Atiku’s closest ally, Dr. Aslam Aliyu, joins millions of Nigerians in support for President Bola Tinubu. She said “NO OPPOSITION IS QUALIFIED TO DEFEAT PREDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU IN 2027”.
I now understand that, when it comes to politics and governance, Peter Obi lacks the capacity to lead Nigeria.
The President reached out to Governor Makinde, which prompted decisive action against the insecurity in Oyo State.
I still remember clearly that the Chief of Staff to the President recently visited Oyo State, and virtually all heads of Nigeria’s security agencies have also visited the state at one point or another.
I don’t understand why Peter Obi chooses to play politics with innocent lives. He is simply not the kind of person who should be entrusted with power.
This is exactly why I now realize he failed to tackle insecurity in Anambra State effectively during his eight years as governor.
A billionaire businessman, oil magnate, and philanthropist from Delta State, Chief Dr. Daniel Omoyibo (Danmotech), went out casually to have his hair barbered at a saloon with two barbers.
When he explained the haircut to the first barber, he was charged 5k and he priced it at 2k which he believed to be the appropriate price. The first barber insisted on the price he gave and the man was about to leave when the other barber called him back saying 'It was still morning'. He agreed to the price.
While the man had his haircut, they interacted, and he got to know that he is from Kogi and working for the shop owner. When asked how much will set up his own barbing saloon, he mentioned 2-3million naira.
Danmotech sent him 5million naira immediately and asked him to set himself up. He also exchanged numbers with him for further assistance. The man was really emotional and couldn't believe it.
Blessings come in different ways!
Indeed, the IMF's observation relates primarily to the comprehensiveness, timing and presentation of fiscal reporting rather than the legality of expenditure. Like many countries, Nigeria continues to strengthen the alignment between budget presentation and international fiscal reporting standards as part of ongoing public financial management reforms. As a matter of fact, His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR had himself formally requested the National Assembly to end the practice of running multiple and overlapping budgets, and rather harmonise into a single, cohesive framework during his presentation of the 2026 Appropriation Bill to a joint session of the National Assembly on December 19, 2025.
The Federal Government remains firmly committed to prudent fiscal management, transparency and accountability. Recent reforms have significantly strengthened public financial management with ongoing improvements in budget assumptions and credibility, transparent revenue administration, digitalisation of government financial processes, and stronger treasury management. These reforms have been acknowledged by the IMF itself and other multilateral institutions, as well as international credit rating agencies, major media organisations and investors.
Public debate is both welcome and essential in a democratic society. However, it should be based on facts and an accurate understanding of Nigeria's constitutional and fiscal framework. Mischaracterising technical observations as evidence of unlawful expenditure neither advances informed public discourse nor strengthens democratic accountability.
The Federal Government will continue to uphold the rule of law, maintain transparency in the management of public resources, and work with the National Assembly, oversight institutions, development partners and the Nigerian people to further strengthen fiscal governance in line with international best practices.

Is There a Political Dimension to the Adeniyi Adeyemi Affair? Hidden Fingers behind it?
Ever since the controversy surrounding the purported Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) emerged, many Nigerians have sought to understand how Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi was able to present himself as the head of an organisation which the Presidency has since stated was never lawfully established.
For many observers, the affair raises questions that extend beyond Adeyemi himself. They argue that the sophistication with which the organisation operated warrants a thorough investigation into whether others may have assisted, encouraged or benefited from its
activities. Those questions, however, can only be answered through credible evidence and an
impartial investigation.
Against that background, attention has been drawn to the response from the camp of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. Within a relatively short period, three separate public statements were issued commenting on the controversy.
The first, by Atiku Abubakar's Senior Political Assistant, Demola Olarenwaju, called for the
dismissal and investigation of the Chief of Staff to the President, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila.
One hour later, this was followed by a statement from Atiku's spokesman, Paul Ibe, which questioned reported budgetary provisions allegedly linked to the PFIPC. Six hours later, again former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, through a statement signed by his spokesman, Phrank Shaibu, urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to order a comprehensive investigation into the matter.
The speed and sequence of these interventions have inevitably attracted public attention and suspicion and political commentary. Shakespeare's observation in Hamlet that "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" and Ian Fleming's famous remark that “Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action" have been cited by some commentators to illustrate why the timing has generated debate. Whether those comparisons have any relevance is ultimately a matter of opinion rather than established fact.
What should not be lost amid the political exchanges is the central issue: how an organisation that the Presidency says never existed as a lawful presidential body came to acquire the appearance of official recognition and engage with public institution
“As such, Afenifere calls on the media to take a closer look at the PFIPC affair and thoroughly examine its origin, operations and those connected with it. The media should continue to scrutinise the facts and follow the evidence wherever it leads.
“This appears like the de ja vu that US Congressman William Jefferson initially felt during the highly celebrated financial scandal that prominently featured the name of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar who was alleged to be the principal beneficiary of Jeffersongate.”
