Congratulations to Arsenal on a well-deserved Premier League victory. This title is a testament to resilience, discipline, teamwork, and the courage to keep believing even when the odds seemed difficult. As a proud supporter, tonight is special. Well done to the players, the manager, and the incredible fans who never stopped believing. North London is red again. -AA #EPL
Even if I want to look away from Nigeria, I can't. Last week in Lagos, I had akara, Pap, eba, pounded yam, amala with Okro, ewedu, and gbegiri. I was eating in restaurants, and people greeted me with a smile. I was cracking jokes without trying to be a big man😂
At the church event I held in Lekki, I have not seen a happy set of people like that for a while. I rushed to the airport, and the guys there and in the lounge made me happy.
Oh, Nigeria, may the Lord increase your greatness and your peace. For any Nigerian reading this from every part of the globe, you will succeed, and even if you are not a Nigerian, I declare you blessed.
The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.
Je viens de m’entretenir avec Peter Magyar pour le féliciter de sa victoire en Hongrie !
La France salue une victoire de la participation démocratique, de l’attachement du peuple hongrois aux valeurs de l’Union européenne et pour la Hongrie en Europe.
Ensemble, faisons avancer une Europe plus souveraine, pour la sécurité de notre continent, notre compétitivité et notre démocratie.
Het Hongaarse volk heeft gesproken. Dit markeert een nieuwe stap voor Hongarije en de EU, met hoop op herstel van de democratie, rechtsstaat en Europese samenwerking. Mijn felicitaties aan @magyarpeterMP met zijn historische verkiezingsoverwinning.
Happy birthday, Aliko. Few Nigerians have shaped our private sector with the vision, grit, and discipline you bring to everything you touch, from building Africa’s largest industrial enterprise to lifting millions through your generosity. Your story is proof of what is possible when ambition meets purpose. On this special day, I wish you good health, and many more years of impact. -AA
I was impressed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio's speech at the Munich Security Conference. He indeed addressed a number of particular political issues, but what most grabbed my attention was his stress on the common culture that unites Europe and America. He cited Dante, Shakespeare, the Sistine Chapel, Cologne Cathedral—even the Beatles as expressions of basic cultural intuitions that still inform the West. But he pressed the matter further, insisting, in the spirit of both Christopher Dawson and Pope Benedict XVI, that that culture is grounded ultimately in the Christian faith. It is simply the case that reverence for the dignity of the individual, for human rights, for political freedom, and for equality comes, in the final analysis, from the Christian Gospel. Basic to his presentation was the conviction that Europe and America will truly flourish when each re-discovers its spiritual mooring.
I was delighted to run into my friend and Ministerial colleague in the Federal Executive Council (Cabinet) of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan from 2011 to 2015, Attorney General and Minister of Justice Adoke Mohammed. It was like old times again as we shared reminiscences of our time together serving Nigeria. It was such a great honor to serve Nigeria and work together under our boss, President @GEJonathan.
I welcome the political agreement on new sanctions against the murderous Iranian regime
And on the designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organisation.
This was long overdue.
« Terrorist » is indeed how you call a regime that crushes its own people’s protests in blood.
Europe stands with the people of Iran in their brave fight for freedom.
Well done, Super Eagles! @NGSuperEagles 🦅
You soared high in the green and white 🇳🇬 playing with heart, courage, and determination. You embodied Nigeria’s never-give-up spirit — bold, strong, resilient, and fearless. So proud of you all. 💚🤍💚
Good discussion today with European leaders on our support to Ukraine, its security, and the reconstruction of the country.
Ultimately, the prosperity of a free Ukrainian state lies in the accession to the EU.
It’s also a key security guarantee in its own right.
Accession doesn’t only benefit countries that join; as the successive waves of enlargement show, the whole of Europe benefits.
AJ,
I extend my deep sympathies to you following the tragic accident on the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, which claimed two precious lives and caused you injuries.
This immense tragedy casts a deep shadow on this season.
I sympathise with you and your family as you bear the emotional weight of this unfortunate incident. As a sportsman, you have always shown courage, discipline, and unwavering love for our country. These are qualities that have made you a source of national pride.
In moments like this, we must encourage one another as brothers and sisters with a shared destiny.
I pray for strength, wisdom, and grace for you during this painful period. May God grant you a speedy recovery and repose to the souls of the departed.
~ Bola Ahmed Tinubu
On this Holy day, I wish all Christians in Nigeria and around the world a Merry Christmas.
I thank God for the opportunity to serve as the leader of our great country, and I pray for peace in our land, especially between individuals of differing religious beliefs.
I stand committed to doing everything within my power to enshrine religious freedom in Nigeria and to protect Christians, Muslims, and all Nigerians from violence.
~ Bola Ahmed Tinubu
