No More Excuses: Tinubu Vows To Create Wealth For All Nigerians
No More Excuses: Tinubu Vows To Create Wealth For All Nigerians....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
President Bola Tinubu has called upon the United Nations to assist in combatting the exploitation of Africa’s resources.
In our weekly presidential review, we also highlight two other significant stories:
1. **Championing the Fight Against Exploitation of Africa’s Resources**
On September 20, during his meeting with United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, USA, President Tinubu voiced his concerns about the exploitation of Africa’s resources. He raised the issue of scavengers engaging in illicit activities such as weapons smuggling and plundering the continent’s vast mineral wealth. The President emphasized the challenges Africa faces due to these actions, which mirror the historical legacies of colonialism and neo-colonial structures. Tinubu’s statement can be seen as a call for African governments to unite and address these issues. This call for collective action is of particular interest to students of history.

2. **A Pledge of Accountability and Dedication: No Excuses from President Tinubu**
On September 14, President Tinubu assured a delegation comprising leaders from the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that he would work tirelessly to generate wealth for all Nigerians. He emphasized that his leadership would not resort to offering excuses for any shortcomings. This declaration is seen as a strategic move to bolster confidence in his administration and reinforce its legitimacy following his election victory. Tinubu’s commitment to avoiding excuses contrasts with the narrative of his predecessor, former President Muhammadu Buhari, whose administration often relied on them to explain its failures.
3. **Addressing Nigeria’s Complex Challenges**
On September 11, the presidency acknowledged the multifaceted challenges facing Nigeria. Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, noted that there are no magical solutions to the longstanding issues that the country has grappled with for over 50 years. This statement, while acknowledging the depth of Nigeria’s problems, also serves as a strategic move to encourage patience and understanding among Nigerians. The public’s expectations are high for the Tinubu administration to swiftly address these challenges and restore hope to a nation in distress.

President Bola Tinubu has re-submitted the nomination of former Kebbi State Governor, Alhaji Usman Dakingari, for appointment as an ambassador.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The renewed nomination comes roughly two weeks after Dakingari’s name was initially sent to the Senate but later withdrawn following controversy. His earlier nomination, which placed him alongside candidates for ambassadorial postings to the United States, United Kingdom, and France, sparked debate and led to the withdrawal.
During Tuesday’s plenary, Senate President Godswill Akpabio read Tinubu’s letter conveying the re-nomination. The president cited Section 171(1), (2)(c), and (4) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) as the legal basis for the appointment.
Akpabio referred the nomination to the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs for screening, instructing the panel to submit its report within one week. Senators clarified that the appointment is for a non-career ambassadorship, noting that Dakingari’s political and public service background aligns more with a political posting than a professional foreign service role.
The re-submission officially reopens consideration of Dakingari’s appointment, which remains subject to Senate confirmation. The Committee on Foreign Affairs is expected to complete its screening and report back within the specified timeframe.

Deputy Speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, Chief Hon. Mrs. Lami Danladi Ogenyi, expressed deep sorrow over the incident and called on local security authorities to take urgent action.
In a statement issued by her Chief Press Secretary, Agbaji Samuel Atsonwu, Danladi described the abduction as a “serious affront to peace, faith, and the collective conscience of Ado LGA.” She emphasized that attacks on places of worship—traditionally safe spaces for communities—are particularly alarming.
Danladi highlighted the widespread fear now gripping Utonkon and surrounding areas, noting that families remain traumatized, economic activities have been disrupted, and daily life has become uncertain.
She warned that the incident reflects broader insecurity challenges in Ado LGA and cautioned that inaction could escalate the situation into a more severe crisis.
The Deputy Speaker urged the Chief Security Officer of Ado LGA to take immediate, visible, and coordinated steps to support rescue operations, reassure residents, and prevent further attacks. She also called on security agencies to enhance surveillance, intelligence gathering, and community engagement, especially around vulnerable sites such as churches.
Danladi further appealed to traditional rulers, religious leaders, youth groups, and other community stakeholders to stay vigilant, cooperate with authorities, and reject silence in the face of violence.
She stressed that the people of Ado LGA are not seeking sympathy alone but demand decisive action, accountability, and lasting protection.
