[The Presidential Blog] Heeding the first lady’s advice?

I have just read that the President met with APC governors in Abuja earlier this week. Looks to me like the President has taken the first steps towards reconciliation with his wife. Recall that she had complained during her BBC Hausa interview that the President was not being responsive to the pulse of those APC... Read More

[The Presidential blog]: Please whose budget is this?

FG will present N6trn as 2017 budget – Adeosun This was in the news yesterday. And I am just confused. Why are we presenting a NGN 6.86 trillion budget when we are still trying to finance a NGN6.06 trillion budget? Why will half this budget (let us assume it sees the light of day) still... Read More

[The Presidential blog]: See what Minister Lai Mohammed has been up to [PHOTOS]

While the rest of the leadership have been taking one side or the other in the “cabal” can of worms that Mrs Aisha Buhari opened up in her interview with the BBC Hausa service couple of weeks ago, Minister Lai Mohamed has been conspicuously silent. Some of our own cabals here at YNaija (*side eye to those... Read More

Eye on Buhari: The President reunites with his dear daughters and more

Following the roller coaster week that President Muhammadu Buhari had last week, we were not sure what to expect this week. It could have gone either way with him finally apologising for his misogynist comments or choosing to continue to defend them. Well much as we hoped, neither happened. Instead, it was a week full...

[The Presidential blog]: Bringing the anti-corruption crusade to a campus near you

What’s the motto of this administration? That’s right, anti-corruption. It started with pending issues like James Ibori’s, and we’ve all had to bear witness to how much the Buhari-led administration is invested in fighting corruption in Nigeria. You can complain about the recession all you want. This government is committed to seeing an end to all... Read More

[The Presidential blog]: The emotional photos of the #21Girls you haven’t seen

Today, October 19th, President Muhammadu received the 21 Chibok girls that were released by Boko Haram last Thursday. He wasn’t able to meet with them earlier due to his Germany trip. The girls were received by the president and vice president Osinbajo in Aso Rock and the sheer joy on the girls’ faces! https://www.instagram.com/p/BLwFfoSjbq0/?taken-by=bayoomoboriowo During the...

Day 2: Countdown to Aisha Buhari’s apology #IsSheInBrusselsOrSwitzerland?

Update: She still hasn’t apologised. But that’s understandable. She’s not back home yet. She’s still at the African Women’s Forum in Brussels, Belgium. Or is it Switzerland? LOL. We know. Earlier today Linda Ikeji reported that “Aisha Buhari is at the African Women’s Forum in Crans Montana, Switzerland where she is speaking on “Women’s Role... Read More

[The Presidential Blog]: Davido wants us to cut Buhari some slack

It’s not how we usually hear about Davido. I don’t remember a time when ‘Omo Baba Olowo’ has ever made comment that can be considered political and hopefully this does not come back to bite him. Actually, Nigerian musicians rarely touch on this particular subject but then who can blame (this is who by the way)... Read More

[The Presidential blog]: Buhari, his French counterpart and scandalous comments

President Buhari’s latest past time seems to be some weird determination to irk Nigerians. What else can explain his recent sexist comments against his wife, Aisha Buhari, from far away Germany and his subsequent ill-advised decision to stand by them? Nothing. Or so I thought. Until I stumbled on President Francois Hollande in the News and... Read More

[The Presidential blog]: The 7 ways Garba Shehu’s defense of Buhari doesn’t make sense

It is no News that having six aides attending to your media needs will not preclude the inability to properly respond to any situation. Our President has proven this and his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity too. The latter, one too many times. Yesterday, Mallam Garba Shehu decided that rather than wait the storm...

In the wake of the judiciary crisis that rocked half a dozen cities in Nigeria on Saturday, former President Olusegun Obasanjo and President Buhari held a closed door meeting in Abuja yesterday. Reports say the meeting was held behind the closed doors of the President’s office at the Villa and lasted less than an hour.... Read More

[The Presidential Blog]: They finally respond to the judiciary scandal and as expected, it was rushed and unacceptable

Remember the sting operation that got everyone riled up over the weekend? And rightly so too. Yes, the breaking and entering, the reckless abandon of due process that led ended up in a very polarised conversation all over the media space in Nigeria. We’ve wondered when the Presidency, the office directly in charge of the... Read More

[The Presidential Blog]: Want to know one of PMB’s earliest memories?

In celebration of #WorldTeachersDay today, President Buhari blessed us with a rare tweet that allows us a tiny insight into his childhood.

Who is the first Teacher you remember? — Muhammadu Buhari (@MBuhari) October 5, 2016 Lucky man, that Mr. Kasimu Zangon-Daura.... Read More

I am tempted to start this post with the simple one-liner, LOL. Do you know how a lot of people have been on PMB’s case to stop blaming past administration for all of the country’s problems? Including Chiefly, myself. Although Tolu Omoyeni added her own here. Well,it’s obvious now that he heard all but was just... Read More

You guessed right. He complained. Yet Again. About the Nigeria that he met. It appears the President thinks that we do not listen when he speaks. Otherwise how do you explain this whole idea of saying the same thing over and over. So this time it was in New York; before a group of Nigerian... Read More

[The Presidential Blog]: How To Get Away With Plagiarism

“If anything goes wrong, I will take responsibility, and I will fix it. That is what it means to lead”. This is my premise. It is where I start this admonition/reproach/plea – probably-the-most-conflicted-passage-ever-written. Yesterday, Adeola Akinremi revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari lifted chunks off President Barack Obama’s 2008 acceptance speech. It is extremely heart-breaking. And... Read More

I’ll be the first to admit that my heading is a little misleading. It’s for good reason.

The President will be in New York this week and... Read More
