“The president has told us several times the economy is turning the corner. We now know that the economy has turned the corner,” Idris said.

“Well, we don’t know what went wrong, but what is clear is that this is not about law, it’s not about crime and punishment, it’s politics.

The Federal High Court in Abuja has okayed hearing a suit seeking to compel President Bola Tinubu to provide maximum security to the presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Party (NDP), Mr Peter Obi, ahead of the 2027 general elections.

According to the statement, governance is not a public relations exercise and cannot be measured by diplomatic soundbites or claimed commendations but by the safety of citizens and the government’s ability to protect them from harm. It added that until that constitutional obligation is fulfilled, “every celebration of external praise rings hollow”.

“By May 2023, about 27 states were owing salaries; they couldn’t pay workers, but today, all states and local governments are able to pay”

“The Bola Tinubu that was governor is not the one that is president today. He’s tired. He should be allowed to retire in peace and then go home,” he said.

President Bola Tinubu has appointed Dr. Wasiu Olanrewaju-Smart as special adviser to the president on National Assembly matters—House of Representatives.

“We want to be the manpower supplier of the world. We need to produce competent, skilled, and educated young Nigerians who will drive our economy, contribute to Africa’s growth, and compete successfully across the world,” the minister said.

“BD, you know my ambition to be president. But the way the country is going, the primary goal is to get rid of PDP. I will defer my ambition, put it aside until we achieve this goal,” Lawal quoted Tinubu as saying.

“This naturally raises two unavoidable questions. First, why is a government enjoying such an extraordinary oil windfall borrowing at almost twice last year’s pace as though the nation were in financial distress? Second, where is the money?” he queried.

President Bola Tinubu has felicitated the Minister of Works, David Umahi, on the occasion of his 63rd birthday, praising his dedication to delivering lasting infrastructure projects across Nigeria.

“I have been through that journey; I’m home now, and I can tell you there’s nowhere like home. Some people built the society where you are; they had their hands on their plough, and their focus was to develop their nation and their continent.”

“President Tinubu owes Nigerians an unreserved apology for presiding over this unprecedented collapse of public accountability. If he cannot immediately restore public confidence through a genuinely independent investigation and ensure that everyone responsible is held to account, then he has forfeited the moral authority to continue in office. The honourable course is simple: apologise to Nigerians and resign,” he declared.

President Bola Tinubu says the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, is changing for the better under the leadership of Nyesom Wike as its minister, 50 years after creation.

The announcement adds to a growing list of roads, buildings, schools and public facilities named after the president over the past two years.
