Former INEC Chairman Professor Mahmood Yakubu has officially presented his Letter of Credence to the Amir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, marking the start of his tenure as Nigeria’s Ambassador to the country.

During their private meeting, the two officials discussed several key areas of cooperation:

• The Amir of Qatar emphasized the strength of the existing relationship between the two nations and expressed a commitment to further bilateral ties.

• Ambassador Yakubu offered his condolences regarding a recent accident at Ras Laffan Industrial City.

• The Ambassador reaffirmed Nigeria’s dedication to improving collaboration with Qatar in sectors including trade, security, investment, education, and humanitarian affairs.

This diplomatic assignment represents a significant career transition for Yakubu, who concluded his leadership of Nigeria’s electoral commission late last year. His appointment was part of a broader diplomatic reshuffle initiated by President Bola Tinubu, which had previously drawn significant public attention. Ahead of his formal presentation, Yakubu was officially welcomed at the airport by Ambassador Ibrahim Yousif Abdullah Fakhro, the Director of the Protocol Department for Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

• Danjuma recounted instances where the woman would engage with her social media posts to present a positive image despite the secret relationship.

• Describing the experience, Danjuma stated, “Funny how I pretend I am stupid, but I know the girl I defended on national TV was sleeping with my man while I was with him”.

• She further highlighted the woman’s behavior in social settings, noting that the woman would be seen with her partner in clubs.

• Danjuma emphasized her own commitment to respecting others’ relationships and characterized the woman’s actions as a deep lack of integrity.

Three senior civil servants, who were transferred from the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF) to the alleged Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), have reported to investigators that they were assigned no responsibilities at the office. Although the Federal Government maintains it never established the PFIPC nor appointed Adeniyi Adeyemi as its Director-General, Adeyemi faces an eight-count charge of forgery and impersonation for allegedly claiming those roles.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to police and court records:

• Adeyemi allegedly sent a request to the Accountant-General on April 4, 2025, for the deployment of accounting and auditing staff.

• On August 28, 2025, the OAGF posted three officials—Ojo Victor, Omeh Amarachukwu, and Wakili Saidu—to the agency.

• Upon reporting for duty on September 8, 2025, the three officers were provided an open office space but were never given formal documentation, job descriptions, or work assignments.

• The officials stated they had never heard of the PFIPC prior to their deployment.

• Due to the total lack of work, the officers reported to the office only intermittently, ranging from once a week to three times a week, merely to make an appearance.

While investigators allege that Adeyemi forged government letterheads and appointment documents to secure the staff deployment, Adeyemi has denied these allegations, claiming he is being targeted by the Presidency.
