Governor Uba Sani has officially launched the 2025 Fertilizer Distribution Exercise in Kaduna State, distributing 400 trucks of fertilizer to 100,000 smallholder farmers. The well-attended event at Murtala Square in Kaduna reaffirmed the administration's commitment to inclusive development, food security, and rural prosperity. Governor Uba Sani has now distributed over 900 trucks of fertilizer to 220,000 smallholder farmers, a testament to Kaduna's position as a leading state in Nigeria in supporting its farming population. Do you concur that leadership is the primary issue facing Africa, and how do you evaluate Governor Uba Sani's administration in comparison to El-Rufai's?

*TOPIC: DRINK WATER FROM YOUR OWN WELL.*(Series 7)

*Scripture Reading:* Proverbs 6:27-29

*"Can a man take fire to his chest And his clothes not be burned? Or can a man walk on hot coals And his feet not be scorched? So is the one who goes in to his neighbor’s wife; Whoever touches her will not be found innocent or go unpunished."*(AMP)

Drinking water from another well is engaging in sexual activity with a person who is not one’s partner in a committed partnership, such as a marriage. Adultery is one of the Ten Commandments and is seen as a sin in Christianity and those who practice it will face punishment from God and will not have access to eternal life. *Christian doctrine holds that Adultery and fornication are forbidden and is against God’s design for marriage and might result in spiritual death.*

Let consider the Spiritual consequences of drinking water from another well (Adultery and fornication):

*1) Damaged Relationship with God and other people:* God kicks against Adultery in exodus 20:14, which says,  *”you shall not commit adultery.”* And When you go against this great commandment as youth fornicating around or married by involving in sexual sin with other people’s partners, you will have a damaged relationship with God because God does not tolerate sin.

Spiritual repercussions such as losing closeness to God and a reduction in spiritual strength and authority may result from this. Also, when an adulterer or fornicators engages in sexual immorality, he also sins against other people. *The Christian is expected to provide an example for the world to follow, yet if he commits adultery or fornication, he or she fails miserably and becomes bad influence in the society.*

Aside from a damaged relationship with God, such person will have issues with other people because when you sleep with their husband or wife, you steal from them, and you can attract physical or emotional abuse. Such can't escape both physical and emotional abuse. Meditate on today's Scripture again. (Proverbs 6: 27-29). *God has given him or her the responsibility of telling the lost about Jesus, but how will he or she be able to do so if he or she has committed adultery? Any christian that engages in adultery and fornication has lost his or her strength in God.* To be continue tomorrow morning by God's Grace. Good morning and do have a fruitful AUGUST, peace.

*Prayer point:* I refuse to bring shame to the name of the Lord and to the body of Christ, I will not be devil end time instrument in Jesus Christ name. Amen!

INEC Urges FOSIECON To Improve Local Govt Elections

By Nathaniel Gana and Dominic James

Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, has urged the State Independent Electoral Commissions (SIECs) to strive to conduct local government elections in the manner that INEC conducts the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Area Council Elections.

Prof. Yakubu made the call on Tuesday, 31st July 2025, during a courtesy visit by a delegation of the Forum of State Independent Electoral Commissions of Nigeria (FOSIECON), led by its Chairman, Hon. Mamman Nda Eri.

He described local government elections and local government areas as the foundation of credible elections and development, just as he expressed satisfaction over the emergence of elected local government councils in all states of the federation. But Prof Yakubu expressed reservations about the quality of the local government elections.

He said: “Your role is significant to credible elections in Nigeria. Local government elections, just like local government areas, are the foundation, not only of credible elections, but also of development, and we will continue to partner with you in this regard. I am glad to note that virtually all the States of the Federation now have elected local government councils.

“But you will agree with me that the challenge is the quality of the elections. I hope there will be an opportunity for us to discuss how INEC can partner with the SIECs to continue to improve the quality of these elections. We share responsibility with the SIECs on the conduct of local government elections. The best cooperation that can exist between INEC and the SIECs is for the SIECs to strive to conduct local government elections in the manner that INEC has done in the FCT.”

