Jack-Rich expresses shock over distasteful, unsubstantiated media publication
Mr Tein Jack-Rich, the President of Belema Oil Producing Limited, and former presidential aspirant, under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has expressed shock over a recent publication, credited to a former aide to Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan.
Jack-Rich described the report as provocative, malicious, preposterous, unwarranted, distasteful, and unsubstantiated publication by politically sponsored agents.
The online media had reported that a certain Mr Jackson Ude, had on his Twitter handle, accused Jack-Rich of allowing his wife, Elizabeth to have sexual relationship with Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Tinubu.
Ude also alleged that the philanthropist had bribed the Chief of Staff to Tinubu, Femi Gbajabiamila, with N500 million so he could be made a minister.
But in a swift reaction, Jack-Rich expressed disbelieve that there still existed humans who could stoop so low to smear a fellow human just to score cheap political gains.
“Dear fellow Nigerians, the attention of the family of Mr. Tein T.S. Jack-Rich CON, has been drawn to the recent provocative, malicious, preposterous, unwarranted, distasteful, and unsubstantiated publication by politically sponsored agents within the past two days, making several spurious allegations against the person and family of Jack-Rich, all with the intention of maligning his name and reputation.
“It is also sad that this is with the aim of gaining cheap political relevance within the emerging political space.
“On behalf of the family, we wish to state unequivocally clear and with all sense of responsibility that the entirety of the allegations are not only unfounded and childish, but also depicts the nature and character of the persons and evil elements behind them; who are also well known by their political brigandage and desperation for political relevance.
“We are utterly shocked, that in their attempt to tarnish the image and reputation of Mr. Jack-Rich and his family, some of these political desperados will condescend so low to the extent of making statements that not only attack his personality, but also extending same to the hallowed and revered office of the Chief of Staff to the President, thereby trying so hard to smear his own reputation and by extension, that of the Presidency.
“Let it be noted that this is not the first time the publisher of these falsehoods had tried to malign Mr. Jack-Rich with similar stories, which has become his trademark.
“A similar publication was also made in 2021 by the same Jackson Ude, alleging that Jack-Rich was involved in money laundering activities for former President Muhammadu Buhari.
“This is because Jackson Ude’s pay masters have seen that Jack-Rich is a political actor coming in to add value to national good. Till today, all claims remain unsubstantiated, and Jackson Ude and his political cohorts remain faceless and untraceable.
“Again, the jobless and faceless Jackson Ude has resurfaced with a similar story and narrative, as orchestrated by his sponsors.’’
The humble and soft spoken Jack-Rich’s media team said it had taken time to read al the online spurious publications, and wished to state for the records that the allegation of bribery against him was not only laughable and untrue, but also baseless and spuriously unfounded.
“As a senior stakeholder in the ruling Party, the APC where he contested for the presidential primaries and lost to our incumbent President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“And having worked assiduously to help his great party to win the elections, Mr. Tein Jack-Rich, has all it takes to merit an appointment into any office as would be deemed fit by our dear President, and so does not need to bribe anyone in the party he jointly built with others.
According to the team, the fact is that Jack-Rich is a worthy APC party-man, who has never been a member of any political party in history.
“His first political journey started with APC in 2014, and has remained faithful since then till date, despite the headwinds and tail winds of politics.
“Those who called APC names, those who called Jack-Rich names for following APC yesterday, those who didn’t see anything good in APC, have suddenly woken from their sleep, seen wealth in APC, hence this vociferous campaign of calumny against the family of a great national promoter.
The team therefore said, alleging that Jack-Rich bribed or was planning to bribe anyone for ministerial appointment, is just another figment of the convoluted imagination of persons who see him as a major obstacle to their desperate dreams, aspirations, and political desperation for survival because they have lost their own political roots.
“Let it be re-emphasised here again that Tein Jack-Rich did not, will not, and will never need to bribe anyone for any political appointment in a party he just recently served as the Vice-Chairman, Finance Committee, of the Presidential Campaign, that his party won.
“So, there was just no need for anyone to sponsor such a campaign of calumny and blackmail against him, except for extreme desperation.
“It is quite shameful that in their quest to derogate Jack-Rich’s personality, the sponsored publication equally made reference to his family; something so petty and quite unfounded, again,’’ it said.
The team also refuted the allegations made against Mrs Jack-Rich, describing them as all fabricated and cooked up by the author/s to satisfy his/their sponsors.
“Again, none of their convoluted lies and falsehood ever happened, and will never happen.
“Dr. Mrs. Elizabeth Jack-Rich does not lose any sleep over this fabricated falsehood. So, it is a shame on their sponsors, whose main interest is to promote cheap political commerce to wreck families, scare upcoming political actors who mean well for the country.
“We wish to further add that we are not surprised that this is coming at this point when certain political elements who feel that without them this country will not exist, are running from pillar to post to desperately gain political mileage and attention of the Presidency for one appointment or the other.
And in doing this, they are willing and ready to blackmail and destroy any perceived superior challenge on their path. Such people are by this medium displayingemployee mentality” because they are not employable.
Their interest is to fight employers like Jack-Rich who have contributed billions of dollars value to Nigeria’s economy since his ventures into business in 1998. Nigerians should watch out for such people and their cohorts.
“Let them know that this will not stop what God has already ordained to happen.’’
The team finally urged the general public to beware that these wicked political elements will stop at nothing to implement their plot of misinforming the public against Jack-Rich.
“They will even do much more in the coming days by concocting videos, voices, pictures, and technology enhanced algorithm to smear Jack-Rich and his family, all to score cheap political goals.
“The good news however, is that Nigerian people know them by their antics, their sponsors are also known because their mission is pull down all visionary leadership whose interest is good of the society
The team therefore, concluded that the oil mogul would not join issues with them any longer, either now or in the future, as it clearly refuted all the falsehood and baseless allegations, so as not to make them appear important.
“My fellow Countrymen, Tein Jack-Rich is an ardent and staunch believer in Mr. President and his shared vision of renewed hope for this great Country.
“Jack-Rich hereby uses this medium to urge all Nigerians to be steadfast and hopeful in the promise our President and Commander in Chief of the
Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu made for a greater and prosperous nation, united under God.

