I sincerely sympathise with President Bola Tinubu, @officialABAT, over this unfortunate incident as he was set to review the parade on Democracy Day. I do hope that all is well with him. -AA

President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday slipped while boarding the parade vehicle at the venue of the 2024 Democracy Day.

The President had approached the vehicle shortly after he arrived at the Eagles Square, Abuja venue of the programme.

Our correspondent observed that the President lost his footing momentarily as he was about to step into the vehicle.However, despite the slip, the President quickly regained his balance and continued with the proceedings.

The event at Eagles Square was part of a series of events to mark the country’s Democracy Day celebration.

After paying N8m for Hajj see the breakfast that our pilgrims are being given! Nahcon Nigeria Fatima Mustapha. This what was given today 28th May 2024. In fact some pilgrims have already started begging to get money to buy food because even their remaining $300 that was promised to be paid to them in Saudi (out of $500) is not forthcoming from the authorities!

He lied to Bello (his former colleague at KEDCO) that he will help him secure employment with FIRS, after weeks no job offer & no money there was pressure from Bello on Sadiq and that is when He was said to have invited his friend to his house and unknown to his friends that he had planned on killing him fell into the trap and visited him, upon his arrival, the friend hit him with a pestle smashing his skull, and ended his life through the process

The car beside him belonged to his late friend and it was also used by the suspect to dump his corpse along the Kano-Zaria road.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has listed at least 58 former governors involved in the misappropriation, embezzlement, or laundering of approximately N2.187 trillion over a period of 25 years.
This amount does not include properties seized worldwide or those currently being investigated, which amount to billions of Naira.

The amount of N2.2 trillion that was looted is similar to the combined budgets of Lagos State and the South-East states for 2024, totaling N2.25 trillion and N2.29 trillion respectively.

This figure exceeds the budgets of the North-Central states and North-East states for 2024, which are N1.89 trillion and N1.60 trillion, by several billion.

Commenting on Peter Obi not being on the list, some Nigerians expressed their belief that he stands apart from other politicians, emphasizing his track record of fiscal responsibility and ethical leadership. One netizen remarked, “Peter Obi is different. He’s a man of his word, and his actions speak volumes about his dedication to serving the people.”
