“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.
Governor of Niger State, Mohammed Umaru Bago, mourns and share emotional tribute to former President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari.
“The deceased had remained steadfast in fighting corruption and making Nigeria better throughout his administration, especially through the numerous initiatives introduced by his government, such as the expansion of rail lines, construction, and rehabilitation of major roads, establishment of the Social Investment Programs, and agricultural and security reforms, among others, amidst daunting challenges.”
“I pray Allah will forgive all the shortcomings of the deceased and grant him Aljanna Firdausi.”
Former President Muhammadu Buhari is dead. He passed away at the age of 82. The news was confirmed on Sunday, July 13, 2025, by presidential spokesperson Garba Shehu, who stated that Buhari died in London after battling an illness for some time.
The announcement was also shared through official government channels by President Bola Tinubu’s team. Buhari passed away around 4:30 p.m. GMT while receiving medical care at a clinic in the United Kingdom.
Following the news of his death, President Tinubu expressed sadness and extended condolences to the former First Lady Aisha Buhari and the rest of the family. Tinubu also directed Vice President Kashim Shettima to oversee the process of bringing Buhari’s body back to Nigeria for burial.
Flags across the country have been ordered to fly at half-mast, and a state funeral is expected. The details of the funeral arrangements are yet to be officially released.
Atiku Abubakar has come down hard on President Bola Tinubu, blaming his swift removal of fuel subsidy for the economic pain many Nigerians are facing today. According to the former Vice President, the decision has only deepened inflation, hunger, and hopelessness across the country. Also, he slammed the arrest and ongoing detention of labour activist Comrade Andrew Uche Emelieze, calling it a direct attack on democracy and a clear warning sign of rising authoritarianism under Tinubu’s leadership.
In a statement released Sunday, Atiku accused the government of breaking its promise to workers. He pointed to the N35,000 wage award Tinubu promised as a temporary relief measure, saying it has now turned into yet another unfulfilled pledge. Emelieze was reportedly arrested while trying to lead a peaceful protest demanding the payment of that very wage award.
Atiku showed concern that it took the government almost a year to settle on a new minimum wage, describing the delay as unacceptable. He praised state governments that have handled labour matters better, contrasting them with the federal government, which he said has shown little to no concern for the welfare of Nigerian workers.
Finally, Atiku demanded the immediate and unconditional release of Emelieze and urged the government to stop using fear and repression as a response to citizens’ cries. “Nigerian workers are suffering,” he said. “The government needs to step up and respond with solutions, not silence or suppression.”
