Let's not forget that it was Tinubu that packaged this same Buhari for us, and watch him crumble the Economy for 4years +another 4years just to take his turn to be president. And the Sycophants who applauded Buhari all through his regime, are same people applauding Tinubu now.

“Inflation has started to fall overall, but it is still very high, at 32.7 per cent year-on-year in September 2024. Inflation have contributed to increased poverty along with other shocks e.g. COVID-19, past economic missteps and the current necessary course corrections have contributed to an increase in the share of Nigerians living in poverty.

Bretton Woods institution, the minimum wage, which is now pegged at N70,000 may not impact most Nigerians saying only 4.1 per cent of the working population will benefit from the pay raise.

Maj. Gen.Onyema Nwachukwu admitted that the COAS travelled for a medical check up abroad, contrary to the initial claim that he was on leave and that as a public officer, he was entitled to it.

-President prays for his quick recovery 

-Army, group dismiss death rumour as fake news

The Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, yesterday, spoke to President Bola Tinubu and seized the opportunity to brief him on his health status, contrary to the swirling death rumour.

The president, according to a source at the Defence Headquarters, was excited to hear the voice of his army chief and prayed for his quick recovery. This, nonetheless, the Army Headquarters has dismissed the trending death rumours of Lagbaja, describing it as fake news.

Reacting to the post by a former Director of Strategy and Communication to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Jackson Ude, the army cleared the air of the death rumour.

At the same time, a pro-Tinubu group, the Renewed Hope Agenda The Way Forward (RHATWF), has also asked Nigerians to disregard the rumour, saying as a Muslim, the injunction was to be buried almost immediately.

Hinting at the health status of the army chief, a source at DHQ, said the president spoke to Lagbaja, who “held a clear conversation with the president and he was in high spirit. The president was very happy and prayed fervently for his quick recovery.

“I can tell you, therefore, that the rumour about his death is not correct. This information is authentic and as such, rubbishes the ungodly rumour about his death. He is recuperating and not dead.”

In a post titled: “Chief of Army Staff Dies of Cancer,” Ude had alleged that the COAS died in an undisclosed hospital overseas nearly ’48 hours’ ago, quoting a senior government official. But the army headquarters yesterday evening branded the post as fake news.

Earlier, the Director, Army Public Relations, Maj. Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu,  dispelled insinuation that the Nigerian Army was running on auto pilot since the COAS left the country for medical investigation abroad. He admitted that the COAS travelled for a medical check up abroad, contrary to the initial claim that he was on leave and that as a public officer, he was entitled to it.

He also refuted insinuations from some members of the public that the result of promotion exam that was supposed to have been made public was being held up because of the absence of the COAS.

“…Subsequently and in line with extant procedures, the Commander Training and Doctrine Command, Maj. Gen. Kevin Aligbe, announced the result after due authorisation by the Chief of Policy and Plans (Army), who currently answers for the Chief of Army Staff in his absence on leave and medical checkup abroad,” he said. Nwachukwu also argued that this was not the first time that there was a prolonged absence of a serving service chief in the history of the Nigerian military.

“This is not peculiar to the NA as there had been instances where unforeseen human frailty kept service chiefs away for about three months, and their Chiefs of Policy and Plans held sway in their absence. Claims of leadership vacuum in the NA presently is therefore mere speculation, as all routine and scheduled activities of the Service are on course,” he said.

Meanwhile, in a statement by its chairman  and convener, Sam Atasia Oburu, the pro-Tinubu group, urged Nigerians to disregard the rumour. “It is true that the COAS has traveled overseas but that for his annual leave and routine medical  checkup. Before he left, he handed over responsibility to his subordinates as required by law,” he said.

Confirming that the COAS fulfilled all legal processes required by law before proceeding on leave, the group lamented that, “It is rather very disappointing that some individuals, who neither have a knowledge of his current situation nor access to any of his family members will rush to social media to announce the death of a man in very stable health.


“Clearly, this is the handwork of mischief makers and detractors bent on rubbishing his fight against terrorism and pushing him off the ladder but to their utter shame, he will surely return at the expiration of his leave to the saddle of command.

“As a detribalised Nigerian, the COAS has remained focused on fighting insurgency in the North, militancy and oil-bunkering in the Niger Delta, secessionists attempt by the IPOB now championed by the unknown gunmen in the South East, farmers-herders conflict in the Middle Belt and all terror related acts across the nation.

“His all-round approach to fighting crime and reaching every affected region of Nigeria has distinguished him amongst others.


“His unbiased appointments and redeployment of Major Generals, and Brigadier Generals amongst several other senior officers across NA formations and units in the country and recent personnel postings, promotions and training activities further cements his integrity and love for national unity and cohesion.

“The best Nigerians can do at this point for a warlord, who at sundry times has placed his life on the line in the interest of national security is to ignore the baseless rumours and pray that he enjoys his vacation and return in renewed strength to continue his good works for our dear native land.
“The Renewed Hope Agenda The Way Forward frowns at this mischief calculated FAKE NEWS and is hereby calling on Nigerians to distance themselves from it. The Chief of Army Staff is alive and active.”

“The kind of work he [Tinubu] has been doing in the last one and a half years requires some rest and he has gone on leave and he’s back well rejuvenated.

Just to continue from where he left off in terms of putting policies in place and making sure things are done, right; making sure we are going in the right direction.

Former Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Senator Kanu Agabi, has said that Nigerians who have stolen monies abroad should repatriate them to help the country’s economy.

Agabi believes some political leaders in the country have cash starched at different locations in foreign lands.
The former AGF said this on the Commission’s podcast, Ethicspod, insisting that it no longer matters whether the money was obtained legitimately or otherwise.

He pointed out that fear of retribution has discouraged many of such individuals from returning these funds. If these funds are invested in critical sectors like education, power, or infrastructure, Nigeria would be on the path to self-reliance and gradually eliminating corruption,” Agabi said.

The former minister maintained that corruption cannot be eradicated overnight and would require time. Agabi pointed out that leadership issues have been a major hindrance to the fight against corruption in Nigeria.
