Atiku is an overrated politician…
No governorship experience
No Commissioner experience
No ministerial experience
No senatorial experience
Just a vice presidential position where he had no direct leadership role but used his supervisory authority to corner the country’s patrimony.

Great ideas only become meaningful when they are translated into action, and after two days of rich conversations, collaboration, and thoughtful planning, I am happy to share that we are now another step closer to making the Renewed Hope Baby Support (RHBS) Initiative a reality in Lagos State. With the programme's concept document now taking shape, I look forward to the next phase of planning and implementation and to the countless lives this initiative will touch by giving every child the strongest possible start in life. More so, beyond its impact on babies and their families, I am confident it will further strengthen our State's sustainable development journey and advance the people-centred vision of the T.H.E.M.E.S Plus Agenda.
My sincere appreciation goes once again to Dr. Mariam Masha, Mr. Daniel Adeyemi Adeboyejo, our partners at UNICEF, and every stakeholder whose insights and commitment made these deliberations so valuable.

Dear Ceejay @JohnOsaji
Yes, we are, sir. The coordinated propaganda campaign against it did not succeed. Genuine Lagosians remain committed to keeping their environment clean and ensuring a healthier, more sustainable Lagos for everyone.
Tomorrow, Saturday, 25th July 2026, we go again.
Thank you for your concern!

STATEHOUSE PRESS STATEMENT
WHEN WILL ATIKU ABUBAKAR REPORT HIMSELF TO PRESIDENT TRUMP?
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s relentless desire to become President of Nigeria has regrettably closed his eyes to the virtues of statesmanship, decorum, and propriety expected of an elder statesman. Instead of embracing the dignity and maturity that come with his standing, he continues to diminish himself through reckless public statements and desperate political manoeuvres.
It is baffling and disappointing that someone who has sought the presidency for over three decades now resorts to reporting the President of Nigeria to US President Donald Trump and members of the US Congress. In his latest act, Atiku Abubakar’s lobbying group in the US has submitted petitions to President Trump and the US State Department regarding a civil forfeiture case from 1993—a matter long settled, with no criminal conviction or finding of guilt.
This issue was resolved over 30 years ago in the United States and has been thoroughly litigated, explained, and rendered moot by the electoral mandates conferred on President Bola Tinubu by the people of Lagos and Nigeria at large. Reviving this matter today is an affront to the intelligence of Nigerians and an attempt to rewrite history for personal gain.
It is important to remind Atiku and his associates that Nigeria is a sovereign nation, not a satellite of any foreign power. Reporting the President of Nigeria to another country’s leader is not only inappropriate but also undermines the nation’s dignity and independence. Such actions are incongruous with the responsibilities of a statesman and are ultimately self-defeating.
If Atiku has chosen to disregard his own sense of self-respect and self-worth, he should, at the very least, show respect for the country he aspires to lead and the office he so ardently seeks. While lobbying is a legitimate part of American politics, employing paid foreign agents to peddle discredited documents against a sitting Nigerian President is not advocacy—it is an attempt to externalise domestic politics and undermine Nigeria’s sovereignty. Nigerians resolved this matter at the ballot in February 2023 and in the Supreme Court. That verdict stands, and Atiku's latest fishing expedition would amount to nought.
Furthermore, if Atiku Abubakar can spend $1.2 million on American lobbyists to report President Tinubu, perhaps he should also clarify his own legal standing in the United States.
He featured most prominently in the William Jefferson bribery scandal, a matter which saw the American congressman jailed.
Atiku, along with his former wife Jennifer Douglas, was one of the subjects of an elaborate US Senate Investigation, "Keeping Foreign Corruption Out of the United States: Four Case Histories". The report of the investigation, chaired by Senator Carl Levin, was released in February 2010. It documented how Atiku used offshore companies to bring suspect funds, including bribes from multinationals, running into millions of dollars, into the United States.
Atiku’s obsession with the presidency is driven not just by his marabout-fuelled ambition, but by a desire for diplomatic immunity and to evade potential legal issues abroad. Recycling discredited allegations and documents from the 2023 campaign will not improve his chances in 2027.
Nigerians have not forgotten the legacy of the privatisation programme under Atiku's watch as vice president. He presided over an egregious privatisation heist, selling national assets to cronies for peanuts and causing thousands of job losses and unpaid salaries and pensions that President Tinubu is clearing today.
A man with such a dismal record as a public servant certainly has no business asking for our votes. Indeed, if Atiku Abubakar were a Chinese, he would be rotting away in jail for his crimes against the Nigerian people.
Rather than present policy alternatives to address the country's challenges, the former Vice President has chosen the path of media theatrics and lobbying in Washington. The challenges Nigeria faces require serious engagement, thoughtful solutions, and leadership at home—not grandstanding abroad.
President Tinubu is unfazed by Atiku's theatrics as he remains focused on his Renewed Hope Agenda, stabilising the economy, attracting investments, securing the nation, and restoring Nigeria’s standing in the world. He is not distracted by political actors, perennial losers like Atiku, who now seek validation abroad.

Every meaningful vision reaches a point where conversations must give way to coordinated action. Over the past few weeks, we have continued to deepen discussions around the Renewed Hope Baby Support (RHBS) Initiative, and today, we reached another important milestone with the Inception Meeting for its operationalisation in Lagos State as the pilot for national implementation. Bringing together key stakeholders from across the State, alongside the team from the Office of the Vice President and our partners at UNICEF, we focused today's session on building a shared understanding of the initiative, aligning implementation modalities, defining roles and responsibilities, and strengthening the partnerships that will make this vision a reality.
What makes this initiative especially meaningful is its holistic approach to giving every child the strongest possible start in life. Through four critical pillars - Identity, Health, Nutrition, and Care - we are working towards a future where every child is registered at birth, has access to quality healthcare, receives the nutrition and care they need, and is supported to thrive throughout the first 1,000 days of life. These are not just programme components; they are the building blocks of healthier families, stronger communities, and a more prosperous nation.
I sincerely appreciate Dr. Mariam Masha, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Regional Development Programmes, Mr. Daniel Adeyemi Adeboyejo, Technical Assistant to the Vice President on Infrastructure and Investment, our valued partners at UNICEF, and every stakeholder who contributed so thoughtfully to today's discussions. I am equally grateful to all the Ministries, Departments, and Agencies represented for their commitment to this shared vision. As we reconvene tomorrow to consolidate our deliberations and chart the way forward, I am filled with hope and confidence that together, we are laying the foundation for a future where every Nigerian child is seen, supported, and given every opportunity to flourish from the very beginning.

This is the new bridge that Governor Ademola Adeleke & his Accord Party were singing & dancing about, after giving the contract to an INTERIOR DECORATION COMPANY. When Osun people criticised it they said it was propaganda. Well, he will lose the election on 15th August. Nonsense!
