Grand Corruption: Nigeria’s Greatest Threat.
The recent report from the IMF consultation further raises concerns about the scale of grand corruption under the Tinubu government. The IMF now reveals that about N8.83 trillion in expenditure undertaken in 2025 is not reflected in the budget. This expenditure is not budgeted and is therefore not under legislative oversight or administrative scrutiny. This is horrible.
N8.83 trillion is as follows:
1.About 2% of our GDP.
2.Over 35% of Nigeria’s 2025 N23.96 trillion capital project budget. In fact, the amount is more than the actual released capital funding for 2025.
https://t.co/Hta3LViCB8 is more than the entire combined budget for education (N3.52 trillion) and health (N2.38 trillion).
If such an amount is properly used and accounted for, it could transform Nigeria’s public health and education sectors. It could create hundreds of cottage industries that can provide jobs for thousands of graduates and build a solid foundation for economic development. But we cannot account for it. This is not an isolated incident.
This is a pattern of grand corruption that has become part of this administration.
We have a lot to worry about regarding the state of corruption under President Tinubu. The sort of corruption that is ingrained in total disregard of elementary rules of public finance management poses a grave danger to national security and the stability of the Nigerian state. The capture of the Nigerian state and the plunder of its resources are actions that undermine the basis of state stability and deepen poverty and state failure.
This recent revelation proves that the APC government is grossly corrupt, incompetent, and insensitive. With the growing poverty and the urgent need for significant upgrades to social and physical infrastructure, a responsible and responsive government would ensure that N8.83 trillion is prudently utilised to address these gaps. But not the Tinubu administration.
A few days ago, I called on President Tinubu to resign from office for incompetence, lack of capacity, lack of compassion, and failure to improve on his campaign promises. Some people thought perhaps the call was excessive. But with the daily revelations of pervasive corruption in this administration and its total lack of commitment to the welfare and security of Nigerian citizens, the only reasonable action is for President Tinubu to resign from office. The collapse of elementary forms of due process under Tinubu and the increased evidence of rampant looting of Nigerian public finances reinforce the need for greater accountability. It is now time for Nigerian citizens to rise within the law and hold this administration to account.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
GANG OF THIEVES: The IMF has revealed that @officialABAT and his gang of thieves cannot properly account for public spending worth about 2% of Nigeria’s entire GDP, roughly ₦8.8 TRILLION.
Off-budget spending, hidden from proper scrutiny and accountability. This is not a government; it is an organized looting operation! #RevolutionNow #Sowore2027
I don’t understand why Nigerians even remotely think @officialabat Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, @femigbaja , was acting alone in taking a N400million bribe to create a fake government agency. Come on!
Do you guys not know @femigbaja's history in Atlanta, where he was stealing his client’s money as a lawyer? And @officialABAT himself lived in Chicago, where his past was tied to drug-trafficking and a major forfeiture case.
So, please, spare me the nonsense that @officialABAT suddenly discovered he had a thief beside him! Do you seriously think Tinubu doesn’t know Gbaja? Birds of the same feather don’t need introductions.
The real question is not whether Tinubu knows what Gbaja is capable of. The question is whether the entire @officialABAT government is not a racket.
Peter Obi had a rich and lovely outing in Abuja today. He did a PVC drive across communities in Apo.
Yet, the so-called NDC Media Head, Theo, didn’t post even once or retweet any post promoting that outing.
He’s busy posting about Rotimi Amaechi and Femi Gbajabiamila. Lol.✍️
The Disturbing Reports from Osun State University
I have read with deep concern the troubling reports of soldiers invading students’ hostels at Osun State University, Osogbo, during which students were allegedly assaulted, humiliated, dispossessed of their personal belongings, and female students subjected to degrading treatment, including rape.
Every Nigerian deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. Our Armed Forces are renowned for their courage, discipline, and sacrifice in defending our nation. They are not known for such barbarity against the very citizens they are sworn to protect.
I therefore urge the military high command to conduct a thorough, transparent, and impartial investigation into these allegations. Anyone found culpable should be brought to justice. Holding offending personnel accountable will not only ensure justice for the victims but also preserve the honour and integrity of our Armed Forces while serving as a deterrent against future abuses.
A nation that respects human dignity builds confidence in its institutions. We must never tolerate impunity or the abuse of power.

This story is actually insane and nobody is talking about it, and the key witness has apparently died in a hotel fire.
Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi accused Femi Gbajabiamila of collecting ₦400 million from him for a ₦600 million deal for the appointment to become DG of Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), the Chief of Staff was said to have demanded 48% of the agency’s ₦24 billion take-off grant.
Prince Adeyemi said 48% is too much. There was a little disagreement apparently, and on 11 June 2026, Gbajabiamila, in his capacity as Chief of Staff, issued a public statement saying the PFIPC was not an official government body.
Prince Adeyemi wrote a petition to the police and named the middleman who was the witness to everything that happened.
The middle man, who is the key witness to the transaction died a day after that petition.
Prince Adeyemi wrote for the investigation of the man’s mysterious death, and also claimed there are multiple assasinanation attempts on his life.
He also claimed his phone was particularly stolen in one of the attempts and they are refusing to help him track it.
Gbajabiamila claims the company does not exist and that Prince Adeyemi is telling lies, but the 2026 Appropriation Act currently contains a ₦1.3 billion budget allocation for the PFIPC on page 50 and 51.
So how did a “non-existent”agency receive a budget allocation?
The criminality happening under Tinubu is abysmal.
Why is this not making the news?
Now that it’s been clearly established that my General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, is a hypocrite, let’s move on to something far more serious; the Gbajabiamila bribery scandal. He must resign and be prosecuted; he has no immunity.
Pressure must be applied now.
The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to publish the academic certificates and credentials submitted by all candidates seeking elective offices, saying such a move would strengthen transparency and public confidence in Nigeria’s electoral process.

