The year 2017 is starting strong for Mavins first lady and R.E.D crooner, Tiwa Savage as she and Congolese veteran and soukous god, Awilo Longomba are cooking up a tune together.

Both talents were spotted together during studio session while Tiwa made a post on Instagram saying; Tiwa Savage coming soon @awilolongomba such a honor

Although they did not reveal the official title to the track, we would just have to keep our finger crossed and expect an exceptional tune.

On the other hand, rumors have it that Tiwa Savage and her estranged husband TeeBillz are back together. Hmmm.

President Muhammadu Buhari has inaugurated the Primary Health Care Centre for Universal Health Coverage in Nigeria at Kuchigoro with a promise to ensure access to quality basic healthcare.

Buhari said at the inauguration on Tuesday in Abuja that the provision of quality health care service would reverse the poor health indices in the country.

He said the administration would fulfill the promises made to the people.

“I am hopeful that our women will no more be dying needlessly during childbirth; our children will no more be dying needlessly as a result of vaccine preventable diseases or common ailment; access to health care will not be limited because of lack of money to pay.

“I want to assure Nigerians that Government will continue to ensure that great numbers of Nigerians have access to quality basic health care services.;;

The National Health Act, 2014 for the Basic Health Care Provision Fund, he said, was in the process of being implemented.

Buhari said that the inauguration of the Health Centre marked the beginning of revitalization of the first 109 Primary Health Care facilities in the 36 states and FCT.

According to him, the vision of his administration is to revitalise 10,000 Primary Health Care Facilities in Nigeria using a phased approach.

“Our administration in recognition of this promised to revitalize one Primary Health Care Centre in each of the political wards in the country.

“So far, we have commenced the revitalization of one Primary Health Care in each senatorial zone in the country.’’

“The first phase of this approach is what we are flagging off today. It will signal the revitalization of the first 109 Primary Health Care facilities across the 36 states and the FCT.

“Kuchigoro Primary Health Care Centre has been renovated as a model primary health care centre where quality health care services will be obtained at little or no cost to the beneficiaries.

Gloom enveloped Enugu State yesterday as the news of the death of the ‘acting’ National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Ozo Nwabueze Okafor, filtered into town. He died yesterday morning after a brief illness at the age of 47.

Circumstances surrounding the demise of the young politician, who was a two-term chairman of Enugu South Local Council, were still sketchy as at press time. He was, however, reported to have died in Enugu.

His bosom friend and former House of Representative member for Enugu North and South, Offor Chukwuegbo, who confirmed the incident, said it was a “sudden one”, adding that he was still shocked over the development.

“It is unbelievable because he has been a vibrant young man. He suddenly became ill and was rushed to the hospital where he died,” the erstwhile federal lawmaker stated.

Okafor became APGA’s ‘acting’ chair following the alleged removal from office of Chief Victor Oye in October last year by the members of the National Working Committee (NWC), a case that is still before the Federal High Court, Abuja.

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has welcomed the removal of Financial Reporting Council (FRC) Executive Secretary, Mr. Jim Obazee.

FRC is the body whose law led to the retirement of Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye as General Overseer of Nigerian arm of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).

Reacting, CAN General Secretary, Rev. Musa Asake said the sack of Obazee by President Muhammadu Buhari was divine.

He said God used authorities to punish the official for daring to interfere in the work of the church.

“The sack of Jim (Obazee) is good riddance to bad rubbish. Anybody that wants to fight the church will find himself where he does not want,” he told The Nation.

“Jim got to the position by the grace of God, but set out to probe and destroy the church of God. I spoke with him several times on this issue but he wouldn’t listen.

“He was going to take the church to what is worse than Armageddon. Thank God the authorities have stepped in to right the wrong.

“He should have been fired a long time ago and we don’t know why he was left alone, but God’s time is always the best.

“That code should be thrown out completely because government should not interfere with the church.

“The church is a no-go zone for the government. Doing that has serious implications. If they attempt it, it will lead to confusion in the nation”, he added.

Similarly, Senior Pastor, Living Spring Chapel International, Lagos, Pastor Femi Emmanuel, has condemned the controversial law.

He said the sack “is a right step in the right direction. Government has no business meddling in the internal structure and governance of the church.

“There is no government in the world that does that. Anyone who does that is incurring the wrath of God. Yes, there could be financial regulation of churches but never in the internal structure of the church.

“Everything that has to do with the internal structure and governance of the church must be expunged from the code.”

Obazee, a former pastor of the RCCG, had said only 89 of the 23,216 registered churches in the country had complied with FRC provisions.

Meanwhile, the leadership of CAN is set to hold an emergency meeting on the FRC code and other related matters.

CAN President Rev. Samson Ayokunle said the organisation’s lawyers would review the issues and make their position known to the public.
