Lol. No be this guy talk that time say North won’t vote Buhari in 2015? This one is just a man hustling for attention. Asiwaju will be wasting his time trying to court a featherweight like you.

The clown also said it’s game over for El-Rufai in 2019, the man not only won his re-election, he won on a Muslim-Muslim ticket. This guy is only useful to Meth addicts, those that masturbate on every Tinubu news.

Lastly, if North or most Nigerian states are like Lagos, Nigeria would have been at a better place economically, technologically, HDI wise, entertainment wise, human capital wise, and in literacy rate.

These are the views of African Report Not mine.. You would be delusional to think the questions raised are invalid.

Keep deceiving yourselves.

Ahead of the 2023 Presidential election in Nigeria, frontline candidate Bola Tinubu is planning to break with tradition by picking a fellow Muslim as his running mate in order to receive support in the predominantly Muslim North. It is a move which is unsettling many in the predominantly Christian South. Several associates of the former governor have revealed to The Africa Report how Tinubu plans to win if he gets the APC Presidential ticket -- including on how he plans to capture the South-South vote.

Tinubu is one of the few southern Muslims in the country that has a clear shot at the Presidency. Others are former Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, who is currently the Minister of Works and Housing and former Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State, who now serves as the Minister of Interior. However, both Fashola and Aregbesola lack the political base to win the Presidential primary. Every other southerner with a Presidential ambition is a Christian.

Historically in Nigeria, persons of the same faith hardly ever run on a joint Presidential ticket because of national divisions. When a Muslim person runs as a Presidential candidate, their running mate must be a Christian and vice versa.

But while Tinubu’s Muslim/Muslim strategy may boost his chances in the North, this could alienate the Christian states in the South as well as the Christian minority areas of the North commonly referred to as the Middle Belt. How could Tinubu navigate such a challenge?

The Christian Association of Nigeria says it will not entertain a Muslim/Muslim joint ticket by any political party this year.

“Already Christians are being killed even though two Muslims are not running Nigeria. Imagine how bad it will be if we have two Muslims in power? Any political party that picks two candidates of the same faith for a Presidential election will fail. We also will not encourage a Christian/Christian ticket,” says Rev. Bayo Oladeji, a Spokesman for the Christian Association of Nigeria.

Former Vice President and 2019 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, yesterday, said the 2023 general election offered Nigeria the last opportunity to get it right, else, the nation would be doomed for good.

The presidential hopeful, who also noted that the candidate the party presents at the 2023 general election would determine its victory at the polls, however, declared that he has the mental and physical energy to salvage Nigeria.

“I have the mental and physical energy to serve to the fullest. Above all, it is my passion for the progress of this country that drives my quest for the Presidency of this country. This is the last chance for this country to get it right. Any failure to elect the right leaders now means Nigeria is doomed. That is why this election is not for us or our personal interest, it is about salvaging the country and I want to seek your support to help me do that.

“Nigerians are in desperate need of us and that is why we have to offer them the best. And this time, more than ever before, we need a leader with vast experience, who will fight for the people and president, who can bring this country together. I guarantee you that I have what it will take to be that kind of President. Therefore, I seek your support.”

According to Atiku, who spoke when he met PDP members in the House of Representatives, “This victory of our party depends on the candidate we produce at the primary elections at all levels. That is why we must choose those that can easily win at the secondary election.”

He said the passion for Nigeria’s progress stoked his ambition to be next president and not personal aggrandizement.

“I recognise your immense influence on our great party and my respect for you is beyond measure. That is why I chose you to be among the first set of people that I will be meeting to personally declare my intention to contest for the President of Nigeria in 2023.

“Therefore, I humbly present myself to you and seek your support to win our party’s Presidential ticket. Nigeria is in trying times with the increase in poverty, joblessness, insecurity, inflation, economic recession and serious division. There’s never been a time,when Nigeria needed credible leadership than now,” Atiku noted.

The Waziri Adamawa also affirmed that, “The PDP is in a better position to offer Nigerians that desirable and competent leadership,” adding that, “I have experience at the highest and lowest levels. As the Vice President of Nigeria, I ensure many progressive and national transformations and constitutional law. As a businessman, I have solved grassroots problems and provided jobs for thousands of people.”

