Akwa Ibom State commissioner for Special Duties, Comrade Ini Ememobong, has resigned his appointment from the cabinet of Governor Umoh Eno.

The State Governor on Friday officially decamped from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Last week Governor Eno had directed all his political appointees to move to APC with him, saying those who are not ready to comply with the directive should resign.

Comrade Ememobong said his decision to resign his appointment was in compliance with the Governor’s wishes as he cannot leave the PDP.

“Today, I have tendered my resignation to the Governor in compliance with his directive that his appointees who are unwilling to join him on the political journey to the APC should resign.

“While I cannot question or fault the Governor’s personal decision, I am unable to join in that sojourn. My decision is borne out of my belief in politics with principles and my long-standing opposition to that political platform.

“Ipso facto, based on my personal conviction, I will be unable to join the All Progressives Congress.

“I hereby most respectfully tender my resignation as Honourable Commissioner for Special Duties and Ibom Deep Sea Port and a member of the State Executive Council,” Ememobong wrote

Elon Musk suffered a staggering $34 billion drop in his net worth on Thursday, June 5, marking one of the most significant single-day losses in his personal fortune, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

The plunge came after a volatile exchange with former President Donald Trump, fueled by a series of controversial tweets from the Tesla and SpaceX CEO.

Musk had posted claims linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein and hinted that Trump played a major role in securing the 2024 presidential victory. The accusations sparked immediate backlash from Trump, who retaliated by threatening to revoke federal contracts with Musk’s companies.

He also warned of removing the electric vehicle (EV) tax credit—introduced under President Biden’s 2022 Inflation Reduction Act—which has been a significant financial incentive for Tesla customers, offering up to $7,500 off EV purchases.

In a sharp response to Trump’s threat, Musk declared he would decommission SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft.

“This is an unfortunate episode from Elon, who is unhappy with the One Big Beautiful Bill because it does not include the policies he wanted,” said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt in response to Business Insider’s inquiry regarding Musk’s Epstein-related tweet.

“The President is focused on passing this historic piece of legislation and making our country great again.”

The fallout sent Tesla shares tumbling more than 14%, resulting in an estimated $138 billion loss in market capitalization. Bloomberg estimates that $34 billion of that decline came directly from Musk’s personal holdings.

This isn’t the first time Musk’s tweets have had financial consequences. In November 2021, he ran a Twitter poll asking if he should sell 10% of his Tesla stock. Over 57% of 3.5 million participants voted “yes,” prompting a 16% drop in Tesla shares that week and wiping out $50 billion from Musk’s net worth.

Tobi Adeboyega, a popular Nigerian pastor and founder of the Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church (SPAC Nation), now, the Nxtion Family has announced his battle with cancer.

Speaking during a pre-recorded sermon with his congregation on Thursday, Adeboyega announced that he had just come out of surgery.

He told his church members virtually, “I was diagnosed with cancer. Yes, you heard me right. I’ve been dealing with cancer for the past few months or even more. I just had a major surgery, that’s why I am not there today.”

“I have just fought the battle and I feel the verdict to continue live was given to me by God for a new level, for a new stage,” the pastor said.

Adegboyega further explained that he believes that his battle and survival are a testament to his purpose to win.

In addition, he made a donation of £100,000 to cancer awareness and treatment for the young population battling the deadly disease.

Adegboyega who focuses on ministering to youths is well known for his luxurious lifestyle.

In 2022, the United Kingdom ordered the SPAC Nation Church to shut down over allegations of failure to properly account for the church’s financial operations.

The church was accused of failing to account for more than £1.87 million in expenses it made.
