Hon. Dachung Musa Bagos the House of Representative Member (PDP), Plateau State,  has flagged off his re-election campaign, promising to improve security, end poverty, and sponsor bills that will ensure the sustenance of improved welfare if voted back to the green Chambers.

Bagos, who seeks a return in the 2023 general elections, said among his many achievements so far as a lawmaker, he will not relent in pressing for a better legislature that will further improve the living standard of his people.

Speaking on Tuesday in his home town in Vwang, Jos South local government area of the State, Bagos equally appealed to his people to also vote all PDP candidates from top to bottom, laying special emphasis on the party’s governorship candidate, Barr. Caleb Mutfwang.

He said if all PDP aspirants are all elected in the forthcoming elections, nothing short of development should be expected in the 17 LGAs of the State.

He boasted that no political party however will defeat the PDP in Jos South and in his village in Vwang, but equally appealed to electorates who have not collected their permanent voters card (PVC) to hurriedly do so.

According to him: “We are confident that with your support PDP will win the 2023 elections, and we will continue to work in the interest of our people. We will continue to speak in defense of our people because they are our priority”.

“I want to be assured that there is no party in Vwang, my home town except the PDP. If we elect Barr. Mutfwang as the Governor, he will construct our roads, end insecurity, provide electricity, build schools, hospitals and also end poverty in our society”, he said.

Also in his address, the State PDP Chairman, Hon. Chris Hassan thanked the people of Vwang and the entire Jos South for turning out for the flag-off campaign.

Hassan described Vwang and Jos South as the stronghold of the PDP in the State, saying that Plateau people are ready to return PDP to power to rescue the country and restore the economy.

“We will restore the economy and there will be jobs for the teeming youths of this State; we need your support to restore the country. PDP will not disappoint you, he said.

However, while commissioning a multi-million naira community hall and Police post, constructed by Bagos, the governorship candidate, Muftwang, urged the people to also vote for the Presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar, and all PDP candidates in the interest of peace, unity, and progress in Nigeria.

“Please go and collect your voter’s card from INEC and vote to return PDP to power in 2023. If you vote for me as Governor and all PDP candidates contesting for various offices, we will restore the State back to its lost glory”, Muftwang said.

Nigeria may have missed out on the FIFA World Cup, but the country’s presence is still being felt through players of Nigerian descent competing for other nations.

One of those players is Tani Oluwaseyi, who was part of a historic night as Canada dismantled Qatar 6-0 to register their first-ever FIFA World Cup victory.

Canada were dominant from the opening whistle at BC Place and took the lead in the 17th minute when veteran striker Cyle Larin found the back of the net once again.

The Canadians doubled their advantage in the 29th minute through Jonathan David, before Qatar’s task became even more difficult two minutes later after Homam Elamin was shown a red card, reducing the Asian side to 10 men.

Jonathan David grabbed his second goal in first-half stoppage time after reacting quickest to a rebound following a saved header from Larin, sending Canada into the break with a comfortable 3-0 lead.

Canada’s momentum continued after halftime despite concerns over midfielder Ismaël Koné, who suffered an injury following a challenge from Assim Madibo. The Qatari midfielder was sent off, leaving his side with just nine men.

Inspired by their dominance, Canada extended their advantage in the 64th minute when Nathan Saliba curled home a brilliant free-kick, with players dedicating the goal to the injured Koné.

For Nigerian fans, the spotlight then shifted to Tani Oluwaseyi.

The Nigerian-born striker was introduced in the 71st minute by head coach Jesse Marsch, replacing Ali Ahmed as Canada continued their march toward a memorable victory.

Just four minutes later, Canada made it 5-0 after pressure from substitute Jacob Shaffelburg forced a Qatar defensive error.

Jonathan David then completed his hat-trick in second-half stoppage time to seal an emphatic 6-0 triumph.

While Nigeria’s absence from the World Cup remains a disappointment, Oluwaseyi’s participation offers a reminder of the country’s enormous football influence beyond its borders.

Though he did not get on the scoresheet, the forward proudly represented Nigeria’s football heritage on the biggest stage, giving supporters back home a player to rally behind.

Canada’s victory was not only historic; it also showcased how players with Nigerian roots continue to shape international football, even when the Super Eagles themselves are not part of the tournament.

Senate Clears Customs of ₦62.2BN Under-remittance Allegation

BY JAMES OBIOMA—The Senate Public Accounts Committee (SPAC) has officially cleared the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) of a N62.2 billion under-remittance allegation originally raised by the Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation in its 2019 audit report.

The clearance followed an investigative session on Tuesday, 16 June 2026, during which the Comptroller-General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, successfully defended the Service by proving that the alleged shortfall was a misclassification of revenue by auditors.

The original query, read by a representative of the Auditor-General under the direction of SPAC Chairman, Senator Ibrahim Dankwambo, had alleged that out of N691.242 billion generated by Customs in 2017, only N629.23 billion reached the Federation Account, leaving a balance of N62.2 billion.

Defending the Service’s financial integrity, CG Adeniyi explained that the multi-billion naira deficit was completely non-existent.

“The under-remittance of N62.2 billion levelled against Customs in the 2019 audit report was wrongly arrived at through misclassification of levies collected,” Adeniyi stated. “While most of the levies are to be collected and remitted into the federation account, others like the ones on local production of wheat, textiles and wines, etc do not go into the federation account, the totality of which accounted for the alleged unremitted N62.2 billion.”

Following identical, convincing clarifications on the first three major queries, a member of the committee, Senator Babangida Hussaini, wondered why the issues had not been ironed out sooner. He noted that as a former civil servant, such straightforward technicalities should have been resolved at the preliminary audit level rather than escalating to a full Senate investigation.
