Umahi is n Igbo man and he is saying it loudly.

Chai!

It can't be intimidation and I doubt it is also inducement.

What's that thing that's attracting all of them to the APC?

Will that 'thing' also sustain them beyond 2027?

On no account should the case against him be dropped. The case must be prosecuted diligently and justice served at the end of the day.

The proposed promotion of Nurudeen Yusuf, aide-de-camp, ADC, to President Bola Tinubu, to the rank of brigadier-general has been reportedly suspended.


The Cable reports that the development followed a last-minute intervention by two former chiefs of army staff.

According to the report, citing a presidential source, the promotion would not happen “anytime soon”.

Recall that Yusuf was scheduled to be decorated as a one-star general on Monday evening through a “special presidential promotion,” but the plan was shelved amid concerns within the military establishment.

Yusuf was decorated as a colonel in January 2025 after his promotion in December 2024.

However, under established military procedure, an officer must serve at least four years as a colonel and attend the National Defence College, NDC, before being considered for promotion.

Approval to bypass the process was conveyed in a letter from the Office of the National Security Adviser, NSA, to the Chief of Army Staff.

DAILY POST reports that the move generated disquiet within the military, as no brigadier-general has previously served as ADC to a Nigerian President.


Military experts reportedly warned that the promotion would set a “bad precedent”.

Ahead of the planned decoration, the Minister of Defence, Christopher Musa, a retired general, and the Chief of Army Staff, Waidi Shaibu, a lieutenant general, cut short an official visit to Lagos and returned to Abuja.

Sources said the intervention of two former army chiefs persuaded Tinubu to suspend the promotion.

All those governors wey decamp you think say na maggi them take appreciate them?

Former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, has called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Chairman to recuse himself from an ongoing investigation and threatened prosecution, describing the probe as a politically motivated “witch-hunt.”

In a press release issued on Monday, Malami claimed that the investigation and his detention are driven by personal animosity linked to his recent defection to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). He alleged that the EFCC Chairman harbors a historical grudge stemming from the Justice Ayo Salami Judicial Commission of Inquiry, which investigated corruption allegations within the EFCC during Malami’s tenure as Attorney-General.


“The present investigation—marked by illegal detentions, media harassment, and procedural abuses—bears all the hallmarks of retaliatory persecution motivated by personal vengeance,” Malami said. He emphasized that the EFCC, under its current leadership, cannot conduct a fair or objective investigation into his activities.


Malami formally demanded that the EFCC Chairman step aside and that the matter be transferred to another government agency to ensure impartiality, credibility, and public confidence. He also called on the current Attorney-General of the Federation to intervene, warning that continued involvement by the EFCC Chairman risks further institutional damage and abuse of prosecutorial powers.

Insisting on judicial oversight, Malami urged immediate arraignment before a competent court, in compliance with Sections 35(3), (4), and (5) of the Nigerian Constitution, stating that only a court—not a politically compromised agency—can lawfully adjudicate the matter.

He further accused the EFCC of planning to rely on questionable witnesses, including individuals convicted abroad, to bolster its case against him, calling the approach “desperate, scandalous, and corrosive to the integrity of Nigeria’s criminal justice system.”

The press release confirmed that Malami’s office has formally requested certified copies of the petitions and investigation reports forming the basis of the EFCC’s actions, citing petitions by Human and Environmental Agenda and Grassroot Advocacy for Peace and Good Governance.

Malami concluded by stressing that his objective is to clear his name transparently through lawful judicial processes, warning against the politicization of anti-corruption agencies. “The law must remain supreme—above politics, above power, and above persons,” he said.

The statement was signed by Mohammed Bello Doka, Special Assistant on Media to Abubakar Malami, SAN

I have refrained from commenting because our newspapers can paint Court rulings sometimes.

But like I said when they filed this suit:
-Did they obtain the consent of Fubara or Rivers Govt?

ObiORBiafra:
Everything is not money. You are going to one day get to a stage in life where you will realise that.

Everything is not about money or bribery.

If you get a chance to be around Tinubu you'll change the hate you have for him.

Follow the pattern. What about GEJ? Has Tinubu given him money too? Except for political opponents you'll hardly see someone that has met or deal with Tinubu saying bad things about him. Look at Fubara you'll say he's caged and blah blah but everyday the man say graceful things about the president. You gotta meet the man first. Don't inherit other people's hate.
