Dear President Tinubu,
I do not know what this Professor is looking for in your hands, but whatever it is, please try and consider his request.
Since you entered government, I have never seen any of your aides greeting you with this level of a bent knee, except for Nyesom Wike.
But here is a Professor who currently heads a subnational government with roughly 7.3 million people under his leadership, bending so low that his forehead is almost touching your shoes.
Mr. President, please consider him.
If he can throw his own clansman under the bus just to please you, be rest assured that he is loyal enough to run any errand, as long as you are happy.

But how do you even convince a man who had lived in Nigeria in 2022 that Buhari was not a saint?
A man paid subsidy for his 8 years, managed to borrow ₦75.26 trillion between 2015 and 2023, sold fuel for 210 Naira as the highest price and cement for 4,500.
The same man, while paying subsidy, constructed and completed 8,352.94 kilometres of roads and intervened in the rehabilitation of over 13,000 kilometres of the federal road network.
He even flagged off programmes like the National Social Investment Programme (NSIP), Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme (GEEP), N-Power and National Home-Grown School Feeding Programme (NHGSFP).
He even increased the minimum monthly salary from ₦18,000 to ₦30,000.
Mind you, his administration is considered the worst since the inception of the 4th Republic.
I keep saying it: I have never imagined that a day will come when we will have to miss Buhari this much.

#ATIKU2027: BREAKING!!! INEC Refuses To Confirm The Exact Location Of The Chairman After 24 Hours, As New Intelligence Report Reveals That The INEC Chairman, Professor Joash Amupitan, Is Currently Outside Nigeria; The APC National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, Is Currently Out Of The Country, The Minister Of The FCT, Nyesom Wike, Is Also Currently Outside Nigeria; Alongside President Bola Ahmed Tinubu; Just A Few Months To The Very Crucial 2027 Presidential Election
The attention of "Atiku Is For The People" global movement, has on Friday, been drawn to a short sentence released by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, stating that its Chairman, Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan, is not currently in Abuja; but however, refused to confirm the exact location of the Chairman, 24 hours after we publicly demanded for him to appear on live television, to confirm his exact location to Nigerians, in the build-up to the 2027 general elections.
The INEC Director, Voter Education and Publicity, Victoria Eta-Messi, simply reacted in her statement: “The Chairman is on an official assignment outside Abuja. He can delegate powers to any National Commissioner.”
The clarification followed questions by "Atiku Is For The People" global movement and other concerned Nigerians about the whereabout of Professor Amupitan, after the INEC National Commissioner, Prof. Rhoda Gumus, appeared as the Acting Chairman of INEC, during an engagement with an African Union, AU, Delegation, at the INEC headquarters, in Abuja.
We had queried why there was no public announcement to Nigerians of an official handover by the INEC Chairman, especially at such a sensitive time, stating: “This raises legitimate questions about the Chairman’s current location, official schedule and the circumstances surrounding his absence.”
Even more troubling, going through INEC's official X account, we observed that the INEC Chairman had been in Canada, confirming that he is actually outside the country, the same time as President Bola Tinubu.
Why is INEC afraid to tell Nigerians the exact location of the Chairman? If it is a genuine official assignment, why the secrecy? INEC must answer these serious questions to Nigerians, to prove its transparency, independence and accountability, as the 2027 elections fast approach.
This is coming a few months to the January 2027, general elections, when public confidence in INEC is very critical.
Furthermore, we find it worrisome that this vague explanation coincides with the departure of key All Progressives Congress, APC, figures to Europe, as well.
First, the APC National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, commenced a two-week vacation outside Nigeria, on September 9, 2026, after what the party described as an exceptionally demanding first year.
One week earlier, President Bola Tinubu had left the country for Europe. According to Punch newspaper: “Tinubu departed Abuja, on Sunday, August 30, 2026, for a three-week holiday, with London as his first stop, before proceeding to Paris.” The Presidency confirmed the trip in a statement titled" ‘President Tinubu Begins Three-Week Leave.’
A few days later, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, also left for Europe, where he granted an interview via Zoom, on Arise Television's Prime Time programme.
Nigerians are therefore, asking: Is the INEC Chairman also in Europe, holding strategic meetings with the APC National Chairman, the FCT Minister and President Tinubu?
INEC is an independent umpire. It cannot operate in secrecy. We demand a full disclosure of Prof. Joash Amupitan’s exact location, travel dates and specific official engagements during this period. Nigerians deserve to know.
The credibility of the 2027 general elections depends on transparency. INEC must come clean to Nigerians. The elections must not be decided in secret meetings in Europe.

On this fight, I support Wike actually.
Agreements are meant to be kept in their purest form.
According to Wike, he agreed to support Tinubu in 2023.
There was no time he had any agreement whatsoever that since he supports Tinubu, he will be supporting the entire structure of his party.
Probably, that was the reason he never joined APC from the beginning.
The smartest thing APC governors would have done was to give Wike terms and conditions as at the time he was soliciting tickets for his loyalists from Rivers State contesting under APC.
But same APC helped him to disqualify every other person that didn't come from his structure from contesting the primaries, yet without giving any terms and conditions.
All of a sudden, the man is doing what he knows how to do best (organizing inter-party alignment) and you want him to stay and remain loyal to your party.
I ask again, is there anyone that pays a harlot for the night and suddenly expects her to start doing housewife roles just because she stayed over the night?
Lol.
