Christian elders to Tinubu: Please don’t seek re-election — your performance disappointing
The National Christian Elders Forum (NCEF) has asked President Bola Tinubu not to seek re-election in 2027, saying his administration’s performance is “manifestly disappointing”.
In a communiqué dated July 9 and signed by Samuel Gani, NCEF national chairman, the elders said the federal government’s performance on national security, economic development and the wellbeing of the citizens has been “hugely sub-optimal”.

They didn’t come out to occupy Nigeria because they genuinely cared about the country’s wellbeing.
They protested because Goodluck Jonathan wasn’t a Yoruba man.

Reliable sources tell me DSS has arrested Samaila Ibrahim Kaigama, President of the Borno South Youth Alliance. Armed agents. Two vehicles. Taken for “investigation.” Whereabouts unknown.
You need to know who this is.
Kaigama is the man who brokered the terms of the Ngoshe “rescue” — and proved it was no rescue. The Nigerian government paid more than $4 million in U.S. currency directly to Boko Haram. The captives had been held three kilometers from a military base the entire time. Kaigama has the terrorists on tape confirming it. I spoke with him directly and cited him by name before the U.S. Congress.
He didn’t pick up a gun. He told the truth.
The Sultan has called social media a terrorist organization.
I have predicted the round-ups of witnesses would follow Trump’s declaration of victory.
They didn’t wait long.
Someone needs to find out where he is — right now.

An Open Letter to President Donald J. Trump
On the withheld FBI and DEA files concerning President Bola Tinubu of Nigeria
Dear President Trump,
I write to you not as a stranger but as a fellow alumnus of the University of Pennsylvania, and, for what it is worth, as a former tenant of a building that bears your name in Manhattan. I write because a case that should concern every American institution devoted to the rule of law is unfolding in plain sight, and your administration is on the wrong side of it.
On June 1, 2026, a federal court deadline set by Judge Beryl A. Howell of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia required the FBI and the DEA to complete the release of investigative records concerning President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of Nigeria. That deadline came and went after years of delay, missed dates, and what the judge herself described as "neither logical nor plausible" justifications for secrecy. The public record already shows what is not in dispute: in 1993, a federal judge in Chicago ordered $460,000 held in a First Heritage Bank account linked to Mr. Tinubu forfeited to the United States government, in a case tied to a narcotics money-laundering investigation. Mr. Tinubu was never criminally convicted; the forfeiture was civil, and the matter was closed without an admission of guilt. But the American people, and 220 million Nigerians, are entitled to see the full file a federal court has now twice ordered released. Continuing to shield it does not protect Mr. Tinubu's reputation. It destroys yours, and it destroys the credibility of the agencies withholding it.
The double standard is what troubles me most. Your administration authorized a military operation to capture Nicolás Maduro, a man who was never on American soil, and had him arraigned in a Manhattan courtroom on narco-terrorism charges. Whatever one thinks of Maduro, the contrast is impossible to miss: a foreign head of state who never set foot in the United States was brought here in chains, while a foreign head of state who was investigated by name inside the United States, whose money was seized by a U.S. court, is shielded from disclosure by the very agencies that investigated him. Nigerians are asking, reasonably, why the rule applied to Caracas does not apply to Chicago.
I am also troubled by whose counsel appears to be shaping your Nigeria policy. Massad Boulos, your senior advisor for Africa, built his fortune running a Nigerian conglomerate and has long-standing commercial ties in the country. A senior American official with deep business interests in Nigeria advising the President of the United States on how to treat Nigeria's leadership is, at minimum, a conflict that deserves scrutiny, not deference. Nigerians did not elect him, and his read of Nigerian politics should not substitute for an honest look at the facts.
Mr. Tinubu's own academic record remains the subject of active litigation in Nigerian federal court, with petitioners alleging the certificate he submitted to Nigeria's electoral commission does not match Chicago State University's own registrar records, while the university maintains he graduated in 1979. I do not ask you to adjudicate that dispute. I ask why a sitting head of state facing serious, court-documented questions about his past in the United States is receiving cover from Washington rather than transparency.
Meanwhile, the security crisis inside Nigeria festers. Illegal mining across the north, much of it run in partnership with Chinese operators, is estimated to cost Nigeria roughly $9 billion a year in stolen mineral wealth, according to U.S. congressional testimony and Nigerian government data. That illicit economy helps finance the banditry and terrorism destabilizing the north, and it thrives because politically connected figures allow it to. A president who tolerates that arrangement while his country burns should not also enjoy the protection of the FBI and DEA.
I do not ask you to convict a man in the press. I ask you to stop blocking a federal court order. Direct the FBI and DEA to comply in full with Judge Howell's ruling, release the files, and let Nigerians and Americans alike see what their own governments have long known. Anything less looks like protection of a foreign leader at the expense of American institutions, and it is not going down well in Nigeria, a nation of 220 million people and one of the world's largest oil producers.
You went to Wharton. You know what due diligence looks like. I am simply asking you to apply it here.
Respectfully, Kio Amachree
The man is confirming that Nigerian Government & Boko Haram agreed to have a 40- days cease fire program, therefore Boko Haram is on break.
Men! This country is gone 😭😭
Nigerian Government is constantly negotiating with terr0rists.
Our country has failed us😭😭

