 STATEHOUSE PRESS STATEMENT PRESIDENT TINUBU'S MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCE TO CHIMAMANDA ADICHIE AND HER FAMILY   With a deep sense of grief, I condole with Ms Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, her husband, Dr Ivara Esege, and the entire family on the passing of their son, Nkanu Nnamdi.   As a parent myself who has suffered the loss of a loved one, no grief is as devastating as losing a child.   I empathise with the family at this difficult time, and I mourn this sad loss with them.   Ms Adichie is a literary icon who has brought joy and light to many homes globally, and I pray she and her family find strength in the Almighty in this trying hour.   My prayers are with the family.   Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Federal Republic of Nigeria January 8, 2026

 El-Rufai, Uba Sani Should Collaborate, Not Clash – Bishop Fearon


Most Reverend Josiah Idowu-Fearon, Chairman of the Kaduna State Peace Commission, has urged Governor Uba Sani and his predecessor, Nasir El-Rufai, to reconcile their differences and work together for the benefit of Kaduna State and Nigeria.


Speaking during a Zoom session with select journalists in Kaduna, Bishop Fearon addressed the ongoing public rift between the two political figures, stressing the need for unity over discord.


Fearon, who also serves as Assistant Bishop in the Diocese of Southwark and Theologian in Residence at St John the Divine, Houston, advised both leaders to avoid actions that harm one another and instead join forces for the common good.


Reflecting on the situation, he said, “This is not a healthy development. The fact that we, as elders, failed to intervene early reflects our own shortcomings. Religious and traditional leaders in the state have not played their roles effectively—possibly due to taking sides. But all hope is not lost. With prayer and perseverance, we can find a way forward from this crisis that has divided Kaduna’s political class.”


The former Secretary General of the Anglican Communion (2015–2022) also called for an end to the politicization of religion in Nigeria, particularly in the northern region. “Anyone with faith in God is a believer. Our religions may differ, but religion alone does not save anyone,” he stated.


He continued, “Religious leaders must stop distorting scriptures to poison the minds of their followers. People of faith—regardless of religion—can work, serve, and build Kaduna together. The divisive rhetoric of ‘Muslim-Muslim’ or ‘Christian-Christian’ tickets must end. What we need is a shared commitment to doing good, regardless of religious identity.”


Bishop Fearon further challenged political leaders in Kaduna to adopt a more transparent and inclusive approach to governance. “Young people are demanding proof of good governance. We need accountability, transparency, and fairness. Appointments and opportunities should be based on merit, experience, and performance. The public deserves to know how resources are being managed and distributed.”
