broad consultations with key moral and cultural leaders to enhance national integration and tackle social challenges,” one senior official said.

According to sources within the Villa, the meetings reflect Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which places inclusivity, interfaith respect, and dialogue at the heart of governance. Officials said the administration views religious and traditional institutions as vital partners in sustaining national stability.

“Inclusivity and interfaith cooperation are core pillars of the Renewed Hope Agenda,” a Presidency aide noted, adding that such engagements help strengthen unity at a time of global tension.

The President’s meetings come at a time Nigeria is under international watch following US President Donald Trump’s October 31 redesignation of Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern”.

Washington had claimed that more than 7,000 Christians were killed in the first seven months of 2025 in attacks linked to Boko Haram, ISWAP, and Fulani militants, allegations that triggered diplomatic reactions.

The Federal Government has since dismissed the numbers and rejected the CPC label, insisting that Nigeria’s constitution guarantees freedom of worship and that the security crisis affects citizens of all faiths.

Officials described the genocide narrative as “a false and misleading account that does not reflect realities on the ground.”

A video of Davido’s billionaire father, Adedeji Adeleke, addressing his eldest son and wife at their traditional wedding has emerged online

The highlight of Davido’s father’s advice to the newly wedded couple was on happiness and money

Davido’s billionaire father’s opinion about happiness, however, didn’t go down well with many Nigerians as they reacted differently

Dr. Adedeji Adeleke, father of Afrobeats star Davido, recently made waves online following a heartfelt message he delivered at his son’s traditional wedding, stressing that true happiness in marriage was beyond financial wealth.

Recall that Davido’s eldest brother, Nicholas Adeleke, had his traditional wedding in Lagos, with prominent figures like billionaire Aliko Dangote, the Alaafin of Oyo, former Senate President Bukola Saraki, and others in attendance.

Addressing the couple, Davido’s father stressed that while money and success were good, they were not the foundation of a happy home. He noted that many people who were not financially buoyant live happily, while some with “billions in the bank” remain miserable.

“It’s just God’s blessing. Once you have that in your family, you know you have a happy family,” he said. “Happiness is not about money. The most important thing is peace, happiness, and friendship in your home.”

He also advised the newlyweds to make prayer and support a daily practice.

The most important thing is that both of you must pray for each other every morning and every night,” he advised.

In related news, Legit also reported that Davido attended his eldest brother’s wedding alongside his first child, daughter Imade Adeleke. The video of Davido’s father addressing the newly wedded couple is below:

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command of the Nigeria Police Force has provided an account of the circumstances that led to the arrest and arraignment of Samuel Ojeogwu, also known as Sammy West, the brother of Nollywood actress Regina Daniels.

SP Josephine Adeh, the command’s spokesperson, said officers received a petition on October 28, 20025 alleging several offences including criminal conspiracy, trespass, assault, criminal intimidation, theft and cyber-bullying against Samuel and three others.

According to the police, several invitations were extended to Samuel by the Metro Area Command for questioning but were not honored.

“Upon receipt of the petition, several invitations were extended to Mr Samuel Ojeogwu by the Metro Area Command for questioning, which were not honored. Mr. Samuel Ojeogwu was arrested in Lagos on the authority of a duly issued arrest warrant from a competent court, and subsequently conveyed to Abuja for further investigation,” the statement said.

SP Adeh said the investigations concluded with Samuel’s arraignment on Thursday, 6 November 2025, and that the court remanded him in prison pending fulfilment of his bail conditions.

“Upon the conclusion of investigations, the suspect was on November 6, 2025, charged to court for offences bordering on criminal conspiracy, criminal trespass, assault, criminal intimidation, and theft. He has been remanded by the court pending the fulfilment of his bail conditions,” the release added.

Local media earlier reported that Regina Daniels had accused her husband’s camp of orchestrating her brother’s detention. In a social-media post, the actress described the situation and the family response: “Two concluded sworn enemies reuniting with no negative ulterior motive other than their daughter’s happiness. And I dare question God for putting me in this situation?”

She said her estranged parents had travelled to Abuja to seek her brother’s release and acknowledged her frustration at the length of his detention: “Sammy’s detainment is taking way too long, but we will get him out even if I have to march there myself and create a storm! Since they want me!”

The FCT Command reiterated its commitment to professional policing and due process as the matter proceeds through the courts.
