Ibrahim Kabir Masari, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Political and Other Matters, shared insights from his recent visit with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his X account.

He revealed that he had the privilege of meeting President Tinubu at his private residence in the United Kingdom, where they engaged in meaningful discussions on various topics of national interest.

Following their meeting in the UK, Masari indicated that they traveled to Paris, France, for another significant engagement, although specific details about these discussions were not disclosed.

President Tinubu is currently on a two-week working vacation in the UK, which he began on October 2.

This trip is part of his annual leave, allowing him to take a break from the pressures of office.

However, the timing of this vacation has raised eyebrows, especially given the challenging economic situation in Nigeria.

The country has been grappling with widespread hardship, largely exacerbated by recent fuel price hikes.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) recently announced an increase in the price of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) to N1,030 per litre.

This surge in fuel prices has intensified the economic strain on ordinary Nigerians, who are already facing rising costs of living and declining purchasing power.

Many citizens have expressed frustration over the government’s handling of the economy, leading to increased scrutiny of President Tinubu’s decision to take a vacation abroad during such turbulent times.

Despite the criticism, Masari’s visit signifies ongoing efforts within the government to address various political and economic challenges facing Nigeria.

The discussions between Masari and Tinubu may indicate a focus on strategies to navigate these pressing issues and strengthen governance as the administration seeks to implement reforms and policies aimed at alleviating the current hardships faced by citizens.

As President Tinubu continues his vacation, many Nigerians are keenly watching for any announcements or initiatives that may emerge from his meetings, hoping for positive developments that could improve their situation at home.

Suspended Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, has distanced himself from campaign materials being circulated ahead of the 2027 elections. Fubara made it clear that he never approved the production of caps, shirts, or any other campaign items for the next general election.

Speaking to his supporters in Port Harcourt on Saturday, Fubara stressed that his focus is on restoring peace and stability in the state, not on political campaigns. His reaction follows the recent resolution of the political crisis in Rivers State by President Bola Tinubu.

The clash between Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory had sparked months of tension, which eventually led to Fubara’s six-month suspension from office. Tinubu even declared a state of emergency in Rivers State during the height of the crisis.

However, the president stepped in last week, holding talks with all parties at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, leading to a temporary truce. Fubara expressed his frustration over the campaign materials, saying, “I was really upset when someone sent me a video of people producing caps and shirts for the 2027 elections.

“I didn’t approve that, I didn’t send anyone to do that. For now, what Rivers State needs is peace so that we can focus on progress and development.”

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, will be leading a national prayer session focused on reviving Nigeria’s struggling economy. The prayer is scheduled to take place during the church’s July 2025 Thanksgiving Service, themed “Divine Intervention”, at the RCCG national headquarters in Oyingbo, Lagos.

Speaking ahead of the event through his Special Assistant on Administration, Pastor Dele Balogun, Pastor Adeboye acknowledged that both Nigeria and other countries are facing tough times. But he believes the current hardship is not beyond repair if people embrace faith and take positive action.

“Our nation is going through serious challenges, just like other parts of the world. But the truth is, we can overcome them with faith, as long as we don’t give room to fear or doubt,” Adeboye said. He encouraged Nigerians to reject negative confessions and instead focus on faith-driven solutions, adding that with God’s intervention, the country’s economic situation can still turn around.

The upcoming prayer session, according to him, is not just about asking for change but about opening doors to new opportunities and paving the way for national transformation.
