 Serena Williams' husband addresses critics over White House UFC event Alexis Ohanian, husband of tennis star Serena Williams, faced backlash after attending President Trump’s 80th birthday celebration at the White House, which doubled as a UFC event staged by Dana White’s TKO group. The spectacle drew criticism when fighter Josh Hokit used his post-fight interview to make a vile slur about former First Lady Michelle Obama.  Ohanian, who co-founded Reddit and now owns several sports teams, stayed silent for days before finally condemning the remark on social media, insisting he had already left the event when it was made. In his statement, Ohanian explained that he attended at the invitation of UFC’s parent company and emphasized his past decision to resign from Reddit in protest against hate-filled communities. He also noted he was leaving the venue early due to jet lag from traveling between Europe and the U.S. to support Williams’ tennis comeback.  While he expressed r...

 President Tinubu to Visit Abia State on May 23 for Road Project Commissioning


President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to visit Abia State on May 23, 2025, to commission the newly reconstructed 6.5-kilometer Port Harcourt Road in Aba, among other projects, according to the Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi. The road, revitalized by Governor Alex Otti’s administration, had been in a state of disrepair for over 15 years.


Umahi shared this update with journalists during an inspection of the Osisioma axis of the 56-kilometer Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway, a separate federal project. The minister praised Governor Otti for the high-quality reconstruction of Port Harcourt Road, noting its completion as a significant achievement. “You know Otti is my relation, and doing good while in office runs in our veins. I’m not surprised at what he is doing,” Umahi remarked, expressing satisfaction with the governor’s performance.


Addressing concerns about the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway, Umahi revealed that reconstruction, which began in 2013, is on track for completion by November 2025, with President Tinubu expected to commission the project. However, he raised concerns about recent damage to a two-kilometer section of the expressway at Osisioma, attributed to a contractor working on underground drainage for the Abia State government. Umahi directed the Controller of Works in Abia to halt the contractor’s activities and report to the Ministry’s headquarters in Abuja for further discussions. He also pledged to collaborate with Governor Otti to resolve the issue amicably.


The upcoming presidential visit underscores the federal and state governments’ commitment to improving infrastructure in Abia State, with the Port Harcourt Road project expected to boost economic activities in Aba, a key commercial hub.