He continued: “As you know, the FCT is the only part of the country where there has never been a caretaker committee in the six area councils. Elections have been conducted regularly, initially for a period of three years, but with the amendment to the Electoral Act, the tenure has been streamlined to four years, just like the executive and legislative elections conducted by INEC. The elections are held regularly, and no one party has ever won all the elections in the FCT. And we have functional offices in all six area councils in the FCT. And there is, equally, the importance of planning in the conduct of elections.”

Explaining further, the INEC Chairman said while the next FCT area council election would take place next year, the Commission had earlier this year released the Timetable and Schedule of Activities over 360 days ahead of the election as provided by law.

His words: “It is on this note that I would like to seize this opportunity to draw your attention to the judgment of the Supreme Court, which the Chairman of FOSIECON alluded to on the conduct of local government elections. Conducting local government elections without serving the mandatory statutory notice long before the election contravenes the judgment of the Supreme Court.

“Recent announcement by a state electoral commission, which gives, in effect, 21 days’ notice, is not only a violation of the law and the subsisting judgment of the Supreme Court, it is also a practical problem. Within 21 days, how do you expect political parties to conduct primaries, nominate candidates, organise a campaign, and for the Electoral Commission to conduct voter education, recruit and train ad hoc staff, manage logistics, and organise security for the election? It is practically impossible to do so within 21 days. Therefore, as the umbrella body of all state electoral commissions, carry this message to your members about the importance of complying with statutory timelines in the conduct of local government elections.”

Speaking earlier, the Chairman of FOSIECON, Hon. Mamman Eri, said the delegation embarked on the visit to introduce the newly inaugurated national executive formally and to foster the enduring partnership between INEC and FOSIECON. He asked for the Commission’s support in the areas of technical assistance, capacity building and knowledge sharing.

He also talked about the recent Supreme Court judgement that annulled the Rivers State local government election. “It is clear that most of the states have their laws that have been enacted and passed by the House of Assemblies,” he stated. “The fact remains that most of us have this issue of 90-day notice for election. And from all indications, one of the things that the Supreme Court judgment hammered on is the issue of 360 days.

“How do we marry this with our state laws and the laws made by the National Assembly for the FCT? And from that judgment, we learned that the procedure that INEC uses is the same procedure that is expected to be used for local government elections.

*TOPIC: DRINK WATER FROM YOUR OWN WELL.*(Series 5)

*Scripture Reading:* Titus 1:15-16

*"To the pure, all things are pure; but to the corrupt and unbelieving, nothing is pure; both their mind and their conscience are corrupted. They profess to know God [to recognize and be acquainted with Him], but by their actions they deny and disown Him. They are detestable and disobedient and worthless for good work of any kind."*(AMP)

Drinking water from another person's well (going after a strange woman/man) can be fun and beautiful in its beginnings; however, its fruits will always be bitter consequences for those who get involved in this destructive lie. And sometimes, the person involved might not be able to live to tell the story. I will be sharing with you few major causes of adultery and fornication:

*1) The corruption of the soul:* “But a man who commits adultery has no sense; whoever does so destroys himself.” Proverbs 6:32.

The person who commits adultery and fornicate around finds pleasure in it, and this is due to contaminated of his soul by evil; his thoughts are insane and wrong with a turbulence of emotions that control him.

“Corrupting the soul” has to do with rotting, destroying, damaging, attacking, upsetting; The person whose soul is corrupted never acts in the right way, but the evil that is inside him is what leads him to sin. And that's why our today's scripture says; *To the pure, everything is pure but to the corrupt, everything is evil.*

*2) Spiritual Blindness:* Proverbs 6:20 says; *“Why, my son, be intoxicated with another man’s wife? Why embrace the bosom of a wayward woman?”* Adultery always begins as an adventure; During the first stage, everything seems to be great and the person believes that he has achieved what is really going to satisfy him; however, this sin blinds him and stop him from seeing the serious error in which he is.

The adulterous person always ends up losing. If discovered, trust is lost and also there might be the case that the person can also lose his family. What begins as a simple “slip” or “vent” as many call it, could end up into a chaos. *When a person is spiritually blind, everything becomes right. Let such person sees black he/she will argue to be white.* To be continue tomorrow morning by God's Grace. Good morning and do have a great day, peace.

*Prayer point:* Lord Jesus, I plead by mercy that you deliver me from Spiritual blindness, interrupt my life in Jesus Christ name. Amen!
