Very poor strategic set of people..

Yoruba nation freedom fighter, Sunday Adeyemo, aka Igboho, has declared that he’s not an ingrate like the National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Rauf Aregbesola.

Igboho vowed to support President Bola Tinubu and not be an ingrate with Aregbesola.

He spoke during a visit to the All Progressives Congress, APC, Youth Network in Accra, Ghana.

According to Igboho: “I will continue to appreciate and support the government of Bola Tinubu for forgiving me and restoring me back from a lonely exile. I will support him for eight years because I am not an ingrate like his former commissioner called Aregbesola.

“Tinubu made Aregbesola Commissioner, removed Oyinlola as Governor and put Aregbesola and later Aregbesola became federal minister but see what the ingrate is saying about his benefactor today.”

The Yoruba Nation agitator expressed optimism that Tinubu would spend eight years in power.

“May we never be ingrates in our lives. Obasanjo spent 8 years, Buhari spent 8 years, even Jonathan spent about 6 years too.

“Tinubu will complete his 8 years by God’s grace, nothing will stop him,” he added.

My mother sold akara and bananas. I carried bananas on my head to the market in Jos. My mother sold oranges, and through this, they were able to train me. If it was right 60 years ago, why not today? What is wrong with that? People are missing the First lady's point, her point was that whatever you are doing have some entrepreneurial skill.

…Forces threw up Liyel Imoke too
…Details of last-minute intrigues in Atiku running mate issue

THOUGH the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has formally announced the former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, as the running mate to its presidential candidate, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, many intrigues, it was said, characterised how the choice was eventually arrived at.

Insiders in the party, at the weekend, shared the details of the last-minute intrigues that heralded the choice of Amaechi with the Sunday Tribune.

According to the sources, some close associates of the former vice-president had calculated that the best zone to pick a running mate from ahead of the 2027 race is the South-East.

It was gathered that in a desperate bid to ensure a South-Eastern candidate filled the slot, names were thrown up, including the like of Senator Ben Obi; Hon Emeka Ihedioha and the former Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo- Iweala.

Another source stated that it was argued that if a candidate from the South-East would not work, a long-standing ally of Atiku and former governor of Cross River State, Senator Liyel Imoke, should be considered.

It was learnt that some party stakeholders believed that in the absence of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 election, Mr. Peter Obi, on a joint ticket with Atiku, a strong name from the South-East, should be fished out for the VP slot.

Sources further said that while party leaders were busy sieving from the who is who on the long list, a delegation led by another top chieftain of the party from the North-East was sent to Okonjo-Iweala during her recent birthday celebration.

It was learnt that while the visit was made to look like a birthday felicitation, the leader of the team, a former top shot in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who had also joined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at a stage, met with Okonjo-Iweala to discuss the agenda.

A source stated that Okonjo-Iweala was non-committal on the project, but that she advised the team to consult widely in Nigeria before making a choice.

Said a source in the know: “The ADC’s decision to pick Amaechi was not a straightforward issue as it looked. Though he appeared to be their best choice ab initio, having come second in the primary election and being the stand-out candidate from the South. Some forces in the party, however, believed that a candidate of the South-East origin would do well for the party.

“So, they orchestrated an agenda to draft Okonjo-Iweala into the race as the running mate to Atiku.

A top political face from the North-East led a delegation to visit the former Minister, who is the Director General of the World Trade Organisation, to brief her on the development. We understood that the woman did not give categorical answers, but she was said to have advised that the team should search widely and consult well across the regions of South-East and South-South ahead of the election.

“We were still on that when the name of the former governor of Cross River State, Senator Liyel Imoke, came up. He was also regarded as a strong ally of the former vice-president who could rally the South-South behind the ADC candidate.

“However, elders of the party came together in a last-minute move and advised against toying with anything that could cause further division. It was at that point the party resolved that Amaechi, who had been the chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum and a former Minister of Transportation, be picked as Atiku’s running mate.”

The source said that while all the moves were ongoing, Atiku, however, maintained a close touch with Amaechi, leading to a smooth process at the end of the day.

After he loses out in 2027, hope he will still be donating his loot. Let's see how long this political charity lasts

Delighted to Return to School of Nursing Sciences, Emekuku, Owerri, Imo State.

In continuation of my itinerant visits to educational and healthcare institutions in the country, yesterday, I visited the School of Nursing Sciences, Holy Rosary Hospital, Emekuku, where I met with the management, staff, and students, and presented a donation of ₦15 million to the institution.

