THE RESURRECTION OF
BCC LIONS, GBOKO 

As part of efforts to deliver on his mandate of repositioning football in Benue State, the Chairman, Benue State Football Association (BAFA), Barr Paul Edeh, during the 2023 general congress of the association at Eyah Hotel and Suites in Makurdi, constituted a team headed by Mr. Dominic Iorfa to work assiduously to ensure that, BCC Lions Football Club of Gboko is revamped to complement the role of Lobi Stars as well as reduce the pressure on the only elite club in the state. 

Mr Edeh in a remark called for total support and commitment among football stakeholders in the state that would create the needed atmosphere for him to implement policies and programs that would revive grassroots football, and revamp BCC Lions of Gboko among other issues to return glory days of football in the State.  

According to the BAFA boss, it has become pertinent to reduce pressure on Lobi Stars which is the only  Club in the state and the only way to do that is to revamp the moribund club for the benefit of talented youths and coaches in the State. He further maintained that the team is made up of legends as well as football administrators who are versatile with football knowledge that would contribute positively towards achieving the stated goal. 

Responding on behalf of the committee members, Mr Iorfa thanked the Association for finding them worthy among many to carry out the task, saying football has gone scientific, adding that, they would key into the Barr  Edeh-led administration to help him succeed on his tenure.  

Mr .Iorfa who is the Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lobi Stars as well as the NPFL Board Member maintained that, his team will work together to deliver on the mandate that would see BCC Lion Football revamped for the good of the talented youths to develop their talents as well as coaches for national development. 

The committee members were immediately sworn in by the Director of Sports, Dr. Philip Nongo with a charge to work in line with the term of reference to deliver on the trust vested in them.  

The committee members are Mr Domnic Iorfa as Chairman and Abdul Sule as Vice Chairman. Others are Felix Pilakyah, Charles Iortyom,  Emma Abah,  Barr Moses Ukpo, and Moses Kpakor as members, while Iorgulum Malu is to serve as Secretary.

LIST OF APPROVED VISITORS TO SGF'S RESIDENCE; FALSE AND SHOULD BE DISREGARDED Tuesday, April 8, 2025 It has come to the attention of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) His Excellency Senator George Akume, that there is an exclusive list making the rounds in the social media of persons approved who may be welcome at his Abuja residence. His Excellency the SGF urges the general public to discountenance the said list as a fabrication from the author's imagination which has nothing to do with him whatsoever. The SGF works for the entire nation, not just Benue State. He enjoins everyone to recall that as the public servant he has been all through his life, his residence anywhere and office alike have always been open to all manner and class of persons who have a reason and need to visit there. He says the doors to his home and office remain open to all persons whose intentions are genuine, as has always been the norm, and there is no exclusive list o...

AN OPEN LETTER TO ALHAJI ATIKU ABUBAKAR: THE CASE OF GOING TO EQUITY WITHOUT CLEAN HANDS FROM: DANJUMA ISAIAH My attention as a Public Affairs Commentator and Citizen of Wukari in Taraba State has been invited to various invectives of unprecedented dimension directed at His Excellency, Senator Godswill Akpabio, GCON by my brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar ostensibly to give oxygen to resurrect his endless political odyssey and sordid presidential ambition. I am weighing into this public narrative to interrogate various disruptions triggered by some notable politicians like Atiku Abubakar in our national life. It is hardly possible to build anything out of frustration and bitterness. This is sadly the predicament of a one-time Vice President, Atiku Abubakar who is on course to being enlisted in the Guinness Book of Records, as the only person globally, who has unsuccessfully contested for President for six times spanning 33 years. These bitterness and frustration have beclouded his reasoni...

CHIEF OYEGUN OFFICIALLY JOINS ADC 16th July, 2025 A former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), John Odigie-Oyegun, has officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Oyegun, a former Edo State Governor, received the membership card of his new party on Tuesday. His membership card was handed to him by the party’s state chairman, Kennedy Odion, after he registered with the ADC in Benin city, the Edo State capital. Speaking at the presentation, Odion said the former APC national chairman is not new to the formation of political coalitions. He recalled Oyegun’s involvement with the formation of a coalition that led to the emergence of the APC in 2013 that eventually ousted the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015. He said: “He has put together what is called a coalition before, and he succeeded. So, in mathematics, once you understand the formula, the answer is in view. So, he understands how he did it before, ...
