“Enough Is Enough! Umahi Mocks Content Creators Over Lagos Coastal Highway Criticism!”.
Works Minister David Umahi has rejected claims that the Lagos Coastal Highway is responsible for flooding in the state, asserting that such criticism stems from a lack of technical expertise. During an interview on Arise News, the Minister explained that the project is specifically engineered to improve flood management rather than exacerbate it.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to Umahi, the highway’s design includes significant infrastructure—such as multiple evacuation channels and culverts placed approximately every 50 meters—to manage ocean surges and protect northern residential areas from water overflow. He further emphasized that the road has been elevated to a mitigated level through an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) to ensure long-term protection against rising water levels.
The Minister also criticized those he labeled “content creators” for posing as engineers, noting that Victoria Island experienced severe flooding long before the coastal highway was conceived, including during the period when Bola Ahmed Tinubu served as governor. He concluded that while Lagos faces various complex flooding factors, the highway is intended to fix the issue and will remain effective against ocean surges for at least the next 30 years.
Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and former ADC chieftain, Babachir Lawal, has asserted that the SGF’s office holds the primary responsibility for identifying and flagging the unauthorized Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC). Lawal made these remarks during an interview on ARISE Television amid ongoing police investigations into the alleged “fake agency,” which recently led to the detention of the father of the organization’s purported Director-General, Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Lawal’s perspective on the SGF’s oversight role includes:
-
During his own tenure, he personally attended budget defenses for the 23 agencies reporting directly to the SGF, ensuring he was fully informed of their operations.
-
Because the budgets of agencies reporting to the President through the SGF must pass through the SGF’s office before reaching the National Assembly, the SGF should naturally have knowledge of such entities.
-
Unless there is a “dereliction of duty,” the SGF should have flagged the existence of the fake agency.
-
He suggested that the SGF might only fail to intervene if they feel significantly “sidelined” and choose to ignore the issue.
-
Lawal emphasized that if he were in that position and felt sidelined, he would immediately protest the matter directly to the President.
Former presidential media aide, Bashir Ahmad, has announced that a prayer and remembrance gathering will be held to commemorate the first anniversary of the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

Ahmad highlighted several key aspects regarding the late former president and the upcoming memorial:
-
He characterized the late president as a leader who served Nigeria with discipline, integrity, patriotism, and commitment.
-
Buhari’s impact on the country’s political history and national development will remain a significant part of Nigeria’s story.
-
The gathering will bring together friends, family members, associates, and other Nigerians for reflection and prayers.
-
The prayers will focus on asking Allah to grant Buhari eternal rest (Al-Jannah Firdaus), forgive his shortcomings, and provide comfort to his loved ones and the nation.

“THE GREAT DEFECTION: Atiku’s Key Associate Joins APC, Holds High-Stakes Meeting With Yilwatda!”.
In a significant political realignment, Aslam Aliyu, a prominent Zamfara politician and long-time associate of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has defected from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Aliyu, who had worked with Atiku for nearly two decades and led the “Project Atiku Abubakar 2027” mobilization group, explained that her decision stems from the conclusion that the opposition lacks a meaningful blueprint or a sustainable plan to rescue Nigeria.
In a statement released in Abuja on Sunday, she stated: “After almost two decades of dedicated engagement, it has become undeniably clear that the opposition lacks a meaningful development blueprint or a viable and sustainable national rescue plan.“
Aliyu, who also predicted victory for President Tinubu in the 2027 elections, called on fellow opposition members, youths, and women to abandon what she termed “counterproductive politics” and align with the current administration.
Following her defection, Aliyu met with APC National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, who officially welcomed her to the ruling party. Yilwatda praised her decision, stating in a post on X that she had “made the right switch” to join the APC’s “Renewed Hope Agenda.“
