Four men, four distinct personalities, and four remarkable chapters in the political history of Lagos State.
AKANNI – A dedicated governor who took over from our Emeritus Governor, the cornerstone of modern Lagos, carrying forward the responsibility of leadership and sustaining the vision of a greater Lagos.
AMBÒDE – A remarkable, hardworking and memorable governor whose single term in office remains a chapter worth remembering. What a man!
SANWO-OLU – A man among great men, making his own mark and adding another significant chapter to the evolving story of Lagos leadership.
OBĀFẸ́MI HAMZAT – The incoming governor! A man of brilliant ideas, patience, experience and vision. Having stood alongside leadership and gained invaluable experience, the time has come for him to take the driver’s seat and steer Lagos towards the PROMISED LAND.
Different personalities, different leadership styles, and different moments in history, yet united by one enduring vision: THE LAGOS PROJECT!
The baton continues. The journey goes on. A new chapter is about to unfold.
WHAT A LINEAGE! WHAT A POLITICAL HISTORY! WHAT A LEGACY!

I AM OVERWHELMED WITH EMOTIONS! 🤲🕋
Yesterday was not just another day; it was a moment that will forever be engraved in my heart and in the history of our nation.
At a time when our country’s narrative is changing, I am reminded that some blessings go beyond human understanding. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not just a lucky man; he is a man favoured by Almighty Allah.
The extraordinary privilege of opening the door of the Holy Kaaba, touching and kissing the Black Stone (Hajar al-Aswad), and entering the sacred Kaaba in Makkah is a blessing beyond words.
To stand in such a sacred place, witness this historic moment, and have the rare privilege of sharing this spiritual experience alongside Mr President is something I never imagined I would experience in my lifetime.
Honestly, words cannot express what my heart feels. I am overwhelmed with gratitude, filled with joy, humbled by Allah’s mercy, and deeply moved by this unforgettable experience.
Some blessings cannot be bought, demanded, or explained. They come only by the grace and mercy of Almighty Allah.
I feel honoured. I feel humbled. I feel emotional. Above all, I feel incredibly grateful.
I didn’t just witness history; I lived a moment that I will cherish and recount for generations to come.
I am not just lucky. I am truly blessed.
ALHAMDULILLAH! ALHAMDULILLAH!! ALHAMDULILLAH!!! 🤲❤️🕋

STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE
PRESIDENT TINUBU INAUGURATES PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN COUNCIL, EMPHASISES READINESS TO RENEW COVENANT WITH NIGERIANS
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday inaugurated the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), declaring that the party is ready and united to renew its covenant with Nigerians ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
At the ceremony at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja, President Tinubu charged council members and party leaders to demonstrate unity, commitment, and dedication as they prepare for the campaign, while keeping the administration’s governance priorities firmly on track.
The President expressed confidence in the PCC and the party's ability to work together toward its objectives, stressing that unity, discipline, and a shared sense of purpose would be essential to the task ahead.
" As I stand before you with a heart full of gratitude and spirit full of resolve, it is my honour to inaugurate the presidential campaign council of the All Progressives Congress for the 2027 General Election. I thank all of you for the last election, but no one gets credit for an incomplete assignment until you deliver the next election, until you deliver your electoral wards, until you deliver the votes," he said.
The President also acknowledged the advice of the Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum, Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, who counselled him not to let the rigours of the election campaign distract him from his responsibilities of governance.
In his speech, Uzodimma assured the President that the governors and other party leaders would do their best to deliver the right message to Nigerians during the campaign.
President Tinubu said the advice was timely, noting that while the PCC-APC would intensify its political mobilisation, his administration remained committed to delivering on its promises and addressing the needs and aspirations of Nigerians.
“However, I will still make time to speak directly with Nigerians even as you lead the campaign in the states and local government areas. We have bills to pay. The American creditors cannot wait. We want those investors to come in and invest for the future of our children," the President said.
President Tinubu called on members of the campaign council to conduct their activities responsibly, engage Nigerians constructively, and highlight the administration's policies and programmes under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
The President also commended Vice President Kashim Shettima for his oratory and patriotic approach to national development, calling his speech excellent.
He commended Lagos State Governor Babajide Samwo-Olu and his Deputy, Obafemi Hamzat, for their contributions to the success he recorded during his term as governor of the state, especially in taming the encroachment by the Atlantic Ocean.
"There is a limit, but there is no limit in daring. We dared the Atlantic Ocean, and the result is the Atlantic City in Lagos", he said.
Vice President Kashim Shettima earlier commended the President's courage and conviction in deepening democracy in the country.
He cited the President's support for former Vice President and Presidential Candidate of the Action Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, in 2007 to contest the Presidency on the platform of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).
The Vice President berated the former Vice President Atiku for belittling the office of the President.
" You can call him Bola, if you like, call him Adekunle, but he is the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria," Shettima said.
Shettima also slammed National Democratic Movement presidential candidate Peter Obi for peddling bogus statistics and often comparing Nigeria with other countries without context.

