“I Didn’t Come to Make Money; I’m Here to Work” – Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu has firmly stated that his motivation for running for office was not financial gain but rather a commitment to serve the Nigerian people.
Speaking during a meeting with the Forum of Former Presiding Officers of the National Assembly, which included notable figures such as former Senate President Ken Nnamani, Tinubu emphasized his dedication to working for the nation after receiving the mandate from voters.
In his address, Tinubu expressed gratitude for the trust placed in him by Nigerians, asserting that he is focused on delivering meaningful results across various sectors, particularly in education and economic stability.
“I didn’t come to look for money or exploit the situation; I came to work,” he said, reiterating his resolve to honour the responsibilities of his office.
The gathering included 16 former leaders from the National Assembly, comprising past senate presidents, speakers of the House of Representatives, and their deputies.
Their presence underscored the significance of collaboration among past and present lawmakers in addressing the pressing issues facing the country.
Tinubu’s comments reflect his administration’s commitment to tackling challenges and making a positive impact on the lives of Nigerians.
He is determined to implement policies that will foster long-term growth and stability, ensuring that the resources of the country are utilized effectively for the benefit of all citizens.
As he continues to outline his vision for Nigeria, Tinubu’s focus remains on transparency, accountability, and the pursuit of progress, aiming to inspire confidence among the populace and encourage active participation in the democratic process.

Former Petroleum Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke has filed a motion to amend her lawsuit challenging the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC) order for the final forfeiture of her seized assets.
At a Federal High Court hearing in Abuja presided over by Justice Inyang Ekwo, Alison-Madueke’s counsel confirmed filing the amendment motion and serving the EFCC. Notably, no EFCC representatives appeared in court.
The embattled ex-minister also sought an extension of time to contest the EFCC’s public notice regarding the sale of her confiscated properties, claiming she was denied a fair hearing during the forfeiture proceedings.
The EFCC, however, rejected Alison-Madueke’s allegations, maintaining that the forfeiture cases were lawfully adjudicated over time.
Justice Ekwo adjourned the case to February 17, 2025, to consider the motion to amend the originating process.
