    BREAKING: NUJ FCT Council Chairman sacked chapel heads take over

    Members of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) FCT Council have fired the Chairman, Comrade Patrick Osadebamwen.

    This development cropped over botched Congress of the NUJ FCT Council held on Saturday, October 19th, to set up a credentials committee meant to oversee the election of officials for the Council in December.

    Palaver started midway into the Congress, following accusation of bias levelled against Mr Osadebamwen.

    Osadebamwen was also accused of having flouted provisions of the NUJ Constitution in the nomination process.

    At the time of filing this report, the Chairman of the NUJ FCT Council and members of his executive have been impeached after signatures were gathered for the impeachment notice.

    It was gathered that the State Executive Council (SEC), made up of Chairmen of all the Chapels in NUJ FCT Council, has taken over the activities of the Council going forward.

    Meanwhile, some elders of the Council, led by Elder Timothy Oloruntoba Elerewe, former Chairman of FCT Correspondents Chapel and the secretary the Nigerian Guild of Editors, Iyobosa Ewugiaren made efforts to calm the situation to ensure due process was followed but proved abortive.

    It’s all lies, Aso Rock chapel was never closed – First Lady’s aide reacts

     

    The Aso Rock Chapel was never closed at any time as being speculated in the social media networks.

    TheNewsGuru.com, (TNG) reports this was contained in a statement issued by First Lady Remi Tinubu’s SA Media, Busola Kukoyi on Monday.

    Read statement below:

    RE: PURPORTED CLOSURE OF ASO VILLA CHAPEL BY FIRST LADY,SEN. OLUREMI TINUBU,CON*

    “Our attention has been drawn to a story making the rounds on social media about the purported closure of the AsoRock Chapel by the First Lady of Nigeria, Sen Olurermi Tinubu OON,CON.

    “We wish to state categorically that this is a fabrication and totally false representation of the true situation, as the First Lady at no time gave such directive that the Chapel be shut and the keys handed over to Her Excellency.
    Presently there are weekly fellowships going on at the Chapel.
    However, Mr President is yet to appoint a Chaplain for the chapel after the exit of the last Chaplain, as he only reserves the right to appoint a Chaplain for the Chapel.
