CALL FOR RESIGNATION:
This man, CG Musa, was born and brought up in Sokoto State and spent most of his youthful years within a predominantly Muslim community. The Muslim community gave him shelter, supported him, and welcomed him.
Yet, his recent interview has raised serious concerns about his choice of words and the mindset behind them, particularly his reference to “our people.”
As a senior military officer, we expected that, as part of military orientation and training, there should be no room for religious or ethnic differences. The military is supposed to be an institution that brings Nigerians together, regardless of their religion, ethnicity, region or background.
So for that, as a concerned citizen, I am passing a vote of no confidence, I call on CG Musa’s immediate resignation as the Minister of Defense.

Why is petrol
Price still high ooo
A standard international barrel contains exactly 159 litres of liquid. [1, 2]
•Formula: \(\text{Crude Price per Barrel} \div 159\text{ Litres}\)
•Math: \(\$74 \div 159 = \mathbf{\$0.465\text{ per litre}}\) [1]
Step 2: Adding Refining Cost & Premiums
Raw crude must be refined into Premium Motor Spirit (PMS). Downstream models factor in a refining premium, operational margins, and port charges, typically adding around $10 to $12 per barrel (approx. $0.07 per litre). [1, 2]
•Formula: \(\text{Raw Crude Cost} + \text{Refining Margin}\)
•Math: \(\$0.465 + \$0.070 = \mathbf{\$0.535\text{ per litre}}\) (Wholesale Product Value)
Step 3: Foreign Exchange Conversion
Because petroleum is priced globally in US Dollars, the local cost is highly sensitive to the Naira exchange rate (currently averaging around ₦1,450/$). [1, 2]
•Formula: \(\text{Wholesale USD Price} \times \text{Exchange Rate}\)
•Math: \(\$0.535 \times ₦1,450 = \mathbf{₦776\text{ per litre}}\) (Ex-Refinery/Ex-Gantry Baseline)
Step 4: Downstream Distribution, Margins, and Taxes
To get the fuel from a facility like the Dangote Refinery to local filling stations, multiple local costs are layered on: [1, 2]
•NMDPRA Regulatory Levies: ₦5 – ₦10 per litre
•Transportation/Logistics (Nett): ₦30 – ₦50 per litre
•Marketer & Retailer Margins: ₦40 – ₦70 per litre
Even if you add 100 Naira and add trans port cost
It should be less than 1000
The lawless @OfficialDSSNG DG, Tosin Ajayi, shall be disgraced and forgotten, just as the former DG of that lawless agency under the Buhari regime was disgraced!His overzealous determination to prosecute and convict me on behalf of his boss, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, using Justice Muhammad Umar of the Federal High Court, will not stand the test of time. Their initial plan was to stop our party primaries, but when that failed, they resolved to convict me so that I would not be qualified to contest the next election.
Ironically, this is the same man the NUJ recently honored as “Man of the Year,” despite his operatives assaulting and intimidating journalists and lawyers and preventing them from carrying out their lawful duties in court. Yet both the NBA and the NUJ have suddenly lost their voices.
Power is transient; those who abuse it have no honorable place in history!

A minimum wage of ₦500,000 is not too much for Nigerian workers. Police officers, soldiers, teachers, doctors, nurses, and other public servants deserve a living wage and those in critical sectors must earn additional allowances for the risks, sacrifices, and essential services they provide.
Six attempts to silence him, but he is still alive! Whether Malam is with us or not, the mandate is clear: the masses will speak at the ballot. PBAT and Uba Sani must be voted out!
DAY 48
By Ibrahim Nuhu Saidu
72 Days and Field Notes from a Nation in Transition
People wait with files in hand. Some look tired. Some look hopeful. One man whispered: "If they can do this to him, they can do it to anyone." He was not shouting. He was stating. And in that statement, a nation's anxiety was named.
A friend asked: "Why keep following this story?" I did not answer right away. Then I said: "Because how this ends will tell us what kind of country we are becoming." He nodded. No more words were needed.
When the judge speaks, the room holds its breath. When the ruling is read, some exhale. Others tense. Silence after a decision is not empty. It is full of calculation of what comes next, of who gains, of who waits longer.
"I do not care about parties," she said. "I care about people who do what they say." She paused. "If he runs in 2027, I will listen. Not because I agree with everything. But because he has shown he will not bend when it is hard."
Seventy-two days of custody. Forty-eight mornings of reflection. One emerging pattern:
People are not just watching a case. They are watching for character.
And character, when displayed under pressure, becomes a credential.
Let us speak without decoration about what lies ahead.
Nigeria does not need another leader who promises everything and delivers little.
Nigeria needs a leader who has already delivered and can explain how.
If Mallam Nasir El-Rufai enters the ADC presidential contest in 2027, here is what he brings not as a slogan, but as a record:
From federal agencies to state executive office, he has managed budgets, launched reforms, and faced consequences. Governance is not theory. It is practice. He has practiced.
He has criticized his own party. He has warned about policies he disagreed with. He has accepted isolation for the sake of conviction. Leadership requires courage. He has shown it.
Seventy-two days in custody is not a campaign ad. But it is a test. How a person handles pressure, uncertainty, and public scrutiny reveals more than any manifesto. He has not broken. He has not bargained. He has waited.
Reform is not about good intentions. It is about knowing where the levers are, how they stick, and how to move them. He has pulled levers. He has seen them jam. He knows how to fix them.
At this stage of life, ambition is not about accumulation. It is about contribution. If he runs in 2027, it would not be to gain. It would be to give. And nations change when leaders serve purpose, not position.
The ADC is not the largest party. But size is not the only measure of impact.
Sometimes, the right platform is not the biggest one, but the one that allows principle to breathe.
Sometimes, the right vehicle is not the fastest one but the one that stays on course.
Sometimes, the right moment is not the easiest one, but the one that demands courage.
If Nigeria in 2027 needs an alternative that is credible, experienced, and unafraid, then the ADC with a candidate who has been tested could offer more than opposition. It could offer direction.
This is not a campaign launch.
This is not a party advertisement.
This is not a guarantee of outcome.
This is an observation: that seasons of difficulty often prepare people for seasons of leadership.
And that Nigeria, approaching a critical election, may need exactly what this moment has revealed.
Seventy-two days. Forty-eight mornings. One question sharpening:
What kind of leadership does Nigeria need to move forward?
If the answer is: tested, principled, experienced, unafraid then this story is not just about what is happening to him.
It is about what he may yet offer the nation.
However the legal process concludes, may the leadership conversation deepen.
However the courts rule, may the people choose with eyes open.
However tired we feel, may we keep our focus on what endures: a Nigeria that works.
The notes continue.
So does the hope.
