Obasanjo Urges Consultation with Zimbabwe on Inflation
Meanwhile, former President Olusegun Obasanjo has advised the Nigerian government, led by President Bola Tinubu, to seek solutions to the country’s inflation challenges by consulting with the government of Zimbabwe.
Obasanjo made the recommendation while speaking at a youth leadership symposium organized by the Centre for Human Security and Dialogue in collaboration with the Institute for African Culture and International Understanding, held at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library to mark his 87th birthday.
Addressing the theme “Opportunities for Peace: Roles of the Youths in Conflict Prevention in Africa,” Obasanjo emphasized Nigeria’s need to learn from Zimbabwe’s experience, especially in light of the alarming 29.9% inflation rate reported by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).
Obasanjo’s remarks underscore the importance of seeking innovative solutions to economic challenges and learning from the experiences of other nations to address pressing issues such as inflation.

The defection was announced in a statement on Sunday by Levinus Nwabughiogu, media aide to the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives. According to the statement, Chinasa—popularly known as Dogo—joined Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu at an APC stakeholders’ meeting held in Owerri, Imo State.
The meeting, which was convened by Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma, brought together several party leaders and formed part of ongoing efforts by the APC to strengthen its influence in the South-East region.
Chinasa’s move has attracted attention given his role in Abia State, where he previously worked closely with the Labour Party-led administration as a bridge between the state government and federal lawmakers.
His defection also signals a political shift, as he had earlier contested against Benjamin Kalu for the Bende Federal Constituency seat in the 2023 general elections on opposing platforms.
Reacting to the development, Kalu welcomed him into the APC and expressed confidence that more political figures may join the party in the near future. He also urged party members and aspirants to remain committed as preparations for future elections continue.
