The Proprietor, Esther Ajayi Foundation and General Overseer, Love of Christ, Cherubim and Seraphim, located in London, England, Reverend Mother Esther Abimbola Ajayi, has extended his giving attitude to yet another institution of learning in Lagos State.

The lucky beneficiary this time is Agboyi Nursery and Primary School in the Lagos suburb.

Disclosing this kind gesture, which has become a hallmark of the ebullient preacher of the gospel, a close associate and the Founder of Focus on Disability Foundation, Mr. Abiodun Paseda, who made the donations on her behalf, said that the items donated by the great woman of prayer include brand new school uniforms for 400 pupils, desktop computers, ceiling fans, computer desks, modern office tables and chairs, burglar windows and security gates among others.

He noted that still in the spirit of affecting a million lives, which the Esther Ajayi Foundation pledged at the beginning of the year, and which, according to statistics has almost been surpassed, the items are meant to assist the parents of the pupils towards keeping them in school and provide a comfortable working environment for the staff of the school.

Mr Paseda took it upon himself to hand over the school uniforms to the 400 pupils, who expressed loud gratitude at the efforts of the Reverend Mother.

While receiving the other items, the Head Master of the school, Mr. J. O. Odejayi, thanked Reverend Mother Ajayi and Esther Ajayi Foundation on behalf of the staff and pupils of the school for remembering them in her quest to end poverty and deprivation in the land.

“Our hearts are filled with so much joy on a day like this for these wonderful gifts. Today, our school wears a new look; the staff room and other offices can now boast of modern office equipment like comfortable furniture and computer accessories. We are very grateful to Reverend Mother Esther Ajayi, her church Love of Christ and the Esther Ajayi Foundation. God, in his infinite mercies will continue to grant her all the good things of life, and the longevity to enjoy them. God bless you ma,” he said.

In his response, Paseda reminded the school of Reverend MotherAjayi’s listening ear, saying that she will be at their beck and call whenever the situation arises.

“It is Mother Ajayi’s intention to put smiles on the faces of as many people as possible. She will continue to move around to discover more avenues to showcase the kindness God has blessed her with. Feel free to call on her anytime, and she will as usual give you a listening ear,” Paseda said.

It will be recalled that in the bid to reach out to one million lives in 2018, the Esther Ajayi Foundation has reached to a great number of people across the nation, spreading the good news of brotherliness, gratitude and giving.

The Centre for Reform and Public Advocacy (CFRPA) has filed a suit at the Federal High Court in Kano seeking the disqualification of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu from the 2027 presidential election over allegations of certificate forgery.

‎According to court documents seen by Daily Trust, the plaintiff alleged that Tinubu presented forged academic certificates from Chicago State University and a fake National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) discharge certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) during the 2023 elections.

‎‎The suit, marked FHC/K/CS/312/2026, lists Tinubu, INEC, and Chicago State University as defendants.

‎The plaintiff contended that Tinubu never attended Government College Lagos as claimed, noting that the school was established in 1974, four years after Tinubu allegedly graduated.

The CSO further argued that Tinubu does not possess a valid secondary school certificate, which is the minimum constitutional requirement to contest for the presidency.

‎It claimed that INEC had failed to act on its petition dated June 19, 2026, demanding clarification on Tinubu’s eligibility.

‎‎In its statement of claims, the group referenced a 2023 U.S. court ruling in In Re: Application of Atiku Abubakar (No. 23 CV 05099), which compelled Chicago State University to release Tinubu’s academic records.

‎The plaintiff insisted those records revealed false entries and inconsistencies, including a forged University of Cambridge General Certificate of Education.

‎The prayers asked by the plaintiff included declaration of forgery against Tinubu’s Chicago State University certificate, issuance of an order directing INEC to disqualify him from the 2027 presidential election, directing CSU to strike Tinubu’s name from its records and perpetual injunction restraining INEC from uploading Tinubu’s name as a candidate.

‎The plaintiff also submitted affidavits of non-multiplicity of action, witness statements, and letters to the NYSC and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, demanding disclaimers on the alleged fake NYSC certificate.

Insecurity: Adeboye, Oyedepo Urge More US Military Action in Nigeria

The General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, and Founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, have thanked U.S. President Donald Trump for recent military action against terrorism in Nigeria, urging Washington to do more to halt the unrelenting attacks.

Both clerics spoke at the “Faith Heroes Award Gala” in Washington D.C. on June 26, 2026, organised by Save Nigeria Group USA, SNGUSA, with the US-Nigeria Civil Society Coalition.

The event honoured Trump, Congressmen Chris Smith and Riley Moore, and other advocates of religious freedom in Nigeria.

Addressing a packed audience of activists, policymakers and faith leaders at the Hilton Garden Inn, Capitol Hill, Adeboye said the scale of violence has moved beyond what any religious leader can handle alone.

“Terrorism is now at my doorstep,” he said. “If you want to help us, help us more.”

The RCCG leader, who had faced criticism for not speaking out earlier, said he chose “spiritual warfare” instead of public escalation. He noted that Trump’s December strikes on terrorist camps did not surprise him because the U.S. President had warned of consequences.
