BREAKING: President Tinubu submits his INEC nomination form to the APC NWC and unveils Vice President Kashim Shettima as his running mate for the 2027 presidential election.
Tinubu made the announcement through Ibrahim Masari, his Special Adviser on Political Affairs, who also submitted Shettima's nomination form during a brief event attended by APC leaders at the Continental Hotel in Abuja.
Nigeria is not a real place. A man who left 14 General Hospitals without adequate doctors, 80 communities without schools, Local Govt without elected Chairmen & 45% of his state under erosion is talking about competence & capacity?
Hes talking about compassion but couldn't give the poor free education for 8 years? What sort of audacity & shamelessness is this?
Why is he allowed to contest against a man who built 6 times more schools, generated 13 times more revenue & even created more local councils than he did?
This can only happen in politics. In the fast paced corporate world, Obi's CV will only earn him an Executive Assistant's job under Tinubu!
The Lagos-Benin express way has been abandoned since Nigeria got her independence and no government ever touch that road, now Tinubu has decided to reconstruct the road
This man deserves a second term.
Before After
"Since 2023, I have seen this president push out five bills that, to a large extent, are transitioning Nigeria toward a more truly federal system by devolving powers to the states. In three years, the president has achieved what we could not in the previous 27 years of the Fourth Republic." — Political Scientist, Obafemi George

Under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigeria achieves major milestones: Becoming the first OPEC member to join the International Energy Agency as an Associate Member, breaking the 46-year Ajaokuta Steel deadlock with a 20-year NNPCL gas deal, adopting 112 as the nationwide emergency number, and seeing its equities emerge as the world’s top-performing stock market in dollar terms, overtaking South Korea.
Progress in action! 🇳🇬

"You can't fight corruption without seriously being absent from it. See the fuel subsidy as a tunnel of corruption, I see multiple exchange rates as a style low of corruption... As sub-nationals and other agencies of government are doing well as the beneficiary of a good economic focus and a great vision, I won't quit. I will keep on pushing."
- President Bola Ahmed Tinubu
We have noticed footprints of foreign jihadists across our borders; however, I'd like to assure us [Nigerians] that the Nigerian army is on the alert and equal to the task.

📌The Federal Government says Nigeria is witnessing its most ambitious road infrastructure expansion programme under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's @officialABAT#RenewedHope Agenda, with the construction of four legacy superhighways spanning approximately 3,000 kilometres across the country's six geopolitical zones.
The flagship highway projects are complemented by hundreds of ongoing federal road rehabilitation, expansion and upgrade works in every state of the federation, aimed at improving connectivity and accelerating economic growth.
According to the Presidency, the massive investment in road infrastructure is designed to open up the country for commerce, agriculture, tourism and investment, while enhancing the efficient movement of people and goods across Nigeria.
The administration maintains that the projects underscore its commitment to building a modern transportation network that will drive national prosperity and support long-term economic development.

Petrol and cooking gas prices have decreased this week and are set for further reductions next week. Am I lying? Of course not! You can fact-check me. You know it is true. But you did not praise President Tinubu. Yet, if the reverse happens and they increase, you will be the first to criticise the President.
Also, the International Institute for Management Development World Competitiveness Ranking 2026 listed Nigeria as the best-performing economy in Africa bar none. Again, you did not celebrate President Tinubu. But God forbid that the IMD ranked us as the worst-performing economy in Africa, you would have broken the Internet.
Look, many good things are happening in Nigeria under His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The challenge is that you have confirmation bias against Nigeria and prefer to seek out negative information about your country.
That is why you, who are either in school or have a brother, sister, or cousin attending a university, fail to give credit to President Tinubu for providing Nigeria with a strike-free academic calendar for three years for the first time.
While you were mocking the First Lady's Akara economy, she has quietly empowered tens of thousands of women to fry Akara, roast corn, and process garri. She is a visionary who knows that it is better to be busy doing something small than to be jobless and talking about something big.
An Iya Alakara is better than an Iya Gbeborun!
Nigeria is making astronomical progress. Take off your glasses of negativity so you can see it.

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?
STATEHOUSE STATEMENT
PRESIDENT TINUBU'S SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO ALHAJI GANIYU KOLAPO OSENI
Goodnight, Alhaji Kola Oseni, goodnight, my brother
It is with a heavy heart and deep sadness that I received the news of Alhaji Kola Oseni's passing. Though he is no longer with us, the memories of the time we shared and the legacy he left will endure.
Alhaji Kola Oseni was a visionary administrator, an elder statesman, a progressive politician, and a trailblazer.
His inspiring leadership, vision and industry stood him apart. He was restless in his determination to do many things for our people
Kola Oseni's immense contributions, first as organising secretary of Chief Obafemi Awolowo’s Unity Party of Nigeria in Lagos in the Second Republic, laid the foundation for the establishment of the Lagos State Printing Corporation, among others, for which a central mosque in the company was recently dedicated in his name.
To me, however, he was much more than that. He was a leader, my ally, my comrade, a friend and a brother rolled into one.
He brought me into politics and stood by me along with others to become the Senator representing Lagos West and later the governor of our Lagos State.
We shared good moments and also made sacrifices for our country and our people. I can never forget all we went through together in the struggle to restore democracy in our land.
Kola Oseni was a warrior for democracy. He believed in the ideals of democracy and good governance and fought for them.
Together, we fought for the sanctity of the June 12 election won by the late Bashorun Moshood Abiola, and together, we struggled to end military dictatorship in the land.
In 2022, when I indicated interest in contesting for the presidency, Kola Oseni blessed my aspiration and offered prayers. But he could do little because by then he had relocated to America.
As President, I'm implementing some of the ideas and reforms we discussed, determined to make Nigeria better and stronger.
Thank you for your service to Lagos State. Thank you for your service to Nigeria. Thank you for being a brother and a friend and for standing by me over the years.
Indeed, a brother and a bosom friend has fallen. An Iroko among us has fallen. I give thanks to Allah that Alhaji Oseni lived well, lived to an advanced age, and left behind worthy children.
I will never forget Kola Oseni. I will never forget all that he stood for. I pray that Almighty Allah comfort and protect his immediate family, particularly the wife and children. May they have the fortitude and strength to continue from where he stopped.
As Kola Oseni's remains are laid to rest, Remi and I wish him eternal rest. May Almighty Allah grant him the best part of Aljanna.

This situation is quite concerning.
Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to the President, claims that the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) does not exist within the structure of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
However, this very council is listed in the budget of the Presidency, not in some distant ministry or agency; it's allocated within the budget of the Presidency itself.
This raises two possibilities: either the Presidency is unaware of its own budget, which is meant for its own operations, or the Secretary to the Federal Government is being dishonest.
What surprises me is that the Secretary is making a definitive statement on an issue that can be easily verified. I've attached a screenshot from the Federal Budget Office, which shows what the National Assembly voted on and what the President approved.
The amount in question is N1.3 billion.
We will be closely observing how the President responds to this situation.