Good citizens and netizens of this great nation, Nigeria,
We have often heard people criticize politicians for sending their children abroad for education while bringing the children of ordinary Nigerians out to participate in rallies and political activities.
Now, the President’s son @STinubu has come out publicly to participate. Some people are still saying that this is not the way forward.
So, what exactly do we want?
If political participation by the children of the poor is questioned, and participation by the children of politicians is also questioned, then what standard are we applying?
Let us be consistent. The real conversation should be about equal opportunity, good leadership, quality education, and allowing every Nigerian
regardless of who their parents are
to participate in the affairs of the country.
What exactly do we want?

In 2022, before Nigeria’s Presidential election in February, 2023, Femi Otedola also visited President Tinubu in France. Four years after, he testified on the gains that 3 years of Tinubu stewardship has brought to the Nigerian economy.
In Otedola’s words: “The results are increasingly evident top Nigerian companies now included on the FTSE Russell Frontier 50 Index, the NGX at historic highs, increased foreign direct investment and renewed economic confidence, a unified and more stable foreign exchange market, foreign reserves standing strong at about $55 billion, and so much more”.

President Tinubu departs Paris for Nigeria
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has ended his working vacation and has already departed Paris, France, for the homeward journey to Nigeria.
President Tinubu’s aircraft is expected to touch down at Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos, later this evening.
The Nigerian leader chose to fly to Lagos first to honour the memory of Chief MKO Abiola, the martyr of Nigeria’s democratic struggle.
On Independence Day, the President will attend the premiere of a movie honouring Abiola, the winner of the June 1993 election, at the Wole Soyinka National Theatre, Iganmu, Lagos.
While in Lagos, President Tinubu will also hold strategic meetings with political leaders and associates over several days in preparation for the 2027 elections.
President Tinubu departed Abuja on August 30 for the working vacation. He spent one week in London before heading for Paris.
While in Paris, he attended a private dinner with President Emmanuel Macron. He also met with business leaders, including Mr Vincent Bolloré of the Bolloré Group, whose media and digital interests include Canal+, MultiChoice and Universal Music Group.
On Monday, he also met with the Chairman of First Holdings, Femi Otedola.
Last week, President Tinubu witnessed the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Ogun State Government and DP World to build a Gateway deep seaport in Ogun Waterside and create a Blue Marine Economic Zone in the area.
DP World, one of the world’s leading ports and logistics operators, plans to invest $7 billion for the seaport and the economic zone.
President Tinubu will return to Abuja after his political engagements in Lagos.

STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE
President Tinubu extends working vacation by a few days
President Tinubu will return to Nigeria at the weekend, following the extension of his working vacation by a few days.
President Tinubu departed Nigeria on August 30 for London to begin the working vacation.
After spending a week in London, he moved to Paris, France, where he met with French President Emmanuel Macron and businessman Mr Vincent Bollore, whose media group includes Canal+, Multichoice, and Universal Music Group.
Since he began the vacation, President Tinubu has continued to keep in touch with home, directing the affairs of the nation, like ordering an independent panel to investigate the death of 37 illegal miners in Minna, following their detention by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, among other things.
While away, President Tinubu delegated Vice President Kashim Shettima to represent him at some official functions. Though Shettima left Abuja on September 20 for New York to attend the 81st United Nations General Assembly, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, who has also been representing the President at events, will continue to do so.
On the political front, the Director-General of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Senator Abubakar Yari, has been leading notable party leaders in consultations with prominent traditional rulers in the country.
The Presidency described the baseless insinuation by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and a United States-based lobbying firm headed by an ex-convict about President Tinubu's non-attendance at UNGA as irresponsible.
Vice President Shettima, who is representing the President at the global conference, will present Nigeria's national statement.

