While it is arguable that with the President and Vice President absent from the Villa , there is no vacancy in the Presidency, in a situation where both the President and Vice President are out of the country, as reported in the media yesterday, it's concerning for a country with such myriads of domestic problems.

The President had told us he would only be gone for 14 days. The 14 days have passed now, and we are waiting to see him in the country.

One would have expected him to return earlier than expected, considering the volume of work that needs to be done in a troubled nation like ours.

The untold hardship that has been unleashed on our people as a result of some of his administration's policies is unimaginable and we need his urgent attention to pilot the nation out of this present situation.

Again, since the President is reportedly in Paris, France, which is just about 833 nautical miles from Stockholm, Sweden, one wonders why he did not just attend the 2-day working visit to Sweden. He could simply have done it on his way back from France with his new powerful jet, which would have taken him a little over 2 hours.

This would have saved time and the very scarce national resources we need critically at this time. Instead, he delegated the Vice President, who needed to travel 3055 nautical miles, over nine hours, and (about 4 times the travel time from Paris to Stockholm, Sweden, to represent him at the event.

It would take about 4 times the time and distance it takes to travel from Paris to Stockholm to travel from Abuja to Stockholm.

This does not represent the kind of fiscal responsibility and common sense that is expected of leaders whose people are facing severe hunger and poverty.

This is the time to show true and committed leadership to the people by making decisions that prioritize the well-being of the people and effective management of the nation's scarce resources in alleviating the sufferings of the people.

A New Nigeria is POssible.

About three months ago, Mr. Peter Obi visited Grimard College of Nursing Sciences in Anyigba and donated ₦10 million to support their programs.
During that visit, Bishop Most Rev. Dr. Anthony Adaji shared with him the school's most pressing need for accreditation - a coaster bus. Mr. Peter Obi promised to assist, and today, he fulfilled that promise.

After an inspiring session with the students, where he offered words of encouragement, Mr. Peter Obi handed over the coaster bus. Additionally, he donated ₦5 million to cover registration, insurance, and other expenses for one year.

Mr. Peter Obi extended his heartfelt gratitude to the Proprietor, Management, and staff for their warm reception.

He recognized their dedication to improving lives through education and healthcare and assured them of his continued support toward building a better Nigeria.

Meath West Selection: Councillor Murray selected by Fine Gael, ending Yemi Adenuga bid amidst controversy

Oluwayemi Yemi Adenuga, a Nigerian-Irish politician, has been excluded from the Fine Gael candidacy for the Meath West constituency in the upcoming Irish General Election.

Councillor Linda Nelson Murray was selected to represent the party during a convention held at the Newgrange Hotel in Navan, chaired by Deputy Simon Coveney.

With this selection, Fine Gael has now announced 58 candidates across 37 constituencies. Councillor Murray expressed her gratitude, stating, “I am truly honoured to have been selected by the members of Meath West. Having lived and worked here all my life, I have a deep understanding of the issues that matter most to our community.”

Murray, a mother of two, highlighted her commitment to improving childcare access, enhancing mental health services, and advocating for inclusive education and better rural infrastructure. She also acknowledged the contributions of outgoing TD Damien English, whom she considers both a mentor and a friend.

In a notable twist, Yemi Adenuga has faced backlash from some Nigerians who accuse her of supporting a corrupt government in her home country while seeking election in Ireland.

Adenuga previously shared her excitement about her nomination for Fine Gael, expressing gratitude to her supporters and asking for prayers ahead of the selection process.
