It is obvious that some Nigerians don’t see anything good about the country; they cannot bear to hear any good thing about the president and would go just to any length to show that the country is headed downhill

The opposition should should insist on an inclusive government that takes every part of the country as its constituency; the president should make deliberate effort to reach out to sections of the country that either did not vote for him or are opposed to his government

Whatever are the contents of the files, how would they impact or have impacted the outcome of that election that was held in Nigeria?

After the matter had generated far more heat than light and was being overtaken by other events, then did Peter Obi jump into the fray with a so-called world press conference at which he sermonised about the need for the president to re-introduce himself to Nigerians. 

What we should be asking ourselves or should worry all of us as Nigerians is, at what point Tinubu’s opponents in the 2023 election would stop and allow him to do the bit he can as president at a time of unprecedented economic, political and security crises?

The conspiracy of silence around the sharing of the subsidy savings was such that neither the Federal Government nor the organised labour asked any questions of the state governors about what they have been doing with the money given their states

What’s the justification for such payment for a job that lasted eight years while Nigerians with more than 35 years of service are paid a few hundreds of thousand naira for a lifetime of service

THE Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, PEPT, has given its final word on the presidential election conducted on February 25 after three anxious months. Its word for the petitioners, that is the opposition parties that contested the outcome of that election, has been damning. The five judges who sat on and made pronouncement over this case […]

The dethroned Bongo in his embroidered tunic spoke from a place of fear, confusion and crippling anxiety. It’s not a sight befitting a leader, especially one like Ali Bongo that had held his country and the people of Gabon literally by the throat for nearly one and a half decades.

It was just that the effect of it was very minimal compared to the amount we are told went into sustaining the oil subsidy bogey. The best part of the subsidy money went into the pockets and bank accounts of shadowy players in the oil sector, including oil marketers that are too quick to make Nigerians groan by their Shylock-like ways. 

PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu on Monday 21st August swore into office 45 ministers after an eleventh-hour reassignment of portfolios to four of them. Gboyega Oyetola of the Ministry of Transport, Abubakar Momoh of the Ministry of Youth and Bunmi Tunji-Ojo of the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy were respectively reassigned to the Ministry of Marine […]

THIS  column last week supported the overwhelming views of Nigerians that the Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration should have nothing to do with any kind of direct military intervention in the affairs of Niger under the Abdourahamane Tchiani-led junta. That rejection of force in the restoration of democratic order in Niger was based on the pragmatic […]

THE deadline given by the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, to the military junta that recently usurped power in Niger to restore the democratic order in that country or be forcefully removed has come and gone. But as far as many Nigerians are concerned, that deadline should have been dead on arrival and […]

Everyone and every organisation with a stake in the country ought to rise to the occasion and engage the present policy makers on the way forward; this is not the time for unnecessary posturing and exhibition of bias towards particular candidates in the name of activism
