Hello @B_ELRUFAI@BashirElRufai, hope today's court appearance was as stressful and hellish as it could ever be for your wire-tapping fiend daddy. May it be a very long and harrowing season for the little fiend and his people.
Serious minded governors are building infrastructure at a rapid pace without piling up debts, and they are paying minimum wage without owing salaries.
Citizens praise the governor who is a beneficiary of improved FAAC Revenue due to subsidy removal and NNPC remittances but abuse the president who removed subsidy.
Praise Alex Otti and Peter Mbah for building hospitals and bus terminals but condemn President Tinubu who made sure they got 3x FAAC allocation. Cognitive dissonance...
Peter Obi cannot be playing deaf to these threats and violent rhetoric from his supporters. As it is obvious, Obidients are not preparing for an election; they are making the 2027 poll a do-or-die affair 🤗
Now the hideous family of the body-bag thug and friends are now engaging lobbyists in the west to help him out of jail. The west must be made to understand, the body-bag thug and his odious family do not deserve a minute of their intervention. @B_ELRUFAI@BashirElRufai
You won't see this from Governors of Katsina, zamfara or Yobe but their citizens are here shouting "Tinubu must go".
They would rather spend N2bn on mass weddings or fund hisbah police to look for people eating during fasting.
Insecurity has always been a political tool for the Northern Elites. This staunch Buhari supporter was quiet for 8 years. It is a power retention and political manipulation tool for people like this.
Dapchi girls, Kankara300 boys, train attack, Kuje attack, presidential guard attack, he kept quiet all through the banditry attacks that ravaged Katsina and Zamfara for 8 years. Now he has found his voice. He will never criticise his governor, he will not criticise the almajiri system that keeps millions of children out of school.
@just_kwazy@Sello_Libram It hurts so much knowing that Nigerian men are not only f**king your women but they are "in fact" f**king your mother. How traumatizing it must be for you to be aware of it! Now that's unforgivable.

@Sistaliano But @PeterObi said crime has no tribe. Hello Gringory, on this profiling we stand! Ibos are criminals. Ibos have a culture of crime. Crime is the culture in Iboland.
@Pressman2040 Hello @PeterObi, find here another instalment of the mindless atrocities carried out by Nnamdi Kanu's IPOB. Yes, the same Nnamdi Kanu you intend to release from prison and the IPOB thugs whom you will have us believe are Catholic Church choir boys.
@OgbeniDipo@davido's fat uncle is so totally unfit. Wish Davido takes his Uncle Jackson with him on his next tour and employ him as his road manager. Osun State needs to move on.
@TheYorubaTimes The "structure of criminality" which the snake oil salesman called @peterobi should be more concerned about is the trans-national "structure of criminality" built, owned and run by his Ibo kinsmen all over the world.
Alleged N2b Nigeria Air Fraud: How Sirika Allegedly Used Ethiopian Airlines as Fake Nigeria Air-Witness
The 12th Prosecution Witness, PW12, Christopher Odofin, in the trial of the former Minister of Aviation, Hadi Abubakar Sirika, on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, told Justice S.C. Oriji of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, High Court Abuja, how Sirika allegedly passed off an aircraft belonging to Ethiopian Airline as that of the promised Nigeria Air by the government of the late President Muhammadu Buhari.
The decoy aircraft, adorned with the livery of the promised Nigeria Air, found its way on the tarmac of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja on May 27, 2023, being three days to the expiration of the tenure of the Buhari government and was flown back to Addis Ababa in the morning of May 29, 2023, being the handover date to the successor government.
Hadi Sirika is facing prosecution by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC on amended six-count, bordering on alleged abuse of office and misappropriation of public funds to the tune of over N2 billion, alongside his daughter, Fatima Hadi Sirika, son-in-law, Hamma Jalal Sule, and Al Buraq Global Investment Limited.
The contract for the setting up of Nigeria Air was awarded to Tianaero Nigeria Limited, belonging to Gabriel Tilmann, a close associate and friend of the former minister.
Reading from a portion of contract agreement with Ethiopian Airline, the witness, an investigator with Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC said “The aircraft will depart from Addis Ababa (ADD) late evening of May 26, 2023 for it to be positioned early morning of May 27, 2023 at the Abuja (ABV) airport. The aircraft will stay in ABV airport for static display of Nigeria Air livery until May 28, 2023. The aircraft will leave ABV airport early morning on May, 29, 2023. The chartered flight will be operated by the Ethiopian Airline crew in Ethiopian Airline uniform. The Federal Government of Nigeria and Nigeria Air may put together local models who will be in Nigeria Air uniforms to pose for ceremonial pictures. The models may come to Addis Ababa so they may fly with the chartered flight to ABV.”
The witness told the court that the display of the aircraft in Abuja International Airport was deliberately planned to coincide with the end of the first defendant’s tenure as Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development on May 29, 2023 and to pass the aircraft off as the actualization of his promise of the return of Nigeria Air. After the less than 72 hours display of the aircraft, he stated that the Nigeria Air logo was removed from the aircraft and flown back to Ethiopian Airlines in Addis Ababa.
The witness further disclosed that the investigating team was also able to ascertain that Ethiopian Airlines entered into a charter arrangement for the static display of the Nigeria Air livery for a duration of just three days, beginning from May 27 to May 29, 2023 based on information and documents received from the airline following a letter from it, dated June 12, 2023, in response to the EFCC’s request for information regarding Nigeria Air. And that though the purpose of the contract was for the establishment of Nigeria Air, the charter agreement with Ethiopian Airlines was entered on May 24, 2023, five days to the expiration of the defendant’s tenure for just a static display of the Nigeria Air logo on an aircraft.
All the documents tendered in evidence by the prosecution were shown to have been duly signed, authorized, and accompanied by certificates of identification and were not objected to by any of the counsels to the four defendants.
Among the exhibits is a compact disk containing a voice note from the first defendant, Hadi Sirika, marked Exhibit 37, which the prosecution counsel applied to be played in the court at the next adjourned date.
@Ade_Nurayn In a normal world, @OUKtweets, a man whose public life is defined not by service but by corruption would have been barred for life from public office. Uzor Kalu has no business being a legislator, never mind being on a Senate Committee probing the expenditure of a public agency.
