[Charly Boy Area Fada 1 @AreaFada1]

Today, I walk through something wey words no fit fully capture.

Standing side by side with Baba Olusegun Obasanjo and my brother Aliko Dangote, I take another look at wetin vision, courage and persistence fit build.

This refinery no be small project.
E be like city inside city.

As we dey waka through the massive structures, pipelines and facilities, one thing keep ringing for my head:

One man’s dream fit become national asset.

People dey always talk about wetin Nigeria no get.
Today, I see wetin Nigeria fit become when ambition meet execution.

The love from workers and visitors wey stop to take pictures, gist and share moments with us reminded me of something important:

People still dey hungry for hope.

Not the hope wey politicians dey promise every election season.

The hope wey you can touch.
The hope wey you can see.
The hope wey stand physically before your eyes.

As Baba, Dangote and I stood together for photographs, I no just see three men.

I see three different journeys.
Different paths.
Different convictions.

But one lesson:

Never underestimate wetin one determined human being fit achieve.

Nigeria still get challenges.

Plenty.

But days like this remind me say possibility still dey alive.

And sometimes, seeing is believing.

I was on the flight to London with him for this trip. We were both in economy class. I was shocked to see a governor in economy class. My greatest shock was when he told the air hostess that he needed to clean all the toilets to keep his time engaged.

Qatari foreign ministry spokesman confirmed that they have backdown from support of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran and concluded to work with Iran for peace.

[Adamu B. Garba II, Msc, MNIIA, FIDPM @adamugarba]

The United States and Israel are making preparations to send nearly 12000 elite forces to Iran to their certain death.

The operation is being funded by the Saudi Government, UAE, Qatar and Kuwait.

There is practically no war militarily or strategic possible to win Iranian in a ground operations.

Iran already has 650,000 soldiers and 250,000 paramilitary troops.

They also have various military operating organizations, summing up to almost 2,000,000 forces.

This U.S-Israel-GCC ground operations need much more than a miracle to succeed.

This is a suicidal mission, pure and simple.

PRESS STATEMENT

In the last 24 hours, social media has exploded over my interview with Mehdi Hassan, albeit with varied opinions. Let me set the record straight.

When I signed on to the privileged job granted to me by Mr. President, I was well aware of its implications. Selling ice cream, looking fine, and seeking the praises of men were never part of it. Some of the fiercest critics of my interview can not even stand local TV anchors. But the task of promoting and defending the President and his administration is what I do with ease and joy. I am prepared to appear before any interviewer, anywhere in the world, any day and at any time, to defend this government and its policies.

I have never, and will never, subscribe to ducking or dodging interviews on matters that concern promoting and defending the administration I was appointed to serve. It is the least of what is required of me.

Head to Head contacted me requesting an interview, stating that they wanted to challenge our government on security, the economy, and corruption. Nowhere in our almost six months of communication did they mention that they were going to challenge my past. If that had been their plan, ethically and professionally, they were supposed to inform me so I could prepare my response. But that’s okay, ethically, that is on them, not on me.

I refused to swallow the pill of Mehdi’s “opposition research-style journalism,” and even today, if you carefully compare what he read as quotes from organisations and groups, you will see that many were inaccurate and some were outright fake news. But I will leave that for another day.

As for what I said about President Tinubu in the past, I am glad those were things I said when I was in the opposition saddle with such zeal. It is all politics. Half of Donald Trump’s cabinet is made up of people who once spoke against him, and quite a number of people in our own cabinet also spoke against President Tinubu in the past. Those things do not bother him if you care to know.

The majority of the naysayers are members of the opposition and their sympathisers. It does not bother me one bit. Their temporary excitement over the interview has not lasted and will not last, because it does not take away their obvious problem of lack of vision, mission in conducting and managing a political party; yet they seek to manage Nigeria. Clearly they have no path to victory and no alternative policies or program for the Nigerian people. And if they say they do, they can as well go to head to head and be interrogated on that; as the saying in Hausa goes “Ga fili Ga doki”

I conclude by thanking the many Nigerians and non-Nigerians who sent in their commendations over my brave defence of our government in an interview where the anchor would hardly let you answer a question unless it suited his narrative.

