@AbujaPresident The minimum wage of 70k is meant for the least paid staff. Are you insuniating that gate-men, messengers, janitors, etc, have a car to fuel?
@Adebayoadesanya So, things are hard in Manitoba, too?
We should ask our government to do more, but that doesn't mean that they have done nothing.
Pressure should be on the state governors to do more for our people. Seems we are used to the state government being irresponsible to us.
@ennyola0015 That question should be answered by the governors.
They have autonomy to run their various states.
The father should not be blamed for giving his children their legitimate financial capital to improve their economy. Each child should give an account of his stewardship.
@charlesaniagolu It is impossible to satisfy human beings.
When the EFCC froze the Osun SG account, the president was accused of using the EFCC to favour APC. He intervened by asking the EFCC to suspend its action till after election, you call it interference. It is impossible to please ENEMIES
@DeleMomodu Chai
See "fear & trembling of imminent defeat."
You have alleged bias of INEC without proof and APC grabbing of Osun by any means. Dont forget the governor has control of his state, to a large extent. All political parties in Nigeria can not be trusted. You all are guilty.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
@DeeOneAyekooto 😁😁😁
You have used one stone to kill many birds.
Most opposition are hypocrites. Obi & Cardinal John, on different occasions, had asked the president to help the opposition party. He has granted their request by helping Accord Party, yet they claim his action is an overreach.
STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE
PRESIDENT TINUBU WELCOMES RESCUE OF 308 ABDUCTED CITIZENS IN KWARA, NIGER STATES, CALLS FOR STRONGER EARLY WARNING SYSTEMS
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu warmly welcomes the successful rescue of 308 Nigerian citizens who were abducted in different attacks in Niger and Kwara states.
One hundred and sixty-three of those rescued were abducted from Woro Community in Kaiama LGA, Kwara State, and 145 from Niger State.
The victims were rescued from the Kainji Lake National Park Forest in New Bussa Local Government Area of Niger State following a coordinated, intelligence-driven operation by the National Counter-Terrorism Centre (NCTC), involving personnel from the Armed Forces of Nigeria, the Department of State Services (DSS), and the Nigeria Police Force.
It was the largest rescue operation ever carried out on the same day by the joint security team.
President Tinubu expresses deep appreciation to the leadership and personnel of the security agencies for their bravery, seamless inter-agency collaboration, and dedication, which made the recovery of the victims possible.
"The successful execution of this intelligence-led operation demonstrates the growing efficiency and collaboration among our security services. I commend our gallant men and women in uniform for their bravery and unwavering commitment to safeguarding Nigerian lives," the President stated.
The rescued citizens are receiving first aid and essential medical care at the Medical facility at Wawa Cantonment.
Upon completion of their medical evaluations, they will be formally handed over to their state governments for comprehensive care and reunification with their families.
While applauding the return of the victims, President Tinubu emphasises the imperative of bolstering national security infrastructure to prevent future occurrences.
He directs security agencies and relevant stakeholders to immediately strengthen early warning mechanisms, enhance community-level intelligence gathering, and improve rapid response capabilities to avert similar incidents across the country.
President Tinubu reassures all Nigerians that his administration remains steadfast in its resolve to eliminate security threats, protect vulnerable communities, and restore lasting peace across every corner of the nation.
