Can a man who turned 49 in 2001 become 90 just 25 years later? Atiku doesn’t need to be mischievous or lie brazenly. He is throwing everything at this election which is understandable because he is about to be retired. But he should stop lying and being so desperate.
At the invitation of His Highness Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan (@MohamedBinZayed), I am in Abu Dhabi for Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, where today I witnessed the signing of the Nigeria-United Arab Emirates Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement alongside His Highness, the President of the United Arab Emirates.
This agreement is the result of sustained and disciplined work led by Minister Dr Jumoke Oduwole for Nigeria and by Minister Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi for the UAE. I commend both ministers and their teams for the seriousness and clarity that brought these negotiations to a conclusion.
For Nigerians, this agreement is not abstract. It opens duty-free access for thousands of Nigerian products into the UAE, expands opportunities for our exporters, manufacturers, and service providers, and gives UAE investors clearer confidence to back Nigeria’s productive economy. This comprehensive agreement also supports our industrialisation and diversification goals and strengthens Nigeria’s position as a gateway for trade and investment into Africa.
This is the work of economic reform, purposeful engagement and measured partnerships. The outcomes will serve Nigeria’s long-term national interest.
May the renewed relationship between Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates continue to yield sustained dividends for both nations and our peoples.
~ Bola Ahmed Tinubu
President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
How this man became a governor still baffled me. How can a former governor behave like a primary school child? Shameless man. Stupid question, can you imagine, "where is the president of the FRN'? I feel like slapping him😂😂
Where is the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria?
This is not just a question; it’s a critical demand for accountability in a national emergency. As we approach the end of this year, Nigeria will be home to approximately 140 million people living in extreme poverty—the highest number in the world. We are grappling with one of the hungriest populations globally, staggering insecurity, an unemployment rate exceeding 80 million among our youth, and one of the worst places to be born, with infant mortality rates worse than those of a nation seven times our size.
In the midst of this chaos, where has our President been? Spending 196 days abroad in 2025 alone—more than he has spent within his own country, at a time when we face profound crises.
Since December 2025, Nigerians have not heard a word from their President. Reports indicate he opted for a holiday in Europe while the nation was plunged into a New Year marked by hunger, anxiety, and uncertainty. There was no New Year address, no national broadcast, no leadership voice to provide reassurance or guidance.
This lack of presence starkly contrasts with what we see in comparable developing nations where leaders step up in times of crisis. In Nigeria, following U.S. military strikes on our soil, our President remained silent. Instead of directly addressing the nation, Nigerians learned about these critical events from foreign media, American officials, and the vague communications from the Presidency’s aides known for their propaganda, rather than from their own leader.
This is not governance; it’s neglect. The President was seen abroad yet again for another summit while remaining absent from his own country when he is needed the most. Earlier this year, he even sent an AI-generated image to the nation instead of addressing his people face-to-face.
Are we to believe Nigeria is being governed, or is it merely being managed from elsewhere? Leadership is not simply issuing press releases; it’s about standing before the people, engaging with them, and offering clarity.
We are not asking for perfection; we demand presence. Nigerians are eager to hear from their President through direct media briefings. They deserve to understand the state of their country. You cannot run Nigeria like a personal business or a private club; it is imperative to rebuild and grow our economy through unity and clarity.
Progress is impossible without unity and consensus, and it begins with strong leadership that sets the tone. No policy, reform, economic plan, or security measure can thrive in a divided nation. When leadership withdraws, unity falters, and the fabric of our society unravels under the weight of mistrust and division.
In a time of crisis, the absence of leadership is not just troubling; it is perilous. Silence in the face of crisis is the loudest form of failure.
A New Nigeria is not just POssible; it is essential. -PO
If the news had been, “PZ Cussons advances plans to sell African subsidiaries, cites unfavourable economic, currency trends in Nigeria” we’d be hearing from Bangladesh and India this afternoon.
@Kingprince006 Tinubu should explain to Nigerian what he is doing with our money. It’s the most basic of all leadership expectations.
Where has our money been going since he took over?
There will be a heavy resistance to Tinubu’s planned 2026 tax regime. And I’ll gladly be in front of it.
You want to tax us, first show us what you’ve done with all you’ve taken. I won’t pay for Seyi’s bloated security details, nor Remi’s extravagant lifestyle.
ACCOUNTABILITY!
Dear @BusinessDayNg,
Nigeria’s Company Income Tax (CIT) rate has been 30% for the past 30 years (since 1996). So the rate is not new. What is new is that under the new tax laws, Nigeria is set to reduce the CIT rate from 30% to 25%.
In many jurisdictions, even a 1% cut in CIT would be headline news. Yet we seem oddly determined to frame positive reforms negatively. Why not a headline that reads:
“𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐅𝐃𝐈 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐮𝐭 𝐂𝐈𝐓 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 30% 𝐭𝐨 25% 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 2026.”

Is this a joke?🙈. No matter how you look at this circus, it's the men demarketing the female nominees. It's not fair! Those male Committee members were unnecessarily intrusive. They didn't even allow the nominees to present themselves properly to Nigerians. The whole screening looks unserious, utterly childish. I have watched how screening is done in the US. Nominees are grilled. It's a serious business! Well, congratulations 🎊 to them. #womensupportingwomen
Well-meaning IPOB members should pause and reflect—not Well Meaning Nigerians.
This is the same Kanu who gave orders that led to the painful deaths of many in the South East: Dr. Dora Akunyili’s husband, the female soldier and her husband, the policewoman, and hundreds of policemen burnt by the so-called Unknown Gunmen.
And since you cant come out clean to condemn their activities rather than defend them, may their spirit haunt your political ambitions forever.

Oni Jere Peter Obi.
I honestly don’t have to say much more on this matter because myself and many others have already said enough for now. The only concern here is that what Peter Obi has stated here from the very first paragraph to the last is exactly what Sheikh Ahmed Gumi has been advocating for bandits “dialogue, constructive engagement and inclusivity.”
We strongly disagreed with the Sheikh on his pursuit of amnesty for these terrorists, who have inflicted immense suffering on innocent individuals. Yet, now you are pushing for the very same approach for a convicted international terrorist, Nnamdi Kanu.
With due respect, you are also a terrorist apologist, Sir.
He lost decorum as a President of America. You guys should be ashamed of him as your President.
Too arrogant and full of himself, a racist like him shouldn't have a near government. What a shame!