In his remarks, House of Representatives Minority leader, Hon. Ndudi Elumelu, called for unity among PDP stakeholders to wrest power from the APC.

He said, “We do not doubt that you have the mental and physical capacity needed to drive PDP to win the election. But what we have always said is that we are not happy with the way and manners we are not trying to unite ourselves. What is important is that we must unite ourselves to take over from APC led government.

“APC came with all manners of lies. They came that they will turn one naira to one dollar; they came that they will give us quality education; they came that they will guarantee the security of lives and property; they came that they will write off all our debts. But, today, they are trying to mortgage our country with so many loans. The hope for Nigeria in 2023 and beyond is in the PDP. And I believe we can make it happen,” he stated.

Consequently, the PDP members in the House, unanimously urged and encouraged the former Vice President to run and contest for the 2023 presidential election.

The More Things Change, The More They Remain The Same

We want a leader who can express himself in a lucid manner, not one who mumbles and muddles up well-written speeches. We yearn for a leader who feels our pain and who understands that public office is a call to serve, not one who views it as an opportunity to appropriate state resources, and award contracts to companies he has interests in, or to have his hand in the cookie jar. We must reject Tinubu today, tomorrow and always, and state unequivocally that Nigeria is not Lagos.

A Ukrainian military plane with at least 14 people aboard has crashed.

The plane crashed in the south of Kyiv on Thursday, the emergency services reported.

The service reported that it was “still determining how many people died.”

The crash took place about 20 kilometres (12 miles) south of Kyiv, amid reports of several locations around the city being under attack by Russia.

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin launched a military action in Ukraine in the early hours of Thursday which has been condemned by the United States and the European Union.

Putin had listed three conditions to put an end to the standoff, urging Kyiv to renounce its bid to join NATO, to partially demilitarize and to recognize Russia’s sovereignty over Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula that Moscow annexed from Ukraine in 2014.

Ukraine has since rejected such demands.

A brief journey back into the fiscal, physical, economic and social conditions of Lagos some 20 years ago will reveal the following: a city buried in heaps of rubbish, a city almost swallowed up in crime, a people choked up in traffic, millions of unemployed youths, thousands of area boys on the prowl, decaying infrastructure, dwindling internally generated revenue and a city of over 12 million with hopelessly bad and damaged roads. The armed bandits also ruled the day and night. Lagos was Nigeria's nemesis. Everyone loved Lagos, but no one, not past military and civilian governors could do anything about it. Not even the federal government was willing to tackle the problems of Lagos. The narrative of Lagos was that of an abandoned and neglected former capital city which had become a no man's land.
Then the military with their jackboots exited power and stepped in one man who changed the face of Lagos. That individual was Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He came in as an elected governor in 1999 after years of democratic struggle and a wealth of experience in the business world as an accountant and oil industry expert. Soon after he took over, he stamped both his vision and authority on the state of Lagos and in 8 years, the face, reputation and face of Lagos changed. He rewrote the rule book, broke away from development stereotypes and against all odds, in spite of detractors and political enemies initiated and implemented policies that laid the foundation for the infrastructural renewal of Lagos. The Lagos we see today had one chief Architect- Governor Tinubu supported by a cast of competent technocrats and progressively minded individuals, one of whom now occupies the Alausa government house-Governor Raji Fashola. The story needs to be told and there is no amount of hatchet job or sponsored write ups and paid online advertorials that can change the solid legacy that was built.

The virtues of courage, determination, commitment, vision, focus and strong sense of purpose that have characterized Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu's politics were no doubt responsible for this extraordinary politician's emergence as one of the country's most successful governors since Nigeria's return to democratic governance 20+ years ago. On his assumption of office as Governor of Lagos State in 1999, Asiwaju Tinubu inherited a state that was practically bankrupt. The country's commercial nerve centre was one of the worst victims of the previous one and a half decades of military dictatorship and neglect.

Public infrastructure had disintegrated abysmally. Delivery of social services had collapsed in virtually all sectors. The environment was in chaos as Lagos was routinely described as one of the dirtiest cities in the world. The state was largely dependent on insufficient financial allocations from the centre as she lacked the capacity to generate adequate revenue internally to meet her numerous challenges.

