Tell me one thing that you can categorize as intelligent that Peter Obi has ever said, just one. As governor, he was a failure, and he's a liar! Everybody knows!

PRESIDENT TINUBU APPROVES COMPREHENSIVE FORENSIC AUDIT OF IPPIS, FEDERAL AGENCIES, MINISTRIES
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed the Minister of Finance and Co-ordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Taiwo Oyedele, to oversee and coordinate a comprehensive forensic audit of Federal Government systems.
The audit will include a review of the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS), Federal Government agencies, and their administration and internal controls.
President Tinubu’s directive follows the Federal Executive Council's resolution on August 19, 2026, in response to findings by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) on “fake agencies”, ghost workers, and other control failures.
The exercise will establish the nature and extent of weaknesses in Government’s control system, and determine how such weaknesses have been exploited.
The review will comprise two interconnected components.
The first will focus on a forensic audit of Government systems, particularly IPPIS and related payroll, personnel, pension and financial-management platforms. It will examine reported cases of ghost workers and payroll fraud, reconcile the figures identified by the ICPC, trace how fictitious or ineligible persons were enrolled, and review access, identity, biometric and bank-account controls.
The exercise will also examine the interfaces between IPPIS and other government platforms, including GIFMIS, Remita, the Treasury Single Account (TSA) and Sub-TSA, to determine whether fraud resulted from system defects, process failures, inadequate segregation of duties or deliberate circumvention.
The second component of the audit will cover all Federal Government agencies, departments, commissions, councils, parastatals and other government bodies. It will establish a definitive inventory of such bodies and verify their legal basis, while examining how entities obtain official recognition, budgetary consideration, correspondence privileges, office facilities and access to government systems.
The exercise will assess governance, procurement, internal-audit, and oversight controls across Government to close systemic weaknesses that could allow irregular entities or persons to access public resources.
President Tinubu directed that the exercise be conducted with the highest standards of independence, professionalism and forensic integrity.
The audit team will have access to relevant government systems and records. It will collaborate with the ICPC to ensure that the review complements all ongoing investigations, prosecutions and recoveries.
President Tinubu expects the exercise to go beyond identifying individual cases of fraud or administrative failure by strengthening the architecture of Government, closing systemic loopholes, improving data verification and reconciliation, reinforcing accountability, and ensuring that only duly constituted entities and eligible personnel have access to Government resources.
The exercise underscores the President’s commitment to strengthening transparency, accountability, fiscal governance and institutional integrity across the Federal Government.

FEDERAL MINISTRY OF FINANCE
PRESS RELEASE
28 August 2026
𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐄𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐆𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐎𝐅 𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐀 𝐓𝐎 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐑 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐄𝐓 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐒 𝐁𝐘 𝐅𝐓𝐒𝐄 𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐋
The Federal Ministry of Finance welcomes the confirmation by global index provider FTSE Russell that Nigeria's capital market will be reclassified from "Unclassified" to "Frontier Market" status, effective from the open of trading on Monday, 21 September 2026.
The decision marks Nigeria's return to the global Frontier Market universe, nearly three years after its exclusion in September 2023, when persistent difficulties in capital repatriation and foreign exchange execution made the market inaccessible to international investors.
The reclassification follows sustained improvements in foreign exchange liquidity, capital repatriation and market accessibility, and reflects the cumulative impact of the Federal Government's macroeconomic and structural reform programme.
The reclassification is an important validation of Nigeria's reform trajectory and a foundation for the next phase of the country's capital market development. It is a meaningful signal to global capital that our market is open, orderly and improving.
It reflects years of disciplined work across government and the private sector to restore confidence in our economy. We see this as a milestone, not a destination. Our ambition remains to build a capital market that is deep, liquid and competitive enough to earn Emerging Market status in the near term.
The Ministry commends the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Central Bank of Nigeria, the Nigerian Exchange Group, the Central Securities Clearing System, and all capital market operators and stakeholders for their sustained collaboration in achieving this outcome. Their coordinated efforts spanning regulatory reform, market infrastructure modernisation and investor engagement have been central to restoring Nigeria's standing among global index providers.
Looking ahead, the Federal Government reaffirms its commitment to working with market regulators and institutions to deepen liquidity, broaden participation and strengthen investor protections, with the medium-term goal of positioning Nigeria for progression to Emerging Market status.
The Ministry will continue to support policies that enhance the depth, transparency and global competitiveness of Nigeria's capital market as a key pillar of the nation's economic transformation agenda.

Hon. Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy

There were 52 Doctors in Anambra State when Peter Obi was the Governor.
Late Chief Charles Amilo, Ngige’s Commissioner for Information and Culture stated that Peter Obi abandoned the health sector.
Ghana's health budget is 1.2 billion dollars, their population is 31 million Ghanaians, that will give you 41 million dollars per citizen.
Peter Obi, HOW?
"Peter Obi didnt recruit a single teacher and didnt train old ones. He didn't pay minimum wage and didnt upgrade schools leading to classes with leaking roofs for almost 8 years."- Immediate Predecessor to Peter Obi 'buries' Peter Obi & exposes the lies of Obingos in 62 secs. 🤣
I am the messenger of TRUTH!
When His Excellency @CCSoludo said he was sitting on hard facts about how Peter Obi more than doubled the poverty level of Anambra State, did any of you refute that punch?
Nigerians can't and won't simply hand the reins of power to a dullard simply because you guys know how to cry emotionally and gaslight others into doing your bidding.
On economic policies: he's dull. Educationally, he's illiterate. Politically, he's a neophyte. Political goodwill: he's a pariah. Religiously, he's a bigot. Financial management: he's a conman.
On what basis should he be given the mandate to manage Nigeria?