I reminded the students that the world needs them more than they need the world because healthcare is one of humanity’s most fundamental needs. Any nation that truly desires development must invest in the education and training of healthcare professionals, who remain indispensable to the well-being and productivity of society.

I was delighted to inspect the computer laboratory, which I had previously supported, and to witness the remarkable progress the institution has made. It was also encouraging to reflect on other health institutions, such as Iyi-Enu and Borromeo, which I supported over the years and which have now grown into teaching hospitals. Their transformation reinforces my belief that sustained investments in health and education can produce enduring results. I look forward to seeing Holy Rosary Hospital attain the same status.

Our vision must be to build a Nigeria where functional institutions produce competent professionals, where investments are directed to critical sectors that lift people out of poverty, and where every child, regardless of background, has the opportunity to succeed. That is how we will build a nation where the son of nobody can become somebody without knowing anybody.

A New Nigeria is POssible.

In reaching its decision, the federal high court agreed with the Peace Movement Party that NDC copied its logo that it had already submitted to INEC. The court thereby set aside its previous order. More details to come.

Our revenue was weak—he introduced tax reforms.

Students were dropping out—he introduced a student loan scheme.

Grassroots development was being neglected—he fought for local government autonomy.

Insecurity was ravaging communities—he introduced state policing.

Fuel subsidy was crippling the economy—he removed it.

Multiple exchange rates were distorting the market—he unified the FX system.

States were struggling financially—he increased allocations to them.

You may not like him, but he confronted the problems.

If your preferred candidate were President, what specific reforms would they have implemented differently or better?

The NDC should appeal the judgement.

A former Commissioner of Police, Balarabe Sule (rtd.), has warned that the newly legislated state police architecture will collapse under the weight of funding deficits and executive abuse across many states of the federation.

Sule, who spoke with the Vanguard on Wednesday, was reacting to the Senate’s passage of the executive bill establishing state police, cautioning that despite its crime-reduction potential, Nigeria remains unprepared for the transition.

“I can very well tell you that many states will not have the resources to equip and pay remuneration for those to be employed to function effectively,” he said.

The retired officer identified five fundamental threats to the policy’s success: inadequate funding, corruption, abuse of power by governors, clash of interests and lack of operational uniformity across the federation.

On corruption, Sule drew a direct line between poor remuneration and professional compromise.

“When you don’t pay them well and as at when due, they will be exposed to corruption. You don’t expect an officer who is not well paid and equipped to perform optimally,” he warned.

He expressed particular concern over political interference, fearing that state chief executives would weaponise the new force against perceived opponents.

“I also fear that state police will be subject to abuse by the governors who pay them, irrespective of the checks and balances,” he said.

Sule noted that the absence of uniform operational standards across 36 constitutionally distinct states would further deepen these fractures, arguing that each state’s peculiar economic realities made a one-size-fits-all policing model unworkable.

Despite his reservations, the former commissioner acknowledged the inherent value of community-based policing, noting that officers recruited from their localities would possess invaluable local intelligence.


“In your locality, you practically know everyone and where crimes are likely to be committed.

“Recruitment will be done in such a way that only indigenous people will be posted to their area,” he said

Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, has stated that the Federal Government is working towards reviewing workers’ salary.

The former Speaker of the House of Representatives stated this on Thursday in Abuja at an event organized by Working People United.

He said that the N70,000 minimum wage which was approved by thr President Bola Tinubu administration in 2024 is no longer in line with the reality of things in the country.

“N70,000 wage, which was a milestone in 2024 must be honestly reassessed against today’s realities,” he said.

The former lawmaker added, “I can confirm to you that when the time comes to begin the process of reviewing the national minimum wage, this administration will approach that endeavor not as an adversary of Labour, but as a partner.

“President Tinubu has said time and again that the custodians of the nation’s machinery deserve a fair and commensurate wage, and as you all well know by now, this is the president who means precisely what he says and does exactly what he means.

“It must be said that good governance is not a performance stage by government for the benefit of a passive audience, it’s a partnership between those who govern and those who are governed.

“No where is that partnership more vital than the relationship between government and the working people of Nigeria.

“It is with this understanding in mind that I ask the leaders of organized labour and the members of working people united to remain what you have so often been at your finest, partners in progress rather than antagonist in perpetuity, let us choose to dialog over disruption, because as we have proved again and again, we achieve far more when we visit together than when we retreat, retreat to our separate corners.”
