Tinubu’s Pledge To Accountability Underlined By APC
Tinubu’s Pledge To Accountability Underlined By APC....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has affirmed President Bola Tinubu’s unwavering commitment to fostering an all-encompassing, transparent, and accountable governance system.
Mr. Felix Morka, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, issued this reassurance in a statement released in Abuja in response to comments attributed to Mr. Phrank Shaibu, the Media Aide to Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) 2023 presidential candidate.
Morka encouraged Nigerians to actively engage in democratic processes, express their opinions, and contribute positively to national discussions.
“As a discerning populace, we remain confident that Nigerians will continue to distinguish between genuine, constructive, and development-oriented critiques and those driven by self-interest, mercenary motives, and disruptive political agendas,” Morka remarked.
He urged Nigerians to disregard purveyors of false information and other trivial matters.
Morka pointed out that it was evident that Shaibu and individuals of his ilk would stop at nothing in their eagerness to distort facts and breathe life into their politically defeated principal.
“However, this can only worsen his notoriety in light of the president’s resolute commitment and efforts to enhance the social and economic conditions for all Nigerians.”
“The PDP and all its agents of disinformation should understand by now that no amount of sleazy propaganda, mudslinging, lies, half-truths, misrepresentations, misinformation, or disinformation will secure the presidency of Nigeria for their candidate.
“Nigerians have freely chosen our party, the APC, and President Tinubu to continue steering the ship of state, and he is diligently fulfilling his campaign promises to provide purposeful leadership,” Morka emphasized.
He noted that Shaibu exposed himself with his misguided and misleading assertion that the Tinubu-led APC administration was deceiving Nigerians through propaganda.
Morka recalled that Shaibu had alleged that the administration was more interested in spreading falsehoods than rescuing citizens from bad governance.
“In his pathological and cynical flippancy, Atiku’s aide delved into matters he clearly does not understand or lacks the fundamental capacity to grasp,” Morka stated.
He pointed out that Shaibu’s sole basis for such a conclusion was that Tinubu appointed more media aides than economic and security advisers.
According to the APC spokesperson, Atiku’s aide evidently does not comprehend the intricacies and dynamics of statecraft and economic management initiatives undertaken by Tinubu.
Morka mentioned that describing the courageous decisions of the Tinubu administration, such as the removal of fuel subsidy, foreign exchange harmonization, and the signing of the Students’ Loan Act, as lies highlights Shaibu’s limited understanding of economic development and governance.
Morka emphasized that the fine details of these visionary and people-centered policies are still being worked out and have yet to fully materialize, but this does not negate their valid objectives and potential transformative impact.
“The president has dutifully appointed experienced and highly skilled professionals to key institutions of the economy, including the Ministry of Finance, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), and established the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy in a patriotic zeal to reposition and grow the economy,” Morka noted.
Furthermore, the APC spokesperson clarified that Shaibu’s claim of the return of fuel subsidy is inaccurate. He explained that the government’s intervention to ensure some degree of price stability and predictability does not equate to the return of the detrimental fuel subsidy seen in the recent past.
Morka also pointed out that the lifting of the visa ban on Nigerians by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) authorities should be a source of joy for any well-meaning Nigerian. He added that diplomatic reconciliation between Nigeria and UAE authorities is ongoing, and the details of the outcomes will soon be made public.
“Nigeria is confronting pressing challenges that demand focused efforts and undivided attention. Issues such as economic recovery, security of lives and property, infrastructure development, and social welfare require continuous, sustained, and innovative efforts,” Morka concluded.

The achievement was celebrated by the Nigeria Customs Technical Hangar Service, marking a significant step in the agency’s drive to strengthen its aviation capacity for surveillance, logistics, and anti-smuggling operations.
At a ceremony attended by senior officers, the Managing Director of the Customs Technical Hangar Service, retired Comptroller of Customs Capt. Kuhi Mbaya, described the development as a landmark moment for the service.
He said Balogun’s transition from cabin crew to certified commercial pilot represents a major breakthrough for the Customs aviation unit and highlights the agency’s commitment to professional growth and inclusivity.
He added that the milestone reflects expanding opportunities within the Service as it continues to integrate air assets into its enforcement and border monitoring operations.
Balogun expressed gratitude for the support she received, noting that her journey required dedication and resilience, while pledging to apply her new skills in advancing the Customs mandate with professionalism and discipline.
The development has been widely described within the Service as an inspiration for greater female participation in technical and specialised roles.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Osun State, Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO), has pledged to ensure inclusive governance by integrating non-indigenes and various interest groups if elected in the August 15, 2026 governorship election.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
He said his administration would operate a structured system that promotes participation and representation of all segments of society in governance.
The pledge was conveyed by a former lawmaker and ex-Special Adviser on Civic Engagement, Hon. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, after he represented the candidate at an engagement with members of the Arewa community in Ibokun, Obokun Local Government Area.
Oyintiloye said the plan is aimed at strengthening the link between government and grassroots communities, ensuring public policies reflect citizens’ real needs.
He added that all groups would be actively involved in both policy formulation and implementation to drive development in the state.
Oyebamiji also promised continued engagement with farmers, traders, artisans, and non-indigene communities as key stakeholders in governance.
Responding, leaders of the Arewa community commended past inclusion efforts and pledged support for the APC candidate ahead of the election.
Barely a year after its inauguration in Akwa Ibom State, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has been plunged into a deep factional crisis.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Multiple factions are now locked in a struggle for control of the party, leaving members uncertain about the legitimate leadership structure.
One faction is led by John Akpanudodehe, a former National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), while another is headed by the embattled state chairman, Dick Duke.
Although the leader of a third faction could not be immediately confirmed, findings indicate that another group also exists within the party.
Sources further suggest that the Akpanudodehe-led faction is seeking to remove the current chairman through a recently held congress that has sparked controversy.
In response, Dick Duke convened a stakeholders’ meeting over the weekend, where he rejected the legitimacy of the said congress.
He said the party had formally written to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to distance itself from the exercise, citing a subsisting court order.
According to him, his tenure as state chairman is still valid until May, and any congress conducted before then would be unlawful.
Duke added that the party would only proceed with proper congresses after the expiration of his tenure and the resolution of legal issues, in line with due process.
