if the new is not true, how come it was printed on the news media? I can tell you that the information is true. No need to hide because it will surely be heard publicly

*Breaking: Tinubu sacks Ministers of Defence and Power.*

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has removed the Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, and Bello Matawalle, the Minister of State for Defence. Additionally, the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has also been sacked.

In a statement issued by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, it was explained that the dismissal of the Defence ministers was due to their failure to stop the ongoing killings of innocent Nigerians across the country.

The statement also indicated that the decision to remove the Minister of Power was based on his inability to improve the power situation over the pass two years.

Fake News Alert: Ministers Not Sacked, Ignore Phoenix's False Report

This is to inform the general public that the story titled "BREAKING: Tinubu Sacks Ministers of Defence and Power", published by Phoenix Browser, is completely false, misleading, and devoid of any factual basis. At no point has President Bola Ahmed Tinubu dismissed the Ministers of Defence or Power. This falsehood, presented as breaking news, is nothing but reckless propaganda designed to misinform the public.

To set the record straight, the most recent cabinet changes announced in October 2024 did not include the Ministers of Defence or Power. Those affected were Ministers of Women Affairs, Tourism, Education, State for Housing and Urban Development, and Youth Development. Furthermore, ten ministers were reassigned, and seven new nominees were presented for Senate confirmation, all of which were officially documented and widely reported by credible media platforms.

Nigerians are strongly advised to ignore the concocted report by Phoenix Browser. It is fake news, plain and simple, sensationalist hogwash that should be treated with the contempt it deserves.

Please depend on official government channels and trusted news outlets for accurate and verified information.

Security agencies must urgently take action against fake news websites and platforms and the purveyors who fail to check the authenticity of the stories and make them go viral. Press freedom and freedom of speech will not exist when some people can wake up and concoct their news and narratives without regard for truth. Fake news is simply licentiousness and must be criminalised.

When purpose calls, you answer

After a quite meaningful time serving at the African Development Bank, where I had the honour of documenting impact across the continent, I begin a new chapter with the @WorldBank , working alongside its leadership team, and contributing to a broader global mission.

This isn’t just a career shift, it’s a continuation of purpose: to tell the stories that matter, with care, with context, and with conviction.

Thank you to everyone who has walked with me on this journey so far. Here’s to new beginnings, and the power of stories that move the world.

And to God; Hmmmn, dear Father, you are the ONE who gets the ALL!!! 🤲

Defections of high-profile politicians widely exaggerated, add no electoral value – El-Rufai

…Says SDP Offers Credible Alternative to APC, PDP


[quote]Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has described the recent wave of defections by high-profile politicians in Nigeria as “widely exaggerated” and lacking any real electoral value.

Speaking to journalists in Kano, El-Rufai dismissed the notion that defections by governors or top politicians determine election outcomes, stressing that true political power lies with the people.

“As far as I’m concerned, the defection of high-profile politicians is not the issue,” El-Rufai said.

“These defections are good for headlines and to sell newspapers, but politically on the ground, if you don’t have the people, your profile means nothing. We want to return politics to the people, not to godfathers or so-called high-profile politicians.”

El-Rufai argued that one governor’s defection or even the collective defection of all governors would not change the will of the Nigerian electorate.

“A governor has only one vote. Nigerians have millions. If the people say no, it’s over,” he emphasized.

“Even the president had a sitting governor and still lost Lagos. I was governor of Kaduna State. I fought hard to deliver the president in my state, but I lost. Governors don’t determine election results — the people do.”

The former minister explained that his decision to join the Social Democratic Party (SDP) was motivated by its potential to offer Nigerians a credible alternative to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), both of which he said have been captured by powerful interests and plagued by internal crises.

“I believe the SDP can recreate a major political force in Nigeria. Nigerians are yearning for a credible alternative — a new brand of politics, new faces, and new style of governance,” he said.

El-Rufai stressed that the SDP must remain free of godfatherism and imposition if it is to succeed.

“The APC started well but ended up being pocketed by one or two individuals. We want to avoid that in the SDP. We are building a party that no one owns, that offers a level playing field for all aspirants.”

He further revealed that efforts are ongoing to strengthen the SDP, targeting the registration of three million voters in Kano State alone.

“We are currently focused on building the party from the grassroots,” El-Rufai concluded.

Today, Ambassador Mills met with the Mi-Yetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) to hear about the concerns of herder communities.  The meeting included discussion of the causes of insecurity and opportunities to peacefully resolve conflict.
