Tinubu confidently remarked, “Push me to my brag mode, in the last three months, I’ve not taken a penny from NNPC before I meet my other obligations. To me, that is excellent.” When asked if he was grading himself, he replied, “Why not? Will you score me? I should grade myself if I do my homework right.”
In the same media session, Tinubu also addressed the fight against corruption. He argued that corruption harms the people and emphasized the importance of addressing its root causes. The President highlighted that his administration’s decision to raise the minimum wage to ₦70,000 was a measure aimed at reducing corruption by improving the welfare of Nigerians.
He explained, “Corruption in all its forms is harmful to the people, but first, pay attention to the causes. Why are people corrupt? The lack of social amenities, the lack of funds, and children’s education…” He added that anti-corruption efforts must include measures that support citizens’ basic needs, with a focus on fair wages and transparent governance.
Tinubu further mentioned that by providing more financial resources to state and local governments and promoting transparency in government earnings, his administration aims to reduce corruption to its minimum. He acknowledged the challenge of completely eliminating corruption but emphasized that it could be minimized by addressing the needs of the people.

Both Atiku and Kwankwaso are prominent figures within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition, which continues to attract interest from opposition stakeholders.
The visit also follows recent remarks by Atiku, where he dismissed suggestions that Kwankwaso could surpass him politically in the North. Speaking during an interview on Arise TV, he maintained that he remains more influential in the region, citing his extensive political network and support base.
Atiku further argued that no current or emerging northern politician matches his reach, adding that Kwankwaso’s influence is largely centered in Kano State, where he said political loyalty is now split between him and Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.
