 Please pardon me before Trump throws me in jail – Cohen begs President Biden A former lawyer of United States President-elect Donald Trump, has pleaded with outgoing President Joe Biden to grant him a pardon just like he did for his son Hunter. Cohen is claiming that Trump will punish him for testifying against the politician in his hush money conviction. Cohen had already been convicted for his role in the case years earlier. He was also the star witness for the prosecution as Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts in the case last year. Cohen served as the go-between for the $130,000 payment Trump made to adult film star, Stormy before the 2016 presidential election. With Mr Trump ready to return to the White House in a week, Mr Cohen is calling on Mr Biden to issue a presidential pardon for him before he leaves office, stating that he and others on Mr Trump’s ‘enemies list’ deserved pardons like Mr Biden’s son, who was granted full and unconditional pardon. “I put in applicati...

 Amaechi holding night meetings, working with Atiku to unseat Tinubu – Okocha-led APC alleges By John Owen Nwachukwu The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State has been embroiled in crisis, which is traceable to 2018 when the Supreme Court banned it from being part of the 2019 general election in the state.

In this exclusive interview with DAILY POST, Mr Chibuike Ikenga, the spokesperson of the faction of the party led by Tony Okocha, opens up on how it all began, especially, the role played by former Governor Chibuike Amaechi, chances of Governor Sim Fubara returning to the Bricks House in 2027 and the melting relationship between FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike and Peter Odili.

 Power generation increased by 30% in 2024 – Minister Minister of Power Adebayo Adelabu has said that power generation in Nigeria increased by about 30 per cent in 2024. Adelabu made the disclosure during his ministry’s 2025 budget defence before the Senate Committee on Power at the National Assembly complex. He said that when he assumed the leadership of the ministry in 2023, he met an average of 4,100 megawatts of power generation. “I can tell you authoritatively that by the end of 2024, we had a peak generation of 5,528 megawatts of power from 4,100 megawatts that we met on ground. “And the reason for this is not far-fetched. We added a new hydroelectric power dam, Zungeru, with 700 megawatts. “There was also a tremendous increase in the generation lines by other existing generation companies,” he said. The minister said that the target for power generation was 6,000 megawatts, adding, however, that due to the challenges experienced toward the end of 2024 in terms of grid collap...
