Tinubu Appoints Bianca Ojukwu as Foreign Affairs Minister
President Bola Tinubu has officially included Bianca Ojukwu, the widow of Biafra leader Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, in his cabinet as one of his newly appointed ministers.
This development was revealed on Wednesday in a statement from the Presidency following a Federal Executive Council meeting.
Bianca, who has been a prominent figure in Nigerian politics and diplomacy, will now serve as the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, a position that highlights her diplomatic expertise and longstanding experience in international relations.
Her appointment adds a layer of historical significance given her connection to the late Biafran leader, Emeka Ojukwu, who played a pivotal role during Nigeria’s civil war era.
In addition to Bianca’s appointment, the President named Jumoke Oduwole as the new Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment.
Jumoke, a legal scholar and policy expert, has been involved in economic reforms and entrepreneurship initiatives, especially during her time leading the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC).
This strategic appointment is expected to bolster Nigeria’s trade, economic growth, and industrial policies.
Both women bring a wealth of knowledge and leadership to key areas of governance, reflecting Tinubu’s focus on involving individuals with both national and international experience in shaping Nigeria’s policies.
These appointments are seen as part of a larger effort by the administration to balance gender representation and expertise across various sectors of governance.
Spiritual leader Primate Elijah Ayodele warns the APC against being too confident ahead of the 2027 election.
He shared “Overconfidence will kill APC; they will be too overconfident, and that will be the party’s weakness in the election. They will turn Tinubu to a demi-god, but it will make them lose the election. They believe money can do everything, but it will fail in the 2027 election,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele has repeatedly warned the APC not to assume that its current political strength will automatically translate into victory in 2027.
Politician Atiku Abubakar claims that President Bola Tinubu is 90 and says he can prove it.
He shared in a recent interview that he has evidence and can prove it, while also stating that he can serve Nigeria better and sharing how he has the qualities to be Nigeria’s leader.
“You have a President who is 90 years old now and sick and I am healthy and strong. So why won’t I make myself available to serve my country?”
“You went and voted for someone who is 80, I mean 90 years old. How old is President Bola, 90?”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose speaks on the upcoming election and shares that it has basically started now with who the people support.
While backing Peter Obi, he shared “2027 election campaign has officially kicked off. I’m happy because it’s time to take our country back. Recall that President Tinubu once told us that if he doesn’t provide electricity, we should not vote for him. APC is a failed government. Let’s start a door-to-door campaign for Mr Peter Obi. The (OK) ticket is all we want.”
He urged Nigerians to start showing their support and vote.
