PRESIDENT TINUBU GOES ON HOLIDAY AGAIN
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has once again left Nigeria for another holiday, this time beginning a three-week vacation in Europe.
Nigeria is in deep crisis. Nigerians can barely afford food and transportation. Insecurity is ravaging communities, and thousands of children are unable to access education because of insecurity.
Just days ago, about 600 Nigerians, predominantly women, children, and the elderly, were reportedly abducted during Juma’at prayers in Niger State.
Yet, at this critical moment, the President has left the country for another holiday.
According to reports, government expenditure on presidential trips and related travel expenses between June 2023 and April 2026 amounted to about ₦37.64 billion, with the President spending approximately 261 days outside Nigeria.
Meanwhile, only ₦36 million was reportedly released to the Federal Ministry of Health in 2025, despite a capital allocation of ₦218 billion, in a country of over 230 million people.
This is the calamity befalling our country today.
A government that can spend tens of billions on presidential travel while critical sectors remain starved of funds, and Nigerians are asked to endure worsening hardship, must not be allowed to continue.
Leadership is about priorities.
When citizens cannot feed their families, move safely, access healthcare, send their children to school, or sleep peacefully in their homes, the President should be more concerned about fixing the country than repeatedly leaving it.
I look forward to a Nigeria where our President can vacation in Kano, Katsina, Sokoto, Cross River State, Bauchi, Ebonyi, and many other destinations across our country.
The President of Nigeria should be the chief marketer of Nigeria as a tourism destination, as other comparable countries do.
Imagine the economic possibilities if our leaders, celebrities, business communities, and citizens travelled within Nigeria more frequently.
Tourism creates jobs. It supports hospitality, transportation, agriculture, entertainment, crafts, and small businesses. It brings investment and foreign exchange and allows communities to benefit directly from their natural and cultural assets.
We cannot continue to export our wealth and import our pleasures while our own enormous potential remains neglected.
We deserve leadership that puts Nigeria first; leadership that cares and plans for a better Nigeria. That is the kind of leadership that the partnership between H.E. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and me will bring.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
A President and the Endless Question of His Past
As a citizen of no other country, who has never sought foreign citizenship even when doing so became fashionable, my loyalty to Nigeria and my faith in her destiny remain unshaken.
Yesterday, 30th of August, being Sunday, I fervently prayed for our nation and for those entrusted with the solemn responsibility of leadership. I found myself deeply saddened by the direction in which our country is heading.
It is profoundly embarrassing that we have reached a point where a sitting President is asking a foreign court to withhold records concerning his past, particularly records relating to matters of legitimate public interest.
Leadership, in my humble view, demands the courage and humility to confront one’s history — to acknowledge mistakes, provide candid explanations where questions arise, and, where necessary, apologise and seek forgiveness. True authority is strengthened, not diminished, when a leader accepts responsibility rather than seeks to shield uncomfortable aspects of the past from legitimate scrutiny.
This becomes particularly important when questions concern educational credentials. Issues surrounding foundational schooling — primary and secondary — should not remain unresolved or be addressed primarily through legal proceedings. Nigerians deserve clear, credible, and verifiable explanations, especially when such had been submitted in the past.
My deepest concern is the example this sets for more than 200 million Nigerians, particularly the over 30 million young people in schools. The nation’s highest office should exemplify integrity, accountability, transparency, and ethical leadership.
An imperfect past is part of the human condition. What matters is the willingness to confront it with humility, honesty and deep apology, to make amends where necessary and, when circumstances so demand, to place the interests of the nation above personal ambition.
When will our political class fully appreciate that individual ambitions are temporary, while the nation endures? The Presidency is an office held for a season; the moral standards established by those who occupy it can influence generations.
Nigeria is greater than any one person, and the integrity of the Republic must always come before the interests of the individual.

The case is no longer whether Tinubu was involved in drug trafficking, but whether his drug trafficking files should be released to the public or not.
@inecnigeria should be ashamed of themselves!
There was a 5-day gridlock in Edo State because of bad road; you didn't feel ashamed.
Over 500 people were kidnapped in Niger State; you didn't feel ashamed.
Corpers were kidnapped; you didn't feel ashamed.
Fuel just increased to N1,310 per litre; you still didn't feel ashamed.
The president of the most populous black nation, Tinubu is begging FBI not to release his records; and you still didn't feel ashamed.
But you'll only remember shame when you see Peter Obi rolling with common Nigerians in the streets.
Well done, Minister of shame.
Two Presidential candidates.
• One is begging you to dig out/release any dirt you have on him.. & he’ll stop campaigning.
• The other is begging you not to.
But full grown adults want to convince you that the one with everything to hide is better than the one with nothing to hide.
I AM OF THE STRONG OPINION THAT NO GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE SPONSORING MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS FOR ANY PILGRIMAGE. THERE IS NOT A SINGLE BENEFIT PILGRIMAGE OFFERS US AS A NATION. SCRAP IT!!!