Nigeria is a joke
Press Release From the Office of the Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives
July 22, 2026
Clarification on Report of N1bn in 2026 Budget for Musical Instruments in Bende Churches
...Over 130 churches to receive N5m to 6m each as support
The attention of the Office of the Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives and member representating Bende Federal Constituency of Abia State, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu, PhD, CFR has been drawn to media reports suggesting that N1 billion was inserted in the 2026 budget solely for the procurement of musical instruments for churches in Bende.
We wish to clarify that this is a misrepresentation of the intent and scope of the provision.
The proposed allocation is actually N780 million after VAT and other tax deductions.
It is earmarked as a Youth Re-orientation and Social Support Programmes delivered evangelistically through faith-based organizations in Bende federal constituency of Abia State. Bende has 13 federal political/electoral wards and over 200 churches. The first phase of this support targets 130 of these churches averaging about 10 churches per ward, which amounts to approximately 5 to 6 million Naira per church. It is designed to equip churches to expand existing youth engagement platforms focused on character reform, and to deliver more impactful community outreaches.
The funds are intended to support the purchase of evangelical instruments and public address systems to promote campaigns against vices like the spread of narcotics, sexual offences, violent crimes while instilling discipline, values, peace, and character development among young people in the communities.
Nation-building must go beyond roads and physical infrastructure. Government must also invest in building the character and value system of the people who use the infrastructure using various value delivery platforms. Government is also employing non-kinetic approaches to promote peace, unity and progress of Nigeria.
It should also be noted that traditional institutions are actively playing their part in value formation. This is precisely why government, through its representatives, has consistently supported them with town halls and other community engagement centers to serve as hubs for the preservation and sustenance of the cultural values.
This emphasizes that faith-based organizations have a critical role to play in sustaining good norms and values in the society.
This development is not entirely new or strange. Faith based organizations in other parts of the country invest in youth development but it is a strategy that has not gained currency in the South East region. The provision therefore, seeks to adopt, strengthen and support the effort in Bende federal constituency, using the church platforms.
For the avoidance of doubt, the 2026 budget where this is domiciled is yet to be implemented. The selected churches will receive notification once the procurement processes have been concluded.
At the moment, the country is still operating on the 2024 and 2025 budgets. The 2026 budget is yet to be funded. It is yet to receive releases, which must take place before the commencement of procurement.
Similarly, we have also identified a technical error in the procurement description. A letter of corrigendum to this effect has been initiated for the needed correction by the budget office through the appropriation committee before implementation.
This intervention is not about instruments alone. It is about leveraging trusted community values sustaining structures to reorient our youths, promote unity, and sustain moral instruction across the constituency
We urge the media and the public to disregard sensational reports and to support efforts aimed at building both infrastructure and character in our society.
Levinus Nwabughiogu, Chief Press Secretary to the Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Federal Republic of Nigeria
