Atiku Challenges Tinubu’s Claims On Fuel Subsidy, Demanding Transparency....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has alleged that President Bola Tinubu is misleading the Nigerian people regarding the removal of fuel subsidies. Atiku, through his Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, contended that the Federal Government is still providing subsidies for fuel despite Tinubu’s declaration in his inaugural speech that the subsidy had been eliminated.
He pointed out that with oil prices currently at $94 per barrel and the exchange rate hovering around N1,000/$1, it is evident that the Federal Government is expending funds to maintain the fuel price at N620 per liter within the country. Atiku asserted that Nigerians should not be deceived and labeled Tinubu’s assertion of no subsidy as a falsehood, emphasizing that the lack of transparency suggests potential misappropriation of funds.

Furthermore, Atiku accused Tinubu of presiding over a government that prioritizes his own group, despite his inaugural promise to “serve without bias.” Atiku alleged that Tinubu is overseeing a government that primarily benefits his own faction, citing instances where key appointments in institutions such as the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), customs, army, police, and immigration were predominantly given to individuals from his region, while Tinubu himself held the position of the Minister of Petroleum and Gas.
Highlighting the regional disparity, Atiku noted that Tinubu appointed ten ministers from the South West and only five from the South East, which he regarded as prejudicial. Atiku also raised concerns about the legitimacy of the $3 billion loan claimed by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) from Afrexim to stabilize the naira, suggesting that it might be a fraudulent scheme.
Lastly, Atiku criticized Tinubu’s administration for its handling of the Student Loan Act, signed on June 12, which, according to Atiku, only covers tuition fees and not other educational expenses. He pointed out that after the law was enacted, federal government schools started raising their fees. As a result, Atiku argued that if tuition is free and the Student Loan Act solely covers tuition fees, it renders the act ineffective, leading to increased school fees while students receive no loans. He described this as an example of deception and cruelty within Tinubu’s government.

The incident, which occurred in the early hours of September 28, 2025, has left the singer struggling with emotional trauma and disrupted sleep. Qdot disclosed that he wakes up daily around 2:30 a.m., gripped by panic as memories of the attack resurface. He described feeling constantly unsafe, as though the assailants might return at any moment, adding that the experience has significantly affected his peace of mind and daily life.
Qdot also said the trauma has left him emotionally unsettled, with restful sleep now difficult to attain. He continues to pray for healing, relief from fear, and peace of mind, while urging stronger preventive measures from authorities to protect residents from similar attacks.
On the night of the robbery, armed men invaded Qdot’s residence, holding him and his official DJ at gunpoint. The attackers stole phones, laptops, and other valuables, and also reportedly accessed some of his bank accounts and social media platforms.
The singer described the event as one of the most frightening moments of his life, admitting he feared for his survival. He later expressed gratitude to friends, family, and fans who supported him through the ordeal. Qdot is renowned for hits such as Gbese and Alomo Meta and is the founder of Yoruba Boi Music record label.
According to Nivo News, Nigerian musician and activist Seun Kuti has explained why he continues to critique prominent Christian leaders, including Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Kuti, the youngest son of late Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, spoke during an appearance on Morayo Afolabi-Brown’s television programme on Tuesday. The discussion addressed his frequent public criticisms of senior pastors, particularly Pastor Adeboye, who is widely revered and affectionately called Daddy GO by church members.
The host noted that many Nigerians place great faith in Pastor Adeboye’s prayers and spiritual influence and suggested that Kuti should refrain from publicly challenging religious leaders. In response, Kuti stated that faith leaders cannot operate beyond public scrutiny when their influence extends into societal and political matters.
He emphasized that criticism becomes inevitable when religious institutions influence people who do not share their beliefs. Kuti further argued that churches often move from guiding personal worship to shaping public life without providing practical solutions to pressing social problems. He suggested that religious organizations should prioritize concrete welfare programs, such as free hospitals and maternal services, rather than relying solely on spiritual pronouncements, especially since congregants contribute financially through offerings and donations.
When the host admitted that Kuti’s previous remarks about Pastor Adeboye had personally upset her, he replied that societal change requires accountability, not silence. Kuti added that physical involvement in a church is not necessary to evaluate its impact on the wider community.

Obiesili said, “It has come to public knowledge that a meeting of former governors, alongside their former commissioners, was reportedly orchestrated by Senator Orji Uzor Kalu. At this meeting, they allegedly resolved to remove Dr. Alex Otti in the 2027 general election and secure Abia State for the APC and President Tinubu.”
The Obidient Movement also called on Governor Otti to consider joining the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of the 2027 gubernatorial election.