President Tinubu’s Absence Does Not Silence Nigeria at UNGA 81.
Yesterday, I joined @seunokin on @channelstv Sunday Politics to discuss President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s decision to have Vice-President Kashim Shettima lead Nigeria’s delegation to the United Nations General Assembly for the third consecutive year. The conversation soon opened a bigger question: what actually demonstrates seriousness in foreign policy?
UNGA High-Level Week brings world leaders together and creates valuable opportunities for direct engagement. That value should be recognised, but it cannot become the sole measure of a country’s diplomatic commitment.
Diplomacy also depends on institutions, continuity, the authority of a country’s representatives and the work that follows each engagement. Vice-President Shettima is Nigeria’s second-highest elected officer and carries the President’s full mandate. Supported by Foreign Minister Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Jimoh Ibrahim, and other senior officials, he will deliver Nigeria’s national statement and conduct high-level bilateral and multilateral engagements.
The more sensational claim that President Tinubu’s absence reflects a legal or immigration restriction in the United States has no factual foundation. The President attended UNGA 78 in New York in 2023 and undertook engagements outside the UN Headquarters district, including at NASDAQ. He was also in Los Angeles in August 2025 before travelling onward to Brazil. I accompanied him on both occasions. Questions about his decision to delegate are legitimate; the invented entry-bar explanation is political gimmickry and nonsense.
Nigeria arrives in New York with substantial priorities. Vice-President Shettima will address insecurity across the Sahel, explain the direction of Nigeria’s economic reforms, press for fairer global financial rules, advance climate action and argue for stronger African representation in international institutions.
These issues directly affect Nigerians. Decisions on security cooperation, climate finance, investment, and the global financial system affect jobs, government revenue, economic opportunity, and the state’s capacity to protect its citizens.
Nigeria’s diplomacy also extends beyond the UN. The administration works through ECOWAS, the African Union, BRICS and bilateral relationships to advance the country’s interests. UNGA is an important part of that wider diplomatic engagement.
Public scrutiny of presidential attendance is healthy, but Nigeria is fully represented with sufficient authority. A fuller judgement must also consider whether Nigeria clearly advances its positions and whether its engagements produce useful results for Nigerian. That is the standard by which Nigeria’s participation at UNGA 81 should be assessed.

*"I WOULD CHOOSE THE SAME ROAD THAT LED ME TO YOU”: PRESIDENT TINUBU CELEBRATES FIRST LADY OLUREMI TINUBU ON HER BIRTHDAY ON SEPTEMBER 21*
Oluremi mi,
Today, I celebrate the woman who has walked beside me with patience, grace and uncommon courage.
Àwọn àgbà sọ pé, “Ìyàwó rere ni adé ọkọ rẹ̀.” A good wife is her husband’s crown. The Book of Proverbs, which you know far better than I do, also speaks eloquently of the worth of a virtuous woman.
You have given these words true meaning in my life. You have stood by my side through every season.
The burdens that were mine to bear often found their way onto your shoulders. The thoughts I could not put into words somehow found their way to you.
In difficult times, when the future was uncertain, you stayed calm beside me and prayed with me.
Through all these years, you have remained the one who truly understands me.
More often than not, you sense when I need counsel before I ask. There have been nights when your presence alone was counsel enough.
I call you my truest friend and confidante because you speak the truth plainly, even on the days I would rather not hear it.
After a demanding day, you wait until we are alone before telling me what I need to hear. I have always cherished you for that honesty.
Our home bears the lasting imprint of your devotion. Our children and grandchildren have grown beneath the shelter of your prayers. They carry your values of faith and kindness wherever life takes them.
Nigerians know you for your compassion, kindness, generosity of spirit and steadfast faith. I have watched you touch lives quietly and consistently, offering hope and support to those in need.
From the New Era Foundation during our years in the saddle in Lagos to the Renewed Hope Initiative today, your care has reached many young boys and girls, widows, elderly citizens. and women farmers across the country.
Those affected by tuberculosis or any disease at all have found in you a compassionate advocate and a determined champion.
I know the prayers you offer for people whose names you may never know. I also know many whom you have helped without ever meeting them. For you, compassion has never recognised the boundaries of tribe, region or religion.
A long journey teaches a man the true value of a good partner. We have travelled a long road together. I think of the difficult decisions we talked through for hours and the sacrifices no one else saw. Laughter and prayer carried us through many of them.
If life returned me to the beginning, I would choose the same road that led me to you. Through every mile, my heart has always remained at home with you.
I thank you for the life we have built and the love that has held it together.
Happy 66th birthday, my darling Oluremi. I pray that God Almighty will grant you many more years in good health and joy.
May the years ahead bring you the same comfort and happiness you have so freely given to me and many others.
With all my love,
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR

Very interesting call in yesterday’s Manchester City vs. Manchester United game.
Haaland’s goal was initially ruled offside but was then overturned. Personally, I feel the original offside decision should have stood.
To me, Enzo, who was in an offside position, clearly made a play toward the ball. Diving/moving toward the ball, in my opinion, constitutes making a play on the ball and should therefore be considered active involvement.
I’d love to hear the thoughts of other referees on this one.
Referees only, please.