Suspect Dies During EFCC Sting Operation at Lekki Estate
A resident of Periwinkle Estate in Lekki Phase 1, Lagos, identified as Endurance Udeke, has died following an alleged failed attempt to evade arrest during a sting operation by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The EFCC confirmed the incident in a statement on Saturday, noting that the operation took place on November 4, 2025, and was targeted at suspected internet fraudsters within the estate.
According to the anti-graft agency, four suspects were arrested during the exercise. However, Udeke and another resident of apartment W6a reportedly attempted to escape by jumping from a four-storey building after becoming aware of the operation.
The commission said Udeke sustained fatal injuries from the fall and later died despite medical efforts to save him, while the other individual survived after receiving hospital treatment.
“Operatives of the Commission were in the estate to carry out a sting operation on November 4, 2025. The operation was smooth sailing in all the apartments, and four suspected internet fraudsters were arrested,” the EFCC statement read.
“However, Udeke and one other resident of apartment W6a got wind of the operation and tried to escape arrest by jumping down from the four-storey building.
Udeke did not survive the suicidal efforts, in spite of medical interventions made to rescue him. The other resident, however, survived after being stabilised and treated at the hospital.”
The EFCC added that there was no direct contact between its operatives and the deceased before the incident occurred. It further disclosed that the matter has been reported to the police for investigation.
“The commission is shocked at the suicidal action of the deceased. There was no contact between officers of the Commission and the deceased before the unfortunate incident. The incident has been reported to the police, which has begun an investigation,” the EFCC stated.
The agency urged the public to remain calm and cooperate with law enforcement agencies during such operations, stressing that no one with nothing to hide should fear EFCC sting operations.

Kano Residents Protest Trump’s Threat of U.S. Military Action Over Christian Killings
Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Kano State on Saturday, rallying against U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent warning of possible military action in Nigeria over alleged attacks on Christians by Islamic extremists.
The mass demonstration, organized primarily by followers of Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky under the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), saw crowds chanting anti-American slogans, waving placards, and burning U.S. flags to express outrage over what they described as a foreign attempt to interfere in Nigeria’s internal affairs.
Trump, in his November 1, 2025 speech, had vowed that the United States would “take action” if the Nigerian government failed to stop what he termed the “ongoing Christian genocide” in parts of the country.
Protesters in Kano, however, accused the American leader of bias and misinformation, arguing that Nigeria’s security crisis affects all citizens Muslims and Christians alike.
“We reject Trump’s threats. Nigeria is a sovereign nation, and we will not allow any foreign army to invade our land under the guise of religion,” said one demonstrator who joined the rally near the Kofar Nassarawa Gate in central Kano.
Security operatives were deployed to monitor the demonstration, which remained largely peaceful despite the tense rhetoric.
Nigeria’s federal government has also condemned Trump’s comments, describing his framing of the crisis as “unhelpful and misleading.” Officials maintained that ongoing military operations in the North-East and North-West are targeting all extremist elements, including Boko Haram, ISWAP, and armed bandits, without regard to religious identity.
The protest in Kano adds to growing domestic and international tensions following Trump’s remarks, which have drawn mixed reactions from religious groups and human rights organizations around the world.

Adeboye to Tinubu: Give Security Chiefs 90 Days to End Terrorism or Sack Them
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has finally spoken on the ongoing controversy surrounding alleged genocidal attacks against Christians in Nigeria and the reported plans by the United States to take military action against the country.
For weeks, Christian leaders had faced public criticism for their perceived silence amid the global outcry following US President Donald Trump’s warning and the subsequent revelation of a possible military intervention.
In a newly released video clip from one of the church’s recent programmes, Pastor Adeboye urged President Bola Tinubu’s administration to act swiftly, diplomatically, and strategically to prevent escalation.
He said:
“My children, if I were asked to make suggestions, I will say quietly to our government, move fast, move diplomatically, move wisely.
Find a way to convince the president of America to please delay his actions for about 100 days. And then come home and say to our security chiefs: get rid of these terrorists within 90 days, or resign.”
Adeboye further advised the President to give firm directives to the nation’s security heads to eliminate not only terrorists but also their sponsors, regardless of their influence.
“Make it clear to them that they are not only to eliminate the terrorists, they should eliminate their sponsors no matter how influential,” he added.
The respected cleric also warned that Nigeria must not rely on foreign allies should a conflict erupt, stressing that “if the US should attack us, China is not coming to defend us, Russia won’t defend us.”
Adeboye’s statement comes amid intensifying diplomatic discussions between Abuja and Washington following reports of a contingency military plan by the US Africa Command (AFRICOM).
