 Mexico agrees to host Iran’s World Cup team after U.S. declines to accommodate squad, Sheinbaum says    Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday that Mexico has agreed to host the Iranian national football team during the upcoming World Cup after the United States declined to accommodate the squad. Sheinbaum said the decision followed a request from FIFA, which sought an alternative arrangement after U.S. officials indicated they did not want Iran’s team staying in the country for the duration of the tournament, even though Iran is scheduled to play all of its group-stage matches on U.S. soil. “We have no reason to deny them the possibility of staying in Mexico,” Sheinbaum said during her daily press conference, adding that Mexico accepted the request in coordination with tournament organizers.

 Traditional Rulers in Ibeku Reverse Libation Against Governor Alex Otti


Some traditional rulers from various communities in Ibeku Egwu Asaa, Umuahia North Local Government Area of Abia State, have performed a counter-libation to nullify and reverse an earlier ritual allegedly directed against Governor Alex Otti by a former state Commissioner, Charles Ogbonnaya.


In a video that went viral on social media, Ogbonnaya, a former Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, was seen pouring water on the ground and raising a kola nut while invoking the ancestors. He accused Governor Otti of denying the ancestors their rights by allegedly operating the affairs of the state from his private residence in Nvosi, Isiala Ngwa South LGA, rather than the Government House in Umuahia.


Reacting swiftly to the development, traditional rulers and community leaders from different clans within Ibeku land conducted a separate libation ceremony aimed at reversing the former commissioner’s prayers.


Describing Ogbonnaya as their “prestigious” and “distinguished son,” the monarchs made it clear that his action did not receive their blessing or approval.


The traditional rulers stressed that no individual has the right to perform such traditional rites without the consent and knowledge of the recognized custodians of the land.


“We are not dissatisfied with our son, but the action he took was not good and was never approved by us, the traditional rulers,” the Ezes stated.


They further declared: “All evil wine and words against Governor Alex Otti are reversed. It shall be well with Governor Alex Otti.”


The monarchs expressed satisfaction with Governor Otti’s performance in office so far and warned against using the name of Ibeku land for political purposes.
