 PRESIDENT TINUBU CONGRATULATES GOVERNOR HYACINTH ALIA ON HIS 60TH BIRTHDAY President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Reverend Father Hyacinth Alia,  Governor of Benue State, and an ordained priest on his 60th birthday. In a statement personally signed by President Tinubu, he says "I commend Governor Alia for his transformative efforts to industrialise the state and expand its road network. Benue State, famously Nigeria's food basket, now has tomatoes and fruit juice, beer, nylon and polythene factories, as well as a large-scale bakery, providing jobs for its people and adding value to its agricultural products. The iconic underpasses in Makurdi and Gboko have also eased traffic and improved urban life." It adds that Governor Alia's political journey is simply that of faith made manifest, ordained a Catholic priest in 1990 by Bishop Athanasius Atule Usuh of Makurdi Catholic Diocese.

CLINTONS SET TO TESTIFY BEFORE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE . (PHOTO).


 Clintons set to testify before House Oversight Committee 

Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are scheduled to testify before the House Oversight Committee next week as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, a committee spokeswoman confirmed. The depositions are set to take place in Chappaqua, New York, on Feb. 26 and 27. Neither Clinton has been accused of any wrongdoing.

Most depositions related to the Epstein probe have been conducted in Washington, D.C., though exceptions have been made. Billionaire Les Wexner testified at his Ohio estate, and Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell gave her deposition virtually from a federal prison in Texas. The Clintons were initially scheduled to testify last year, but their appearance was postponed due to scheduling conflicts. A standoff with House Republicans arose after they declined to appear for a rescheduled deposition earlier this month.

The committee subpoenaed the Clintons in August for testimony regarding Epstein, alongside several former Justice Department officials and FBI directors. After the committee advanced contempt resolutions against them, the Clintons agreed to comply. They proposed testifying via recorded depositions, with Hillary on Feb. 26 and Bill on Feb. 27. Committee Chair James Comer confirmed the depositions will follow standard rules, treating the Clintons the same as other witnesses.

The Justice Department has released millions of pages of Epstein-related files since the passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The initial release included photos of Bill Clinton, who has said he traveled on Epstein’s plane for Clinton Foundation trips before Epstein faced criminal charges. Clinton has denied any wrongdoing, stating he severed ties with Epstein before allegations of sexual misconduct emerged in 2006. Hillary Clinton’s spokesperson has questioned her connection to the investigation.