I still have admiration and respect for Mehdi Hassan as arguably the best debater on the planet. I look forward to part two of the Head to Head interview, and I am glad that by then questions about my past will no longer be news so that we can focus on our administration’s policies, programs and what we have achieved so far.

Stay tuned.

As a presidential spokesperson, you must be deliberate about the platforms you grant interviews. Ask yourself: Will this add value? Especially when you’re battling a reputation for doublespeak and serving a government struggling to show impact. Daniel Bwala, that was a train wreck.

️He Thought the Mosque Was a Church Before Converting to Islam

British businessman Joel, who converted to Islam and changed his name to Abdul Rahman Afia, speaks about how he first came to know about Islam:

*“I saw a scene that you would never see in a church—
A place filled with hundreds of people from all ethnic backgrounds: Arabs, Africans, Pakistanis.
I wondered, who are these people!?
All I could think about was finding out who they were!
This doesn’t happen in churches in the UK.
In churches, people tend to look alike in appearance and dress.

Then, I saw the traffic sign and realized it was ‘The Central Mosque’ in London.
I left my university and sat behind the mosque wall—it was Friday prayer.

After the prayer ended, people left, and I didn’t know what to do.
I was fascinated by their appearance, their beautiful and diverse clothing, their smiles, and how they Embraced each other after prayer.

I stayed for about an hour and a half until a Sudanese man approached me and asked, ‘Are you Muslim?’
I said, ‘No.’

He said, ‘Wait here.’
He left and returned with two books:
One was the Quran in Arabic with English translation,
And the other was a book titled ‘What Everyone Should Know About Islam and Muslims’.

He said to me: ‘Keep these books and read them.
If you have any questions, come back to us, and we will answer them.’

I was so impressed by his kindness toward me. His character was wonderful.
The way he spoke to me was beautiful.
Alhamdulillah (praise be to God) for the blessing of Islam.”

And from here began a new life, marked by La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad Rasul Allah (There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is His Messenger).

Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you. Aameen 🤲

There were two house of assembly seats contested for in Rivers state yesterday, Wike's candidates in APC won both.

In Abuja, all the six area council chairmanship seats were contested for, the APC candidates he supported won five while his faction of PDP won the only one that APC lost.

But the most interesting one is that of AMAC, Abuja Municipal Area Council. While all others are Abuja suburbs or what grammarians call satellite towns, AMAC is the centre of federal government offices and establishments. It is also the prime business center and home to foreign missions.

And so because of all these and more, the coalition felt that they should put all their efforts in winning AMAC.

Obi went to Utako market to buy a bottle of groundnut for N10k but people said that the woman who sold the groundnut to him ended up voting for APC.

Amaechi abandoned the few followers he has in Rivers state to also team up against Wike in AMAC and so he went on the street buying and eating roasted corn.

Dalung boasted that if they won AMAC, then Tinubu should start thinking of leaving Aso Villa in 2027.

Some people said that he is the unwise Solomon.

Atiku also campaigned for their candidate, one Dr Mo whose name I personally and sincerely think that would be better if he ventured into producing herbal medicine and call it Dr Mo Herbal Mixture.

The man who is from Benue boasted that Abuja is not Obio Akpor and that they'll teach Wike a lesson but yesterday Abuja voters who are mostly Gbagyi, the owners of the land and who one of them is the APC candidate, showed the lousy man that Abuja no be Benue.

APC won with 40k votes to 12k votes.

And then I woke up this morning with a question in my mind and the question is how will these people who pull all their resources together for only one local government election yet lost to Wike think that they can defeat Tinubu in a presidential election?

“I had obtained and filled the INEC form to go to the Senate, then I realised that I have a Governorship candidate, Mr Babatunde Fashola, and Obasanjo was the President, determined to win Lagos state.

"I told myself, 'if I go ahead, I will strive to win my seat while leaving Fashola to his fate'. Then one morning, I called Ganiyu Solomon and told him to follow me to Abuja, we landed, and off we went to the INEC office, withdrew my form, and handed him another form. Ganiyu was shocked, he asked me for what sir, I said fill the form, he did and that was how I was able to concentrate in the Governorship election, Fashola won and Gani also won his seat. We must make sacrifices...

