So we’re now at the point where disagreeing with the Obingos automatically makes someone a “paid agent”? 🤔
Politics in Nigeria is getting very interesting.

Your Excellency, Mr President, Our Leader, & Our Dear Father,
On behalf of my family, I join numerous well-wishers across the nation to most sincerely congratulate you today on your 85th birthday anniversary.
As an elder respected statesman and a significant figure in our nation's political history, your enduring insights, commitment to national unity, and wisdom remain invaluable as we collectively strive to build a more secure, united, and prosperous Nigeria.
May Almighty God grant you continued good health, joy, peace of mind, and many more years of fruitful life.
Happy birthday, Mr President. -PO
1. It has come to my notice that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) obtained a court order on August 5, 2026, freezing the accounts of the Osun State Government.
2. I must state that I feel deeply embarrassed not by the EFCC's exercise of its mandate backed by a court order, but by the timing of the agency's action. This is so because every action taken by an institution of State, especially at the Federal level, is always credited to me, as the President, even when I may not have had any prior knowledge of the action.
3. Since assuming office, I have consistently maintained that anti-corruption and law enforcement agencies must be allowed to discharge their statutory responsibilities independently, professionally, without fear or favour, or political interference. I have therefore deliberately refrained from directing or interfering in the operational activities of the EFCC or any other investigative or prosecutorial agency because I firmly believe that strong democratic institutions, operating within the confines of the law, are indispensable to democratic good governance and the rule of law.

As President, I am committed to allowing institutions of State to function and take any action they consider necessary in the interest of proper governance without the need for any prior approval. Indeed, that is why institutions are set up by law with clearly defined powers. While I am yet to be fully apprised of the facts which informed the action of EFCC in approaching the court to obtain the said order freezing the Osun State Government account, I am not in the slightest doubt that the timing of the action of EFCC is inauspicious, and therefore I feel compelled to intervene.
Osun State is only a few days away from its gubernatorial election. Therefore, nothing ought to be done to give an impression that the EFCC or indeed any other agency of the federal government is being used to interfere with the election.
Based on the foregoing premise, I am duty-bound to issue a directive on this issue in consonance with the overriding public interest in preserving public confidence and the integrity, credibility, and fairness of our democratic process.
Accordingly, I have directed the EFCC to immediately proceed to the court to vacate the order and discontinue whatever action it has instituted against the Osun State Government in this regard

@Sir_Dillion7@TENIBEGILOJU202 You’re arguing against a point I never made. I didn’t say the man is his biological brother; I’m addressing those who claimed he had no traceable Nigerian lineage. The question is whether that claim was factual or not.
@KingJOOCouture@TENIBEGILOJU202 You’re actually moving back toward my original point now. Why are you making statements without properly thinking through the facts?
@Dikachi289705 @ChuksEricE Should I give you a shocker?
Moses even didn't lead the Israelites to the promise land.
They needed to walk 40 Days Moses alongside them toiled for 40 years. Sometimes Una argument ehn, e get as e be.

fPresident Muhammadu Buhari dismissed the accusations of Catholic Bishops who, in 2018 as we were preparing for the 2019 reelection of the President against the Catholic-backed Atiku_OBI ticket, accused him of not giving attention to the North Central while offering lopsided appointments in favour of the core North.