Further to my #OsunGuber2026 election night tweet reproduced (Image 4), I still believe that @inecnigeria owes Nigerians clear answers to 3 critical questions:
1. Why did result transmission freeze for nearly 3 hours (20:48 hrs–23:42 hrs ) on the Election night? Why the sudden rush of 236 results in less than 1 minute right after that (Image 1)?
2. Why were 51 polling unit results uploaded ONLY after declaring a winner (Image 2)?
3. Why are 11 polling unit results still missing on IReV even TODAY (Image 3)?

It's safe to say Maduro was forcibly removed by the U.S. government because he wasn't willing to be a U.S. puppet or asset, not because of the drug-trafficking allegations.
Otherwise, why the hell is the FBI shielding Bola Tinubu's records? 🤷🏾♀️
The director of data management of the APC presidential campaign council is Dr Bisoye Coker who is the DG of NIMC.
Our entire data is at the disposal of the APC.
It has never been this bad & brazen.
Tinubu has blurred the line between governance and politics.
We must reject this.
Dear Nigerians,
You have prayed enough and even over prayed.
If you want God to answer your prayers, elect competent leaders.
Shun tribal and religious bigotry and unite to remove the APC government.
The wickedness of this government is appalling.
They lack empathy, & shameless in the ways they display audacity and cruelty.
End.
The APC Campaign Council: Nigerians Deserve a New Direction
I have taken note of the recently constituted APC Presidential Campaign Council, whose composition offers Nigerians a clear picture of the choice before us in the 2027 general election.
The council brings together many of the same political actors who have supported, defended or participated in the present administration. Their coming together raises a fundamental question: what exactly are they asking Nigerians to vote for in 2027, a new beginning, or the continuation of the same system that has brought severe hardship to our people?
The truth is, I see the 2027 election as a struggle between the oppressed Nigerian masses and those who have benefited from, defended and sustained the system responsible for their hardship.
It is concerning to all well-meaning Nigerians whose across the country, their families are struggling with the rising cost of food and basic necessities. Young Nigerians face unemployment and diminishing opportunities. Farmers and businesses are struggling to survive, while millions continue to live with insecurity. Our education, healthcare and other essential public services remain under enormous pressure.
This ruling campaign structure presents another scenario between the oppressors and the oppressed. We must use it come 2027 election to reject continued oppression and demand accountable, people-centred governance. If Osun people can do it, so can all other parts of the country.
I particularly appeal to my brother, Senator Abdul’aziz Yari, who has accepted to serve as Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, to reflect deeply and reconsider accepting this responsibility.
As a former governor of Zamfara State and a prominent leader from the North-West, I believe Senator Yari has a clear understanding of the devastating consequences of insecurity, poverty, unemployment, displacement and the destruction of livelihoods in the region and the country at large.
I therefore will be surprised if in his good conscience, will lead a campaign whose principal objective is to secure the continuation of a government under which many of the people he once governed, and other innocent Nigerians remain trapped in these challenges?
There is also a serious institutional question concerning the inclusion of the Executive Chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service, Dr Zacch Adedeji, and the Director-General of the Budget Office of the Federation, Dr Tanimu Yakubu Kurfi, in the campaign’s fundraising and finance structures.
The leadership of critical public institutions demands neutrality, integrity and public confidence. It is therefore legitimate to ask whether the responsibilities of senior officials entrusted with managing public revenue and national finances can appropriately coexist with senior partisan campaign roles.
The government and the APC should explain how such arrangements are consistent with institutional neutrality and public trust.
Ultimately, no campaign council is more powerful than the Nigerian people. - RMK
This is giving Raymond Reddington vibes. The President of Nigeria is a Manchurian Candidate.
Nigeria surrendered its sovereignty to do as foreign powers please. In contrast, China sentenced the founder of Evergrande, once the richest man in Asia, to life in prison for charges including fraud, embezzlement, & bribery.
Janjaweeds no longer accuse Nigerians of demarketing the country. The demarketer-In-chief is Aso Rock tenant himself. Is Tinubu files more dangerous than Jeffrey Epstein's files?
What a SHAME !! A truly DISGRACED NATION.
The world owes Pablo Escobar & El Chapo unreversed apologies. Let’s keep it a buck.
Illegality and crime have now been enshrined into the Nigerian constitution thereby setting us back at least another decade.
Forgery is a crime.
Submitting false credentials is an illegality.
Removing them as grounds for challenging election results is promtes crime.
Maybe I’m wrong but I think a government that demands accountability for how you spend YOUR money, but refuses to account for how it spends YOUR money, should be immediately replaced.
‘We respect and value elders here.’
That’s why you don’t pay them pension or gratuities under they pass away fighting for it. No elder social care policy in whole of the nation. Just ‘ma and sir’.
E ma lo wa ibi joko si.
The President of Nigeria is saying that if the files related to his drug involvement is released his life will be on danger.
This is his prayer to the US judge to halt that FBI release of the redacted drug related files involving him..
And an animal is here in Nigeria campaigning for a character like this.?
Nigerians do you guys understand how damning a statement like this is?.
