The Hausa–Fulani Group of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Jos North has announced the resolution of all internal differences within its ranks, marking what it described as a new era of unity, cooperation, and progress.
In a communiqué issued on Monday, October 28, 2025, and signed by the PDP Hausa–Fulani Reconciliation Committee, the group said the decision followed a series of constructive engagements among stakeholders aimed at restoring harmony and strengthening the party’s structure in the local government area.
The statement commended the immediate past State Chairman of the PDP, Hon. Chris Adakuchili Hassan, and the outgoing State Executive Committee for their “patriotic stewardship and sacrifice” in reclaiming power for the PDP during the 2023 general elections. The group described their leadership as resilient and strategic, noting that it served as an inspiration to party members across Plateau State.
While congratulating the newly elected State Executive Committee led by Hon. Raymond Dabo, the group expressed confidence in his ability to provide visionary leadership and consolidate the party’s grassroots base. They described Dabo as a “seasoned strategist and experienced politician” capable of building on the achievements of his predecessors.
The communiqué also denounced what it termed a “malicious campaign of calumny” by opposition elements who have falsely alleged that Hon. Dabo is a convicted individual. The group clarified that Dabo had been “duly charged, cleared, and acquitted by a competent court of law,” urging members to disregard the claims and remain focused on strengthening the PDP.
Reaffirming their loyalty to the PDP and its ideals, the group emphasized that the reconciliation process symbolized a renewed commitment to unity, trust, and collective responsibility. They extended appreciation to elders, mediators, and the reconciliation committee members for their role in facilitating dialogue and restoring peace within the fold.
The Hausa–Fulani PDP Group also reaffirmed its support for the administration of Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, commending his “people-oriented leadership and commitment to peace, unity, and development in Plateau State.”
“With renewed energy and shared purpose, we stand united to support the PDP and ensure its triumph in all forthcoming political engagements and elections for the benefit of our people and our beloved Plateau State,” the statement concluded.

BY NKECHI NAECHE-ESEZOBOR—Sovereign Trust Insurance Plc and Guinea Insurance Plc are among seven additional underwriting firms officially cleared and verified by the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) as compliant with the Minimum Capital Requirements stipulated under the Nigerian Insurance Industry Reform Act (NIIRA) 2025.
This final batch of approvals formally completes the nation’s insurance recapitalization exercise, bringing the total roster of fully capitalized operators in Nigeria to 48 insurance companies and two reinsurance companies.
Singer and actress Selena Gomez and her mother are being sued over their mental health startup, Wondermind. The plaintiffs in the lawsuit say they invested nearly $1.2 million in the startup, and are accusing Gomez of securities fraud and breach of contract.
They allege that the startup failed to deliver on its commitments without informing investors, and Gomez failed to market the startup after promising to do so. The news was first reported by Forbes.
Wondermind launched in 2021 and aimed to offer daily mental health resources to users. The lawsuit alleges that investors were unaware of the company’s troubles until a September 2025 story from The Cut uncovered them.
“Gomez purported to sign a contract obligating her to perform and then ignored it,” the complaint reads. “The partnerships did not exist. The initiatives never materialized. The app was never built. And for three years, while the Company quietly collapsed around them, not one of its founders, officers, or directors said a word to the investors whose money was funding the collapse.”
The investors allege that Gomez and Wondermind misrepresented the company’s finances and overstated the extent of Gomez’s involvement. The plaintiffs are seeking to recover their investments and legal fees.
Wondermind did not respond to our request for comment.
