 Mark Consuelos details 'brutal five-month saga' before his father's death: 'I miss my dad' Mark Consuelos has spoken candidly about the loss of his father, Saul Consuelos, who passed away on March 23 after a long illness.  Appearing on the I’ve Never Said This Before with Tommy DiDario podcast, the Live with Kelly and Mark co-host reflected on the painful five-month period leading up to his father’s death.  He recalled knowing the end was near but admitted that the reality of the loss still hit him hard.  Consuelos shared that he was able to say goodbye while working on the Broadway play Fallen Angels, and though he later learned of his father’s passing during rehearsals, the production served as a welcome distraction.

 Minister Addresses Staff Protest, Claims Controversy Boosts Popularity


The Minister of Women Affairs, Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, addressed staff concerns at a town hall meeting held at the National Centre for Women’s Development on Friday, following a protest by ministry workers on Wednesday, September 10. The workers had locked the minister out of the office, protesting poor welfare conditions and prolonged neglect, while chanting solidarity songs and demanding her removal.


Speaking calmly, Sulaiman-Ibrahim stated she harbored no anger toward the protesters, emphasizing that the controversy had unexpectedly increased her public profile. “I’m not upset. In fact, I’m now a more popular politician. People who didn’t know me now know me,” she said, noting that the situation had brought greater visibility to the ministry’s work. “More people are going to look at our work and like it. We have thrown ourselves into the public domain.”


The minister acknowledged the workers’ grievances, stating she had been briefed by the Permanent Secretary and had explored creative solutions to address welfare concerns. “I know the problems we have. We have tried to be creative,” she assured the staff.


Sulaiman-Ibrahim also clarified that she was not attached to her position, distinguishing herself from politicians who cling to office. “I’m not afraid of leaving here. Whatever was given to me, I did it properly,” she said, referencing her mandate to advance President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda for women. She urged workers to respect authority and work collaboratively to safeguard the ministry’s mission.


The minister, who has served twice in her role, emphasized her commitment to delivering results, stating, “Nobody can take that out of my CV.” She appealed for unity, urging staff to support the ministry’s goals and respect its structure for the sake of national progress.


The town hall meeting marks an effort to resolve tensions within the ministry, as Sulaiman-Ibrahim seeks to address staff concerns while advancing her agenda.