The public sector was demoralized and ill-equipped, psychologically and logistically, to effectively perform its functions and achieve set objectives. While the citizenry was alienated from the state and thus de-motivated from paying taxes or the ones they paid being stolen making the state technically bankrupt, the organized private sector had little or no incentive to partner with the government in meeting the immense developmental challenges of the Mega City.

Assembling a team of accomplished technocrats, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu's Administration drew up a Ten-Point Agenda, which it began to systematically implement for the revitalization and re-invention of the state. The total budget size of Lagos State at the inception of the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Administration in 1999 was a little over N14 billion while the state's Internally Generated Revenue was approximately
N600 million monthly. Yet, the monthly public sector wage bill was N800 million. The implication was that Lagos state was entirely dependent on allocation from the centre, which was grossly insufficient to meet the huge challenge of rebuilding a state that had been neglected and allowed to decay for over two decades.

Eight years later under Asiwaju's astute guidance, Lagos had become financially viable and autonomous of the federal government; lives and property had become more secure; public infrastructure was being aggressively modernized and expanded; there had been a dramatic improvement in the quality and efficiency of public health care, education, the environment, water supply and public transportation; Lagos was attracting new investment in diverse sectors on a daily basis despite the depressing national economic climate.

The Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration from inception drew up a clear and focused Action Plan for the state in conjunction with critical stakeholders including the Organized Private Sector, civil society groups and the public service. The result was the evolution of the Ten-Point Agenda focusing on Education, Health care, Job creation/poverty alleviation, Power and water supply, Public transportation/Traffic management, Physical Planning/Environmental renewal, Infrastructure renewal, Justice/Law and order, Food security and public sector reforms.

Tinubu's visionary administration re-structured the machinery of government creating new ministries such as Housing, Physical Planning Sports and Youth Development as well as Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation for more effective policy implementation. Asiwaju Tinubu brought seasoned and accomplished technocrats into government as Commissioners and Special Advisers in their areas of expertise. Through meticulous planning and disciplined implementation, the Asiwaju Tinubu Administration grew the budget size of Lagos State from N14.200 billion in 1999 to N240.866 billion in 2007. It is significant that at no time under Tinubu's stewardship did budget implementation performance fall below 60%.
In a similar vein, the Tinubu Administration consistently maintained an annual budgetary ratio of at least 60-40% in favour of Capital over Recurrent expenditure to ensure rapid infrastructure development.

A first class financial strategist, Asiwaju Tinubu, through creative and innovative financial engineering, took Lagos from a yearly Internally Generated Revenue of N14.64 billion in 1999 to N60.31 billion in 2006. By March 2007, the state had achieved a monthly Internally Generated Revenue of N8.2 billion.

This impressive revenue performance achieved by the Tinubu Administration in Lagos State did not happen by chance or luck. It was due to carefully thought out and effectively implemented policies such as the introduction of the Electronic Banking System/Revenue Collecting Monitoring Project, computerization of the revenue collection process, introduction of Electronic Tax Receipts, re-organization and professionalization of the former Board of Internal Revenue now the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service, tax administration reforms and the creation of robust database of tax payers.

Lagos State under Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu became a pace setter in sound and innovative public sector financial management. In September, 2002, for instance, Lagos State was the first government in Nigeria to raise funds from the Capital Market for infrastructure development. This was in recognition of the fact that long-term funds were necessary for long-term projects. The state raised a N15 billion Floating Rate Redeemable to prosecute such development projects as roads construction, millennium housing, water works, construction and rehabilitation of courts, waste management projects and millennium classrooms among others.

