Presidency says Tinubu Should Complete Eight Years Just Like Buhari
The presidency says President Bola Tinubu should be given the chance to complete a second term in office, just like former President Muhammadu Buhari did. Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, made this known during an interview with Trust Radio, urging northern politicians to allow the South finish its time in power.
He reminded critics that the South waited patiently through Buhari’s eight years and called recent claims of marginalisation by the Arewa Consultative Forum an attempt to paint the Tinubu administration in a bad light. Onanuga argued that many of the attacks on the President are rooted in regional bias and not based on facts.
“This president is a Nigerian, and he deserves the same opportunity Buhari had. Let’s not let personal ambition tear the country apart,” he said. Addressing the criticism that federal appointments are favouring the Southwest, Onanuga challenged those making the claims to bring evidence and not rely on vague accusations.
He also dismissed worries about poor infrastructure in the North, saying Tinubu’s government inherited many unfinished and abandoned projects. Onanuga pointed to the appointment of key security positions held by Northerners as proof that the administration is fair in its representation.
Additionally, he added that security has improved in some parts of the North, including Birnin Gwari and Igabi in Kaduna, sharing that he recently drove from Kaduna to Abuja without any issues, a journey that used to be risky.
Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has spoken on the allegation that terrorism and the increase in insecurity are linked to his administration in the state.
The governor then said “This is a country where when you work, you become a villain. I have kept quiet for too long for peace and security. But I am not a coward. I will not join them. I refuse to join their party,” he stated.
“We have built our health system, primary education, and reduced out-of-school children. We have been awarded three times by the federal government for development and good governance. And they are accusing us? What kind of paradox is this?”
Media personality Dele Momodu reacts and shares his thoughts regarding First Lady Remi Tinubu interrupting the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, during a recent event.
The event was the 10th coronation anniversary of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi. In the scene, while Governor Adeleke was giving a speech, he began with a worship song. But while singing, the First Lady stood up and met him to inform him to stop singing and go directly to his speech instead.
Media personality Dele then reacted and questioned why she would do something like that, asking if she would have done the same kind of interruption if it were the recitation of the Qur’an.
First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has shared that she has forgiven those who betrayed her husband during the 2023 general elections.
She revealed this as she marked a new age, reflecting on what the future holds. She emphasized that she holds no grudge against anyone.
“I do not have anything against anyone. The question is how I stopped feeling the betrayal? I knew the grace factor was evident, and the Holy Spirit continually comforted me. I chose never to avenge myself, understanding that it is God’s prerogative. Mine is to thank Him for fighting for us. If God decides to fight your battles and you have won, is there anything else that God missed and you wanted to fix? Nothing. So, let it go.”
