Kaduna, thank you for the overwhelming welcome today as we flagged off our APC 2027 Presidential Campaign. Three years ago, you gave me the privilege of serving as your President. Today, you filled this city again, hundreds of thousands of you from across the North, and I felt the warmth of your support. It was good to return with Vice President Kashim Shettima @officialsksm and our wives to a city that carries so much of our nation’s history. I remembered the founding leaders who gathered here before independence and prayed that Almighty Allah grants them forgiveness and eternal peace. Then I spoke to you plainly, because you have heard enough speeches. My opponents talk about hunger and poverty. I asked the crowd today who created these problems. They did. We are the ones working to eradicate them. The subsidy racket, fraudulent invoices and fuel smuggling are firmly behind us, and there is no going back. We confronted what we inherited with courage and political will, and we are building an economy that rewards hard work and creates opportunities for our people. I know the road has been hard. I hear you. Your sacrifices will not be in vain, and I will not rest until the progress we are making is felt in your homes, your businesses and your pockets. Our progressive governors are building roads, hospitals, schools and markets across their states, supported by increased revenues from the reforms we undertook. Salaries are being paid regularly, and development is taking shape. I am proud of what they are delivering for our people. On January 16, 2027, come out with your PVCs and give Vice President Kashim Shettima and me the mandate to finish what we started. Your future is in your hands, and your fingerprints at the ballot will help determine it. Thank you, Governor Uba Sani @ubasanius, for a befitting start to our campaign. Thank you, Kaduna, for standing with us once again. #RenewedHopeInKaduna #TinubuShettima2027 #RenewedHope2.0

BREAKING: The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested an Abuja-based businessman, Innocent Ezuma, 57, over allegations of defrauding a Ukrainian investor of more than $120m.

BREAKING: President Bola Tinubu has approved 18-month tenure extensions for Sylvester Ndidi Nwakuche, Controller-General of the Nigerian Correctional Service and Kemi Nanna Nandap, Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Immigration Service.

Today the APC gathering didn't need Davido or Wizkid nor Burna boy cos Governor Ademola Jackson Adeleke got it locked down 🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣👇

I read through the comments on this post and felt very worried about how this generation perceives Government efforts in sustaining development across the country. The Yobe Airport (Muhammadu Buhari International Cargo Airport) case illustrates an important relationship between infrastructure development, intergovernmental finance and public debt management. Yobe State funded the construction of the airport, the Federal Executive Council approved a takeover and reimbursement arrangement in May 2023 even before President Tinubu came to power. After the FEC approval, the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) reviewed the project and recommended the amount to be reimbursed. Now, 3 years after FEC approval, the Federal Government is now seeking legislative approval for a ₦100.51 billion promissory note programme which signals continuity in governance. Importantly, let us consider the positive impact of this airport on Yobe and other northeastern states. Obviously, it will contribute to agricultural logistics, private investment, employment and regional connectivity.

BREAKING: President Bola Tinubu has written the Senate, seeking approval of a N100.5 billion promissory note programme to reimburse the Yobe State Government for the cost of the Muhammadu Buhari International Cargo Airport in Damaturu.

Adams Oshiomhole describes President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a doctor that runs a political clinic for various politicians with political ailments.

To those of you carrying fake news that fuel is N1, 900. I just visited 3 different fuel stations. 1st station - N1, 390 2nd station - N1, 395 3rd station - N1, 380 Please where are you people buying fuel for 1,900?

Peter Obi was working and making money under this same dictator who fought ruthlessly against democracy. Today, Peter Obi is claiming to be more democratic than those who sacrificed their lives for democracy.

This is not our flag. Shame on you, Peter Obi!