The bond has since been fully redeemed and other states and even the federal government have copied the Lagos State model. Again, in 2003, the Tinubu Administration invested N3.84 billion in Celtel (now Airtel) and by the time the state divested from the company in 2006, asurplus of N19 billion had been reaped, which was invested in the provision of infrastructure. As a result of its financial ingenuity, prudence and discipline as well as extensive public sector reforms for improved service delivery, the lasting legacy of the Tinubu Administration in Lagos State between 1999 and 2007 are still there for all to see. They include:

• Massive roads construction, dualization and modernization across
Lagos State such as Kudirat Abiola road, Oregun; Awolowo road, Ikoyi; Akin Adesola road, Victoria Island, Adeola Odeku road, Victoria Island; Agege Motor road; Ikotun-Igando road; Yaba-Itire-Lawanson-Ojuelegba road; LASU-Iba road, Ojo; Ajah- Badore road, Eti-Osa; Oba Sekumade road, Ikorodu; Adetokunbo Ademola road, Victoria Island and the ongoing expansion and modernization of the Lagos-Epe Expressway as the largest concessioneering project of its size and complexity in Africa among several others.

• Provision of free health services

• Elimination of mountains of refuse that used to deface and disgrace Lagos
Through the introduction of community-based Private Sector Participation (PSP) in refuse collection and disposal, expansion and modernization of land -fill sites, construction of Transfer Loading Stations, establishment of waste-to-wealth facilities in Ikorodu as well as re-organization, modernization and re-equipping of the Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA).

• Massive construction of new drainage channels
As well as the creation of Drain Ducks as well as the Emergency Flood Abatement (EFAG) to clear existing drains and respond to flooding.

• Rehabilitation of primary and secondary schools in all Divisions
of the state through the Schools Rehabilitation Programme, massive construction of school furniture and equipping of laboratories; provision of free education in all public primary and secondary schools including payment of WAEC/NECO fees as well as all internal examination fees to ensure that indigent children do not drop out of school.

• Construction of 6,000 housing units such as Abraham Adesanya
Estate, Ajah, Ibeshe low income housing scheme, Oba Adeyinka Oyekan Estate, Lekki, Ayangburen Phase II, Ikorodu, Gbagada Medium Housing Scheme, Amuwo-Odofin Housing Scheme, Abraham Adesanya Estate, Phase II, Ojokoro Millennium Housing Scheme, Alaagba low income housing scheme as well as the Oke Eletu and Oko Oba low income housing schemes among others.

• Massive construction of rural roads as well as rural electrification and water supply schemes;
Construction of micro water works at Onikan, Ikeja, Iwaya, Igando, Oworonshoki, Atan, Bariga, Isolo, Shomolu and Iponri among others to improve water supply in Lagos state.

• Construction and equipping of new High Courts
Computerization of court registries, enhanced welfare for judicial officers to strengthen the rule of law, establishment of the Office of the Public Defender (OPD) to provide free legal services to indigent persons and the establishment of the Citizen Mediation Centre as an alternative dispute resolution mechanism.

• Establishment of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) for enhanced traffic management
establishment of the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) to plan and manage an integrated transportation master plan for Lagos; initiation of the revolutionary Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) scheme that has transformed the face of public transportation in Lagos State; construction of 55 bus stop shelters; construction of 25.9km of median barriers to enforce lane discipline and improve travel time on major highways; fabrication and installation of 50,000 units various types of traffic signs to improve road safety; installation of at least 63 functional traffic lights at major road intersections among others in the transportation sector.

• Initiation despite stiff opposition by the federal government of the first successful Independent Power Project (IPP)
State government generating 260 MW of electricity from Ikorodu to the National Grid.

• Completion of such abandoned projects as Teslim Balogun Stadium
and the new Government House at Alausa as well as finding a permanent solution to the erosion and perennial flooding of the Bar Beach by constructing an enduring shoreline defensive barrier.

• Creation of 37 new Local Development Council Areas bringing the total number of Local Government Areas in the state to 57
In order to accelerate grassroots development. He successfully sustained and nurtured them to maturity despite the fierce opposition of the Federal Government that illegally withheld N24 billion of the state's Local Government Statutory Allocation for two years despite a Supreme Court directive to the contrary.

In Year 2007, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu successfully handed over the mantle of the state's leadership to Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) who has continued to build on the firm foundation laid by his predecessor. In the just concluded general elections, Asiwaju Tinubu's influence was a critical factor not only in his party's retention of power in Lagos State but also its success in recovering the states it had earlier lost in the South West in the 2003 and 2007 elections.

