Orji Kalu Urges Nigerians to Support Tinubu, Calls Him a Listening and Responsive Leader
Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, representing Abia North in the National Assembly, has called on Nigerians to support President Bola Tinubu’s administration, emphasizing that Tinubu is a leader who listens to the concerns of the people.
Kalu, who served as the governor of Abia State from 1999 to 2007, made this appeal in a detailed Facebook post on Saturday night after visiting Tinubu at his private residence in Lagos.
The senator mentioned the importance of unity and collective effort in driving the nation forward, urging Nigerians to recognize Tinubu’s dedication to addressing critical issues facing the country.
In his post, Kalu shared insights from his meeting with the President, describing it as a friendly and productive interaction.
“I had to pay my friend and brother from the class of 1999 Governors, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a private visit to commend his bold steps in steering the nation and to provide an independent assessment of areas needing urgent attention,” Kalu wrote.
He noted that Tinubu was not only receptive to his feedback but also expressed genuine appreciation for the visit.
According to Kalu, Tinubu assured him that the administration would take swift action on the points raised during their discussion. This, he said, is a testament to Tinubu’s commitment to running a responsive and pragmatic government. Kalu expressed confidence in the President’s ability to address pressing national issues effectively, urging Nigerians to rally behind him for the greater good of the country.
Kalu stated, “One thing I want Nigerians to know is that we have a listening President who genuinely cares about the concerns of the people.”
He described Tinubu’s administration as one that prioritizes practical solutions and inclusivity, making it imperative for citizens to support his efforts.
Since Uber exited Nigeria, rumours have been circulating over why the company left the country. One of the claims suggested that FAAN was part of the reason for the exit.
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has now addressed the rumours and claims of its involvement in Uber’s decision to leave Nigeria.
FAAN said it could not speak for Uber’s decision, noting that the company likely had its own economic and regulatory considerations for leaving Nigeria.
FAAN’s Managing Director, Olubunmi Kuku, said “I can’t speak to Uber’s exit from Nigeria. I am sure they have their own economic and regulatory decisions as to why they chose to exit.”
Governor of Akwa Ibom, Pastor Umo Eno, reflected on a career choice he made when he had no choice back then.
The governor recalled how he made not less than ₦10 million in a month from selling bread and akara.
He stated “I started selling Akara and bread. Back then, I was doing Akara Burger — we opened the bread and put Akara inside for you. I made not less than ₦10 million in a month.”
Many Nigerians reacted and wondered if his reflection was in response to what the First Lady advised Nigerians earlier about selling corn.
Uber makes headlines in Nigeria as it announces that it is leaving the country. The transportation and logistics business has been in operation in Nigeria since 2014 and suddenly announced its exit on September 2, 2026.
This started with users receiving a message from the team stating that the company would be leaving Nigeria, and the announcement quickly began trending as many Nigerians started talking about Uber’s exit.
Uber shared “We are writing to share some difficult news. After a thorough review of our business, we have made the tough decision to wind down our operations in Nigeria, effective 2 September 2026.
“This wasn’t a decision we made lightly, because it will have a real impact on our teammates and friends who have worked hard for Uber. It’s important to say that these changes are about how we’re organised and what we’re prioritising, not about anyone’s contributions to Uber, which we will always value,” Khosrowshahi said.
