Tinubu and Masari: The Quiet Force Behind APC’s Political Stability

By Ade Samuel

With the APC primaries now concluded, one thing has become very clear. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains deliberate, strategic, and intentional in the people he appoints to handle sensitive political responsibilities. His choices are rarely accidental. They are often guided by trust, competence, loyalty, and experience.

One of such strategic appointments is Ibrahim Kabir Masari, a trusted political ally of the President and a man whose impact is becoming more visible in the nation’s political space.

While many public conversations often focus on those in the spotlight, politics is also shaped by men and women who work quietly behind the scenes. These are the people who carry out difficult negotiations, build bridges, calm tensions, and help leaders make important decisions. Ibrahim Kabir Masari clearly belongs in this category.

Masari is not new to politics. With over three decades of political experience, he has built deep relationships across different parts of the country and earned respect from many political stakeholders. His understanding of political structures, people, and strategy has made him a valuable asset within the APC and beyond.

What stood out during the recently concluded APC primaries was the role Masari played in ensuring stability, coordination, and peaceful engagement among party stakeholders. Though his work may not have dominated media headlines, his presence was strongly felt.

Reports from within the APC political circle showed that Masari was constantly on the move, traveling across several states within a short period. He engaged with leaders, mediated in tense situations, advised key stakeholders, and worked closely with President Tinubu to reduce friction and resolve difficult political issues.

This kind of responsibility requires more than political knowledge. It demands patience, discipline, emotional intelligence, and trust. These are qualities Masari has consistently demonstrated.

One of his greatest strengths is loyalty. His relationship with President Tinubu is built on years of trust and mutual understanding. That level of trust is not built overnight. It is earned through consistency, competence, and commitment.

Masari’s ability to operate effectively behind the scenes while maintaining discipline and focus speaks volumes about his character. He is calm, strategic, and deeply committed to the success of the President’s political vision.

As Nigeria gradually moves toward the 2027 elections, strong political coordination will remain critical. The APC will need experienced hands, steady minds, and trusted voices to maintain unity and strengthen its position across the country.

This is why figures like Ibrahim Kabir Masari matter greatly.

In politics, not every important contribution happens in public view. Sometimes, the most powerful work happens quietly, through conversations, strategy sessions, conflict resolution, and relationship building.

President Tinubu’s decision to entrust important political responsibilities to Masari reflects sound judgment. It also shows the President understands the importance of having tested and trusted hands around him.

With leaders like Tinubu providing direction and experienced political minds like Masari supporting strategic engagements, the future of the APC looks promising.

The road ahead may come with challenges, but with capable hands working both in public and behind the scenes, there is strong reason to remain confident that all will be well.

THIS IS THE KIND OF NEWS YOU WILL NEVER SEE OUR NIGERIAN MEDIA OUTLETS OR OUR SO-CALLED ACTIVIST PROMOTING👇.

TROOPS OF OPERATION HADIN KAI RESCUE ABDUCTED NECO CANDIDATES IN LASSA, INTENSIFY SEARCH FOR REMAINING VICTIM.

Troops of Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK) have rescued 10 National Examinations Council (NECO) candidates and teachers abducted during an ISWAP attack on Lassa Community in Askira Uba Local Government Area of Borno State. The attack occurred at about 9:00 a.m. on Monday, 29 June 2026, while students were writing their examinations at the Technical Secondary School. Following the incident, the Theatre Command immediately deployed troops alongside strike and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft from the Air Component of OPHK to support a coordinated search and rescue operation.

Guided by aerial surveillance, troops made contact with the terrorists around Daggu, leading to a fierce firefight that resulted in the rescue of the 10 victims, all of whom were unharmed and are receiving appropriate care. Troops outmanoeuvred the fleeing terrorists, inflicted casualties on them and captured seven motorcycles, significantly disrupting their escape. Efforts are ongoing to rescue the remaining victim. Sadly, one OPHK soldier and a member of the Civilian Joint Task Force paid the supreme sacrifice during the operation.

Operation HADIN KAI, in collaboration with other security agencies and stakeholders, has intensified operations against the terrorists while reinforcing security around vulnerable communities and schools to prevent similar attacks. The military described the incident as another desperate attempt by terrorist groups under sustained pressure to target soft targets but reaffirmed its commitment to dismantling terrorist networks and restoring lasting peace across the North-East. Members of the public are urged to remain vigilant, provide credible information to security agencies and rely only on official updates regarding the incident.

I don't know what to call this if it's not mischievousness. I am sure Mr. Obi knows that this same road is currently under reconstruction, but his daily need to romance his gullible audience pushed him to this wall of deceit.

Facts About the Reconstruction of the Asaba–Benin Highway:

>>Timeline: The reconstruction of the 125km Asaba–Benin highway was flagged off in March 2025, with an expected completion date of September 2027.

