President Bola Tinubu was on Sunday received at the Gateway International Airport, Iperu, by Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun, Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum and Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, alongside other South-West governors.

The irony is haunting; they flee the very system they were elected to fix but refused to do so. Former President Muhammadu Buhari of blessed memory, between 2015 and 2023, became the symbol of Nigeria’s elite medical tourism culture. He was reported to have spent over 200 days abroad for treatment, mainly in London, during his time in office.

Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) and four concerned Nigerians have filed a lawsuit against the government of President Bola Tinubu over “the failure to publish the report of the forensic audit carried out on the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) which allegedly indicts high-ranking officials and politicians over missing N6 trillion from the commission between 2001 and 2019.”

Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State’s threat against the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, in the 2023 polls, Mr Peter Obi, is generating backlash, with many describing the governor’s comment as politiccal pettiness.
