 Russian forces to stay in Mali to fight terrorism: Kremlin The Kremlin said on Thursday that Russian forces would stay in Mali to help the country's government battle terrorists following an offensive over the weekend by Tuareg-led separatists and terrorists. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the statement after being asked by a reporter how Russia responded to a purported statement from the terrorists saying they wanted Russia to leave Mali. "Russia's presence there is, in fact, due to the need identified by the current government.

 Amupitan: I had conviction from God before accepting INEC appointment


Joash Amupitan, chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), says he had the conviction that God would help before he accepted his appointment to lead the electoral body.


Amupitan spoke in Abuja on Wednesday at the end of tenure and appreciation service organised by the Nigerian Baptist Convention for its outgoing president, Israel Akanji, and his wife, Victoria.


The INEC chairman said he would not have accepted the offer without such a conviction from God, saying, ” the Lord said, ‘Fear not; do not be dismayed.'”


“If I didn’t have the conviction for this job, I would not accept it. But I had a conviction very clearly that… the Lord said, ‘fear not, do not be dismayed.’ He said, ‘I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will uphold you.’ I heard this clearly before I accepted this job,” he said.


According to him, God has been on his side since his assumption of office and called for prayers from Nigeria to make the 2027 elections the best ever.


“No matter the storm, no matter the difficulty, God is able to calm every storm. That is what God has been doing,” he said.


“My experience so far as the INEC chairman is that if God does not send you somewhere, do not go there, including the ministry; if God does not send you, do not do it. I cannot do it on my own, but with God on my side, it is possible.


“Continue to pray for Nigeria, continue to pray for us, and continue to pray for me that the 2027 election will be the best ever. I cannot do it on my own, but with the Lord on my side, it is possible, and it is doable