2026 INDEPENDENCE DAY ADDRESS: FROM REFORMS TO PROSPERITY My fellow Nigerians, Sixty-six years ago today, our flag was raised, for the first time, over a free and sovereign nation. Since then, we have journeyed together as one nation, bound by our collective trust in the great promise of Nigeria: that a country of our size, our bountiful resources, our cultural diversity and, above all, our extraordinary people can build a giant in Africa; that in this blessed and fertile land we can build a united, strong and prosperous nation; a land of regional authority and global consequence. Our journey has not always been easy. In truth, it has generally been too hard for too many. We have known moments of great hope and periods of profound disappointment. We have endured war, military rule, economic crises, insecurity and political upheaval. Yet through it all, Nigeria, with the indomitable spirit of its people, has endured. It has endured through the efforts of the farmer who rises before dawn to work his land. The trader who opens her shop each morning, hopeful for a productive day. The teacher who believes in the children entrusted to her care and the young entrepreneur who refuses to surrender ambition to circumstance. We are grateful for the men and women of our Armed Forces and security services who place themselves in harm's way so that the rest of us may live in peace. Through every difficulty, generations of Nigerians have continued to believe in one thing: that this country of ours will be better. This faith, which sustains us all, is the inheritance of independence. Our founding fathers did not struggle merely for a flag, an anthem or a place among the nations of the world. Independence carried a larger promise: that Nigerians would have the freedom to shape their own destiny and build a nation capable of providing opportunity, dignity and a better life for its people. Sixty-six years later, Almighty God has made it our responsibility to deliver that promise. Today, as we celebrate our independence, we must speak honestly about the journey so far, the choices we made, and the country we are determined to build from here. For too long, the promise of Nigeria was undermined by choices that postponed difficult decisions and allowed deep economic distortions to grow. By 2023, poverty was rising, and hope was nearly gone. The country's situation was darker than ever. We had no choice but to act. Nigeria was like a sick patient who receives the terrible news that he has cancer. His doctor explains that the treatment will be difficult and painful, but that it offers a strong prospect of recovery. The patient has a choice. He can begin treatment, endure its discomfort and fight the disease. Or he can ask only for morphine, dull the pain and leave the cancer to spread. For too long, Nigeria's leaders chose morphine while praying for a miracle that never came. They focused on symptoms while allowing the disease to take hold deep within the fabric of our society. We spent enormous sums sustaining inefficient arrangements that were never intended to last. We hid from difficult truths and passed the consequences from one generation to the next. When this Administration assumed office, we resolved to do things differently. We chose to excise the cancer. The reforms that followed were difficult. The side effects were real. Yet, we must never confuse the medicine with the disease. Our reforms did not create the weaknesses in our economy. They confronted them. Now, as certain influential but regressive voices would have us abandon the treatment and return ourselves to the abuse of addictive subsidies, we must resist their siren song. We must remember why we began this journey and how far we have already come.

President Tinubu is hale and hearty Nigeria’s President is hale and hearty. He has been on a working vacation, which he is perfectly entitled to. In this digital age, he does not need to be physically present in Abuja to do the work for which he was elected in 2023.  And we have seen that he has indeed been working, meeting investors in France, most recently facilitating a $7 billion deep-sea port in Ogun Waterside, an initiative of the Ogun State Government.  Two other important African leaders were not in New York for the UNGA: South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa and Egypt’s Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. Ramaphosa booked himself off public engagements. Johannesburg and Pretoria made no uproar over Ramaphosa's absence at UNGA. And Egypt did not erupt that Sisi did not go to New York. The Nigerian President announced he was taking his annual vacation and delegated attendance to his able and dependable Vice President. Yet Peter Obi pretends to be unaware of President Tinubu’s whereabouts and asks the puerile question his followers are asking on X.  President Tinubu will return home this week to mark Nigeria’s 66th Independence Anniversary and honour MKO Abiola, the martyr of the democracy we enjoy today, by attending the premiere of a movie in MKO’s memory in Lagos.

Deconstructing Peter Obi (2): He is licensed to lie as he likes. His supporters love his lies “No one blames Obi for being a pathological liar. What one hears is, "Yes, we know that he is lying, but must you be the one to expose the lies of a brother—even if his lies are hurting you?" Hypocrisy and multiple standards everywhere. These do not advance the cause of public accountability. And consistency in our quest for strong ethical politics and governance. “Those who love H.E. Peter Obi should advise him to stop lying as a habit so as to avoid the constant embarrassment of confronting inconvenient facts and truth. It is also our advice to him as a brother.”

