We condemn the brutal flogging of Godspower Okedi for demanding accountability over an abandoned public project in Delta State. Holding leaders accountable is a constitutional right, not a crime. We demand the immediate arrest and prosecution of all those responsible.
“The EFCC Broke Into Our Home Early This Morning And Took My Husband Away Just Like That. They Didn’t Find Anything Incriminating In Our House. They Told Me They Were Taking My Husband Because I Recorded Them. I Kept Telling Them That The Way They Carried Out The Operation Was Unsafe And That The Manner In Which They Forced Their Way Into Our Home Was Criminal. They Broke Our Gate, Damaged Our Doors, And Destroyed Our CCTV Cameras.” ~ Lady Cries Out
“We won the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, but the process was tough. The NFA didn’t pay for our hotel, we ate the same meal for a week. We had to use our own money for accommodation and rented mini vans to stay in camp” — Former Footballer, Jay-Jay Okocha

Cristiano bows out of international football as a living legend 👏
The man they are calling a scammer and accusing of creating a fake agency has been seen all over with them.
The APC clearly has no regard for the intelligence of Nigerians.
IMF says that government spent 8.8 trillion extra budgetary spending that’s 2 percent of GDP and Nigerians don’t even understand their commonwealth and then people will talk about tokenism for 50k grant for Akara seller and you praise them
Why can’t this money be channeled to the poor!
"This is Sango's house, and that is the mosque. They are very close to each other, and if you look behind them, you'll also find a church. Since I was born, I've never heard of the Alaafin settling any religious conflict among these faiths here in Sango Koso land. We observe Jumu'ah prayers here every Friday, while Sango worshippers hold their worship on Saturdays. If you choose to listen to religious extremists on social media, that's your decision. We don't do that here. My advice to Alfas is to stop attacking other faiths if they don't want others to attack or insult Allah."

GANG OF THIEVES: The IMF has revealed that @officialABAT and his gang of thieves cannot properly account for public spending worth about 2% of Nigeria’s entire GDP, roughly ₦8.8 TRILLION.
Off-budget spending, hidden from proper scrutiny and accountability. This is not a government; it is an organized looting operation! #RevolutionNow #Sowore2027
The Chief of staff Scandal unfortunately tells you only little about the Tinubu regime❗️
The true definition of Organized Criminality is the the Nigerian Government ❗️
2027 = Nigerians Help Yourselves ❗️
@Go_SPORTS247@jujupunte I don't have issue with the timing either
But I won't subscribe to FIFA supporting CR7 by disqualification of goal at 90+13 when they could have ended the game at exactly 90+10 in favor of Portugal.
The offside call is technical (see attached)
EXCLUSIVE: How FG approved recruitment of 300 staff members for ‘fake’ presidential council
The federal government granted a waiver to the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) to recruit 300 members of staff in August 2025, TheCable can report.
Mimi Abu, director, organisation design and development, in the office of the head of the civil service of the federation, conveyed the government’s approval for recruitment in a letter dated August 7, 2025.
More details in comment section.
I just read the statement issued by Bayo Onanuga on behalf of the Presidency, which supposedly trying to put a defence for the Chief of staff, Gbajabiamila.
However, I think the Presidency's statement was clearly intended to shut down public scrutiny. Ironically, it has achieved the exact opposite. It answered some questions, but in doing so, it exposed even bigger ones.
Let us assume, for a moment, that every allegation against Prince Adeyemi is true. Even then, the statement leaves glaring gaps that no amount of rhetoric can paper over.
You are asking Nigerians to believe that one private citizen woke up one morning, invented a presidential agency, forged his own appointment, secured office space inside the Federal Secretariat, recruited staff, held meetings with diplomats, corresponded with government institutions, allegedly opened a CBN account through official channels, and if the official budget documents are anything to go by, the same "non-existent" agency found its way into the Appropriation Act with an allocation running into billions.
If that is truly what happened, then this is no longer just the story of an alleged fraudster. It is also the story of spectacular institutional failure. Either government systems were astonishingly easy to deceive, or there are questions that still have not been answered.
The statement conveniently glosses over the budget issue. That silence is deafening.
How does a fictitious agency appear in the national budget? Budget allocations do not descend from heaven. They pass through ministries, the Budget Office, executive review and legislative approval. Who introduced the line item? Who processed it? Who signed off on it? Who failed to ask whether the agency even existed?
Those are not political questions. They are governance questions.
Then there is the issue of the Federal Secretariat office. Offices inside government complexes are not roadside kiosks. How was the space obtained? Under whose authority? How long did it operate? Who interacted with the occupants? Who looked the other way?
Again, silence.
Then comes the most curious part of the story.
The Presidency says the very person allegedly identified as the link between Adeyemi and the purported appointment, Dolapo Babatunde Tanimola, had died in a hotel fire just five days before Adeyemi's arrest.
That is an extraordinary detail. Yet we are given almost nothing beyond it.
Was there an autopsy? Was there a coroner's inquest? What did investigators conclude about the fire? Were his electronic devices, communications and financial records examined? If he was central enough to be named in the statement, why is the public expected not to ask what became of the investigation into his death?
These are not conspiracy theories. They are the obvious questions any serious investigator would ask.
The Presidency wants Nigerians to focus exclusively on whether Adeyemi is an impostor. Fair enough. The courts will determine that.
But the Presidency cannot ask the public to ignore the conduct of government institutions in the same breath.
This is bigger than one man.
If the council was fake, explain how it entered the budget.
If the appointment was forged, explain how government systems repeatedly interacted with the supposed beneficiary.
If official channels were deceived, explain where the safeguards failed.
If there was no insider involvement, show the documentary trail that proves it.
Accountability does not begin and end with charging one individual. It also requires explaining how the machinery of government appeared to validate, accommodate or fail to detect what is now described as a complete fabrication.
The public deserves more than a carefully written press statement. It deserves answers backed by records, timelines and evidence.
Until those answers are provided, this matter is far from settled.
