NewsBREAKING:

Fayose releases evidence Makinde got N50bn from Tinubu, reveals alleged diversion of fundsPublished on December 28, 2025By Seun Opejobi


Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has shared documents he says prove that Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, received N50 billion from the federal government led by President Bola Tinubu.


According to Fayose, the money was approved as emergency support after the deadly explosion that occurred in Ibadan in January 2024.

Governor Makinde had earlier denied this accusation and challenged Fayose to provide proof.


In response, Fayose released the documents and claimed that only N4.5 billion from the funds was given to people affected by the explosion.

He alleged that the remaining money was used to support Makinde’s alleged plan to run for president.


In a statement he signed himself, Fayose said he made the documents public so Nigerians could decide for themselves whether the Oyo State Government has been truthful.

Fayose also dared Makinde to take legal action against him, while insisting that there are records showing that other financial support sent to Oyo State by Tinubu’s administration was never disclosed to the public.

Additionally, Fayose claimed he has documents revealing the true Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of Oyo State, which he said is different from what the governor has publicly stated.


He added that he is confident in his claims and would not make such statements without evidence, saying he still has more documents he may release later if needed.

Fayose said: “Meanwhile, only N4.5bn was released to victims of the Ibadan Explosion. Rather, he diverted this fund and many others to his Presidential ambition, which is the reason for the crisis in the PDP and his attacks on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his government.
‎
‎ “Also, there are documentary evidences on the actual Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of Oyo State, as against Governor Makinde’s claim, but we will keep our gunpowder dry for now. My name is still Ayo Fayose, I don’t say what I can’t prove.”

Thank you Mr President

This is highly commendable. Thank you Mr President for leading the war again terrorism in Nigeria

Four Attack Helicopters Will Arrive Soon From The United States - President Tinubu Reveals
Tori News
a day ago

The President, however, stated that the delays were affecting the public’s perception of the administration’s commitment to addressing the security challenges.

Bola Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu has announced that four attack helicopters will soon be delivered from the United States as the country grapples with rising insecurity.


Speaking at a meeting with a delegation of the Christian Association of Nigeria, led by its President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, at his Lagos residence, on Friday, Dec. 26, Tinubu revealed that the Federal Government had ordered four attack helicopters from the U.S, adding that they will arrive in the country “soon”.

He said: “Our orders for four attack helicopters from the United States of America will take some time to arrive. We have approached Turkey for assistance.”

The President, however, stated that the delays were affecting the public’s perception of the administration’s commitment to addressing the security challenges.


He also said community and state police will become a reality.

“Community and State Police will be a reality once the National Assembly completes the required legislative inputs; Military hardware is difficult to replace. It is expensive and not available off the shelf,” he added


He said the government was not relenting in its efforts to return the nation to peace and prosperity, despite the guerrilla tactics of the bandits and insurgents.

This comes after Trump took to Truth Social on Thursday, Dec. 25, to announce the US had struck in North-West Nigeria, during which several terrorists were k!lled.


The Nigerian government later confirmed the attacks and said they were carried out in collaboration with the US.

According to Trump, the operation, which targeted militants responsible for the killing of “innocent Christians”, was ordered by him in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief of the United States.

“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in North-West Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries!” Trump posted.


The Nigerian Government also reacted to the military operation through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, saying it was a collaboration.

“Nigerian authorities remain engaged in structured security cooperation with international partners, including the United States of America, in addressing the persistent threat of terrorism and violent extremism.

“This has led to precision hits on terrorist targets in Nigeria by air strikes in the North-West,” spokesperson of the Ministry, Kimiebi Imomotimi Ebienfa, said in a statement on Friday.

oalandAgents2:
I detected no lies !
When IPOB supporters was cheering Kanu on as he was inciting attacks on police stations, police checkpoints and any individual working in the police or military, they were inadvertently cultivating a culture of criminality for the IPOB movement.

Then Kanu set up his own security for the East but said that they are to base in the bush.
This made it easy for criminals, kidnappers and organ harvesters who normally hide in the butch to gain legitimacy by hiding under the cloak of IPOB Biafra agitation.

Ibadan Explosion: Makinde Didn’t Tell Nigerians About Tinubu’s N50bn Support — Fayose
Leadership
6 hours ago

Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has accused Oyo State Governor, Engr Seyi Makinde of omitting details of the N50 billion reportedly given by President Bola Tinubu as intervention and financial support to Oyo State for the January 2024 explosion that rocked part of Bodija, Ibadan, during his recent media chat.


Fayose made the allegation during an interview on TVC News while reacting to comments made by Makinde where the Oyo State Governor expressed dissatisfaction with Tinubu over the rejection of his ministerial nominee.

Makinde had said the President told him that an indigene of Oyo State was needed for a ministerial appointment, but despite submitting a qualified candidate, the slot was eventually given to someone else.

