Tinubu: My Concentration Is On Elevating Nigeria To Achieve Greatness....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The President reiterated his unwavering commitment yesterday to the task of propelling Nigeria towards a brighter future. He expressed his dedication to elevating the nation to greater heights as his top priority.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu conveyed these sentiments through a tweet shared on his official account, accompanied by photographs of his meeting with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume. The meeting took place within the confines of the Presidential office at Aso Villa in Abuja.

In his tweet, he emphasized, “All hands must be on deck in the great task of positioning our dear nation for progress.”

Sources indicate that the President and the SGF convened to discuss government matters, with the SGF providing updates on various ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs).

The government has been diligently working to revitalize the economy, evidenced by the recent removal of petrol subsidies and the unification of the naira/dollar exchange rates. Additionally, efforts are ongoing to implement the agreements reached with labor leaders last week, which successfully averted a potential workers’ strike. The government is committed to fulfilling the terms of these agreements within 30 days.

It’s worth noting that the SGF plays a pivotal role in coordinating federal government affairs, serving as the clearinghouse for the Federal Executive Council (FEC). The office is responsible for appointments to boards of government departments and agencies, subject to the President’s approval.

Apart from domestic issues, the President may have been briefed on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict that erupted over the weekend.

This month, the President is slated to engage with foreign leaders, including German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who is expected to visit for bilateral economic discussions.

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea Ambassador Jon Tong Chol also acknowledged Nigeria’s political stability under the Tinubu Administration during his recent visit to the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje at the National Secretariat of the party in Abuja.

Ambassador Chol noted that despite assuming office during a challenging period, the new administration has made notable progress in national security and economic recovery. He emphasized the importance of exchanging ideas and sought a partnership between APC and the ruling Workers Party of Korea.

Ganduje welcomed the idea of strengthening bilateral ties between the two nations, emphasizing that it would contribute to the development of both countries. He highlighted the diminishing dichotomy between capitalism and socialism, with the focus shifting towards the development of the people. Comparing the roles and functions of political parties in governance and development was deemed crucial in fostering cooperation between the two parties.

Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, has criticised political commentator Isaac Fayose over his remarks about the City Boy movement’s walk in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Fayose had taken to social media to question the gathering, describing it as a waste of time and expressing doubts about the number of people who attended the event.

Responding in the comment section of the post, Seyi urged the businessman to conduct himself properly instead of criticising the group’s activities.

He defended the Port Harcourt walk, describing it as a successful and peaceful gathering organised by young Nigerians in support of President Tinubu and his administration.

Seyi wrote: “My content creator Egbon e behave ara yin o. You and I both know that those gallant men and women were there for the city boy walk in PH, which was a success by the way. Vote APC.”

In a related development, Fayose has alleged that he is being targeted with false accusations because of his support for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

The younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, made the allegation in a video shared on his verified Facebook page on Sunday.

He was reacting to a post by an unnamed blogger linking him to a rape allegation, which he denied, describing it as a fabrication intended to damage his reputation because of his refusal to withdraw support for Obi.

Fayose further alleged that individuals who turn down offers from the All Progressives Congress (APC) are often subjected to smear campaigns.
