"CRITICISE ME, DISAGREE WITH ME, BUT NEVER STOP BELIEVING IN NIGERIA" - PRESIDENT TINUBU TELLS NIGERIANS


President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has urged Nigerians to remain hopeful and committed to the nation despite its challenges, declaring that citizens are free to criticise and disagree with his administration but should never lose faith in Nigeria.

In his Democracy Day broadcast on Thursday, Tinubu called on young Nigerians to see the country as their future and contribute to its growth rather than seeking opportunities abroad.
“Nigeria is your home and your future. Build here, code here, work here, and vote here. Every great nation was built by those who stayed to solve problems, not by those who abandoned ship,” he said.

The President also charged the National Assembly, Judiciary, media and civil society organisations to continue serving as guardians of democracy, while commending the armed forces, police, intelligence agencies, traditional rulers, religious leaders and community heads for promoting peace and national unity.

“To our National assembly, Judiciary, the Press and civil society,  you are the guard rails of our republic. Criticise me, disagree with me, but never stop believing in Nigeria,” Tinubu urged.

According to the President, the greatest tribute to Nigeria’s democracy heroes is to build a nation where freedom is protected, justice prevails, opportunities expand and government remains accountable to the people.

The Movement for the Survival of the Gokana People (MOSOGP) has expressed strong concern over what it describes as the continued blackmail, unfounded allegations, and attempts to tarnish the reputation of prominent Gokana leader, Chief Lesi Maol, by Chief Gani Tonga.

According to the group, at a time when Ogoniland requires unity, visionary leadership, and collective action to address pressing social and developmental challenges, it is unfortunate that certain individuals continue to promote discord and misinformation within the society.

INEC HAS REMOVED THE NAMES OF AHMED YAYARI AND OTHERS FROM ITS PORTAL, REPLACE WITH WIKE LOYALIST

Image
 INEC has removed the names of Ahmed Yayari and Daniel Woyengikuro from its portal as PDP National Treasurer and National Financial Secretary, respectively, replacing both names with Odeyemi Mackson Oladiran and Eyim Donatus Henry as the new executives. Ahmed and Daniel are part of the Makinde-backed Turaki faction while Odeyemi and Eyim are members of the FCT Minister Nyesom Wike's faction, which is also the recognised faction of the PDP. INEC had earlier recognised the FCT Minister's faction by putting the names of Abdulrahman Mohammed as the National Chairman and Samuel Anyanwu as the National Secretary, but had left the names of Ahmed Yayari and Daniel as part of the executives, a situation which created confusion. With the recent update on its portal, all executives of the PDP on INEC's portal are now aligned with FCT Minister Nyesom Wike.

The Senate Committee on the South East Development Commission (SEDC) has asked the Managing Director of the commission, Mark Okoye, to provide a breakdown of how the N16.6 billion received from the 2025 budget was utilised. The committee, chaired by Orji Kalu, in a meeting with the management and staff of the agency on Tuesday at the National Assembly, queried claims that it spent N153 million to rent a one-room liaison office in Abuja, as well as an additional N2.5 billion categorised as “implied expenditure”.

ABIA STATE CANNOT BE A MEGA CITY LIKE LAGOS IN 15 YEARS - GOV. ALEX OTTI

Image
Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has said the state’s economic ambition is not to rival Lagos as a mega city within the next 15 years but to position itself as a viable alternative destination for businesses and investors. Speaking on Tuesday at the Invest Lagos 3.0 forum, Otti stressed that Nigeria’s economic growth should not be concentrated in Lagos alone, arguing that other states must develop their economies to ease pressure on the nation’s commercial capital. The governor commended Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for creating a platform that allows states to showcase their investment potential. “It takes a lot of selflessness to invite other states to take advantage of a platform to market themselves, and I assure you I will not demarket you as I market myself,” Otti said. While acknowledging Lagos’ status as Nigeria’s commercial hub, Otti said the country’s development would benefit from the emergence of additional economic centres. “Lagos is a mega city. If ...
