OCCRP Recognizes Tinubu as One of the World’s Most Corrupt Leaders in The World
The controversial recognition came after the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) invited citizens worldwide to nominate individuals whose actions significantly contributed to criminal enterprises and worsened poverty.
The OCCRP, a global network of investigative journalists and activists, revealed that Nigeria’s President Tinubu ranked third after a public vote.
Kenya’s President William Ruto emerged with the highest votes, securing the top position, while Tinubu followed former Indonesian President Joko Widodo, who placed second.
However, the main “Person of the Year” title was awarded to Bashar al-Assad, Syria’s former leader, who recently fled to Russia after years of ruling the country marked by corruption, war, and economic collapse.
Assad’s regime had long been accused of exploiting Syria’s resources.
OCCRP mentioned that the award was due to the public’s outrage at corruption and its devastating global impact.
According to the group, the goal is to shine a light on leaders and figures whose actions have not only enriched themselves but also contributed to systemic failures in governance and public welfare.
An update has been shared on the burnt building at Balogun Market on Lagos Island, as it was revealed that a man was rescued 11 days after the building caught fire.
According to reports, the man was found alive on January 6, 2026, after being discovered under the rubble of the collapsed structure.
The survivor has since been taken for proper medical care, while further details are yet to be released.
Meanwhile, passersby and market traders have expressed concern, fearing that more people may still be trapped alive inside the building.
It has been reported that Anthony Joshua has officially been discharged from the hospital following the terrible car crash that claimed the lives of his two closest friends and supporters.
The boxing star was deemed stable enough to go home after the accident. After his discharge, he visited the funeral to pay his respects and see the bodies of his two friends.
Many have expressed grief and offered their support to the boxing star, praying that he will be able to find peace, as grief will undoubtedly be one of the most painful challenges he will face in life.
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
