Tinubu Appoints Grace Henry as First Female Chair of Nigerian Legion

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Grace Henry as the new chairman of the National Council of the Nigerian Legion, marking a historic first as both the first woman and the first non-commissioned officer to lead the country’s foremost veterans’ organization.
The announcement was made on Thursday in Abuja via a statement by Abdul Lauya, Senior Special Assistant on Media and Digital Communications to the chairman.
According to the statement, Henry’s appointment was formalized through a letter signed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, and takes effect from June 7.
Born on October 5, 1964, Henry brings with her over 25 years of military and administrative experience. She retired from the Nigerian Army in 2000 and most recently served as Director of Corporate Affairs at the Legion’s headquarters in Abuja. She is also the current National Coordinator for Female Military Veterans of Nigeria.
She succeeds retired Major General AbdulMalik Jibrin. Her appointment is widely seen as a reflection of the Federal Government’s commitment to promoting gender inclusion and equal representation within the military veterans’ community.
President Tinubu expressed confidence in her leadership and urged her to leverage her experience to reposition the Nigerian Legion, which serves as a vital support system for the nation’s ex-servicemen and women.
Her appointment is expected to usher in a new era of reforms and revitalization for the Legion amid growing calls for improved veteran welfare and institutional development.
The Nigerian Legion, a statutory body established to support the welfare of ex-servicemen and their dependents, plays a critical role in the rehabilitation, reintegration, and economic empowerment of military veterans. It also promotes national unity through remembrance events such as the Armed Forces Remembrance Day and collaborates with various agencies to uphold the dignity of retired military personnel.
In response to certain media reports describing her as “one of the most powerful non-commissioned ex-service personnel,” Henry distanced herself from the characterization.
“She wishes to make it clear that leadership is not about grandstanding or media posturing,” Lauya stated. “There is no such thing as being ‘most powerful’ under her leadership.”
Henry emphasized that the Legion remains a unified body, representing all veterans—commissioned and non-commissioned—without bias or division. She condemned any effort to create artificial hierarchies within the organization and called on the media to refrain from spreading unverified claims.
“She remains committed to the principles of unity, service, and integrity,” the statement added. “Ms. Grace Morenike Henry belongs to all and to none in particular. Her mission is to serve all Nigerian veterans equally and selflessly.”

“Igbo Presidency Will Happen, But Not in 2027” — David Umahi

Minister of Works and former Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, has called for unity and strategic political engagement from the Southeast, saying the region must be patient and wise in its approach to national leadership.

“Let’s not be deceived. For a stronger relationship with this administration, the Southeast must give Mr. President up to 90% support,” he said.
Umahi stressed that the dream of an Igbo presidency is very much alive, but cautioned that 2027 is not the time. He called on Southeast leaders and citizens to reject divisive politics and misinformation.
“We can’t be playing the politics of hate and expect other regions to trust us with power. Let’s support the President to complete his 8 years — every region is benefitting.”
He reaffirmed his belief that with unity, God’s help, and strategic alliances, the Southeast will eventually lead the nation.
“One day, we’ll get there. But not now. And I won’t stop speaking against any attempt to mislead our people.”
Umahi also praised the South East Governors for their efforts and urged the people to rally behind them and the President as they serve their second terms.

Pastor Adeboye Bans Braids and Heavy Makeup for RCCG Clergy

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has openly criticized clergymen who wear braided hair and clergywomen who use false eyelashes and heavy makeup. During the church’s recent annual convention, he announced that these trends among church workers would no longer be accepted.
“In Yorubaland, the only men who braid their hair are Sango priests, the god of thunder,” Adeboye remarked. “Some say this is a new age, and we must adapt to modern trends, but not in this mission. Even after I’m gone, this will not be allowed.”
He made it clear that any pastor, particularly female pastors, who appears overly made up like a Nollywood star would be removed from the altar. “You may not like it, but if you are my children, you can’t defy me. Real men don’t wear makeup because they believe God made no mistakes in their creation.”
Adeboye further questioned the use of false nails, stating, “When you begin to fix false nails, I wonder what you are trying to achieve. If God wanted to make you a bird, He would have given you false nails and eyelashes.”
He urged those who take pleasure in unconventional appearances to repent and embrace modesty. “You can quote me on this: If anyone questions why you are making these changes, tell them, ‘Daddy GO said so,'” he concluded.