>>Funding: It is fully funded under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model.

>>Scope: It features a 10-lane carriageway (five lanes on each side) spanning from King Square to the Benin bypass to ensure smooth traffic flow.

Additionally, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration is currently executing the reconstruction of over 70 federal highways and strategic road projects simultaneously. These developments cover all 36 states, including major legacy highway corridors, regional superhighways, and targeted bridge reconstructions.

Some of the key linking roads currently undergoing reconstruction include:

- Abuja–Kaduna–Zaria–Kano Dual Carriageway (350km).

- Kano–Kongolam Road (132km).

- Ibadan–Ife–Ilesa Road (103km).

- Sokoto–Gusau–Funtau–Zaria Road (275km).

- Enugu–Port Harcourt Expressway (56km).

- Benin–Asaba Superhighway (125km).

- Keffi–Nasarawa–Toto–Abaji Road Phase II (129.3km).

- Enugu–Onitsha Expressway (72km).

- Calabar-Ebonyi-Benue Trans-Saharan Superhighway: (Section 1 - 123km)

This is an eyewitness account of the state of the Benin–Asaba road project around March this year. I believe honesty is simply not in Mr. Obi's dictionary.

Akara, Kulikuli Empowerment, and the One-Sided View of the Olodo Uprising: Dissecting First Lady Remi Tinubu’s Empowerments in three years

- By Dada Olusegun

Public discourse in Nigeria has increasingly taken a troubling turn, shifting from constructive criticism to a performative circus of selective amnesia. The latest manifestation of this trend is the media frenzy surrounding the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu’s recent focus on micro-traders; specifically those who survive on small-scale culinary trades like frying akara (bean cakes) and selling kulikuli (peanut cakes).

In some sections of the media and digital spaces, this intervention has been swiftly framed as an attempt to "weaponize poverty." However, a look through the history of Senator Tinubu's public life reveals that this narrative is born out of a profound ignorance of both her extensive track record and the fundamental mechanics of Nigeria’s informal economy.

To claim that the First Lady’s interventions are strictly targeted at petty traders is a deliberate distortion of the facts. Over the last three years, the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) has functioned as a multifaceted national social platform, rolling out heavy-investment programs across various critical sectors. These interventions are well-documented, with specific dates and locations:

>Major Healthcare Interventions (April 2025, Abuja): Senator Oluremi Tinubu made a massive financial commitment by donating ₦1 billion to the National Cancer Fund to scale up cervical cancer screening, testing, and treatment. This was closely followed in August 2025 by another ₦1 billion donation for Tuberculosis diagnostic equipment at the Dutsen Makaranta Primary Health Center in Abuja.

>Empowerment of Military Widows and Fallen Heroes' Families (November 2023, Abuja): Under her social investment scope, the First Lady disbursed ₦250,000 each to 1,709 widows and orphans of the Nigerian Armed Forces—drawn from associations like DEPOWA, NAOWA, and NOWA—amounting to over ₦427 million to help them recapitalize or start businesses.

>Inclusivity for Persons Living with Disabilities (December 3, 2025, Nationwide): Commemorating the International Day of Persons Living with Disabilities, the RHI launched a coordinated program across all 36 states and the FCT, providing ₦200,000 business recapitalization grants to 250 PLWDs per state.

>National Women's Economic Empowerment (February 2025, Niger State): In Bida, Niger State, she flagged off the RHI/Tony Elumelu Foundation partnership, targeting 18,500 women nationwide with ₦50,000 grants each, alongside heavy machinery distribution like deep-chest freezers, generators, and industrial grinding machines.

Whether sorting out life-saving medical bills, providing industrial equipment, or handing out substantial cash injections to families of fallen heroes, her footprint spans the apex of structural support.

Even if we accept the critics' premise that the First Lady has now tilted her focus towards micro-enterprises like akara and kulikuli sellers, the resultant outrage betrays an elitist disconnect.

The critics, however often dubbed the online "Olodo armchair economists”, have zero idea how Nigeria’s informal economy operates. According to various economic metrics, the informal sector contributes over 50% of Nigeria’s GDP and accounts for over 80% of employment. The akara fryer, the kulikuli processor, and the petty trader are not just marginal actors; they are the literal shock absorbers of our micro-economy.

When you give a micro-grant or operational tools to an akara seller, you are not validating poverty; you are reducing immediate operational capital friction, securing food chains at the grassroots, and expanding household income. Mocking these initiatives as "petty" shows a deep-seated contempt for the actual working class of Nigeria.

Nigerians are no more joining long queues due to fuel scarcity.

All thanks to APC led administration under the leadership of President Tinubu.

The era joining long queues to get fuel is over by God's grace.
