The attention of the leadership of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Lagos State Chapter, has been drawn to a misleading and malicious publication currently circulating online under the title: “A Call For An Immediate Vote of No Confidence on the Failed Leadership of NDC Lagos.” Ordinarily, the party would not dignify baseless propaganda and politically motivated attacks with a response. However, in the interest of our members, aspirants, supporters, and the general public, it has become necessary to set the record straight and correct the false narratives deliberately being spread to create confusion and disunity within the party. First, we categorically reject the false allegations of extortion, exploitation, and coercion against the leadership of NDC Lagos State. At no point were aspirants forced or compelled to make any unofficial payments.

Football has once again reminded the world that experience, tactical discipline, and consistency still matter at the highest level of the game.
Spanish manager Unai Emery has further cemented his legendary status in European football after guiding Aston Villa to a commanding 3-0 victory over SC Freiburg in the Europa League final.
The triumph did not only deliver major silverware to Aston Villa, it also marked an extraordinary personal achievement for Emery, who has now won the Europa League title five times in his managerial career — a record that continues to separate him from many modern coaches.
For years, Unai Emery has built a reputation as one of Europe’s most effective knockout competition managers. From his dominant era with Sevilla FC to later successes with Villarreal CF, the Spaniard has repeatedly shown a unique ability to navigate difficult European nights with tactical precision and mental strength.
His arrival at Aston Villa transformed the club’s ambition. What once looked like a side fighting merely for league stability gradually evolved into a disciplined, fearless team capable of competing with Europe’s elite.
Against Freiburg, Villa looked organized, confident, and ruthless. The players executed Emery’s game plan with maturity, controlling key moments of the match and punishing their opponents clinically.
Winning a fifth Europa League trophy is not luck. It is a reflection of managerial intelligence, adaptability, and a deep understanding of European football culture.
At a time when football conversations are often dominated by glamorous spending and superstar narratives, Emery’s journey continues to prove that structure, preparation, and tactical identity remain powerful weapons.
For Aston Villa supporters, this is more than just a trophy. It is a statement that the club has returned to the European spotlight under a manager who understands exactly how to win on the continental stage.
And for Unai Emery, the message is becoming impossible to ignore: when it comes to the Europa League, few managers in football history have ever done it better.
