Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s handling of the fuel subsidy crisis, referring to him as “TPain” in a tweet on Thursday.   Atiku attributed the current economic challenges facing Nigeria to what he described as the “haphazard and disingenuous approach” of the Tinubu administration to fuel subsidy management.   In […]

I welcome all the distinguished guests, esteemed speakers, and dedicated participants in this pivotal annual accountants’ conference.    Today, we unite […]

Undoubtedly, President Bola Tinubu’s announcement of a 30-day youth conference in his Independence Day broadcast is a stark example of how government initiatives can be nothing more than symbolic gestures, devoid of substance and utility. Billed as a major step to engage with youths, this conference is yet another in a long line of political […]

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will depart Abuja today for the United Kingdom to begin a two-week vacation, part of his yearly leave.   He will use the two weeks as a working vacation and a retreat to reflect on his administration’s economic reforms.   He will return to the country after the leave expires.

Without equivocation, the ridiculous promise by President Bola Tinubu not to abuse the executive-judiciary relationship is disingenuous and a farce, and should be taken with a pinch of salt. Tinubu’s pledge rings hollow, because his storied history of undermining democracy, manipulating the legal system, and abusing state power to crush dissent is well-documented. To believe […]