Responding, Fayose described Governor Makinde’s account as incomplete, insisting that the governor omitted key details of the president’s intervention in the state.


“He wanted the minister to be appointed. Circumstances did not allow you to get that slot,” Fayose said.

“But you did not tell Nigerians you got the prerogative, at the mercy of Mr President, you got a N50 billion in support of the explosion in Ibadan. He never said that to Nigeria,” Fayose stated.


According to Fayose, the president could have limited the support to a lesser amount but chose otherwise.

“So, the president can say the explosion is not worth more than N10 billion. The president went ahead and gave you the window to be able to contain those challenges and give you N50 billion,” he said.


“That N50 billion did not come into your covers of Oyo State. It came with you coming to interface with the president because you came and said you met with the president,” he added.

Fayose also criticised Makinde for selectively recounting details of his meeting with President Tinubu.

“You only said a part where you said the president told you that go and organise APC for me, and ‘I said I cannot organise’. But you did not tell Nigerians what the president did for you and did for the good people of your state,” Fayose added.

“Assassins, Arsonists, and Organ Traffickers Became ‘Fighters for Biafran Liberation” —Joe Igbokwe
ToriCentre
a day ago


Joe Igbokwe has sharply criticized Nnamdi Kanu and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), asserting that the movement blurred the line between crime and political activism. In a Facebook post that has generated significant attention, Igbokwe wrote, “Political assassins, arsonists, and organ traffickers became ‘fighters for Biafran liberation,’” framing this as a dangerous distortion of morality and legality in Southeastern Nigeria.


According to Igbokwe, Kanu never had genuine control over the Eastern Security Network (ESN) or the armed activities associated with IPOB. Instead, he “set the house on fire” and left criminal elements to operate under the guise of political struggle. Igbokwe argued that by doing so, Kanu enabled individuals with violent tendencies to claim they were fighting for Biafra, effectively giving their crimes a cloak of legitimacy.

He highlighted the broad spectrum of criminal activity that was reframed as political activism. Armed robbers, kidnappers, political assassins, arsonists, and even organ traffickers allegedly adopted the language of liberation to justify their actions. Igbokwe stressed that this deliberate moral confusion was unprecedented in Nigerian history. While other regions continue to identify criminals as such, in the Southeast, Kanu’s rhetoric allowed lawbreakers to be labeled “freedom fighters” or “liberation fighters,” making it harder for law enforcement and communities to respond effectively.

Igbokwe also underscored the insult this creates to the memory of genuine Biafran soldiers who fought bravely during the Nigerian Civil War. By allowing criminals to claim political motives, he argued, Kanu diminished the sacrifices of those who gave their lives for the Biafran cause. The post painted a picture of a movement that prioritized political symbolism over practical accountability, leaving communities vulnerable and unsafe.

The APC chieftain warned that the consequences of this blurring of lines continue to affect ordinary Nigerians. Communities in the Southeast remain fearful as criminals exploit political rhetoric to carry out kidnappings, arson, and other violent acts. In his view, the moral and security crisis propagated by Kanu and IPOB has far-reaching implications for societal stability and public trust in governance.

Obidence fail again

Obidence over to you

Punch NewspapersAug 11, 2024 1:24 AM

The one million-man march planned by leaders of the #EndBadGovernance protest flopped on Saturday across the country due to low turnout.


In different parts of Nigeria, protesters shunned their usual meeting points, which had been occupied by security agents.

Organisers of the protest had said the march would signal the end of the 10-day protest against economic hardship.

In preparation for the march, security agencies deployed operatives into cities as roadblocks were mounted.

Low turnout in Abuja


The security situation was the same on Saturday as the police mounted barricades on all roads leading to Eagle Square, the venue where the protesters intended to converge for the protest.

Although protests were held in the Lokogoma and Apo areas of the FCT, the turnout was noticeably lower compared to previous events.

The protest waned in the FCT after security forces targeted leaders, arresting and shooting at protesters.

After there was calm, protesters returned to the streets.


The youth, who began their demonstration as early as 7 am were chrousing ‘End hunger’ and ‘Reverse fuel subsidy removal,” among others.

Rivers police patrol

In Rivers, protesters were absent on the streets of Port Harcourt and its environs.

It was the third day in a roll that residents refused to come out over fear that the demonstration would be hijacked by hoodlums.

This came as operatives of the Rivers State Police Command embarked on a show of force with huge presence in strategic parts of the state.

The state spokesperson, Grace Iringe-Koko, in a statement on Friday night, had said some miscreants were planning to hijack the one million-man march to loot and attack peaceful residents.

One of our correspondents, who monitored the state on Saturday, reported that cops were seen in patrol vans as security was intensified.

