Tinubu: Why Akpabio rejected acting President role – Rufai Oseni

Arise Television Morning Show anchor, Rufai Oseni, has explained why Senate President Godswill Akpabio rejected being addressed as Nigeria’s acting president while President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima were away from the country. Oseni said Akpabio’s insistence that he was not the acting president showed that he was unwilling to assert the powers of the National Assembly as a co-equal arm of government. He spoke on Monday while analysing the extended stay of President Tinubu’s stay out of the country. According to Oseni, Nigerians should not expect the National Assembly to challenge the President effectively, given its previous support for the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State. Oseni questioned whether Akpabio could effectively lead the National Assembly in challenging the executive, arguing that the legislature was constitutionally intended to operate as a co-equal arm of government. “So, if you think that this National Assembly will speak up and fight for you. It’s either you’re delusional, or you don’t read the news. “You’re talking about the National Assembly standing up to challenge the president. Is it not the same National Assembly that endorsed a state of emergency to settle a political squabble in a state, Rivers State in the country? “A political godfather and godson were fighting, the president looked first the option, state of emergency, and it should be on record. The same National Assembly endorsed it. How did they endorse it? Voice votes. “Is it Mr. Akpabio that was busy going about to even exonerate himself to say ‘I’m not the acting president. Don’t call me acting president.’ “This was because while President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima were away, some of the political surrogates of Akpabio were already callin

You’re pretending to be unaware of Tinubu’s whereabouts – Presidency hits Peter Obi

The Presidency has accused the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi of pretending to be unaware of President Bola Tinubu’s whereabouts. President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, made the remark in reaction to comment on Tinubu’s absence at the 81 United Nations General Assembly, UNGA, in New York. Onanuga disclosed that two other important African presidents, South Africa’s Cyril Ramaphosa and Egypt’s Abdel Fattah el-Sisi were also absent at UNGA and there was no uproar in their countries. Posting on X, Onanuga wrote: “Two other significant African leaders were not in New York for the UNGA: South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa and Egypt’s Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. Ramaphosa booked himself off public engagements. Johannesburg and Pretoria didn’t show any strong reaction to Ramaphosa not attending the UNGA. “Egypt did not explode, and Sisi did not go to New York. The Nigerian President said he would take his yearly break and asked his capable and trustworthy Vice President to attend to official duties in his place. “Yet Peter Obi acts as though he doesn’t know where President Tinubu is and asks the same silly question that his supporters are asking on X.” Onanuga said Tinubu will return to Nigeria to celebrate the country’s 66th Independence Anniversary and to honor MKO Abiola. Vice President Kashim Shettima had represented Tinubu at the 81st United Nations General Assembly, UNGA, in New York. Tinubu is scheduled to return to Nigeria from France on September 29, 2026, from Paris. His return was initially planned for the weekend, but the presidency confirmed a last-minute adjustment. Tinubu is expected to spend up to a week in Lagos before heading back to Abuja. You’re pretending to be unaware of Tinub

I promised you credit-based economy – Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has reassured to move Nigeria towards a credit-based economy. The President gave the reassurance in a statement posted on his verified X handle on Monday. Tinubu stated that the move is to establish a loan guarantee scheme that would help small businesses overcome the barriers that keep them from finance. According to the President, a worker with access to credit could buy what the family needs and pay over time, and a small business can invest today against the income it expects tomorrow. “When I sought your mandate, I promised to move Nigeria towards a credit-based economy and to establish a loan guarantee scheme that would help small businesses overcome the barriers that keep them from finance. “That promise was about something practical. We have been building the institutions to make that possible. Through CREDICORP, working Nigerians can access consumer credit. “Our students can finance their education through NELFUND, while the Bank of Industry and Development Bank of Nigeria continue to lend to businesses. “The National Credit Guarantee Company takes on one of the hardest barriers to business credit,” he tweeted.