My Vision for a Productive and Prosperous Nigeria
Today, being the 1st of July, 2026, I wish to humbly recall that when I decided to contest for the office of President of Nigeria, I pledged to place Nigeria on the path of unity and national transformation. Now, as the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, I will, in the coming weeks and months, provide insights into the roadmap that I am confident will help curb abuse in government, halt the decline in the quality of life of Nigerians at all levels, and usher in an era of unity, peace, sustained progress, and prosperity.
This vision is anchored on a commitment to unity, inclusion, social justice, equity, and the freedom of every citizen to pursue lawful dreams.
Central to this proposed roadmap are significant reforms in education and healthcare, which are at the core of human capital development.
Robust human capital is indispensable infrastructure for national progress. It serves as the fundamental capital upon which daily life, economic expansion, and the delivery of essential public services depend.
These are foundational areas that we must reform with energy and determination if we are to reap the demographic dividend of our youthful population.
From the outset of my presidency, we will establish a task force dedicated to drastically reducing the menace of out-of-school children. We will place greater emphasis on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) to support our drive for massive industrialisation, anchored on our agricultural endowments and value addition across value chains organised around industrial parks to be located in development zones across the geopolitical regions of the country.
Funding and improving the equipment of TVET institutions, through partnerships among government, the private sector, and social entrepreneurs such as faith-based educators, will facilitate apprenticeship opportunities in the private sector, similar to the German dual education system.
The situation in which unemployment remains high while Nigerian entrepreneurs establish businesses elsewhere because skilled labour is scarce must be confronted decisively. Doing so is essential for the common good and for facilitating our transition from a consumption-driven economy to a production-driven one.
Character and civic education, emphasising the values that foster trust - an essential ingredient for enterprise and leadership - as well as shared national values, will receive significant attention within the tripartite approach to governance that we propose.

(ALLEGEDLY) - The COS to the President is collecting bribes in order to secure appointments in parastatals for other unscrupulous characters but everywhere is silent. N400M per desk o.
$14.9 billion funneled to the Chagoury’s by @officialABAT in 3 years.
No competitive bidding. No adherence to the public procurement act for all the deals involved. Nothing for expanding the national electricity grid or new ports on our eastern maritime corridor.
Nasty work!
She's an edo girl from Benin kingdom, name "Osasere Okundaye", the fact you couldn't just congratulate her, but decided to create a fake yoruba identity in other to do so shows how bias and tribalistic you are...
🙏 how do we put a community note on this!!!
The chief of staff to the president is taking monetary bribes to hand out positions in faux government ministries but news circles are filled with jokes and memes about trivial issues when treasonous actions like this continue to affect and decimate the lives of millions.
The media isn't talking about the case of Femi Gbajabiamila.
Nigerians are not even aware of such a grave issue.
How was ₦1.3b released to a non-existent agency?
The fraud under Tinubu is beyond the human comprehension.
BRUHHHHH!!! THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS IN THIS STORY THAT AREN’T BEING TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH!!!
The middle man of the arrangement died a day after Prince Adeniyi sent a petition to the Nigerian police. The petition would have made them call the man to tell his side of the story.
Prince Adeyemi said the police should investigate the man’s mysterious death.
And that they should investigate the multiple assasinanation attempts on his life.
AND IN ONE OF THOSE ATTEMPTS, HIS PHONES THAT HAD EVIDENCE WAS STOLEN. HE ASKED THE POLICE TO HELP HIM TRACK IT BUT SOMEONE TOLD HIM THAT ORDER CAM FROM ABOVE FOR THEM TO NOT TRACK IT!!!
What Truly Should Be Our Priority Now as Leaders of a Nation?
This question has become necessary, given where we are today as a nation and where we are supposed to be.
While completing my INEC nomination form yesterday, Section E, Question 1 caught my attention. It asks: “Have you ever been adjudged a lunatic or been declared a person of unsound mind?” The answer is either Yes or No. That question got me thinking: Can we, as the political leaders of today’s Nigeria, truly say we are exhibiting the characteristics of a sound mind?
When Nigerians, including children and security personnel, are being abducted into the bushes, citizens cannot travel safely on our highways, several million Nigerians are uncertain where their next meal will come from, and several billions are being siphoned frivolously through non-existent agencies and projects, should politics really be our primary preoccupation?
A sound-minded leadership would have declared these existential challenges a national emergency and immediately mobilised all relevant institutions, security agencies, experts, community leaders, and other critical stakeholders to confront them with urgency and resolve. At a moment like this, the survival, security, and stability of Nigeria must take precedence over every other consideration. This is a time for decisive action, not political calculation or the pursuit of partisan advantage.
Further in the same Section E, Question 6, was: “Have you ever presented a forged certificate to INEC?” Again, the answer is either Yes or No. This raises another important question: Why shouldn’t INEC, in the interest of ensuring that our leaders are exemplary in following the rules and to strengthen public confidence in our electoral process, publish the academic certificates and credentials submitted by every candidate seeking elective office?
Transparency strengthens democracy and builds public trust. Nigeria’s problems are too serious for politics as usual. It is time for leadership defined by competence, character, capacity, compassion, and commitment to service.