Police patrol vans were also mounted at the gate of the Federal Secretariat, while several operatives hung around in vigilance in the event of any untoward incident.

When contacted, one of the supporters of the protest, Gogo Wellington, said he did not show up due to fear of violence.

He recalled with bitterness how some persons tried to attack some protesters.

“For that reason, we decided not to come out to avoid any clash.

“We hope that the government will be up and doing and immediately address the problems,” he added.

Kaduna, Kano, Katsina stop protest

The News Agency of Nigeria reported that residents of Kaduna, Kano and Katsina States shunned the one-million-man nationwide protest.

NAN added that hordes of people were seen going about their business activities.

Markets, motor parks, supermarkets and other economic activities were going on unfettered.

Commercial motorists and motorcyclists were also busy conveying passengers to and from their various destinations.

The Kaduna State Government insisted that unverified processions were not permitted in the state for reasons of public safety and security.

The state Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Mr Samuel Aruwan, gave the warning in a statement on Saturday.

In Kano, some of the residents of Kano metropolitan local government areas said they would not participate again in any form of protests in the state.

The police and military personnel were also deployed in strategic locations in the state.

In Katsina, protest organisers complied with the order issued by the police and the state government that banned all forms of protests and unlawful assembly.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Abubakar Aliyu, said the order was still in force across the state.

He said the measure was aimed at preventing further escalation of violence, vandalism, and looting of private and public property.

Edo residents shun demonstrations

The Civil Society Organisations, organisers of the #EndBadGovernance protest in Edo State, could not gather people for a rally on the final day of the protest.

The group, which had chosen Ring Road as its protest venue, withdrew from the protest on the third day, stating that they would review their strategy.

The state capital, Benin, was peaceful on Saturday, with residents going about their business unhindered.

Oba Market and Lagos Street, the major commercial hubs, experienced a surge of activity as people conducted their transactions.

Similarly, Uromi in Edo Central and Auchi in Edo North were also peaceful, with no protests taking place in those areas.

Kola Edokpayi, speaking on behalf of the Concerned Civil Society Group in Edo, confirmed that there were no plans to resume the strike on Saturday.

Plateau protesters meet gov

Meanwhile, a coalition of youths in Plateau State presented its demands to the state Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, on Saturday, for transmission to President Bola Tinubu.

A representative of the group, Mr Sam Ode, stated that the demands required the input of both the state government and the Federal Government.

“For the state government, we demand an immediate reduction in the cost of governance. We also request an explanation of how the various palliatives and funding from the Federal Government are being utilised.

“We further call on the state government to implement the minimum wage recently signed into law by the president and to reduce the school fees of tertiary institutions.

“For the Federal Government, we urge the president to end corruption, reverse the pump price of fuel to N300, and also reverse the hike in electricity tariffs,” Ode said.

Ondo gov candidate arrested

Meanwhile, men of the Ondo State Police Command have arrested no fewer than nine youths who took part in the #EndBadGovernance protest in Akure, the Ondo State capital on Saturday.

It was gathered that the protest, which happened at the NEPA Roundabout area in Akure, the state capital, was disrupted by men of the state police command.

According to one of the protesters, Tope Temokun, some of those arrested are the governorship candidate of the African Action Congress, Kunle Ajayi; Patrick Owolabi, Oluwatobi Akinkuotu, Kolawole Kumuyi and Olalekan Oladehinde.

He said, “The arrest that took place is highly condemnable and stands condemned. If the police has any evidence of violence from the protesters, it should come out with it.

Group threatens to continue protest

But a group, Nigerian Patriotic Front Movement, Northern chapter, threatened to begin an indefinite protest after the curfew in the state is lifted.

The Secretary of the NPFM, Anas Adamu, said the group would resume the protest because the President, Bola Tinubu, failed to address their demands 10 days after the commencement of the nationwide protest.

He said, “We are all aware that Nigeria is facing a major governance and economic crisis, which the government of President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has, in 15 months, exacerbated.”

Protesters consider suing FG

The Director of Mobilisation, Take it Back Movement, Damilare Adenola, said the group would reconvene to review its strategies.

He said, “It’s indeed concerning that the government hasn’t implemented any of the organisers’ demands yet. After today, we need to regroup and reassess our strategy. Here are a few possible next steps: Continue to build momentum through online campaigns and social media engagement. Organise targeted advocacy efforts, meeting with key stakeholders and policymakers.”

Adenola said the group would also be considering lawsuits or petitions to demand the needed reforms.

One of the organisers, Juwon Sanyaolu, said he was certain there would be another round of protests.

He said, “We will go back to our internal organs, consult with Nigerians, and other organisers on the next step of actions. But one thing is certain: we will be returning to the streets, and very soon.”