For his excellent performance as the Executive Governor of Lagos State of Nigeria (1999 - 2007), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu received several awards.
These include

• Best Governor in Nigeria for Year 2000 by the Nigerian-Belgian Chamber of Commerce;

• Year 2002 Best Practices Prize in improving the living environment, awarded by the Federal Ministry of Works and the UN Habitat Group;

• Citation by the New York based World Trade Association on June 12, 2002, as the symbol of progress in Nigeria. The only other recipient in Africa was President Nelson Mandela of South Africa.

Asiwaju Tinubu played key roles in Nigerian politics long before he became Governor of Lagos State. Tinubu was elected to the Senate from Lagos West constituency with the highest votes in the country in the Third Republic.
In the Senate he was the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Finance, Currency and Appropriations. In that capacity Tinubu initiated a far reaching probe of the finances of the National Assembly that set him at loggerheads with the legislative bureaucracy and the military regime at the helm of affairs at the time. Again, Tinubu was at the forefront of Chief MKO Abiola's campaign for presidency in 1993. When the June 12, 1993 election, described as the freest and fairest in the country's history was annulled, Tinubu emerged as one of the fiercest opponents of the annulment. As the arrowhead of the struggle to actualize Abiola's mandate, the military junta reached out to him severally to jump ship and come over to their side. He was offered juicy appointments and contracts to no avail. He refused to betray his principled commitment to the sanctity of a free and fair election. Exasperated by Tinubu's intransigence, the military viciously went after him. He was detained. His house was firebombed. He eventually had to flee the country for his dear life. His wife, now Senator Oluremi Tinubu and her children had to be smuggled out into exile. Tinubu, while in exile remained steadfast in his commitment to the pro-democracy struggle making great personal and financial sacrifices towards this effort. A pseudo democrat would rather enjoy the transient benefits of economic and political power rather than risk his life fighting for truth and justice but not Tinubu who remained steadfast.

Tinubu's re-engineering of the finances of the IGR of Lagos, remains a sterling contribution. The facts are clear. Lagos was earning an Internally Generated Revenue of N 600 million monthly when Tinubu assumed office in 1999. Through deft financial engineering, Tinubu turned around the finances of state and by the time he left office in 2007, the IGR of Lagos was over N8 billion monthly. Governor Fashola has built on this strong foundation and the IGR of Lagos is today over N15 billion monthly.

Asiwaju Tinubu remains one of the most influential, courageous and principled politicians and statesmen in contemporary Nigeria. In a political culture where most members of the political class tend to gravitate towards the ruling party for pecuniary reward, Tinubu's resilience and steadfastness in giving inspirational leadership to the opposition is remarkable. It is a testimony to the depth of the convictions that have motivated and sustained him in politics over the last two and a half decades.

NO!

Nigerian activist, Deji Adeyanju has commented to a video circulating on social media which shows the moment the cloth of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, seems to be saturated with an unknown liquid as he stood up from a seat to meet some of his fans.
A man in a suit, thought to be a member of the APC chieftain’s security detail, could be seen in the video looking at the soaked section of the dress while covering his nose.

Adeyanju, who has always stated that Nigeria does not require an ill or elderly President to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari, whose ailing health is thought to have pulled the country behind, advised those working with Tinubu to seek for high-quality diapers.

Adeyanju said: “They should get quality pampers for political ancestor so that his poo or pee won’t show next time. And people around don’t have to be covering their noses,” he tweeted.

“Political ancestor urinated on himself and his security aide is seen covering his nose. Oh, Naija for show!”

Mean While,

A pro-Bola Tinubu coalition, the Support Groups Management Council, has released a statement over the circulating video of the All Progressives Congress, APC, national leader’s wet dress.

The group in their statement tried to convince Nigerians that the viral video and photographs of Tinubu in a wet dress is the work of mischief-makers.

The coalition said the viral video was manipulated, insisting that the APC national leader is healthy and ready to challenge and win the 2023 presidential election.

The Jagaban of Lagos visited some top traditional rulers in Ogun State, including the Alake and Paramount Ruler of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, on Sunday. The visit was in continuation of his consultations.