Proof That Peter Obi Loves Power, Not Nigeria

The single largest individual tourist event in Africa is the Detty December exodus to Lagos, Nigeria, every year-end. Last Yuletide, 1.2 million holidaymakers converged on Lagos, the Nigerian city-state ranked by TimeOut London as the 19th most liveable city in the world.

Yet:

Not one Detty December reveller was killed.

Not a single robbery was reported.

Nobody was kidnapped, abducted, or held against their will in any way, shape, or form, and

There were no reports of disturbances of the peace.

Please fact-check me.

That is evidence of safety, efficient policing and effective governance.

Yet, Peter Obi is telling the world that Nigeria is unsafe?

Yes, we have pockets of insecurity in Nigeria, which we are dealing with, but Nigeria's murder rate is almost half that of South Africa. A county with only 20% of our population. Yet, how many South African opposition politicians have you seen de-marketing the Rainbow Country on that basis?

Please fact-check me: When President Bola Tinubu was in the opposition under Presidents Obasanjo, Yar’adua, and Jonathan, he may have criticised them as individuals from time to time, but he NEVER de-marketed Nigeria.

A person who cannot appreciate the baby steps and giant strides of progress Nigeria has made, and instead continuously uses every platform he can find to de-market the country, cannot represent us well as President.

If you cannot speak well about your country except when you are leading it, then it is power you love, not your country!

Dear Liman,

Thank you for your feedback. Do you even know what it is to be a Muslim? The word Muslim means 'Submission' in Arabic. Anybody who genuinely submits to God, as they honestly perceive God to be, whether they are adherents of Judaism or Christianity, is automatically a Muslim according to the literal definition of the word المسلمون or al-Muslimūn.

You, as a muʾmin, do not have a monopoly on that title Muslim. Your exclusivity is in the term Islam, which is a Method of being a Muslim.

It is the same way I will be a fool if I think that Christians have a monopoly on Nabi Isa (Yeshua, Jesus) and His mother, Mariam (Mary). Both of Them are a part of Islamic beliefs.

This is particularly important when you understand that Prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam, commanded the faithful to worship the God of Abraham and Moses.

Between you and me, Liman, there is only a difference in method or approach. But as to destination, there is no difference, because there is only one God.

I don't believe in the Trinity. I consider it a blasphemous abomination.

But I believe in and am submitted to the one God, as you do. In that sense, I am a Muslim, although my method of submission is through Orthodox Christianity.

Thanks again, Liman, Ramadan Kareem and may God bless you.

Dear Nigerians,

Effective February 13, 2026, I signed an Executive Order to restore what belongs to the Nigerian people.

For too long, excessive deductions, overlapping funds, and structural distortions in the oil and gas sector have weakened remittances to the Federation Account. When revenues meant for federal, state, and local governments are trapped in layers of charges and retention mechanisms, development suffers. That must end.

With Order 9 of 2026 (Presidential Executive Order to Safeguard Federation Oil and Gas
Revenues and Provide Regulatory Clarity, 2026) which has now been gazetted, all Royalty Oil, Tax Oil, Profit Oil, Profit Gas, and other government entitlements under Production Sharing and related contracts will now be paid directly into the Federation Account. The additional 30 per cent management fee and the 30 per cent Frontier Exploration deduction will no longer stand in the way of national revenue.

Our objective is transparency, accountability, and full constitutional compliance.

Oil and gas revenues must serve the Nigerian people first and this reform is about fairness and fiscal responsibility.

As we strengthen national security, invest in education, expand healthcare, stabilise the economy, and advance our energy transition, every legitimate naira due to the Federation must be protected.

NNPC Limited will operate strictly as a commercial enterprise, as intended under law. The era of duplicative deductions and fragmented oversight is over.

Our administration will also undertake a comprehensive review of the Petroleum Industry Act to address structural and fiscal anomalies that weaken national revenue. I have also approved the establishment of an Implementation Committee to oversee and ensure the effective, coordinated implementation of the executive order.

Nigeria can no longer afford leakage where there should be leadership.

We are safeguarding the Federation Account.
We are strengthening our budget.
We are acting in the national interest.

This was my promise to Nigerians when I asked for this job. Nigeria First.

I thank you all.

President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces
