 SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS PRESIDENT'S POWER TO DECLARE EMERGENCY RULE The  supreme court has affirmed the president's constitutional authority to declare a state of emergency in a state threatened by breakdown of law and order, including the power to temporarily suspend elected officials as an extraordinary measure to restore stability. The seven-man panel of justices of the apex court gave the order in a 6 to 1 split decision on a suit filed by Adamawa state and 10 others challenging president Bola Tinubu's march 18, 2025 declaration of emergency rule in Rivers state.  The declaration had led to the six-month suspension of the state's governor, deputy governor, and members of the house of assembly amid prolonged political crisis and security concerns.

 Witches and wizards trapped me in my mother's womb till 12th month - Obasanjo


Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has recalled how his mother carried his pregnancy for 12 months before his eventual birth.


According to the retired military general, the delay in his birth was linked to the influence of some witches and wizards who gave his mother a tough time before God's intervention.


Obasanjo revealed this while speaking during a drama presentation titled 'Aremu omo Asabi' held to mark 66 years remembrance of Obasanjo’s late mother, Bernice Obasanjo.


This is contained issued by the former President's Media Assistant, Kehinde Akinyemi, on Thursday, July 25, 2024.


The drama was staged at the main auditorium of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta, Ogun State capital on Wednesday.


Obasanjo, however, rued the fact that his mother never lived long enough to witness how God had helped him to become great in life and of course, enjoy the fruits of her hard labour.


He added that even though his mother had nine children, only two of them, himself and his sister, survived.


"I was told I was in my mother’s womb for 12 months, and since I was born, I have not been left for once. She had nine children, but two of us survived, myself and my sister.


“I was the only one who went to school because my father’s belief was that no matter how educated a female child is, she would end up in the kitchen,” he stated.


Speaking at the programme, the former President also promised to support the troupe's quest to present the longest open drama to etch their name in the Guinness Book of Records.