After the visitations, a video of the former Lagos State Governor in a wet dress around his lower region surfaced on social media.

However, the coalition, in a statement signed by its Director of Media and Publicity, Biodun Ajiboye, described the claim as false and a malicious move by haters to discredit a successful meeting between Tinubu and the traditional rulers.

The group believes it was the alleged success of the meeting that led those they described as evildoers and enemies of progress to script a dirty tale to discredit the outing.

“This time it is that he wetted his dress!

“Assuming without conceding that is the case, so is it the back of his knees that would be wet and not the bum area? So if he wetted his babariga, he would not cover it and would still move to be flat to greet the Awujale of Ijebuland in the full glare of everyone present?” The coalition wondered.

“It was the usual photoshop manipulations and shallow mental agility that pushed them to dispense a feeble narrative that made no iota of sense.

“Yet as their video showed, it was after their wetting incident that he went ahead and prostrated to Kabiyesi,” the group said.

According to them, this was another way to distract their presidential aspirant, which will amount to nothing, adding that Tinubu has his leg on the throttle and there is no going back.

“We want to assure Nigerians that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is healthy and strong enough to undertake the responsibilities involved in the expected rigours of campaigns and politicking when the time comes,” they maintained.

This is an apex military training institution for senior military officers of the Nigeria Armed Forces, what Officers of the Fire service would be doing in this kind of institution is beyond me. Maybe one day Federal Road Safety and VIO would also attend the program, misplaced priorities. These officers should first have to undergo commensurate Staff training at The Armed Forces Command and Staff College, Jaji before they are EVEN considered to have shown requisite capacity to undergo this course. Military strategic training is not free for all its critical to National security. Instead i am of the view that these paramilitary organisation should work to set up specialised training programs tailored for their own needs.

Former Senate President Bukola Saraki has revealed why he parted ways with President Muhammadu Buhari and returned to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

Saraki left the PDP for the All Progressives Congress (APC) to help Buhari become President.

But things fell apart between Saraki and other promoters of the APC before the 2019 election and he returned to the PDP where he was unable to secure re-election.

Explaining why he parted ways with President Buhari and the APC, Saraki who was a guest on a Twitter Spaces discussion championed by Rinu Oduala – one of the prominent faces of #EndSars Protest – on Saturday stated

“My view in 2015, honestly, was that there was an issue of security and the level of corruption at that time and the issue of integrity, ability to lead the country with honesty and good intentions; a lot of us felt that there was going to be a change,” he said.

“There was nothing personally one was gaining out of it. It wasn’t that one was doing it out of any personal gain at all.

“You could see that when I realised that what we hoped to achieve and deliver for Nigerians was not happening, we parted ways.

“I think that that was an acceptance for me to say that this was not what we bargained for. That is the truth, I am speaking from the heart about what happened.

“We had great hopes and intentions. It did not happen. I, unlike others, said ‘look this is not what I promised Nigerians, and I can’t continue’, and we parted ways, and that is the truth about that.”

A civil society organisation, Congress of Nigerian Youth Leaders, has endorsed a former president of the Senate, Dr. Olubukola Saraki, for the presidency ahead of the 2023 general election.

The CSO also inducted Dr. Audu Musa Idowu into its Hall of Fame.

Chairman of the group, Comrade Godwin Menza, made this known while addressing journalists at the end of their annual programme held on Thursday at Avison Hotel in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

The group described Senator Saraki as the man that will rescue Nigeria from the current political, economic and security quagmire. They called on the electorate to throw their weight behind the success of Saraki’s ambition for the progress of Nigeria.

Also speaking, the inducted Dr. Audu Musa Idowu added his voice to the call for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to give Saraki its ticket in the primary election and the electorate to vote for him come February 2023.

Dr Idowu is not just a medical doctor by profession, but a talented and naturally endowed with good leadership skills.

He has been outstanding in humanitarian services to his immediate community as well as the entire Kwara and Nigeria as a whole.

He initiated special programme of sight saving in 2006 in collaboration with Sight Savers organisation where thousands of less-privileged benefitted from the programme in Ekiti and Oke Ero LGA of Kwara State. He also supported various free health services in many communities in his home-state of Kwara.