On his part, the Initiator of Creative Change Centre, Omole Ibukun, stated that his group would step up its awareness, mobilisation, and collective actions through other means and prepare for another round of protests should the government refuse their demands.

‘Release all detainees’

The Osun State Civil Societies Coalition said another round of protests was coming if the Federal Government did not reverse the removal of subsidy on petrol and electricity.

The coalition, which is an umbrella body of 30 organisations in the state, also called for the release of all protesters arrested and detained by the security operatives.

The chairman of the OCSC, Waheed Lawal, said broader and well-organised protests would be held if the President didn’t return subsidy and ensure the release of these detained protesters.

Youths seek justice

A group of youths under the aegis of the Take It Back Movement, on Saturday, held a protest march in Osogbo, Osun State, demanding an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the deaths of some protesters.

The group assembled at Olaiya Junction, Osogbo, as security operatives took over Freedom Park, earlier planned to be the convergence point.

After moving to Olaiya Junction, Osogbo, the protesters, armed with a large banner with the inscription, ‘End bad governance in Nigeria,’ were addressed by their spokesperson, Victor Lijofi.

They later moved through Fagbewesa Street and returned to their take-off point before dispersing.

But despite the presence of the protesters in the area, there was a free flow of traffic and business activities went on unhindered.

IPOB Seeks Referendum Amid ‘IgboMustGo’ Campaign
metrodailyng.comAug 6, 2024 9:19 AM

The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has called for a referendum for the Igbos to decide their status within Nigeria, amid rising tensions from the ‘IgboMustGo’ campaign in the South West.

The group expressed frustration at the perceived dismissal of the campaign and accused high-ranking figures in the Lagos State and federal governments of sponsoring it.

Comrade Emma Powerful, the outlawed group’s Director of Media and Publicity, in a statement, criticised Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for allegedly condoning the ‘IgboMustGo’ movement while previously engaging in actions against the Igbo community.

It said the Igbos are ready to leave Nigeria, if necessary, but prefer a peaceful and democratic process through a referendum.

The statement also highlighted concerns over the safety and well-being of the Igbos amid ongoing protests and economic hardship.

“Ndigbo are not perturbed. We have seen it all in Nigeria and are prepared for any opportunity to exit Nigeria at any time. But it will be more appropriate that we are allowed to exit Nigeria peacefully and democratically to maintain good neighbourly relationships.”

MISINFO ALERT: Flag behind Tinubu during address NOT Russian
TheCableAug 5, 2024 5:13 PM

Several posts on social media have suggested that one of the flags behind President Bola Tinubu during his national address on Sunday was Russian.

In a televised broadcast, Tinubu spoke to the nationwide #EndBadGovernance protest and called for a suspension of the demonstrations, asking protesters to give room for dialogue.

Tinubu said persons taking advantage of the protests to foment trouble will be dealt with, adding that there is no place for ethnic bigotry in the country.

The president spoke at length about his achievements in office, defended his policies, and reiterated that the decisions he took were necessary for the economic revival and survival of the country.

The president was flanked by two flags — one which bore the national colours and another with a different emblem.

“Why is there a Russian flag next to the Nigerian flag? Is tinubu in Russia or something” an X user tweeted.

Some comments under a post asking Nigerians to identify the second flag also said it belonged to Russia, with several social media users expressing fear.

The panic comes amid a growing trend of Russian flags sighted in Nigeria during the protests.


The flags were first spotted in Kano on Thursday and have been seen in Jos, Plateau capital, and the federal capital territory (FCT).

The protesters called for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s intervention in Nigeria, accusing Tinubu of playing to the whims of his “masters” — the Western countries.

WHAT FLAG WAS BESIDE TINUBU?

The second flag beside the national flag bore four colours — red, blue, white, and green. These are the colours of the presidential standard of Nigeria.

The four-band flag which belongs to the Nigerian armed forces signifies that Tinubu is the commander-in-chief as well as the president.

It is not to be confused with the Russian flag which has three colours — white, blue, and red.

Sporadic gunshots rock Owerri, residents scamper to safety
From Stanley Uzoaru, Owerri

Owerri, the capital city of Imo State, is presently engulfed in sporadic gunshots, leading to panic among residents who are scampering for safety.


Our correspondent gathered that the Okigwe, Wetheral, and Tetlow junction roads, very close to the State Police Command, were not spared by the hoodlums.

Other areas affected are Ikenegbu, Ama Hausa, IMSU back gate, MCC Road, and Okigwe Road.

Although it is yet to be ascertained who is behind the shootings, the State Police spokesman, Henry Okoye, said the command suspects the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

“They are pure cowards. The criminals, suspected to be members of the proscribed IPOB/ESN, adopted a guerrilla-like strategy where they come out from their enclaves, unleash a surprise attack and go back into hiding. However, concerted efforts are underway by security agencies to apprehend them,” he said.
