I want to thank the First Lady for another 30 Seater Coaster Bus given to me today. Many times when I host programs at the Youth House like our recent 7days Energy Leadership Fellowship that had 100 young participant, we had to rent 4-5 coaster buses to ferry participants everyday from the hotel to the venue. That is almost coming to an end. At least now we have less buses to rent for our programs or to ferry some of our 60 staff at the APC Youth House when we need to attend campaigns or events etc. Glory be to God for this tool of service. When the Lord turns around the captivity of Zion, we shall be like Dreams. #MummysMenMovement

The Federal Government has flagged off the 13.9-megawatt interconnected hybrid solar mini-grid project in Yobe State, marking another milestone in expanding clean energy access under the Nigeria Electrification Project (NEP). The six-month project, launched in Damaturu, is expected to create thousands of jobs, stimulate economic activities, and provide reliable, affordable electricity to underserved communities.
Supported by the World Bank, the project forms part of the Rural Electrification Agency's 60.82-megawatt renewable energy initiative under the Nigeria Electrification Project. The interconnected mini-grids will serve communities across Damaturu, Bade, Nguru, and Potiskum Local Government Areas, complementing the Yobe State Government's achievements in electrifying more than 450 rural communities.

‘Oriade’ by Davido ends the week at #98 on the UK Albums Chart with 1,864 sales 📀
It pains me to report this, but 5,931 sales were disqualified from the project yesterday. Whether that was due to sales being deemed ineligible or an issue with how they were reported, it ultimately denied Davido what would’ve been his first-ever UK Top 5 album.
Those sales are unavailable… “dem no dey see me” 😭
Despite the setback, this still becomes Davido’s fourth UK Top 100 album—another impressive milestone for one of Afrobeats’ greatest ever artists.
Sometimes the result isn’t what you hoped for, but the legacy speaks for itself 👏
Fayose To Be Inugurared REA Chairman Tomorrow ...Meets Minister of Power
Ahead of his inauguration as the Chairman of the Board of the Rural Electrification Agency (REA), former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has met with the Minister of Power, Joseph Olasunkanmi Tegbe.
The REA Board is billed to be inaugurated 10am tomorrow, Friday, August 7, 2026, at the Maitama, Abuja, office of the Ministry of Power.
It should be recalled that President Bola Tinubu had appointed Fayose as Chairman of the REA.
The Presidency said Fayose would head the REA board alongside Alhaji Ahmadu Abubakar and Engineer Ilyasu Ibrahim Makinta as members and non-executive directors, while the incumbent Director General of the agency, Abba Abubakar Aliyu, and three executive directors previously appointed will make up the remaining board members.
In preparation for the inauguration, Fayose met the Minister of Power in his office today, a meeting he said centered on plans to ensure greater effectiveness of the REA.
"I met with the Minister of Power, Engr Joseph Olasunkanmi Tegbe, today, and we had fruitful discussions," Fayose said.
Someone has been disturbing me for work for almost three months … I finally got interview for the person yesterday and she failed to show up … Sometimes people are the cause of their problems

President Tinubu in a phone conversation with Governor Ademola Adeleke on Thursday informed him about his directive to the EFCC to lift the court order on the Osun State Government account
STATEHOUSE STATEMENT
PRESIDENT TINUBU DIRECTS EFCC TO VACATE THE COURT ORDER FREEZING OSUN GOVERNMENT ACCOUNT
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. 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.
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.
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

BREAKING: President Tinubu Directs EFCC to Vacate Court Order Freezing Osun State Government Accounts
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to immediately approach the court to vacate the order freezing the accounts of the Osun State Government and to discontinue related actions.
He stated that he felt “deeply embarrassed” not by the EFCC’s exercise of its mandate under a court order, but by the timing of the action. “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,” the statement read.
President Tinubu reaffirmed his longstanding position that anti-corruption and law enforcement agencies must operate independently, professionally, and without political interference. He noted that he has deliberately refrained from directing or interfering in the operational activities of the EFCC or any other investigative agency.
However, he said the timing was “inauspicious” because Osun State is only a few days away from its gubernatorial election. “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,” the President declared.