No President has ever been kind to pensioners like Pres. Tinubu. He didn’t just pay our arrears (of ages), he also paid the 10% increase on our pensions — NUP president
The President of the Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP), Godwin Abumisi, has praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what he described as unprecedented support for pensioners across the country.
Speaking during an interview on News at 10 following the Federal Government’s clearance of N39.6 billion in pension arrears under the Defined Benefit Scheme (DBS), Abumisi said no previous Nigerian leader had matched Tinubu’s record on pension welfare.
“We are very happy with the present government. No president in Nigeria has achieved as much as His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu. No other president has achieved as much as he has done,” he said.
Highlighting the administration’s interventions, Abumisi added, “He has paid 10.6% arrears of pension increase amounting to N39.6 billion. He also made available the sum of N758 billion for arrears of pension and gratuity for PENCOM. He provided the sum of N58 billion for the payment of arrears of pension of those on DBS, the Defined Benefit Scheme.”
He continued, “No President has ever been kind to pensioners like Pres. Tinubu. He didn’t just pay our arrears (of ages), he also paid the 10% increase on our pensions.”
The NUP president also commended the government for ensuring the regular payment of pensions since Tinubu assumed office.
“This government is very much committed to the welfare of elderly citizens in Nigeria. Since he took over, Nigerian pensioners and elderly people have been paid their pensions regularly. We do not have any more problems as we usually do.”
Abumisi thanked the President on behalf of pensioners nationwide and expressed hope that more welfare measures would be introduced.
He also urged pensioners to support the current administration, saying, “We should be loyal to this government because no other government has done as much as he has done. We should make it possible for him to return back to his position by supporting his bid to come back.”
Before Gbajabiamila wrote to Police and DSS in 2025 following complaints received by the State House from Nigeria Investment Promotion Council on the illegal activities of Adeniyi Mathew, unknown to the State House that SGF office had earlier allocated office space to the fake presidential committee. Unknown to the state house that even Accountant General of the Federation, approved Treasury Officers to the fake government agency. This is a serious institutional failure that must not be swept under the carpet.
This is not Gbajabiamila being the villain here. Gbaja acted and told security agencies to investigate based on report he received from Nigeria Investment Promotion Council. Adeniyi Mathew was thereafter arrested, charged to court and granted bail and the next adjourned date is July 27, 2026. If not for our complicated judicial process the case should have been concluded in court by now . Such kreemina like Adeniyi deserves no bail. Now he is at large hiding and told Channels TV he has medical problem . We know those old tricks. Security agencies must produce him .
Why is FALANA and ATIKU celebrating a known fr@udst£r like Adeniyi Mathew. For Atiku, we know he needs lifeline for his dead 2027 election and FALANA's anger against Tinubu government allegedly stemmed from his failed attempt to be the Attorney General under Tinubu . Buhari government even sent his name for security screening but eventually did not make his Attorney General and Minister of justice . He is probably super angry that Tinubu also did not appoint him Attorney General Minister of Justice . How do you suddenly wake up and say you are interested in defending the notorious Adeniyi to give him some semblance of hero status and make Gbaja villain in the court of public opinion.
We have seen letters indicating that one MIMI ABU , Director in head of service office approved staff employment for Adeniyi
We have seen letter showing Accountant General approving Treasury Officers for the fake man
We have seen letters indicating that Office of SGF approved office space for the fake man- Adeniyi Mathew
A systemic breakdown of Checks and Balances gave way for a fr@ud*tr like Adeniyi Mathew Not Gbaja who acted promptly in 2025 and reported to the security agencies. CBN must speak up. DG Budget must speak up . Chief of Staff to the President does not issue budget code or appoint letters to any government employee. Adeniyi Mathew allegedly duped Governor of Osun State (Non APC Governor) and forged Gov . Adeleke's signature and in the end EFCC was said to have recovered the money from Adeniyi Mathew and returned it back to Osun Govt, why did EFCC not charge him to court then?
Government officials dropped the ball at all points , that Jazz of Adeniyi Mathew must be very powerful😀😀😀

6. Baba Atiku will retire from politics
7. Peter Obi and his supporters will cry one last time.
We didn’t care provided we could buy a bag of rice at N8k.
Who cares how much the Government had to waste just so we could import cheaper while we lacked basic infrastructures.
When I said Alhaji Dubai is very shameless, are you seeing it now? He sold NITEL to his cronies who eventually ran NITEL aground within months. Worst part is the fact that Alhaji Dubai sacked all NITEL workers without giving them benefits, most kpai in agony and poverty. This same Alhaji is now criticising the government that is paying the longterm pension arrears and trying to contest against them.
Is that not shamelessness?
I had to remind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR of the reasons why he is the GREATEST OF ALL TIME when it comes to real reforms.
If you don't have patience, you can skip to the handshake.
SEYILAW TINUBU is in the building.
