Obi Claims There Are More “Yahoo Boys” in Tinubu’s Government Than Outside
Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), has strongly criticized President Bola Tinubu’s government, claiming that there are more “Yahoo boys” in the government than outside it.
Speaking at the fourth graduation ceremony of Nexford University, Obi lamented that corruption within the government has turned Nigeria into a “crime scene,” with those in power exploiting the system for personal gain.
He pointed out that while many focus on the actions of internet fraudsters, or “Yahoo boys,” in society, the real issue lies within the government.
“There are more Yahoo people in government than there are outside,” he said. “We have turned the entire country into a crime scene where both those inside and outside the government are stealing.”
“It’s about leadership, it’s about igniting the future. It’s not rocket science, but it’s difficult. It’s about having strong character and the ability to do the right thing,” he added.
It has been reported that the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
It has been reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has finally released the withheld results of 279 students.
It can be recalled that some results were held due to investigations of cheating. Some results proved to have traces of malpractice and were cancelled, but the ones without traces have been released and the students can finally move on.
JAMB also shared additional advice for students that might have not seen theirs: “Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