AGADA: WHEN PERSONAL GRIEVANCE IS MISTAKEN FOR POLITICAL MANDATE Wednesday, September 23, 2026 Hon. Austin Agada’s latest declaration that Governor Hyacinth Alia has given him “no reason” to support the Governor’s re-election bid in 2027 is neither surprising nor particularly consequential. At best, it is a statement of personal political preference. What Agada must not do, however, is dress what appears to be a personal grievance in the robes of a collective Benue APC position. The APC in Benue is bigger than any individual, faction or former office holder, and the party’s political machinery is already engaged in mobilisation, consultation and consolidation ahead of 2027. Agada, a former Chairman of the party in the State, cannot reasonably present himself as the uncontested voice of the entire Benue APC. There is also something curious about Agada’s sudden discovery that the Governor has given him “no reason” to support his second term. Politics is not a marketplace where support is exchanged for personal gratification, contracts, appointments or private expectations. Agada, by his own account, had previously demanded contracts, political appointments, party finances and other concessions from the administration. The public is therefore entitled to ask whether his present grievance is genuinely about governance or is connected to unmet personal and political expectations. These are matters that cannot simply be erased from the political history of his tenure as APC State Chairman because he has now found a media platform from which to criticise the Governor. It is also on record that during the last election, there were complaints from different quarters, including allegations within the Benue APC that state election campaign funds were diverted. Following the elections, there were further allegations that demobilisation funds disappeared on separate occasions after stakeholders’ meetings at Government House. Party members, support groups and some members of the party’s State Working Committee were also reported to have repeatedly raised concerns about his handling and reporting of party finances. These controversies were not simply manifestations of principled opposition; they formed part of the circumstances that contributed to the political crisis within the party at the time. His strained relationship with the Governor, stakeholders and others within the party was also evident to those who witnessed the affairs of the party during his tenure as Chairman. It is therefore remarkable that the same individual now seeks to lecture the public about political accommodation, inclusion and responsible leadership. Agada’s attempt to turn his personal decision about the 2027 election into a wider political statement is therefore misplaced and potentially misleading. The people of Benue will ultimately assess the administration of Governor Alia based on what they see, measure and experience, rather than on whether Hon. Austin Agada has personally found a “reason” to campaign for him. Likewise, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2027 political project cannot logically depend on the endorsement of one former State Chairman. Indeed, Agada has reportedly declared that his immediate political priority is mobilising grassroots support in Benue for President Tinubu’s 2027 re-election. If that remains his position, then his political messaging should be consistent. He cannot invoke President Tinubu when convenient while simultaneously advancing a narrative that could undermine the APC administration in Benue, which is expected to mobilise alongside the President. There is another matter Agada should understand: political relevance is not conferred simply by repeatedly announcing oneself as “Chairman.” It is earned through recognised structures, functioning institutions, grassroots confidence and the ability to bring people together.

The truth the Obidients don't want to hear about their Messiah, Saint Peter Obi: Former Speaker of the Anambra State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Anayo Nebe—now deceased—condemned Peter Obi as the governor who dragged Anambra workers “from grace to grass".

It was a pleasure to share a private dinner with President Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace in Paris. @EmmanuelMacron Our conversation reaffirmed the strong friendship between Nigeria and France, as well as our shared commitment to deepening cooperation and building a mutually beneficial partnership between our two nations. I thank President Macron for his warm hospitality and friendship. @NigeriaGov @NGRPresident

BREAKING: Anambra Government Releases Details Of Loans Peter Obi Left Behind, Disputes N2.13billion Ecological Fund Claim | Sahara Reporters bit.ly/4j0yJg0

Peter Obi claimed he left Anambra with a clean slate of debt and even threatened to quit the presidential race if his claims were proven otherwise. Now, the Anambra government has confronted him with facts and figures showing he owed Water Corporation workers, teachers, and pension and gratuities, and had also borrowed for frivolous things. The ball is back in his court. Will he follow through on his threat by quitting the race?

Peter Obi came out to lie to Nigerians after his wife was caught with a luxury N250million designer bag. Watch this video: Peter Obi is indeed a pathological liar.
